Procedure and device for the accelerated filling of sacks

Abstract

Device for filling sacks ( 1 ), comprising at least one filler material metering device ( 2 ), a feeding hopper ( 3 ) and a sealing tab folder ( 5 ), wherein The feeding hopper ( 3 ) and sealing tab folder are arranged on a traversing device ( 6 ) that can be moved in the axis of the transport path (A); The feeding hopper ( 3 ) is designed in such a way that it can be loaded by the filler material metering device ( 2 ) at any location on the traversing path; A sack holder ( 4 ) is provided that can be traversed within the axis of the transport path (A), wherein the sack holder ( 4 ) and the feeding hopper ( 3 ) each execute a coordinated movement toward or away from each other. A procedure for the accelerated filling of sacks is also disclosed.

1 . A procedure for the accelerated filling of sacks, comprising the following steps: 
 Arranging the sack ( 8 ) to be filled on the filler necks ( 9 ) of a feeding hopper ( 3 );    Metering the filler material into a filler material metering device ( 2 ) and filling the sack ( 8 ) with the filler material;    Folding in the sealing tabs of the sack ( 8 ) and sealing the sack;    characterized by the fact that    the filler neck ( 3 ) is moved with the attached sack ( 8 ) in the transport direction (A) during the filling process;    a sack holder ( 4 ) is simultaneously moved against the transport direction (A) toward the sack ( 8 );    the sack is taken by the sack holder ( 4 ) where the oppositely moving sack holder ( 4 ) and feeding hopper ( 3 ) meet;    the sack holder ( 4 ) and feeding hopper ( 3 ) are moved to the initial position in the respectively opposite direction.    
     
     
         2 . The procedure according to  claim 1 , characterized by the fact that, after the sack holder ( 4 ) and feeding hopper ( 3 ) have been moved away from each other, a sealing tab folder ( 5 ) folds the sealing tabs of the sack ( 8 ).  
     
     
         3 . The procedure according to  claim 2 , characterized by the fact that the sealing tab folder ( 5 ) moves synchronously with the feeding hopper ( 3 ).  
     
     
         4 . The procedure according to  claim 3 , characterized by the fact that the sealing tab folder ( 5 ) and filler neck ( 9 ) of the feeding hopper ( 3 ) are spaced apart by roughly the width of the sack to be filled.  
     
     
         5 . The procedure according to one of the preceding claims, characterized by the fact that the sealing tab folder ( 5 ) further seals the folded sealing tabs.  
     
     
         6 . The procedure according to one of the preceding claims, characterized by the fact that the sealing tab folder ( 5 ) transfers the sack ( 8 ) with folded sealing tabs to a sealing device.  
     
     
         7 . The procedure according to one of the preceding claims, characterized by the fact that the path traversed by the sack holder ( 4 ) and feeding hopper ( 3 ) measures roughly half the width of the sack ( 5 ) to be filled.  
     
     
         8 . A device for filling sacks ( 1 ), each comprising at least one filler material metering device ( 2 ), a feeding hopper ( 3 ) and a sealing tab folder ( 5 ), characterized by the fact that 
 The feeding hopper ( 3 ) and sealing tab folder are arranged on a traversing device ( 6 ) that can be moved in the axis of the transport path (A);    The feeding hopper ( 3 ) is designed in such a way that it can be loaded by the filler material metering device ( 2 ) at any location on the traversing path;    A sack holder ( 4 ) is provided that can be traversed within the axis of the transport path (A), wherein the sack holder ( 4 ) and the feeding hopper ( 3 ) each execute a coordinated movement toward or away from each other.    
     
     
         9 . The device according to  claim 8 , characterized by the fact that the path traversed by the sack holder ( 4 ) and feeding hopper ( 3 ) measures roughly half the width of the sack ( 8 ) to be filled.  
     
     
         10 . The device according to  claim 8  or  9 , characterized by the fact that the sealing tab folder ( 5 ) is spaced roughly one width of the sack ( 8 ) to be filled away from the feeding hopper neck ( 9 ).  
     
     
         11 . The device according to one of  claims 8  to  10 , characterized by the fact that the sealing tab folder ( 5 ) is also provided with a sealing device to seal the sack.
