Patent

CA 2373521

A process of forming dunnage is disclosed. A chain of interconnected plastic pouches (38) are fed along a path of travel to a fill and seal station (24). The pouches (38) are sequentially opened as each pouch is positioned in the fill station. Each pouch is opened by directing a flow of air through a pouch fill opening (50) to separate a face (46) from a back (48) of each such pouch and continuing the flow of air through each such opening to inflate each opened pouch. Each such inflated pouch is then sealed to create hermetically closed and inflated dunnage units (56). Novel web and dunnage units are also disclosed.

L'invention concerne un procédé de réalisation d'emballage. Une série de sachets plastiques interconnectés (38) est acheminée le long d'une bande de transport vers une station de scellage et de remplissage (24). Les sachets (38) sont ouverts l'un après l'autre, tandis que chaque sachet est positionné dans la station de remplissage. Chaque sachet est ouvert par insufflation d'un flux d'air à travers une ouverture (50) de remplissage dudit sachet afin de séparer une face avant (46) d'une face arrière (48) de chaque sachet et à continuer à insuffler de l'air à travers chaque ouverture pour faire gonfler chaque sachet ouvert. Chaque sachet gonflé est ensuite scellé de manière à créer des unités d'emballage gonflées et fermées hermétiquement (56). L'invention concerne aussi de nouvelles unités d'emballage et de bande.
