Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and a device for the internal cleaning of barrels, in particular beer barrels, with a barrel fitting remaining in the barrel bottom with a riser pipe projecting into the barrel and automatically closing valves for through-openings, the barrel via the barrel fitting to liquid and compressed gas supply lines or Leads are connected and a cleaning liquid is introduced into the barrel.
- the invention relates to DE-PS 1 907 416, in which a method and a device for cleaning the inside of beer kegs, namely the so-called KEG kegs, are described.
- the washing process takes place from below via the riser pipe, ie. that is, the cleaning liquid exits under pressure through the supply line above the riser pipe and runs gently down the sides of the barrel inner wall after it has previously been deflected by the bottom shape of the barrel, the so-called cup, which is designed in terms of flow technology.
- the cleaning liquid falling off on the barrel wall then exits the barrel interior through the pressurized gas paths and reaches the discharge line.
- a method and a device are also protected, in which an improved cleaning of the riser pipe and barrel fitting housing is sought.
- the cleaning liquid is redirected alternately during the cleaning process in an additional operation, which follows the conventional internal cleaning process, such that the liquid on the one hand flows through the riser pipe and on the other hand through the compressed gas valve. After the liquid has escaped from the fitting's compressed gas opening, it inevitably continues to run on the riser pipe, which is intended to flush the outside.
- the invention has for its object to provide a method and a device for cleaning the inside of barrels or the like.
- a method and a device for cleaning the inside of barrels or the like In particular of beer barrels of the type mentioned, which enable reliable cleaning of the barrel in a simple manner and in the shortest possible time.
- the method according to the invention provides that the cleaning liquid is set in a swirling motion from below by blowing in a gaseous or vaporous medium, the barrel for maintaining a pressure difference during blowing. of the gaseous or vaporous medium is vented. It has proven to be particularly advantageous if the internal cleaning is carried out in such a way that the liquid level in the barrel is increased in stages from bottom to top and the medium is blown in between these stages.
- blowing in of the medium can run in parallel with the input of the cleaning liquid.
- An increase in the cleaning effect can be achieved insofar as the gaseous or vaporous medium is blown in intermittently and additionally under increased pressure.
- a further process step is characterized in that, in the case of a barrel with the barrel fitting remaining in the barrel bottom, down with Directional connecting piece, the cleaning liquid is supplied via the riser pipe and that the gaseous or vaporous medium is blown in via the compressed gas valve and the supply line for the cleaning liquid serves as a return air line.
- a liquid can also be used instead of the gaseous or vaporous medium.
- the device for carrying out the method is based on a cleaning head for connection to the drum fitting with through openings which are connected to liquid and compressed gas supply lines or discharge lines, and is characterized by check valves in the supply lines or discharge lines, which are connected via a program circuit can be controlled alternately in such a way that the barrel is filled in stages from the bottom up and the gaseous or vaporous medium is blown in between these filling stages, and through a return air line branching off from the supply line for the liquid between the cleaning head and the shut-off valve, with a while blowing in of the gaseous or vaporous medium opening further check valve.
- a last feature of the invention is characterized by a valve arranged in the feed line, which releases and blocks the compressed gas supply at short intervals.
- a KEG barrel 1 with a barrel fitting 2 screwed into the barrel bottom is in a position coupled to a cleaning head 3 for its internal cleaning with the head pointing downward.
- the barrel fitting 2 is essentially formed from the fitting housing or cage and from a riser pipe which can be moved in the axial direction and protrudes into the barrel and is designed as an automatically closing valve with through-openings for the cleaning liquid and for the compressed gas. With these openings, when connecting and actuating the barrel fitting, through-openings of the cleaning head are in a conductive connection and these in turn are connected to a supply line 4 for the cleaning liquid and to a supply line 5 for the compressed gas.
- the passages in the drum fitting are released via an actuating plunger 6 of the cleaning head 3 by lifting the riser pipe and the inner valve body from their valve seats.
- the cleaning liquid can now flow from the feed line 4 through the tappet 6 and the riser pipe into the barrel, while the compressed gas coming from the feed line 5 runs past the tappet and emerges from the valve housing in the lower barrel area.
- the compressed gas line serves as a finer return line for the liquid.
- the cleaning process begins with the introduction of cleaning liquid into the barrel via the riser pipe, conveyed from the tank 7 via the pump 8. After reaching a first liquid level shown in FIG. 1, the pump switches off and a shut-off valve 10 closes the feed line 4 At the same time as filling up, the inside of the riser pipe is cleaned.
- Air is blown from below into the cleaning liquid in the barrel from a compressed air source 9 via the feed line 5 and the through-opening for the gas, causing it to start flowing and the cleaning process to begin.
- the termination of the blowing process after a preset period of time is carried out by switching off the compressed air source and by blocking the feed line 5 via a shut-off valve 11.
- the return air can escape into the tank 7 via the riser pipe and the feed line 4 and via a return air line 12 branching off between the cleaning head 3 and valve 10 with a shut-off valve 13 .
- the invention does not prescribe overhead cleaning, but also allows the method to be used on drums with an upwardly directed barrel neck. It is obvious that here the flow paths have to be exchanged, i. that is, the compressed air would also have to be supplied from below, but through the riser.
- An increase in the cleaning effect can also be achieved by intermittent blowing in conjunction with increased pressure of the air into the liquid, which can be carried out, for example, by appropriate activation of the check valve 11.
- pressurized gas instead of the pressurized gas, other pressurized fluids can of course also be used, such as a vaporous medium or a liquid, without leaving the field of the invention.
- the cleaning liquid is forced out of the barrel into line 14 and into tank 7 by redirecting the compressed air via line 16 with shut-off valve 17 and via the riser pipe through the pressure gas valve.
