Benefits of technology

The invention relates to a method and apparatus for filling bags with granules. The technical effect of the invention is to provide a method and apparatus that can create bags with a cuboidal shape, allowing for better stacking and utilization of space. The support element is attached to a transporting belt, making it easy to fasten to existing apparatus. The angle between the flanks of the support element is preferably between 20° and 45°. Overall, the invention improves the efficiency and stability of the filling process.

Problems solved by technology

A disadvantage of this method is that the bags filled in this way deviate considerably from the optimum cuboid shape and as a result the stacking property of the bags is impaired.
Furthermore, space is not utilized optimally, since unused hollow spaces remain to a relatively great extent between the bags.

Embodiment Construction

[0044]FIG. 1a shows a palletized stack of granule bags which have been filled by a method according to the prior art.

[0045]FIG. 1a shows granule bags 31 which have been filled by a method according to the prior art. The granule bags 31 are stacked in six layers on a pallet 32. Located on this stack is a further pallet 32 having a further six layers of granule bags 31. Unused hollow spaces 35 between the bags 31 are clearly noticeable. Furthermore, the format of each individual bag 31 varies greatly and there are to some extent considerable deviations from the ideal cuboidal format. Further layers of bags 31 can no longer be deposited safely on the stack.

[0046]FIG. 1b shows a palletized stack of bags which have been filled and formatted by the method according to the invention.

[0047]FIG. 1b illustrates six layers of bags 30 on a pallet 32. Placed on top of this stack is a further pallet 32, on which likewise six layers of bags 30 are arranged. On account of the virtually cuboidal for...

Abstract

The invention relates to an apparatus and a method for filling bags (34) with granules. The invention also relates to a support element (1) for supporting a bag (34, 36) during filling, the support element (1) being in the form of a pitched roof, and means (24) for fastening to a transporting belt (10) being arranged on the underside of the support element (1).

Description

[0001]The invention relates to a method for filling bags with granules by way of a filling plant, and also to an apparatus for filling bags with granules, wherein a bag is supported by support elements during filling.PRIOR ART[0002]Bulk materials generally have to be filled into containers and packaged for transport. Bulk materials are, for example, sand, powder and granules of various materials. In the present description, the general term granules is used for all of these bulk materials.[0003]For transport, granules are packaged in particular into silo trucks, big bags, corrugated board octagonal containers and bags. With a silo truck, very large quantities of bulk material can be transported at once. However, the bulk materials are increasingly being requested in smaller units. Big bags and corrugated board octagonal containers provide disposable and reusable containers having a large capacity, typically between 500 and 2000 liters. However, the bulk materials are increasingly be...
