Abstract
The invention relates to a tray sealer comprising conveyor belts that can be displaced in a direction transversely to the conveying direction.
Description
- This Application claims priority to German Application Number 102011106826.4 filed Jul. 7, 2011 to Wolfgang Negele entitled “Tray Sealer,” currently pending, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
- The invention relates generally to a tray sealer.
- Tray sealers of the type offered also by the applicant are disclosed in
DE 10 2008 030 510 A1. In order to achieve high performance, belt speeds and belt accelerations can be varied by the operator making use of the machine control. In regards to high belt speeds and belt accelerations, it is of decisive importance that the bottom of the tray filled with a product adheres to the belt surface of the conveyor. The adherence may also change during the production process due to an increase in air humidity or due to liquid product residues, and this leads to malpositioning on the collecting belt. A gripper system may then perhaps no longer be able to seize the trays and the tray sealer will come to a standstill so that the malfunction can be remedied. These downtimes impair the performance of the tray sealer. - It is the object of the present invention to resolve this problem with means having the simplest possible structural design.
- The tray sealer according to the present invention comprises a conveyor including a supply conveyor and/or a collecting conveyor disposed downstream of the supply conveyor in a conveying direction so as to convey trays to a work station, preferably a sealing station of the tray sealer. The tray sealer is characterized in that the supply conveyor and/or the collecting conveyor each comprise at least two conveyor belts, at least two of these conveyor belts being displaceable in a direction transversely to the conveying direction. The conveyor belts may have the same width, which is more than 50% smaller than the width of a single conveyor belt that has been used for this purpose. Due to the smaller contact surface of narrow conveyor belts, less product residues (e.g., pickle or sauces and dressings that may spill over the edge of the trays) will remain on the conveyor belts. The narrow conveyor belts are faster and easier to clean. The conveyor belts can be adjusted such that product residues running down laterally on the outer surfaces of the trays will not even reach the conveyor belts. This improves the friction of the trays on the conveyor belts thus allowing higher belt speeds and belt accelerations. Process reliability is increased as well. The displaceability of the conveyor belts in a direction transversely to the conveying direction guarantees an optimum adaptation to different tray bottoms and improved contact with maximum adherence.
- The conveyor belts are preferably adapted to be driven in a form-fit manner (e.g., by means of toothed belt wheels, chain wheels or drive rolls) so as to be insensitive especially to liquids which, in the case of friction drives, have a negative influence on friction.
- In one embodiment, conveyor belts are toothed belts. The toothed side of the toothed belt improves the discharge or displacement of foreign matter on the toothed belts, similar to the tread pattern of a tire.
- The toothed belts may have teeth on either side thereof (i.e., on the contact side and on the opposite, inner side) so that the mode of arrangement of the drive will be more flexible.
- The toothed belts can advantageously be driven by means of the teeth. The resultant form fit allows different belt tensions and is resistant to contamination and foreign matter.
- A special tooth shape of the toothed belt is a round shape without any horizontal support, this kind of shape preventing product residues from depositing.
- According to one embodiment, the conveyor belts each have a width of 40 mm or less, preferably 20 mm or less, so as to provide a wide adjustment range and minimize the area where product residues may deposit.
- In order to optimize the transfer of the tray from the supply conveyor to the collecting conveyor, at least one conveyor belt of the supply conveyor and at least one conveyor belt of the collecting conveyor have, in the conveying direction, a common and/or neighboring conveying path in the area where the trays are transferred from the supply conveyor to the collecting conveyor.
- The conveyor belts can be displaced manually, pneumatically or by an electric motor so as to allow the operator to carry out a fast and easy displacement and so as to permit by means of a control unit of the tray sealer an automatic displacement including storage of the displacement positions in the control unit.
- According to one embodiment of the invention, the respective conveyor belts of the supply conveyor and of the collecting conveyor have a common drive shaft, said drive shafts driving the respective conveyor belts. This has the advantage that only one drive motor is provided for a plurality of conveyor belts of a conveyor and that this is a simple and cost-efficient structural design.
- Other and further objects of the invention, together with the features of novelty appurtenant thereto, will appear in the course of the following description.
- In the accompanying drawing, which forms a part of the specification and is to be read in conjunction therewith in which like reference numerals are used to indicate like or similar parts in the various views:

FIG. 1 shows in a perspective view atray sealer 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention. Asupport frame 2 has provided thereon awork station 3, in the present case as shown, a gas flushing, sealing and cutting station. Asupply conveyor 4 and a downstream collectingconveyor 5 convey filled trays (not shown) to thework station 3. A gripper withgripper arms 6 may seize the trays and conveys them into thework station 3. A cover film 8 is unwound from afilm dispenser 7 and also conveyed into thework station 3. When the trays have been evacuated and/or gas flushed with a substitute gas (Modified Atmosphere Packaging, MAP), they are hermetically sealed with the cover film 8 unwound from thefilm dispenser 7. Subsequently, a cutting tool cuts the packaging trays 23 (cf.,FIG. 3 ) out of the cover film 8, i.e. it separates the packages from one another. The residual film grid of the cover film 8 may be wound onto aresidual film winder 9. The closed and singulated packages may be placed onto adischarge belt 10 and removed from thework station 3 and from thetray sealer 1 by means of said belt. Adisplay device 11 andcontrol elements 12 can be implemented to visualize the sequence of operating steps and the operating condition of thetray sealer 1 and allow an operator to operate thetray sealer 1. -
FIG. 2 shows thesupply conveyor 4 comprising twoparallel conveyor belts 13 in the form of toothed belts having teeth on one side thereof Theconveyor belts 13 are driven in common via adrive roll 14, which is driven by aservo drive 15 and agear mechanism 16. Theteeth 17 of theconveyor belt 13 are directed upwards and outwards, respectively, and are used as a support for the bottom of the tray. By means ofdeflection pulleys 18 theconveyor belt 13 is guided along thedrive roll 14 such that the support-side teeth 17 interact in a form-fit manner with the teeth of thedrive roll 14. In one embodiment, bothconveyor belts 13 are adjustable on theshafts 19 in a direction transverse to a conveying direction R. By means ofreleasable clamping rings 20 eachconveyor belt 13 can be displaced separately by hand through the operator. When aconveyor belt 13 is being displaced, also theteeth 17 of theconveyor belt 13 will move along thedrive roll 14, without any necessity of displacing thedrive roll 14. In order to allow slackening of theconveyor belts 13, the belts can be released by means of alocking device 21 so that adjustment, exchange or cleaning of theconveyor belts 13 can be carried out. Eachconveyor belt 13 has a width B, which may, for example, in one embodiment may be in a range from about 10 mm to 50 mm, and in another embodiment in a range of about 20 mm to about 40 mm and in yet another embodiment is about 30 mm. -
FIG. 3 shows a top view (below) and a side view (above) of asupply conveyor 4 and asubsequent collecting conveyor 5 according to the prior art, each of said conveyors comprising a broad,continuous belt 22. Thetrays 23 are received on thebelt 22 such that the entire surface of the respective tray bottom 24 rests thereon. When thetray 23 is being transferred from thesupply conveyor 4 to the collectingconveyor 5, bothbelts 22 move at the same speed. -
FIG. 4 a shows a top view of asupply conveyor 4 and of a collectingconveyor 5 of atray sealer 1 according one embodiment of the present invention. For allowing a comparison withFIG. 3 , thebelts 22 are represented in the drawing by a broken line. Theconveyor belt 13 of thesupply conveyor 4 and theconveyor belt 13 b of the collectingconveyor 5 are adapted to be displaced in a direction transversely to the conveying direction R. One ormore stoppers 25 can be provided between theconveyor belts 13, saidstoppers 25 being moved from a downward position upwards via the conveying plane, which is defined by the tray bottoms, so that, if necessary, thetrays 23 can be stopped on thesupply conveyor 4 with theconveyor belt 13 running - Another embodiment is shown in
FIG. 4 b. Thesupply conveyor 4 comprises threeconveyor belts 13 and the collectingconveyor 5 comprises twoconveyor belts 13 b. Theconveyor belts 13 of thesupply conveyor 4 project here into the area of theconveyor belts 13 b of the collectingconveyor 5, so that, when thetrays 23 are being transferred, the tray bottom 24 will be in full-area contact with theconveyor belt 13 and/or theconveyor belt 13 b. Thus, a common and/or overlapping conveyor path is formed. Making use of thestoppers 25, thetrays 23 can be stopped on the collectingconveyor 5 at the fetching position for thegripper arms 6. The speeds of theconveyor belts - It is also imaginable to configure the
discharge belt 10 such that it comprises at least twoconveyor belts track tray sealer 1 with laterallydisplaceable conveyor belts - From the foregoing, it will be seen that this invention is one well adapted to attain all the ends and objects hereinabove set forth together with other advantages which are obvious and which are inherent to the structure.
