Способ изготовления, наполнения продуктом и запечатывания пакетов из упаковочного материала на двух поточных линиях и машина для его осуществления

Номер: SU1628849A3
Принадлежит: АБ ТЕТРА ПАК (ФИРМА)

Изобретение относится к способам изготовления, наполнения продуктом и запечатывания пакетов из упаковочного материала на двух поточных линиях и к машинам для осуществления способов. Целью изобретения является снижение энергозатрат, а также повышение надежности в работе. Заготовки для пакетов (упаковочных контейнеров) продвигаются прерывисто во время обработки и наполнения между различными устройствами (станциями), входящими в поточную линию. Когда машина содержит две лоточные линии, каждая из которых включает транспортер, соединяющий все устройства, приводной блок машины нагружается неравномерно. Для предотвращения этого предлагается асинхронно приводить в действие транспортеры обеих поточных линий. В то время, когда один транспортер находится в состоянии покоя, второй транспортер (транспортер второй поточной линии) двигается между устройствами. В результате приводной блок имеет значительно более равномерную кривую изменения крутящего момента, вследствие чего можно предотвратить неравномерную ...

A battery powered banding tool is adapted with a punch for use in tightening and securing center punch type band clamps. A hand-held electrically powered drill is configured for rotationally driving a band tensioner mounted thereto. The band tensioner includes a gear box, and a mount including a generally U-shaped rigid strap which engages the rear of the driving tool to secure the gear box. The gear box contains a worm gear axially coupled to the chuck for powered driven rotation thereby. The worm gear is in intermeshing relation with a winder gear disposed within the gear box and configured for rotation about an axis disposed generally perpendicular to the worm gear axis. A winder, defining a band-receiving slot, is affixed to the winder gear and rotationally driven thereby. A punch assembly, defining a band-receiving slot, is disposed in forwardly spaced aligned relation with the winder. The punch assembly includes a pivotal punch that functions to allow the user to lock a center punch band clamp by deforming the band within the confines of the band buckle upon impact.
