Abstract

Filling unit (1) for a packaging machine (100) for filling bulk materials (50) into packages (60), and packaging machine with a filling unit (1), comprising a conveyor device (2), by means of which bulk materials (50) can be conveyed into a package (60), and a control device (3), which is suitable and configured to guide a filling stream (4) into a package (60). A fill level sensor device (5) including a sensor device (6) is provided, which is suitable and configured to detect a first fill level (7) and a second fill level (8) of bulk materials (50) in a package (60), wherein the first fill level (7) corresponds to a lower fill level than the second fill level (8). The control device (3) regulates the filling stream (4) by way of the fill levels determined by the sensor device (6). With the method according to the invention, the package is filled until the second fill level is detected. Then the filling stream is reduced until the first fill level is detected. Thereupon the filling stream is increased.

A supporting device for a filter device including a flat-woven material manufactured of warp devices and weft devices, which form a woven surface, wherein the flat-woven material shows, in two opposite end portions, two free ends of warp devices or weft devices protruding from the woven surface. The flat-woven material is shaped to form a predetermined three-dimensional shape with a free cross-section, and the free ends overlap and are interconnected. The present method provides for shaping the flat-woven material around a molding part until the free ends of the two end portions overlap. The ends are interconnected. A filtering device accordingly includes a supporting device and a filter device.

Abstract

The invention relates to a filling machine (1) for filling open bags (3) with bulk material, wherein the open bag is at least temporarily received in a container (110) having a cleaning device (200), and cleaning device (200) for cleaning a tubular inner wall (111) of the container (110), e.g. of particles of bulk material, wherein the cleaning device has a cleaning apparatus (202) that is movable in the container (110) along a longitudinal direction (201). The cleaning apparatus (2-2) comprises a layer composite (203) of a plurality of layers (204-208). The layers (204-208) extend transversely with respect to the longitudinal direction (201), and the layer composite (203) comprises two end layers (204, 208), each having an end face (214, 218). One end layer (208) is formed as a top layer having a top face (218) and an end layer (204) is formed as a bottom layer with a bottom face (240). A multiplicity of outwardly directed fluid outlet openings (210, 211) is formed on the layer composite (203), in order to align a fluid flow (209) with the tubular inner wall (111) of the container (110).

Abstract

The invention relates to a compaction station (100) and a method with a compaction device (101) for compacting open-mouth bags (2) filled with bulk material, comprising a container (110) with a tubular inner wall (111) and a receiving space (112) for receiving a filled open-mouth bag (3), and a support unit (231) on a vertically movable lifting device (102), wherein the support unit (231) is supported from below in a lowered position (103) of the lifting device (102) and in a raised position (104) is suitable for acquiring a filled open-mouth bag (3) from an adjacent conveying device (106). Here, a press punch (120) that is lowerable from above is comprised, said press punch (120), in a lowered position (121), acting on the bulk material from above, and, in a raised position (122), allowing the acquisition of a filled open-mouth bag (3) from an adjacent conveying device (106).

Abstract

Apparatus and method for filling bulk materials into open bags (2), comprising the following steps: a) an open bag (2) is placed below a filling nozzle (6) of a filling station (5); b) the filling nozzle (6) is lowered and the open bag is suspended thereon (2); c) the filling nozzle (6) is moved upwards with the suspended open bag (2), with the result that the bottom end (9) of the open bag (2) hangs freely; d) the filling operation is started and bulk material is introduced into the open bag (2), with the result that the freely hanging bottom end (9) of the open bag (2) unfolds.
