SYSTEMS FOR PACKAGING STACKS OF BAGS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240025583 titled 'SYSTEMS FOR PACKAGING STACKS OF BAGS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a system for end-folding a wrapping onto a stack of bags using a folding machine with two folding stations. The first folding station receives the stack of bags with the wrapping partially covering it and end-folds some of the wrapping flaps onto the stack while leaving others unfolded. The second folding station receives the stack from the first station and further end-folds the remaining unfolded wrapping flaps onto the stack.

  • The system involves a folding machine with two folding stations.
  • The first folding station receives a stack of bags with partially covered wrapping.
  • The first folding station end-folds some of the wrapping flaps onto the stack while leaving others unfolded.
  • The second folding station receives the stack from the first station.
  • The second folding station further end-folds the remaining unfolded wrapping flaps onto the stack.

Potential Applications:

  • Packaging industry: This system can be used in industries that require efficient and precise folding of wrapping onto stacks of bags, such as food packaging, retail packaging, or shipping and logistics.

Problems Solved:

  • Manual labor reduction: The system automates the folding process, reducing the need for manual labor and increasing efficiency.
  • Consistency and accuracy: The machine ensures consistent and accurate folding of the wrapping onto the stack of bags, eliminating human errors.

Benefits:

  • Increased productivity: The automated system allows for faster folding of the wrapping onto the stack of bags, increasing overall productivity.
  • Cost savings: By reducing the need for manual labor, the system can lead to cost savings for businesses.
  • Improved quality control: The machine ensures consistent and accurate folding, resulting in higher quality packaging.
  • Time savings: The automated system saves time compared to manual folding methods, allowing businesses to meet tight production deadlines.


Original Abstract Submitted

a system for end-folding a wrapping onto a stack of bags includes a folding machine having a first folding station and a second folding station. the first folding station configured to receive the stack of bags with the wrapping partially covering the stack of bags and defining wrapping flaps, and is further configured to end-fold one or more of the wrapping flaps of the wrapping onto the stack of bags while leaving other flaps unfolded. the second folding station is downstream from the first folding station is configured to receive the stack of bags from the first folding station and further end-fold unfolded wrapping flaps of the wrapping onto the stack of bags.
