Definitions
- the present invention relates to a range of containers.
- the invention relates to a pallet comprising a plurality of layers.
- Each layer has a plurality of containers, each container comprising an upper side, a lower side and a lateral surface.
- the invention relates to a method for palletizing containers.
- the German patent application DE 35 38 119 A1 discloses a method and apparatus for securing a block of individual packages formed on a pallet.
- the block to be secured consists of several individual packages such as boxes, trays and the like, which are to be secured against falling or slipping of the individual packages from the pallet.
- effective fasteners are applied to the outside of the block.
- These connecting elements are designed in the form of bonding sites. Bonding points are only applied via an existing butt joint between directly adjacent individual packagings. This prior art, it is not possible to secure uneven individual packaging elements, such as shrink wrap from separate containers.
- the Japanese patent application JP 2006 069 655 A discloses a transport safety device for individual bottles, which are arranged on a pallet.
- the individual bottles are arranged in several layers on the pallet. Between the individual layers, an intermediate layer is present, which consists of a adhering to the individual layers of the bottles film.
- This transport safety device for the individual bottles is only suitable for empty bottles, as also stated in the patent application.
- the invention has for its object to provide a pallet with containers, which forms a sufficient transport security of the individual containers on the pallet and thereby claims a minimum amount of components to be recycled.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a method of palletizing containers which minimizes the consumption of raw materials to be recycled.
- the pallet according to the invention consists of a plurality of layers, wherein each layer is composed of several containers.
- Each container has an upper side, a lower side and a lateral surface.
- an adhesive is applied at the top and / or on the lateral surface of several containers of a layer. This adhesive acts with at least one partial surface of the lateral surface of a further container within the layer and / or with at least one Underside of the container an overlying layer on the pallet releasably together.
- the interaction of the adhesive on a container with at least one other container increases the stability of several containers of the pallet.
- the interaction of the adhesive on the top of a container with the bottom of another container prevents the individual layers can move against each other.
- the interaction of the adhesive on the lateral surfaces of the container stability within the individual layers is increased. Due to this increase in stability, it is no longer possible for the containers to slip within one layer.
- the containers are three-dimensional bodies which comprise an upper side, a lower side and a lateral surface.
- the lateral surface consists of at least three individual surfaces. In most cases, however, containers with four individual surfaces, such as beverage six-packs or boxes, will be used.
- the upper side, the lower side and the individual surfaces of the outer surface of the containers each consist of uniform flat surfaces. Uniform flat surfaces are to be understood as surfaces that do not have raised points or elevations.
- the adhesive is applied in the form of an adhesive surface, one or more adhesive sheets or in the form of adhesive dots.
- the application of the adhesive in the various forms depends primarily on the stability requirements of the pallet.
- a flat on the The top side and / or adhesive applied to a lateral surface produces a higher stability within the pallet than the application in the form of adhesive dots.
- the required stability depends on the size and weight of the containers.
- the containers can comprise several configurations.
- One possibility is that the containers consist of a box that holds together the individual liquid containers of a container.
- Another option is to assemble the packages using a shrink wrap that holds the contents of the packages together.
- the packages which are held together by a shrink film, comprise liquid containers in most cases.
- liquid containers are described, which are provided for the storage of drinks.
- bottles are used as liquid containers.
- liquid container such as beverage cans, oil cans or the like
- beverage cans oil cans or the like
- other items such as coffee packs, tea packs, noodles, rice or sugar packs to containers, such as with cardboard or with a shrink wrap can beraitgefast.
- a container made of bottles, which is held together with a shrink film also represents a three-dimensional body in the context of the invention.
- shrinking the shrink film arise at the top of the container several raised areas. These raised areas are created by shrinking the shrink film in the recesses between the individual liquid containers. The closures of the respective liquid containers in the container then form the raised points at the top of the container.
- the adhesive is applied to at least one raised location and / or at least one elevation.
- an intermediate layer is introduced between the individual layers of containers.
- This intermediate layer is located between the adhesive on the tops of the container of one layer and the undersides of the container of the next higher layer.
- the intermediate layer is characterized in that it has a high coefficient of friction, whereby slipping of the individual layers is prevented from each other. Because the intermediate layer has a high coefficient of friction, it is not necessary to apply an adhesive between the intermediate layer and the undersides of the containers of the next higher layer. It is advantageous that the individual layers can be easily lifted from the next lower lying position during depalletizing.
- the intermediate layer is made of the same material as the shrink film around the liquid container, as this reduces the effort in disposal. However, the material used is not limiting. It will be clear to those skilled in the art that the intermediate layer may be made of other materials. Another object of the liner may be to prevent the debris that has entered the pallet during transport from falling to lower layers.
- the adhesive is applied in the form of a hot glue on the container.
- a hot glue for the application according to the invention, especially the hot glues "Krones-colfix HM 5353" or “Krones-colfix HM 6003" are well suited.
- the hot glue used is characterized by the fact that they detachably connect the containers together. The containers are thus merely fixed by the hot glue, so that they are no longer positionally variable. When depalletizing the containers are thus easily separated from each other, so that they can be removed from the range without much effort.
- the layers of containers are wrapped on the pallet with a foil. This increases the stability of the containers on the pallet, so that no dirt and / or moisture can penetrate.
- Another way of transport safety is to cover the pallet with a shrink hood.
- This shrinkage is similar to how the shrink films for the container, heated and pulls it around the pallet together.
- the shrink hood has the advantage that it is closed at the top of the pallet, whereby the pallet is better protected against dirt and moisture.
- a combination of film wrapping and shrink hood can also be selected.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Palette mit Gebinden zu schaffen, die eine ausreichende Transportsicherung der einzelnen Gebinde auf der Palette bildet und dabei ein Mindestmaß an zu recycelnden Bestandteilen beansprucht.The invention has for its object to provide a pallet with containers, which forms a sufficient transport security of the individual containers on the pallet and thereby claims a minimum amount of components to be recycled.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Palette mit Gebinden von Flüssigkeitsbehältern gelöst, die die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 umfasst.This object is achieved by a pallet with containers of liquid containers, comprising the features of
Eine weitere Aufgabe der Erfindung ist, ein Verfahren zum Palettieren von Gebinden zu schaffen, das den Verbrauch an zu recycelnden Rohstoffen auf ein Mindestmaß reduziert.Another object of the invention is to provide a method of palletizing containers which minimizes the consumption of raw materials to be recycled.
Die obige Aufgabe wird durch ein Verfahren gelöst, das die Merkmale des Anspruchs 8 umfasst.The above object is achieved by a method comprising the features of
Die erfindungsgemäße Palette besteht aus einer Vielzahl von Lagen, wobei jede Lage aus mehreren Gebinden zusammengestellt wird. Jedes Gebinde weist eine Oberseite, eine Unterseite und eine Mantelfläche auf. An der Oberseite und/oder an der Mantelfläche mehrerer Gebinde einer Lage wird ein Haftmittel aufgetragen. Dieses Haftmittel wirkt mit mindestens einer Teilfläche der Mantelfläche eines weiteren Gebindes innerhalb der Lage und/oder mit mindestens einer Unterseite der Gebinde einer darüber angeordneten Lage auf der Palette lösbar zusammen.The pallet according to the invention consists of a plurality of layers, wherein each layer is composed of several containers. Each container has an upper side, a lower side and a lateral surface. At the top and / or on the lateral surface of several containers of a layer, an adhesive is applied. This adhesive acts with at least one partial surface of the lateral surface of a further container within the layer and / or with at least one Underside of the container an overlying layer on the pallet releasably together.
Durch das Zusammenwirken des Haftmittels auf einem Gebinde mit mindestens einem weiteren Gebinde wird die Stabilität der aus mehreren Gebinden der Palette erhöht. Durch das Zusammenwirken des Haftmittels an der Oberseite eines Gebindes mit der Unterseite eines anderen Gebindes wird verhindert, dass sich die einzelnen Lagen gegeneinander verschieben können. Durch das Zusammenwirken des Haftmittels an den Mantelflächen der Gebinde wird die Stabilität innerhalb der einzelnen Lagen erhöht. Durch diese Stabilitätserhöhung ist es nicht mehr möglich, dass die Gebinde innerhalb einer Lage verrutschen.The interaction of the adhesive on a container with at least one other container increases the stability of several containers of the pallet. The interaction of the adhesive on the top of a container with the bottom of another container prevents the individual layers can move against each other. The interaction of the adhesive on the lateral surfaces of the container stability within the individual layers is increased. Due to this increase in stability, it is no longer possible for the containers to slip within one layer.
Die Gebinde sind dreidimensionale Körper, welche eine Oberseite, eine Unterseite und eine Mantelfläche umfassen. Die Mantelfläche besteht aus mindestens drei Einzelflächen. In den meisten Fällen werden jedoch Gebinde mit vier Einzelflächen, wie Getränke-Sixpacks oder Kartons Anwendung finden.The containers are three-dimensional bodies which comprise an upper side, a lower side and a lateral surface. The lateral surface consists of at least three individual surfaces. In most cases, however, containers with four individual surfaces, such as beverage six-packs or boxes, will be used.
Die Oberseite, die Unterseite und die Einzelflächen der Mantelfläche der Gebinde bestehen jeweils aus gleichmäßigen ebenen Flächen. Unter gleichmäßigen ebenen Flächen sind Flächen zu verstehen, die keine erhabenen Stellen oder Erhebungen aufweisen. Auf diese Flächen wird das Haftmittel in Form einer Haftmittelfläche, einer oder mehrerer Haftmittelbahnen oder in Form von Haftmittelpunkten aufgebracht.The upper side, the lower side and the individual surfaces of the outer surface of the containers each consist of uniform flat surfaces. Uniform flat surfaces are to be understood as surfaces that do not have raised points or elevations. On these surfaces, the adhesive is applied in the form of an adhesive surface, one or more adhesive sheets or in the form of adhesive dots.
Der Auftrag des Haftmittels in den verschiedenen Formen richtet sich vor allem nach den Stabilitätsanforderungen der Palette. Ein flächig auf die Oberseite und/oder auf eine Mantelfläche aufgetragenes Haftmittel erzeugt eine höhere Stabilität innerhalb der Palette, als der Auftrag in Form von Haftmittelpunkten. Die benötigte Stabilität ist von der Größe und von dem Gewicht der Gebinde abhängig.The application of the adhesive in the various forms depends primarily on the stability requirements of the pallet. A flat on the The top side and / or adhesive applied to a lateral surface produces a higher stability within the pallet than the application in the form of adhesive dots. The required stability depends on the size and weight of the containers.

In the embodiments described herein, liquid containers are described, which are provided for the storage of drinks. In the preferred embodiment, bottles are used as liquid containers.
Für den Fachmann ist klar, dass zu Gebinden auch jede andere Art von Flüssigkeitsbehältern, wie zum Beispiel Getränkedosen, Öldosen oder dergleichen zusammengestellt werden können. Weiterhin ist klar, dass auch andere Gegenstände, wie zum Beispiel Kaffeepackungen, Teepackungen, Nudeln, Reis oder Zuckerpackungen zu Gebinden, wie zum Beispiel mit Karton oder mit einer Schrumpffolie, zusammengefast werden können.It will be clear to those skilled in the art that any other type of liquid container, such as beverage cans, oil cans or the like, may be assembled into containers. Furthermore, it is clear that other items, such as coffee packs, tea packs, noodles, rice or sugar packs to containers, such as with cardboard or with a shrink wrap can be zusammengefast.
Ein aus Flaschen bestehendes Gebinde, welches mit einer Schrumpffolie zusammen gehalten wird, stellt ebenfalls einen dreidimensionaler Körper im Sinne der Erfindung dar. Durch das Aufschrumpfen der Schrumpffolie entstehen an der Oberseite des Gebindes mehrere erhabenen Stellen. Diese erhabenen Stellen entstehen dadurch, dass sich beim Aufschrumpfen die Schrumpffolie in den Vertiefungen zwischen den einzelnen Flüssigkeitsbehältern zusammenzieht. Die Verschlüssen der jeweiligen Flüssigkeitsbehälter in dem Gebinde bilden dann die erhabenen Stellen an der Oberseite des Gebindes.A container made of bottles, which is held together with a shrink film, also represents a three-dimensional body in the context of the invention. By shrinking the shrink film arise at the top of the container several raised areas. These raised areas are created by shrinking the shrink film in the recesses between the individual liquid containers. The closures of the respective liquid containers in the container then form the raised points at the top of the container.
Weiterhin entstehen beim Aufschrumpfen der Flüssigkeitsbehälter Erhebungen an den Einzelflächen der Mantelfläche. Diese Erhebungen sind die Stellen, an denen die Flüssigkeitsbehälter ihre größte Querschnittsfläche aufweisen. Je nachdem wie viele Flüssigkeitsbehälter in dem Gebinde durch die Schrumpffolie zusammen gehalten werden, weist jede Einzelfläche mindesten eine Erhebung auf. Die Erhebungen entstehen wie die erhabenen Stellen dadurch, dass sich die Schrumpffolie beim Aufschrumpfen in die Zwischenräume zwischen den Flüssigkeitsbehältern zusammenzieht.Furthermore arise when shrinking the liquid container surveys on the individual surfaces of the lateral surface. These elevations are the locations where the liquid containers have their largest cross-sectional area. Depending on how many liquid containers are held together in the container by the shrink film, each individual surface has at least one survey. The elevations, like the raised areas, are created by shrinking the shrink film into the interstices between the liquid containers as it shrinks.
Bei den Gebinden, welche mit einer Schrumpffolie hergestellt werden, wird das Haftmittel auf mindestens eine erhabene Stelle und/oder auf mindestens eine Erhebung aufgetragen.For the packages made with a shrink wrap, the adhesive is applied to at least one raised location and / or at least one elevation.
In einer weiteren Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Palette aus Gebinden wird zwischen die einzelnen Lagen aus Gebinden eine Zwischenlage eingebracht. Diese Zwischenlage befindet sich zwischen dem Haftmittel auf den Oberseiten der Gebinde einer Lage und den Unterseiten der Gebinde der nächsten höher liegenden Lage. Die Zwischenlage zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass sie einen hohen Reibungskoeffizienten aufweist, wodurch ein Verrutschen der einzelnen Lagen gegeneinander verhindert wird. Dadurch, dass die Zwischenlage einen hohen Reibungskoeffizienten aufweist, ist es nicht nötig zwischen der Zwischenlage und den Unterseiten der Gebinde der nächst höher liegenden Lage ein Haftmittel aufzutragen. Vorteilhaft ist, dass die einzelnen Lagen beim Depalettieren leichter von der nächst tiefer liegenden Lage abgehoben werden können. Bevorzugter Weise wird die Zwischenlage aus dem gleichen Material hergestellt wie die Schrumpffolie um die Flüssigkeitsbehälter, da dies den Aufwand bei der Entsorgung verringert. Das verwendete Material stellt jedoch keine Beschränkung dar. Für den Fachmann ist klar, dass die Zwischenlage aus anderen Materialien bestehen kann. Eine weitere Aufgabe der Zwischenlage kann es sein den Schmutz, der beim Transport, auf die Palette gelangt ist daran zu hindern auf tiefer liegende Lagen zu fallen.In a further embodiment of the pallet of containers according to the invention, an intermediate layer is introduced between the individual layers of containers. This intermediate layer is located between the adhesive on the tops of the container of one layer and the undersides of the container of the next higher layer. The intermediate layer is characterized in that it has a high coefficient of friction, whereby slipping of the individual layers is prevented from each other. Because the intermediate layer has a high coefficient of friction, it is not necessary to apply an adhesive between the intermediate layer and the undersides of the containers of the next higher layer. It is advantageous that the individual layers can be easily lifted from the next lower lying position during depalletizing. Preferably, the intermediate layer is made of the same material as the shrink film around the liquid container, as this reduces the effort in disposal. However, the material used is not limiting. It will be clear to those skilled in the art that the intermediate layer may be made of other materials. Another object of the liner may be to prevent the debris that has entered the pallet during transport from falling to lower layers.
In bevorzugter Weise wird das Haftmittel in Form eines Heißleimes auf die Gebinde aufgebracht. Für die erfindungsgemäße Anwendung sind vor allem die Heißleime "Krones-colfix HM 5353" oder "Krones-colfix HM 6003" gut geeignet. Die verwendeten Heißleime zeichnen sich dadurch aus, dass sie die Gebinde lösbar miteinander verbinden. Die Gebinde werden somit durch den Heißleim lediglich fixiert, so dass sie nicht mehr positionsveränderlich sind. Beim Depalettieren sind die Gebinde somit leicht voneinander zu trennen, so dass sie ohne großen Aufwand von der Palette entnommen werden können.Preferably, the adhesive is applied in the form of a hot glue on the container. For the application according to the invention, especially the hot glues "Krones-colfix HM 5353" or "Krones-colfix HM 6003" are well suited. The hot glue used is characterized by the fact that they detachably connect the containers together. The containers are thus merely fixed by the hot glue, so that they are no longer positionally variable. When depalletizing the containers are thus easily separated from each other, so that they can be removed from the range without much effort.
Um die Palette für den Transport zusätzlich zu sichern, werden die Lagen aus Gebinden auf der Palette mit einer Folie umwickelt. Dies erhöht die Stabilität der Gebinde auf der Palette, somit kann auch kein Schmutz und/oder Feuchtigkeit eindringen.To additionally secure the pallet for transport, the layers of containers are wrapped on the pallet with a foil. This increases the stability of the containers on the pallet, so that no dirt and / or moisture can penetrate.
Eine weitere Möglichkeit der Transportsicherung besteht darin, die Palette mit einer Schrumpfhaube zu überziehen. Diese Schrumpfhabe wird ähnlich, wie die Schrumpffolien für die Gebinde, erwärmt und zieht sich dabei um die Palette zusammen. Gegenüber der Verwendung einer Folienumwickelung als Transportsicherung hat die Schrumpfhaube den Vorteil, dass sie an der Oberseite der Palette geschlossen ist, wodurch die Palette besser gegen Schmutz und Feuchtigkeit geschützt wird. Beim Transport von besonders sensiblen Gütern in den Gebinden auf der Palette kann auch eine Kombination aus Folienumwicklung und Schrumpfhaube gewählt werden.Another way of transport safety is to cover the pallet with a shrink hood. This shrinkage is similar to how the shrink films for the container, heated and pulls it around the pallet together. Compared to the use of a film wrapping as a transport lock the shrink hood has the advantage that it is closed at the top of the pallet, whereby the pallet is better protected against dirt and moisture. When transporting particularly sensitive goods in the containers on the pallet, a combination of film wrapping and shrink hood can also be selected.
Im Folgenden sollen Ausführungsbeispiele die Paletten mit Gebinden von Flüssigkeitsbehältern und das Verfahren zum Palettieren von Gebinden aus Flüssigkeitsbehältern und deren Vorteile anhand der beigefügten Figuren näher erläutern.In the following, exemplary embodiments will explain the pallets with containers of liquid containers and the method for palletizing containers from liquid containers and their advantages with reference to the attached figures.
