"Faßfüllorgan with cladding tube and Diehtkegel as well as proceed for the operation of the Faßfüllorgan"

The invention relates to a barrel filling element with a rest position seen from a gate, in particular for changing passports to be driven out into a passport. Filling pipe and with the filling process the sealing function relative to the passport or to its flush hole taking over sealing cone. It also relates to a method for operating the passport filler. -

Used for pulling beer barrels, for example Devices is a disinfection mainly of the named components, namely the filling tube and the sealing cone, indispensable because these components in the working or filling position both with the filling material and - in the rest position - in contact with the polluted ambient air come. In previous pass-filling organs, therefore, the filling pipe and the sealing cone ia. the rest position two to three individual nozzles rigidly attached to the bypass sprayed with disinfectant solution. This is where the disinfectant solution but not fully distributed over the entire circumference. Another disadvantage is that the filling pipe, which is drawn in in the rest position and when changing passports and only extended again for filling, from the Rays from the rigidly attached. Nozzles in the wetting process, which is only possible in the rest position, only in a short area is detected. When the filling tube is extended into the passport to be filled, it does not dive either

disinfected part of the filling tube into the filling material, so that germs can possibly be transferred.

The invention is based on the object of an application device to create a disinfectant solution so on sealing cone in the rest position of the barrel filling device and filler tube is to be applied so that the sterility of these parts is guaranteed during the entire operating process will. The solution according to the invention is characterized for the above-mentioned Faßfüllorgan by a Filling tube at a distance surrounding the cladding tube with the annular space between the filling and cladding tube associated supply and Drain line for disinfectant solution. According to a further invention, the sealing cone is with the atomizer ring with a sufficient number of nozzles for applying a disinfectant to the cone.

As long as the annular gap between the filling tube and the cladding tube is filled with disinfectant solution, it is guaranteed that that the length of the filling tube coming into contact with the filling material is in contact with the disinfectant solution comes. Since the disinfectant solution in the annular gap is continuously exchanged through the inlet and outlet sufficient sterility can be ensured at all times. At the same time with this disinfection the sealing cone, which takes over the sealing function between the barrel and barrel filling element during the filling process, can also be supplied by one Disinfectant mixture, e.g. a mixture of • disinfectant solution and sterile air, with the help of the atomizer ring with any number of nozzle contacts on all sides are wetted.

On the basis of the schematic representation of an exemplary embodiment further details of the invention are explained. Show it:

1 shows a vertical longitudinal section through the head region a killing organ; and Pig. Figure 2 is a section along line A-B of Pig. 1.

. The Püllorgan according to the invention consists of the in one

Housing 1 - guided in a U-ring collar 2 - filling pipe 4 to be displaced in the direction of arrow 3, the head of which is covered in the drawing, but essentially has a valve for dispensing the filling material. At the lower end, the filling element is designed as a sealing cone 5, which is to be inserted in a sealing manner into the filling hole of the barrel, not shown, during operation. The Kutringmanschette 2 provided for guiding the filling pipe 4 is held in the housing 1 with the aid of a pressure screw 6. The pressure screw 6 receives a cladding tube 7 on its upper side in such a way that an annular space 8 is created between the filling tube 4 and the cladding tube 7. The lower end of the annular space 8 is ^{sealed on the inside between w} 20 of the pressure screw 6 and the U-ring collar 2 and on the outside with an O-ring 9. The annular space 8 has an inlet 10 and an outlet 11 for the disinfectant solution 12.

In the exemplary embodiment described so far, the filling pipe 4, also referred to as a sword, is above the U-ring collar 2 is constantly surrounded by disinfectant solution when the annular space 8 is filled accordingly. To that too reach, the disinfectant solution 12 can each time when the filling member goes back into the rest position via the

Feed 10 can be renewed while the solution is used up 12 can flow away via the drain or overflow 11.

For example, simultaneously with the renewal of the disinfectant solution -12 on the outer surface of the filling pipe 4 in the area of the Annular space 8 can, according to a further invention, the sealing cone 5, the sealing function between the barrel or Faßloch on the one hand and the Faßfüllorgan on the other hand takes over from a mixture 13 of disinfectant solution 12 and Sterile air 14 with the help of an atomizer ring 15 with any many nozzle contacts 16 fully wetted on all sides will. In the barrel filling element according to the invention, the filling tube 4 and the sealing cone 5 are thus with the aid of a disinfecting solution 12 or a mixture 13 of disinfecting solution and sterile air 14 to be disinfected over the entire surface already in the rest position.
