• Description: Spout Inserting Machine

Other Specifications:

The Spout Inserting Machine is a machine designed for sealing spouts into pouches horizontally.
The machine is divided into several stations. The stations of the machine are as follows:

Control unit
The control unit is housed in a dedicated cabinet. The entire machine can be operated through the control unit by the touch screen.
Below the touch screen is the emergency button located. On the other-side of the machine there is a second small control panel .

Electric cabinet
All electric connections are located in a cabinet at the back-side of the machine, except the connections of the spout and pouch feeder which are located in a cabinet under these feeders.

Pneumatic cabinet
All pneumatic connections, lines and valves are located in a cabinet at the back-side of the machine, except the vacuum ejectors of the openers and the vacuum test station, the valves of the seal and cool stations and the valves of the spout feeder which are located near their stations.

Pouch in-feed
The pouch feeder takes the pouches from the pouch cartridge between counter rotating belts and shoots the pouches into the machine.
The pouch shoots between two belts, at that moment the pouch will be proper aligned . The movable belt goes down and transports the pouch further into the machine.
Pouches that can be handled by the SIM can vary in sizes and seal angles. Several mechanical adjustment must be made for each different type of pouch.

Pouch transport
The pouches are transported in the machine by two timing belts. The upper belt are counter rotating in relation to the lower two belt. The upper belt are pressed on top of the lower belt by springs, these springs create enough force to clamp the pouch between the belts. Therefore the pouches can be moved by the belts throughout the machine.

Cutter
The cutter is the first station after pouch in-feed. The cutter cuts off the top of the pouch, therefore a opening for the spout is created. When a pouch already has a opening the cutter don’t have to cut.
Several mechanical adjustment must be made for each different type of pouch.

Pouch-opener
The pouch-opener contains two vacuum cups mounted on a pair of cylinders. The opener is mounted on a sliding unit, and opens the pouch during pouch transport.

Spout feeder
The spout feeder is positioned in front of the machine. The spout feeder feeds the spouts to the spout inserter. A bowlfeeder and a vibrating conveyer transports the spouts to the separator.
The separator presents the spout towards the spout inserter.

Spout inserter
The spout inserter places the spout into the pouch and shortly seals the spout (a preseal).
The spout feeder feeds the spouts, where the separator presents the spout towards the inserter. A gripper crabs a single spout and turns towards the pouch.
The pouch is held open by two vacuum cylinders. When fully open the spout is place inside the pouch. A short seal after placement ensures proper placement of the spout.

Seal stations
The heated seal stations are positioned after the spout inserter. The positions are fixed and cannot be changed. The spouted pouch is transported by the belts where it is seal three times.
The pneumatically operated seal bars provide the seal. The temperature and time of the seal bars can be adjusted by means of the control panel.

Cool station
The position of the cool station is fixed and cannot be changed. This cool application presses the seal of the spouted pouch and cools it in order to achieve optimal seal properties.
The time of the cooling bars can be adjusted by means of the control panel

Inspection station
At this station the spouted pouch is placed beneath a inspection camera. The system inspects the spouted pouch on correct spout placement.
The following inspections are made:
• The perpendicular alignment of the spout in relation to the pouch.
• The depth of the placed spout inside the pouch.
The control panel of the inspection system is placed next to the camera. The inspection parameters can be adjusted by means of this control panel.

Ejection takes place directly into a bin, with a trap door to ensure that only “OK inspection” items are in the bin.
The automation part of the system has been revised, with the addition of a dedicated PLC to replace management by the HMI's automation functions.
