DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
The invention relates to a palletising method with compressive strength reinforcement and to the device enabling this method to be carried out.
Known methods of palletising allow storage, transport and handling of batches of packed products stacked on one another.
It is therefore necessary to have packages whose compressive strength withstands the weight of all the products stacked thereabove. The compressive strength of each package is strongly associated with the quantity of raw material used which, most of the time, is cardboard made from a paper pulp or any other material. One purpose of the invention is to provide a method of palletising with compressive strength reinforcement which makes it possible to reduce the quantity of raw material necessary for manufacturing packages while maintaining an identical complete palletising load. It is also necessary that the packages located in the lower part of the loaded pallet do not collapse.
According to the invention, this purpose is attained by a palletising method with compressive strength reinforcement, which comprises the following steps of: of total height H1, passing right through the package over the height of the package, the hole issuing from at least one lower perforation, the height H2 of the packages, the posts being able to be inserted at least in certain of the holes, constituting a lower package assembly, so that the holes are aligned and with the result that the height of the lower package assembly is equal to the height H3 of the posts, assembly which may serve as guide for the posts, with the result that the posts are vertical, result that the plate rests on the upper end of the posts, and packages constituting an upper package assembly.
It is advantageously provided that the packages are rectangular parallelepipeds and that four posts are inserted in holes located in the corner zones of the lower package assembly.
Thanks to this method, the vertical compressive strength of an assembly of packages stacked in the lower part of a loaded pallet is reinforced in simple manner.
According to an advantageous characteristic, all the packages comprise a plurality of holes: certain of these holes can serve as guide for the posts, while the other holes serve for ventilation of the stacked packages and the intermediate plate is perforated with the result that hollowed parts of the plate are at least partially opposite the holes serving for ventilation of the packages.
Thus, a ventilation of the interior of the packages is possible as the air may circulate via the ventilation holes which form therebetween vertical ventilation chimneys. This is sometimes indispensable when the products transported are perishable foodstuffs such as fresh produce such as cheese.
In the case of transporting certain perishable products, the packages used up to the present time are already perforated with a view to the ventilation indispensable for good preservation of these products. It is in that case easy to apply the palletising method according to the invention. The structure and the arrangement on the pallet of these packages is conserved, while reducing their composition: less raw material is used for the packages without modifying the total load which may be palletised nor the useful volume available for the product in the package.
Another purpose of the invention is to produce a palletising device which presents the advantages mentioned hereinabove.
This other object is realized thanks to a palletising device for the stacking of packages of height H2 comprising holes passing right through the packages in vertical direction, each of the holes issuing at least from a lower perforation, where there is provided: assembly of the stacked packages, the height H2 of the packages and intended to be placed vertically in holes which may serve as guide, with the result that their upper end is at the level of the upper edge of the vertical walls of the packages which contain the upper terminal part of the posts, and
According to an advantageous characteristic, the height H3 of the
