Abstract:
A package rectifying apparatus designed to prevent a rearmost one of packages (3) from being toppled rearwardly to fall down even though the packages have been rectified so as to partially overlap with each other and also to enable the amount of overlap between each neighboring packages to be adjustable. This package rectifying apparatus includes a rectifying and transport means (5,30,43) for bringing a leading end of one (3-2) of packages (3), having contents sealed therein, under a training end of another one (3-1) of the packages (3) which precedes such one (3-2) of the packages (3) so as to overlap the trailing end of such another one (3-1) of the packages (3) over the leading end of such one (3-2) of the packages (3) while the packages (3) are successively transported in a predetermined direction, and an overlap amount adjusting means (51,52,53) for adjusting the amount of feed of the packages (3) by the rectifying and transport means (5,30,43) to thereby adjust the amount of overlap between the neighboring packages (3).
Abstract:
An apparatus for transferring bag packs (10) containing sensitive loose material to a collective packer for the introduction of the packs into a carton or the like. To compensate for the difference in performance rates of a production machine (bag packer) for the packs (10) and the collective packer, there is provided a conveying device (17) with at least two conveyor belts (18, 19) which act as compensating conveyors. The packs (10) are fed to a special collecting station (16) by the conveying device (17). This collecting station comprises an intermediate band (35) and a group band (43). In the region of the intermediate band (35), the packs (10) are spaced out at a distance so they can be detected. In the region of the group band (43), a pack group (11) is formed from packs (10) lying tightly next to one another.
Abstract:
A machine for conditioning filled and sealed bags for testing, to assure that the bags are accurately tested without damaging the product contained in the bags, and for packaging the bags that have passed the test in cartons with the longitudinal axis of the bags arranged vertical.
Abstract:
A method of transferring a collation of flexible packages from a first location to a second location employs a loading head comprising an enclosure having an opening and a permeable barrier extending across the opening. The method comprises the steps of bringing the opening and the collation together at the first location, applying suction to the enclosure, thereby drawing air into the enclosure through the permeable barrier, drawing the packages against the barrier by the air drawn through the permeable barrier, and thus expanding upper regions of the packages towards one another by sub-atmospheric air pressure created by the suction. The packages tend to seal against one another and to prevent flow of air through the collation, so that the collation is held by suction against the barrier. The enclosure is transferred to the second location and the suction is removed to release the collation from the enclosure. Apparatus for carrying out this process incorporates a motor-driven radial flow fan without an external shroud mounted on the enclosure to generate the suction.
Abstract:
A packing machine for pouches or other flexible container is provided having an indexable conveyor, a feed means which discharges pouches onto said indexable conveyor, a sensing means for indexing the conveyor, a variable stroke vacuum head assembly with a vacuum shroud for transporting and packing the pouches, and means to vary the length of stroke of the vacuum head assembly.

Abstract:
A device and a method for dividing a flow of objects are provided to divide flow of objects with a high working processing rate. A device for dividing a flow of objects(2) such as foil backs, includes a conveyer and at least one slide portion. The objects are loaded on the conveyer along a line in a transfer direction(8). The at least one slide portion causes the objects on the conveyer to be moved for other objects on the conveyer. The slide portion can be moved in a direction of an angle less than ninety degrees for the transfer direction. The angle is less than seventy degrees, sixty degrees, fifty degrees, forty five degrees, forty degrees, thirty degrees, or twenty degrees. The angle is greater than five degrees, ten degrees, fifteen degrees, or twenty degrees.
