Abstract
A device and a method for filling bags with products, wherein the bags have an opening via which the bags are each filled with at least one product, wherein walls of the bag are spaced apart from one another in the region of the opening in order to introduce the at least one product into the bag via the opening, and wherein, after the walls are spaced apart and before the at least one product is supplied, holding elements are introduced into the bag through the opening in order to hold the open bag in the region of the opening. At least some holding elements have at least one shaping element against which a wall of the bag bears in each case such that the material of the wall is preferably plastically deformed in order to hold the wall on the respective holding element via the respective shaping element.
Claims17
A method for filling bags (10) with products (11), wherein the bags (10) have an opening (28) via which the bags are each filled with at least one product (11), and wherein walls (20, 21) of the bag (10) are spaced apart from one another in the region of the opening (28) in order to introduce the at least one product (11) into the bag (10) via the opening (28), and wherein, after the walls (20, 21) are spaced apart and before the at least one product (11) is supplied, holding elements (24, 25) are introduced into the bag (10) through the opening (28) in order to hold an upper wall (20) of the open bag (10) in the region of the opening (28), while a lower wall (21) is held by a bottom plate (23) that protrudes into the bag (10), wherein the holding elements (24, 25) each have at least one shaping element (26) with a hemispherical or dome-shaped bulge (27) against which the upper wall (20) of the bag (10) bears in each case such that the material of the wall (20) is deformed in order to hold the upper wall (20) on the respective holding element (24, 25) via the respective shaping element (26), and wherein the holding elements (24, 25) are arranged pivotably on a holder (39), on which a suction element is also mounted.
A device for filling bags (10) with products (11), the device having holding elements (24, 25), wherein the bags (10) have an opening (28) via which the bags can each be filled with at least one product (11), and wherein walls (20, 21) of the bag (10) can be spaced apart from one another in the region of the opening (28) in order to introduce the at least one product (11) into the bag (10) via the opening (28), and wherein, after the walls (20, 21) are spaced apart and before the at least one product (11) is supplied, the holding elements (24, 25) are introduced into the bag (10) through the opening (28) in order to hold an upper wall (20) of the open bag (10) in the region of the opening (28), while a lower wall (21) is held by a bottom plate (23) that protrudes into the bag (10), wherein the holding elements (24, 25) each have at least one shaping element (26) with a hemispherical or dome-shaped bulge (27) against which the upper wall (20) of the bag (10) bears in each case and is designed to deform the material of the upper wall (20) in order to hold the upper wall (20) on the respective holding element (24, 25) via the respective shaping element (26), and wherein the holding elements (24, 25) are arranged pivotably on a holder (39), on which a suction element is also mounted.
