Method using separating system for containers

A method of separating frame waste from a frame assembly, the frame assembly including a container and the frame waste, the method comprising steps of:

• forming a frame assembly including a closed and sealed hollow container with a frame waste formed therewith, the frame assembly at least partially surrounding the container, the frame assembly being formed of polypropylene plastic material;
• placing the frame assembly in a stamping device;
• and
• separating the frame waste from the frame assembly in the stamping device, while the frame assembly is still warm or hot from the forming thereof, by a first free fall body of the stamping device being moved from an initial position spaced from the frame assembly to a separating position engaging the frame assembly in a free fall movement of the first free fall body to separate the frame waste from the frame assembly;
• engaging a lifter of the stamping device with the first free fall body to move the first free fall body from the separating position to the initial position;
• forming the frame assembly as card shaped with a plurality of individual containers separating a head part and a bottom part of the frame waste;
• moving a separate, second free fall body, spaced in succession along a transport line, in a free fall movement thereof relative to the respective head part or bottom part from an initial position thereof spaced from the respective part and a separating position thereof engaging the respective part to separate the respective part from the containers;
• an angled base of the stamping device having a base body with a horizontally arranged base part guiding and supporting the frame assembly to extend parallel to the first free fall body and with a vertically extending guide part guiding vertical movement of the first free fall body;
• a first transfer device transferring the frame assembly exiting a production machine making the frame assembly in a vertical orientation to a pivoting device and being arranged upstream of the pivoting device in a transport line, the pivoting device pivoting the frame assembly from the vertical orientation to a horizontal orientation underneath the first free fall body and having two frame parts pivotable separately from one another and clamping the frame assembly on one of a head side and a bottom side for a separating process on the other of the head side and the bottom side;
• a second transfer device following the pivoting device in the transport line and horizontally transferring the frame assembly from which the frame waste of the one of the head side or the bottom side had been removed to a downstream stamping device having a free fall body separating remaining frame waste from the frame assembly on the other of the head side or the bottom side;
• and
• the second transfer device retrieving the frame assembly from the downstream stamping device and transferring that frame assembly in the transport line to a removal station.

• placing the frame assembly in a stamping device;
• separating the frame waste from the frame assembly in the stamping device, before the frame assembly cools to ambient temperature after so as to be still warm or hot relative to the ambient temperature from the forming thereof, by a first free fall body of the stamping device being moved from an initial position spaced from the frame assembly to a separating position engaging the frame assembly in a free fall movement of the first free fall body to separate the frame waste from the frame assembly;
• and
• a first transfer device transferring the frame assembly exiting a production machine making the frame assembly in a vertical orientation to a pivoting device arranged upstream of the pivoting device in a transport line, the pivoting device pivoting the frame assembly from the vertical orientation into a horizontal orientation underneath the free fall body and having two frame parts pivotable separately from one another and clamping the frame assembly on one of a head side or a bottom side for a separating process on the other of the head side or the bottom side.
