Description

The invention relates to a packaging and / or transport unit for plate-shaped Insulating elements, in particular large-sized roof insulation panels, preferably from mineral fibers, in particular from rock wool, consisting of at least one, preferably two mutually spaced support bodies and a plate stack of individual pieces arranged on the support bodies Insulating elements, wherein a film at least the plate stack at least surrounds part of the area. The invention further relates to a transport container for the handling of packaging and / or transport units for plate-shaped Insulating elements, in particular large-sized roof insulation panels, preferably of mineral fibers, in particular rockwool, consisting of at least one, preferably two mutually spaced support bodies and a plate stack of individual pieces arranged on the support bodies Insulating elements, wherein a film at least the plate stack at least surrounds part of the area. Finally, the invention relates to a method for transport of packaging and / or transport units for plate-shaped insulating elements, in particular large-sized roof insulation panels, preferably of mineral fibers, in particular of rock wool, consisting of at least one, preferably two mutually spaced support bodies and a arranged on the support bodies plate stack of individual insulating elements, wherein a film at least the plate stack at least part of the surface surrounds.

Insulating materials are widely used in buildings and facilities. Alone The sales of mineral wool insulation material reaches the annual level in Germany Magnitude of about 15 to 20 million cubic meters. Insulation materials are light, voluminous and despite high benefits inexpensive goods. Because of the large space requirements with comparatively little added value, trading companies limit the provision of insulation materials to a minimum. The manufacturers of Insulation materials therefore have a favorable logistics for the direct delivery of Insulating materials developed on construction sites, produced on demand and in the Name and on account of the trading company the insulation materials on schedule delivered directly to the construction site for the benefit of a processing company become. The insulating materials are used in packaging and / or transport units provided, which are packages or packages of several packages with Insulation elements, such as insulation boards or Dämmfilz roles is therefore no longer individually in the hold of a transport vehicle be stacked. Although can be with the single arrangement of the insulating elements achieve a largely optimal utilization of the loading volume, but this advantage is made economical by the labor-intensive loading and unloading of the transport vehicle. The summarization of the insulation elements to palletized packaging and / or transport units a fast and economical loading and unloading of the transport vehicles.

The unloading conditions on construction sites or even in commercial enterprises are often not as cheap as a manufacturer, the shipping of a individual product type can optimize.

To reduce labor costs, companies processing e.g. Flat roof waterproofing produce, preferably large format and thus relatively heavy Roof insulation panels for special packaging and / or transport units be compiled.

Because in the logistics chain several companies with very different technical Level and corresponding differing economic interests It is mainly for the manufacturer of the insulation elements for various reasons of particular interest, the cost of the Distribution of the insulation elements to the end user as low as possible or to participate in the possible value creation.

Roof insulation panels made of mineral fibers have densities of about 100 to 200 kg / m ³ . There are also known roof insulation panels, which in a surface zone with about 180 to 220 kg / m ^{3 have} a significantly higher density than underlying arranged areas of the roof insulation panels. The highly compressed surface zone is intended to increase the rigidity of the roof insulation panels when walking. These roof insulation panels usually have thicknesses of about 30 to about 160 kg / m ³ . In a standard format of, for example, 1000 mm in length and 600 mm in width, the roof insulation panels are packed together by shrink-film wraps into packages of about 20 kg in weight and thicknesses of about 20 to 40 cm. Such packages are mostly shipped individually or stacked on wooden pallets.

Large-format roof insulation panels, for example, with the dimensions 2 m long and 1.2 m wide and initially stacked. Such a Plate stack forms the basis for a packaging and / or transport unit. An already proven in practice packaging and / or transport unit is described in DE 92 183 20 U1. The plate stack is resting here on at least two support bodies, preferably of the same material as the roof insulation panels, the plate stack and the roof insulation panels in total is wrapped with a plastic film. The support bodies allow underride the packaging and transport unit with pallet truck or fork-like Lifting device of forklifts.

The envelope consists of stretch films, preferably made of polyethylene. The foil is in particular in the area of the support body several times around the plate stack wrapped for greater transport safety. Show stretch film a good cohesion between the individual film layers. Due to the dimensions the roof insulation panels, the relatively high weight of the individual Roof insulation panels and the resulting friction forces the plate stack Overall, already has a high internal stiffness and behaves in the essentially as a homogeneous block of mineral fibers. Cheap also affects from that the roof insulation panels on a production line across from the first be separated endless fiber web. The roof insulation panels thus have in the longitudinal direction, which is thus transverse to the original production direction, a much higher internal stiffness and bending tensile strength than in the Direction of the plate width.

A packaging and / or transport unit of such roof insulation panels thus indicates at an average height of the disk stack of 1.2 m Total weight of about 500 kg and is without corresponding transport equipment, such as cranes, forklifts or the like not manageable.

In order not to overload the insulation elements locally, length and width the support body dimensioned so that neither the insulating elements nor the Pad body overloaded and thus damaged. The usually about 400 mm wide support bodies are arranged over the entire width of the plate stack. The, for example, two meters long roof insulation panels collar both ends about 150 mm, but preferably 200 mm above; in the middle remains about 800 mm wide gap.

The packaging and / or transport units are used by the manufacturer for the Transport or storage at the manufacturer or on the site compiled. Transportation to the construction site or to a warehouse of a manufacturing Company or a trading company is mostly done by truck. Because of the greater flexibility are predominantly trucks used with overplated flatbeds or überplante interchangeable beds. The packaging and / or transport units are using forklifts of both Sides mounted on the bed of the truck or a trailer, in each case not more than two packaging and / or transport units be arranged one above the other. Already at the loading the tarpaulins have to unfolded on both sides of the truck and / or the trailer become. For this purpose, the numerous lateral brackets of the Over-planning opened and half of the tarp with the help of boards or the like folded up and stored on the scaffold.

The same process occurs in reverse order in the warehouse of a trading company or on a construction site. Is there the transport of the transport unit with the help of tower cranes directly on the roof surface, the tarpaulin must largely be removed. Otherwise the transport units will be transported by means of forklift trucks unloaded and stored. In both cases, the discharge process delayed and thus more expensive.

To a concentration of loads in the catchment area of the crane and thus possible Deformations of flexible roof shells made of profile sheets, for example to avoid, the packaging and / or transport units are promptly distributed on a supporting roof shell. Serve with multi-axle trucks, the can be easily moved on roof shells even under load.

Such favorable circumstances are but rarely encountered on construction sites. Because of often simultaneously working on a building to be built works and the material deliveries triggered by them regularly encounter bottlenecks in the use of existing crane capacities. The delivered insulation elements must therefore be stored temporarily. Same situation results naturally, when cranes to transport the insulating elements only temporarily be placed and larger amounts of insulating elements in one Train to be lifted on the roof surface. For this purpose, the Packing and / or transport units with the help of normal forklifts from the Cargo bed of the truck and / or the trailer lifted. The usual Fork width is outside about 0.6 m. Each fork is approx. 1.4 m long and only approx. 0.10 m wide. The usual material thickness is in the range of approx. 40 mm.

The fork is driven in the middle of the plate stack, although that often uneven terrain in the construction site area is not always possible, so the cladding together with the support body possible damage by the forks of the Hubstaplers is exposed. These damages affect the intended subsequent use of the support body as insulating material to be processed. Furthermore, in the careless driving under close behind or next to each other Packing and / or transport units parked on the bed of the truck and during subsequent lifting of the packaging and / or Transport unit damages the adjacent packing and / or transport unit become.

The specific loads of the bottom of the plate stack insulation element The forks are often too large for high weight insulation elements and regularly leads to damage to the insulation elements in the area of Fork documents. These areas are then so damaged that they become deficient Insulating results and from the large-sized insulation elements, in particular roof insulation panels must be separated. In handling The packaging and transport units with cranes are regularly the same non-material-compatible stop technique used. The plate stacks are lifted, for example, with crane hooks, as they are for the transport of Wooden pallets are common. Again, the specific footprint for the im Compared to boards or boards made of wood-based materials much more deformable Insulation elements far too small. Further damage the insulating elements is by lifting the plate stack with ropes or narrow straps.

When handling the packaging and / or transport unit with a lift truck The fork should be placed in the middle of the plate stack. hereby Be the arranged in the plate stack insulation elements considerably stressed on bending, with the upper zones of the insulating elements on Train are claimed. In a frontal lifting for transporting the Plate stack on the roof surface, however, moves the tension zone down. These strong stresses in changing direction, as well as the Transport of the packaging and / or transport unit occurring dynamic Forces are in the design of the envelope or the arrangement of the insulating elements to take into account.

Starting from this prior art, the invention has for its object to provide a packaging and / or transport unit and / or a transport container and / or a method of transportation of these packaging and / or transport unit, a high in the or in which Stability are given both during transport and in handling on a construction site and at the same time a more economic, since cost-effective transport is possible.

The solution of this problem provides for a packaging and transport unit according to the invention, that the film completely covers at least one free surface of the top of the plate stack insulation element and that the film is formed at one end in the longitudinal direction of the plate stack in dependence of the loads occurring during transport multilayer while the film in the remaining areas is arranged in one layer with overlapping sections. On the part of a transport package according to the invention is provided to solve the task that several packaging and / or transport units are combined and surrounded with a film and arranged on at least one support body. Finally, in order to solve the problem in a method according to the invention, it is provided that the transport and / or packaging units formed with a film covering at least one free surface of the topmost insulating element in the plate stack are arranged on an open transport vehicle in such a way that they extend longitudinally at one end the sheet stack is aligned in the direction of travel as a function of the loads occurring during transport loads multilayer, while the film is arranged in the remaining areas in one layer with overlapping sections.

Further features and advantageous developments of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims and from the following description of the advantages the individual further education characteristics.

According to the invention, the packaging and / or transport unit is designed in such a way that that packaging materials are reduced and the packaging and / or Transport unit nevertheless on open vehicles, in particular open lorries, preferably be transported on so-called flatbed can. The open vehicles include trucks, suitable for Swap bodies, the corresponding trailers and open railway cars. Due to the possibility of open vehicles for the transport of the inventive Be able to use packaging and / or transport units are short Loading and unloading times and thus shorter transport times or storage times achieved before processing the insulating elements. Thus, this is Also a protection against the weather, especially against rain of lesser Meaning, so that the packaging materials, especially the Plate stack surrounding foil now essentially to the requirements be aligned with the strength of the packaging and / or transport unit can.

When using these open vehicles, the loading and unloading process significantly accelerated, in particular, construction site without significant Temporal differences can be resorted to on either forklifts or cranes can. Furthermore, the waiting period in the manufacturing plants between production and shipping the insulation boards significantly shortened or completely lifted up a cooling of the recurring hot glass or coke pieces in the insulation elements no longer needs to be maintained. By this means Glass or Köksstücke, because of the excellent insulating effect in the plates or in the stack autoxidation reactions of the finely divided organic binder and the impregnating agent could possibly have packaging materials and subsequently the closed truck attachment caught fire. On open Transport vehicles cool the wind at least the surfaces of the Plate stack so far from that no burn-through to the surface of the insulating elements he follows.

For large-sized insulation boards made of rock wool, for example, with the dimensions 2 m in length and 0.6 to 1.2 m in width only a minimum of packaging materials needed. There are preferably stretch films made of polyethylene with thicknesses of about 20 to 30 microns for the wrapping of the plate stack and the support body used. The number of wraps and the degree of Overlapping of the film arranged in individual webs takes place selectively the degree of stress at the respective points of the packaging and / or Transport unit.

For example, the wrapping begins near an end face of the packaging and / or transport unit. A usually about 500 mm wide stretch film First of all, it will be stacked near this end face at least once wound. Due to the train applied to the film, this sets in a circumferential 3 to 12 cm wide strips around the face. On the other Side of the web, the support body with at least one film web so far detects that the support body still sits tight even if an injury the film is present through a fork of a lift truck. The following wound Sheets of film are overlapped by about 5 to 15 cm around the plate stack wound. One end of the plate stack is under partial detection of Support body with at least 3 layers of film preferably wrapped so that the individual layers of the film on the front side of the plate stack from the inside are set back to the outside at least in large parts. This is the lie Ends the slides firmly on each other and not hollow.

The insulation elements have within the permissible by the DIN 18165 Part 1 Limits deviations from the nominal width. There are also small ones Deviations when stacking the insulation elements. Between the taut Foil and the individual insulation elements arise cavities, through which the wind can flow. This air flow in the form of a film Enclosure is in principle advantageous to the side surfaces of the insulating elements to cool. The disadvantage, however, is that the air flow in case of incorrect arrangement the packaging and / or transport units on the open transport vehicle can also grip under the individual film webs, causing the film can be damaged. However, the incoming air generally produces at certain Make a negative pressure, which in case of insufficient tension of the film too Fluttering movements of the cladding can lead.

In order to avoid possible damage to the enclosure by doing so, at least an adhesive tape is passed horizontally around the wrapper. In addition, you can additional adhesive tapes in the vertical direction in each case around the ends of the plate stack or be placed in the area of the support body to complete tearing to prevent the film.

As a cost-effective alternative, wider bands are suitable, for example Polyethylene shrink films. The additional arrangement of such bands or Foil strip is often required if due to improper stacking packaging and / or transport units damage the shells become. At least one clearly colored and visible or marked Adhesive tape can be used to adjust the center or center of gravity of the Packaging and / or transport unit according to the invention for a proper To indicate handling. Preferably, this tape is centered between arranged the support bodies. The mark serves a driver of a forklift truck as close as possible to the center of the packaging and / or transport unit, with the large tensile and / or bending loads of the insulating elements should be avoided. Instead of an adhesive tape can also be machine-readable Markings, such as bar codes, metal foils, light reflection foils, Plaques or the like find use. In addition, two can be provided spaced apart markings, the one Define space for the hoist arrangement.

So that the wind does not reach under the individual film webs and the wrapping tearing up the packaging and / or transport units against the winding direction, ie with the most wrapped end in Direction of travel on the open transport vehicles parked. To the desired Orientation on the loading area are the packaging and / or Transport units and / or the insulating elements or the plate stack with Marked formed, for example, the shape laterally burned or with colors of sprayed arrow marks. These marks can also be printed on the horizontal adhesive tapes. As further mark carrier are labels or other stickers or prints on the used Slides possible.

The markings are preferably at different heights of the plate stack attached to make it recognizable to a forklift driver from any position.

A windproof cladding can be done with polyethylene foils which are either flat, or are formed at least in an edge region with a pressure-sensitive adhesive. Much more stable sheaths of particularly unstable insulation stacks are to be formed with polythene foils composed of several layers, which cold weld together in the contact area. Such, for example 50 μm thick film is offered under the ACUPLAN 1000 brand. This film has an excellent thermoforming behavior with a relatively high elasticity on, so that the film during movements of the packaging and / or Transport unit can hardly be pierced.

The packaging and / or transport units according to the invention can also from insulating elements with low material thicknesses of, for example, less be built up as 6 cm. In accordance with heavy packaging and / or Transport units has a multi-axle transport especially on roofs Pallet truck reinforced. These pallet trucks are equipped with rollers and can be moved even under load on the profile sheets of a roof shell. For example, to transport a packaging and / or transport unit two pallet trucks each attached to the front sides and the packaging or transport unit raised with the lift truck, resulting in a Deflection of the arranged in the plate stack insulation elements in their Middle results. In particular, the lowest insulation element is very strong stressed on bending, making it in some cases a breach of the lowest Insulating element comes. To damage or destroy the im Plate stack to avoid arranged below Dämmstoffelemente is provided that several thin insulating elements with a combined Minimum thickness of about 8 to 20 cm before stacking the other insulation elements be summarized in the middle with a tensile band. These Design is particularly advantageous in such insulation elements, in which orientates the fibers in a steep bearing to the large surfaces are and whose thickness is very low.

Such packaging and / or transport units are then also for large format Insulating elements, such as sandwich wall and / or Ceiling elements or, for example, suitable for inserts for fire doors. In these insulating elements, the fibers are regularly in steeper to more vertical Storage arranged to the large surfaces, so that these insulation elements Although very high pressure and sufficient shear strengths, but have only low bending tensile strengths and therefore in handling in a packaging and / or transport unit according to the invention so far were manageable only if the plate stack wrapped more strongly, i. With provided a plurality of windings and optionally also horizontally umkländert non-positively.

When using suitable stacking techniques can also be made of insulation boards with the standard dimensions of z. B. 1000 mm in length and 600 mm in width Form packaging and / or transport units according to the invention. hereby eliminates the tedious and costly discharge and the transport of individual Packages and / or the collection and disposal of heavy wooden pallets. It contributes the processor known the cost of repatriation to a collective container and the manufacturer in addition to the production costs and the disposal costs.

To avoid additional packaging materials should be the required stability the plate stack can be achieved by the insulating elements. In the simplest Case, the packaging and / or transport unit consists of one Support bodies resting base plate, which consists of a large format Insulating board is formed, which approximately or identically the dimensions of four Having to be arranged in a layer insulation boards. An alternative embodiment sees two base plates of twice the length with the same width stacking plates.

In the first example, four insulation boards form one layer. The insulation boards of one layer are pressed close to each other during stacking to movements in the plate stack to avoid or at least minimize. The same applies when piling up of insulation boards of other dimensions, such as in Gefälledämmplatten or elements.

To increase the stability of the packaging and / or transport units and to relieve the envelope, the support bodies can be closer to the area the center of gravity of the packaging and / or transport unit staggered be. The support bodies preferably have half the width of Insulation boards on. If by reducing the footprint the danger there is greater deformation of the insulating elements or the support body, the support bodies are made of highly compressed strips of insulation boards, in particular formed from mineral wool slats made of rock wool.

To provide the necessary tensile strength at the top of the plate stack, are in accordance with a lower large-sized insulating element corresponding insulation elements at the upper end of the plate stack intended. Alternatively, cover layers of cardboard, foils, for example et al be used. In order to obtain the necessary adhesion, should These cover layers are guided around the edges of the uppermost insulating element.

The plate stack becomes at least three times with the foil in its middle area wrapped or by an additionally frictionally shrunk band tear resistant fabrics, such as nonwoven webs of plastic fibers, e.g. made of polypropylene fibers, or from several layers frictionally interconnected Polyäthylenfolien held together. Also, this is already the above called film ACUPLAN 1000.

A further improvement in the stability of the packaging and / or transport unit is achieved in particular in the middle range, that an additional, preferably narrow support body is provided.

The internal stability of the plate stack can be increased by the Insulating boards circumferentially formed with a stepped rabbet and pushed into each other are. The same stability-enhancing effect is achieved when the individual Lay the insulation elements in the direction of one or both horizontal axes are arranged displaced relative to an adjacent position. in this connection displacements of only about 1 cm to about 5 cm, preferably 2 to 3 cm are sufficient to achieve a significant improvement in stability. The plate stack from the small-sized insulation boards then dominates the outer surfaces the base and cover plate, due to the small shift result but no serious disadvantages.
