Abstract:
The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for deep-drawing a tray (1) from fiber-based sheet material (2), such as polymer coated board. The apparatus comprises a female moulding tool (3), which comprises a cavity (7) for forming the tray bottom outwardly, a male moulding tool (4), which comprises a plunger plate (11) for forming the tray bottom inwardly, the plunger plate being movable with respect to the cavity for forming the tray, and clamps (6, 15) with an interface for holding the sheet material and forming a tray rim flange. According to the invention by laterally distancing at least one of the moulding tools (3, 4) from the sheet material leeway is provided for free forming of the tray side walls while wrinkling or tearing of the same is avoided. Spacer plates (13) may be positioned behind the plunger plate (11), to adjust its position in relation to the cavity (7) of the female moulding tool (3). The cavity may have a separate bottom plate (8) and spacer plates (9) there below, or screw means may be provided for adjusting the distance of the bottom of the cavity from the clamp interface and thereby varying the depth of the tray.
Abstract:
A mould system for manufacturing a container which includes a movable mould half and a stationary mould half which are positioned opposite to each other, wherein the movable mould half includes a core plate provided with a core, a plate-like seal ring that is movable relative to the core, a seal surface which surrounds the core, and a collar ring that is movable relative to the core and the stationary mould half includes a mould plate provided with a mould cavity and a seal surface, wherein in the mould system, a plate-like insert is connected to the seal surface of the seal ring, the insert including a recess which is in contact with a front edge of the seal surface, so that it is in flow communication with molten plastic material flowing from the direction of the collar ring.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for deep-drawing a tray (1) from a blank of sheet material (2). The blank is provided with score lines, which determine the location of wrinkles formed in the process. The apparatus comprises a female moulding tool (3), which comprises a cavity (7) for forming the tray bot-tom outwardly, a male moulding tool (4), which comprises a plunger (11) for form-ing the tray bottom inwardly, the plunger being movable with respect to the cavity for forming the tray, and clamps (6, 15) with an interface for holding the sheet ma-terial and forming a tray rim flange. According to the invention by laterally distanc-ing at least one of the moulding tools (3, 4) from the sheet material leeway is pro-vided for free forming so that wrinkling of the tray side walls is achieved in a con-trolled manner. Spacer plates (13) may be positioned behind the plunger (11), to adjust its position in relation to the cavity (7) of the female moulding tool (3). The cavity may have a separate bottom plate (8) and spacer plates (9) therebelow, or screw means may be provided for adjusting the distance of the bottom of the cavi-ty from the clamp interface and thereby varying the depth of the tray.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method of providing board containers (V) with prints and a printing machine that applies the method. According to the invention, the printing machine comprises a turret head (2), with uniformly spaced radial arms (3) diverging from its rotational axis, each arm ending in a mandrel (4) that carries a container (1); and stationary stations (5, 6, 8) that are located on the path of the turret head for gripping a container, printing it by a printhead (7, 13), and removing the printed container (V). At the printing station (6), the container (1) is digital-printed by the printhead (7), past which the surface of the container is conveyed by means of a rotational motion. The container can be a conical drinking cup (1), which is ink-jet printed by the stationary printhead (7) by rotating the cup by 360° by means of the mandrel (4) that is pushed inside the cup. The cups (1) can be produced at a plant in mass-scale production runs and divided into smaller lots, which are delivered to customers and which the customers then print according to their own individual needs.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a container for liquid containing food products, manufactured by press forming of a polymer coated fiber based substrate, said container comprising a bottom portion, a sidewall portion and a top flange portion,wherein said press forming has resulted in the formation a plurality of creases extending in a direction from the bottom portion to the top flange portion and further across the top flange portion, characterized in that the container comprises an indentation pattern formed at a creased inner surface of said sidewall portion and/or at a creased top surface of said top flange portion, said indentation pattern preventing migration of liquid from a liquid containing food product in the container along said creases, and to a method for manufacturing such container.
Abstract:
Un método de embutición en profundidad de una bandeja (1) a partir de un material de lámina a base de fibra (2), comprendiendo el método las etapas de: (i) llevar el material de lámina entre una herramienta de moldeo hembra (3), que comprende una cavidad (7) para formar el fondo de bandeja hacia fuera, y una herramienta de moldeo macho (4), que comprende una placa de pistón (11) para formar el fondo de bandeja hacia dentro, (ii) sujetar el material de lámina a lo largo de la circunferencia de las herramientas de moldeo hembra y macho (3, 4) mediante un medio de sujeción (5), para retener el material (2) durante la etapa de embutición en profundidad, (iii) mover la placa de pistón (11) con respecto a la cavidad (7) para formar la bandeja, y (iv) en el que las herramientas de moldeo (3, 4) están dispuestas de tal manera que entre el fondo de la cavidad y la interfaz de la abrazadera, al menos una de las herramientas de moldeo macho y hembra está distanciada lateralmente del material de lámina, para evitar que las superficies de las herramientas de moldeo que puedan ajustarse perfectamente con el material de lámina y para permitir de este modo la formación libre de paredes laterales sin arrugas para la bandeja de embutición en profundidad producida, caracterizado por que se insertan placas separadoras (13) para ajustar la posición vertical de la placa de pistón (11).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a mould system (1) for manufacturing a container (500) and comprising a movable mould half (10) and a stationary mould half (20), which mould halves (10 and 20) are located opposite to each other; the mould system (1) can be used to manufacture the container (500), which comprises a bottom (57) pressed from a cardboard blank, walls (59) connected to the said bottom (57) and a rim (50) that is at least partly cast of plastic and connected to the upper edge of the walls (59), encircling the walls, whereby the mould half (10) that is movable with respect to the stationary mould half (20) includes at least a core plate (4) provided with a core (41), a plate-like seal ring (5) that is movable with respect to the core (41) and comprises a seal surface (5a) and surrounds the core (41), and a collar ring (6) that is movable with respect to the core (41) and the seal ring (5) and can be fitted between the same; and the stationary mould half (20) includes at least a mould plate (7) provided with a mould cavity (71) and a seal surface (7a). In the mould system (1), an insert (9 and/or 612), which changes the function of the said seal surface or collar ring at the casting stage of the plastic rim, can be detachably attached to the seal surface (5a) of the seal ring (5) and/or the collar (61) of the collar ring (6), which insert can also be used to change the dimensions of the basic rim (50) of the container (500) or to provide the surface of the said basic rim (50) with bulges extending upwards from the rest of its plane or with grooves that are lower than the rest of the plane of the surface (50), or to form projections (55), which protrude further from the outer edge of the basic rim (50) of the container (500) and which possibly comprise suspension means (56), such as openings.
