20140260119 | FILLING MACHINE FOR FILLING PACKAGING CONTAINERS WITH PRODUCTS, AND METHOD THEREFOR - A filling machine for filling packaging containers made of cardboard composite material with products, in particular liquid foods, includes a gripper that removes a packaging jacket from a magazine only partially erected in the manner of a parallelogram by a guide and at least one of two retaining elements for accommodating an outer fold edge of the partially erected packaging jacket can be move back and forth between an initial position and an end position. The cross-section of the packaging jacket accommodated by the two retaining elements is rectangular in the end position of the movable retaining element. | 09-18-2014 |
20130269298 | FILLING MACHINE AND METHOD FOR OPERATING A FILLING MACHINE - A filling machine includes a plurality of parallel-running conveyor lines, to which packaging jackets are supplied for producing the packaging containers and along which the packaging jackets or the packaging containers produced therefrom are conveyed in a conveying direction. The conveyor lines include a first section and a second section therebehind in the conveying direction the distance between at least two of the conveyor lines in the first and second section transverse to the course of the conveyor lines is different so that at least one of the two conveyor lines in the second section runs with a lateral offset to the first section. A handling apparatus is disposed in the conveying direction upstream of the second section, which apparatus takes the packaging jackets or packaging containers from the conveyor lines in the first section and transfers them to the conveyor lines in the second section. | 10-17-2013 |
20120291898 | Dosing Device and Dosing Method for Liquids - The invention relates to a dosing device having an inlet for a liquid to be delivered to a container as a dose, in particular a beverage. The device comprises a valve seat, a sealing element interacting with the valve seat and an outlet for the dose of the liquid. In order to reduce foam build-up upon delivering the liquid into the container, according to the invention the sealing element can be moved to a first and a second opening position, wherein, in the second opening position, the flow cross-section area between the valve seat and the sealing element is larger than in the first opening position. In addition, the invention relates to a dosing method comprising the supplying of a liquid to a valve which is moved to a first and second opening position. | 11-22-2012 |
20120189856 | LAMINATE STRUCTURES - A laminate structure comprises, from the outside to the inside, a substrate, a polypropylene layer comprising a blend of polypropylene and a plastomer, an oxygen barrier layer, and a polymer layer. The oxygen barrier layer can comprise a blend of 70-90% by weight high-barrier resin and 10-30% by weight an aliphatic nylon. The polymer layer can comprise a blend of 50-89% by weight polyolefm, 10-50% by weight plastomer and 1-10% by weight anti-blocking agent. | 07-26-2012 |
20120085370 | Device and Method for Filling or Packing Contents into Containers - The invention relates to a device and a method for filling or packing contents, particularly beverages, food, medications, or the like, into containers. As the containers pass through the device from an inlet to an outlet side, the containers passing through the working chamber have a sterile fluid, particularly sterile air, applied thereto for preventing germ growth. In order to reduce the cleaning effort for lines for the sterile fluid, the invention proposes that a cleaning medium having an internal line is inserted into the line for applying the sterile fluid. The line no longer needs to be disassembled in order to load the sterile fluid. In order to distribute the sterile fluid uniformly throughout the containers in a working chamber, the sterile fluid is distributed in two stages, first by means of the pipe extending into the working chamber, as described above and then through a profile extending over the containers and below the pipe, having openings for passing the sterile fluid. The profiles can be disposed rotatably about an axis, in order to reduce the cleaning effort after filling. | 04-12-2012 |

20110076506 | LAMINATE STRUCTURES - A method of producing a laminate structure comprises producing a multi-layer barrier film by producing a blown film of n-layers, by a blown extrusion process and subsequently collapsing the n-layer blown film to form the multi-layer barrier film, which consists of 2n-layers and which comprises a first polymer layer, a gas barrier layer and a second polymer layer, wherein at least one of the first and second polymer layers comprises a polyamide layer, providing the outside of a substrate with a polymer layer, and extrusion laminating the multi-layer barrier film to the inside of the substrate by an adhesive layer. In one embodiment, the first polymer layer, the gas barrier layer and the second polymer layer form a first barrier block, and the multi-layer barrier film further comprises a second barrier block, substantially identical to the first barrier block. | 03-31-2011 |
