Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for producing packs by wrapping objects in alternatively one or more blanks, in particular for producing large packs from pack groups (cigarette sticks each consisting of several cigarette packs), with a first folding turret for wrapping in a blank , in particular cardboard blank, and a second folding turret for wrapping in another blank, in particular a paper or film blank, the folding turrets each having a plurality of pockets open in the radial direction, each for receiving an object or a pack group with one Cutting, and wherein the object or the pack group can be inserted directly into the adjacent, second folding turret by being pushed out of a pocket of the same.
  • pack groups cigarette sticks each consisting of several cigarette packs
  • Cigarette sticks for example, consist of ten packs of cigarettes that are encased in a common blank. This can consist of cardboard, paper or a film.
  • the construction of such large packs can be chosen so that the pack group is encased by several blanks.
  • the pack group is alternatively wrapped in a paper blank, in a foil blank or in both of the aforementioned blanks.
  • the pack group runs through one or two folding revolvers, in the area of which cuts can be made and folds can be made.
  • the large pack provided with one or more blanks leaves the device, depending on the structure, in the area of a first, upper folding turret or in the area of the second, lower folding turret. The package exit is therefore on two different levels.
  • the invention is based on a device according to DE-A-3 123 496.
  • the object to be achieved is to make the device simpler and more effective in its construction, in particular with regard to a higher output. Furthermore, regardless of the particular design of the pack selected, the outlet thereof from the device should always be on the same level.
  • the device according to the invention is characterized in that the objects or pack groups always pass through both folding turrets, with cardboard and paper or film cutting alternatively or cumulatively being able to be fed to the respective folding turret, and in that both folding turrets each have three pockets and can be driven with the same direction of rotation.
  • the pack group therefore always takes the same route, regardless of which of the blanks is provided as a covering.
  • This has the advantage that the output of the finished packs is always in the same plane, so that further transport can also be standardized.
  • the device according to the invention consists of two folding turrets, of which the first (upper) is intended and set up exclusively for processing cardboard blanks.
  • the following folding turret through which the pack groups or the wrapping wrapped in the cardboard blank passes in any case, is intended for processing paper or foil blanks.
  • a material web is brought up to the outer circumference of this second folding turret and held by suction bores.
  • a paper or film blank is kept ready in the area of a pocket of the folding turret and is placed in a U-shape around the pack or pack group when it is inserted into the pocket.
  • the different design options of the packs are given by the fact that, alternatively, no cardboard blanks are fed in the area of the first folding turret or no blanks are fed in the area of the second folding turret.
  • the second folding turret is designed in a special way for processing the film blanks. This is assigned a special feeding device, which, in cooperation with the folding turret, ensures that the film-technical cuts that are critical in terms of packaging technology can be processed without any problems, despite unfavorable dimensions (small dimensions in the direction of conveyance with a relatively large width).
  • the film blanks are separated from the film web on a cutting roller and fed to the circumference of the folding turret by the cutting roller.
  • the unit consisting of the folding turrets and the cutting roller on the one hand and the feed device on the other hand work discontinuously or intermittently, and in counter-clockwise fashion.
  • the feed device stops, while conversely it feeds a section of the film web, while the folding turret and cutting roller stand still.
  • a free supply of material is formed between the above-mentioned units or devices, preferably as a free sag, which ensures perfect, wrinkle-free or tension-free transport of the web section or the film cut to the second folding turret.
  • features of the invention accordingly relate to the configuration of the folding turret, the cutting roller and the feed device. Furthermore, features of the invention relate to the first folding turret and devices for feeding and preparing the cardboard blank.
  • the present exemplary embodiment relates above all to the production of larger packs 20 from several individual, smaller packs, in particular cigarette packs 21, which are combined to form a pack group 22 and leave the device as cigarette packs.

  • the foil blank according to FIG. 2 is constructed in a similar manner, namely also with top wall 31, bottom wall 32, side wall 33 and two edge-side tubular tabs 34 and 35 to form a side wall. All of the above cut parts are provided with end flaps 36 on the side.
  • the cardboard blank 23 is prefabricated, namely pre-punched, while the foil blank 24 is separated from a continuous foil web 37.
  • the pack group 22 is wrapped in one or both of the blanks according to FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • the pack group 22 passes through a first folding turret 38 and then a second folding turret 39 regardless of the number and type of cuts.

  • the punch knife 173 works together with a rotating punch roller 165 as a counterpressure element.
  • FIGS. 11, 12 and 13 the movement path of the pack group 22 or the pack 20 as well as the movement path of an existing blank or a film path is shown by double lines.
  • 11 shows an embodiment in which the pack group 22 is first wrapped in a cardboard blank 23 and then in a paper or foil blank 24. Both folding turrets 38, 39 act as folding units in this embodiment.
  • FIG. 12 shows the production of packs 20 in which the pack groups 22 are only wrapped in the cardboard blank 23.
  • the complete package 20 to this extent also passes through the (second) folding turret 39, but without being wrapped here again.
  • a film web 37 or a film blank 24 is not fed in here.
  • the 14 shows the third possibility, namely the wrapping of the pack group 22 only in a film blank 24.
  • the pack group 22 first passes through the first folding revolver 38 without wrapping.
