Background technology
Gassiness, the non-gassiness product of pop can packing, with the advantage of its salubrious mouthfeel, preservation easily, convenient transportation and environmental protection etc., from last century early eighties land the China's Mainland.And Chinese article one pop can packaging production line 1984 after Guangdong San Shui goes into operation, the pop can packaging facilities is just brought into use throughout the country.According to statistics, domestic pop can packaging facilities manufacturer, basically concentrate on Zhejiang, Jiangsu one band, the technology of continuing to use is that beginning of the eighties country is when introducing Italian equipment basically, the technology that large-scale state-run light machine factory of several families of the subordinate of China National Light Industrial Products Department is distributed, apart from modern existing nearly 30 years history, still there is not great change.The core technology of bottle placer is the structure and the process application of filling valve.Traditional filling valve technology is pure mechanical valve, and there is following shortcoming in this mechanical valve:
1, self-cleaning ability:
Owing to being waits the mechanical valve that presses off the valve principle, valve spring is installed out in the main body of filling valve, directly contact with material; Mechanical component in the material cylinder is many simultaneously, and these factors have all caused the corner or spot as yet untouched by a clean-up campaign in the filling valve many, are difficult to it is thoroughly cleaned.Such filling valve, to the quality of product, the influence of shelf-life and mouthfeel is all bigger, for draft beer, aseptic cold packaged beverage, fruit juice, is receptible anything but particularly.
2, poor controllability:
Mechanical valve belongs to pure mechanical control.The filling process program relies on exterior mechanical controll block to finish fully, and this just proposes higher requirement to the crudy and the selection of controll block.Simultaneously, because its filling process is a mono-, when changing material container in producer, process needs the long period to adjust.In addition, the output of product is determined that by the process time different material packages has the different process times, thereby need pack on same bottle placer the material that character differs bigger, and filling valve needs to change.
3, can amount error is big:
This kind filling valve is that the mode that relies on valve port float or material to stop up muffler automatically guarantees the relatively stable of liquid level, and the accuracy of bale capacity is determined by following three aspects like this: 1. the stability of float material and manufacture level are just; 2. the crudy of muffler and on-site installation personnel's smell of powder; 3. the manufacturing errors of pop-top can tank.
Also have kind of filling valve utilization to extend into the height that probe in the pop can is controlled liquid level, its control method is: when probe touches material, then the off switch valve makes material stop to enter into pop can, still, in pouring process, pop can is in motion, and the liquid level in the pop can produces fluctuation, therefore, the material portion that probe touches is accurate, thereby causes can amount error big.
In sum, this equal pressure filling valve or dead-weight list move valve, and above all or part of shortcoming is all arranged, and on fierce day by day beer, soft drink market, are not accepted by high-end product packing producer basically.
