Abstract

The invention relates to an advancing device (10) for advancing a film web (200) in a bag filling installation (100, having a main advancing drive (20) with at least one driven main advancing roller (22) for advancing the film web (200), wherein for an adjustment of the tensile stress of the film web (200) in the transport direction (T) of the film web (200) an auxiliary advancing drive (30) is disposed before the main advancing drive (20) with at least one driven auxiliary advancing roller (32) for advancing the film web (200).

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A advancing device in a bag filling installation for advancing a film web, comprising a main advancing drive with at least one driven main advancing roller for advancing the film web, wherein for an adjustment of the tensile stress of the film web in the transport direction (T) of the film web an auxiliary advancing drive is disposed before the main advancing drive and spaced apart from the main advancing drive, the auxiliary advancing drive having at least one driven auxiliary advancing roller for advancing the film web,
wherein at least one of the main advancing drive or the auxiliary advancing drive have at least one freely rotatable film roller and wherein the freely rotatable film roller is disposed in such a way that an S-shaped loop (S) of the film web forms along the transport direction (T) of the film web between the freely rotatable film roller and the auxiliary advancing roller and/or between the freely rotatable film roller and the main advancing roller
wherein the S-shaped loop (S) of the film web is in abutment with the freely rotatable film roller and the auxiliary advancing roller and/or with the freely rotatable film roller
and the main advancing roller
wherein a total looping angle of the film web for the auxiliary advancing roller
and/or for the main advancing roller arid/or for the freely rotatable film roller at least 180°, wherein
an electronic coupling device is connected in a signal communicating manner to the auxiliary advancing drive of the auxiliary advancing roller and the main advancing drive of the main advancing roller for a setting of a respective advancing speed to be carried out electronically.

2. The advancing device according to claim 1 , wherein the main advancing drive is driven at a different advancing speed from the auxiliary advancing drive.

3. The advancing device of claim 2 wherein the main advancing drive is driven at a higher advancing speed than the auxiliary advancing drive.

4. The advancing device according to claim 1 , wherein the main advancing drive and the auxiliary advancing drive are operated so that they are correlated with one another on a common cycle.

5. The advancing device of claim 4 wherein the main advancing drive and the auxiliary advancing drive are operated so that they are correlated with one another synchronously in the common cycle.

6. The advancing device according to claim 1 , wherein the main advancing drive and/or the auxiliary advancing drive have a pressing device for generating a pressing force between the film web and the main advancing roller and/or the auxiliary advancing roller.

7. A bag filling installation for filling bags with bulk material, having an advancing device for advancing a film web, wherein the advancing device has the features of claim 1 .

8. A method for the adjustment of a tensile stress of a film web in a bag filling installation, with the advancing device of claim 1 , comprising the following steps:
predetermination of a tensile stress for the tensile stress on the film web,
synchronous, advancing of the film web correlated with a main advancing drive and an auxiliary advancing drive disposed in the transport direction (T) of the film web before the main advancing drive while maintaining the predetermined tensile stress value.

9. The advancing device according to claim 1 wherein a total looping angle of the film web for each S-shaped loop (S) at least 180° which provides an abutment between the main advancing drive and the auxiliary advancing drive.

10. The advancing device according to claim 1 wherein each of the main advancing drive and the auxiliary advancing drive have the freely rotatable film roller and wherein at least one of the freely rotatable film rollers is disposed in such a way that the S-shaped loop (S) of the film web forms along the transport direction (T) of the film web between the freely rotatable film roller and the auxiliary advancing roller and/or between the freely rotatable film roller and the main advancing roller.

11. The advancing device according to claim 1 wherein the electronic coupling device is configured as a control device.

12. An advancing device in a bag filling installation for advancing a film web comprising a main advancing drive with at least one driven main advancing roller for advancing the film web, wherein for an adjustment of the tensile stress of the film web in the transport direction (T) of the film web an auxiliary advancing drive is disposed before the main advancing drive and spaced apart from the main advancing drive, the auxiliary advancing drive having at least one driven auxiliary advancing roller for advancing the film web,
wherein at least one of the main advancing drive or the auxiliary advancing drive have at least one freely rotatable film roller and wherein the auxiliary advancing drive is disposed upstream of the main advancing drive and simultaneously downstream of a buffer device and,
wherein the freely rotatable film roller is disposed in such a way that an S-shaped loop (S) of the film web forms along the transport direction (T) of the film web between the freely rotatable film roller and the auxiliary advancing roller and/or between the freely rotatable film roller and the main advancing roller, wherein the S-shaped loop (S) of the film web is in abutment with the freely rotatable film roller and the auxiliary advancing roller and/or with the freely rotatable film roller and the main advancing roller, wherein a total looping angle of the film web is at least 180°,
wherein an electronic coupling device is connected in a signal communicating manner to the auxiliary advancing drive of the auxiliary advancing roller and the main advancing drive of the main advancing roller for a setting of a respective advancing speed to be carried out electronically.
