Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for carrying out a method for cleaning the inside of barrels, in particular beer barrels, with a barrel fitting remaining in the barrel bottom with a riser pipe protruding into the barrel and automatically closing valves for through-openings, the barrel being connected to liquid and compressed gas via the barrel fitting.
  • Supply lines or discharge lines are connected and a cleaning liquid is introduced into the barrel and this is caused to move upward by blowing in a gaseous or vaporous medium from below and the barrel is vented to maintain a pressure difference when blowing in the gaseous or vaporous medium with a cleaning head provided for connection to the drum fitting with through openings which are connected to liquid and compressed gas supply lines or departments.
  • the invention relates to DE-PS 1 907416, 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, i.e. the cleaning liquid exits under pressure through the feed pipe above the riser pipe and runs gently down the sides of the barrel after having previously passed through the fluidically designed bottom shape of the barrel, the so-called cup, is deflected.
  • the cleaning liquid falling off the barrel wall then emerges from the inside of the barrel through the pressurized gas paths and reaches the drains.
  • the efficiency of this cleaning process is known to depend on numerous factors, such as from the bottom and wall design of the barrel, from the distance of the riser pipe to the bottom of the barrel and in particular from the amount of water as well as from the water pressure, which ultimately meant that the desired cleaning and sterilizing effect was not always achieved.
  • DE-OS 2706590 a method and a device are also protected, in which an improved cleaning of the riser pipe and barrel fitting housing is aimed for.
  • 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 flows through the riser pipe on the one hand and the compressed gas valve on the other hand. After the liquid has escaped from the pressurized gas opening of the fitting, 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 device for performing a method of the type mentioned for the internal cleaning of barrels, in particular beer barrels, which enables reliable cleaning of the barrel in a simple manner and in the shortest possible time.
  • the device is characterized by shut-off valves in the supply lines or departments, which can be controlled alternately via a program circuit in such a way that the barrel is filled in stages from bottom to top and the gaseous or vaporous medium is blown in between these filling stages, and by one of the supply line between the cleaning head and the check valve branching return air line with a check valve opening during the blowing in of the gaseous or vaporous medium.
  • the device is characterized by a valve which is arranged in the feed line and which releases and blocks the compressed gas supply at short intervals.
  • the device according to the invention a significantly improved internal cleaning of barrels, in particular beer barrels, is shown, which absolutely ensures that the cleaning process progressing from the bottom up does not leave out any part of the container surfaces, including the outer surface of the riser pipe and fitting housing.
  • the drums can be cleaned reliably even with the heaviest degree of soiling as a result of the very intensive washing processes.
  • 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 interior 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 projects into the barrel and is designed as an automatically closing valve with through-openings for the cleaning liquid and for the compressed gas.
  • through openings of the cleaning head are in a conductive connection with these openings, 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 barrel fitting are released via an actuating tappet 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 plunger 6 and the riser pipe into the barrel, while the compressed gas coming from the feed line 5 runs past the push rod and emerges from the fitting housing in the lower barrel area.
  • the compressed gas line also serves as a 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. The interior of the riser pipe is cleaned at the same time as it is filled.
  • Air is blown into the cleaning liquid in the barrel from below by a compressed air source 9 via the feed line 5 and the through-opening for the gas, causing it to start moving and the cleaning process begins.
  • the blowing process is ended after a preset period of time 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 as well as via a return air line 12 branching off between the cleaning head 3 and valve 10 with a check valve 13 .
  • the invention does not prescribe overhead cleaning, but also permits use on drums with an upwardly directed nozzle. It is obvious that the flow paths have to be interchanged, i.e. the compressed air would also have to be supplied from below, but through the riser pipe.
  • An increase in the cleaning effect can also be achieved by intermittently blowing the air into the liquid, which can be carried out, for example, by correspondingly controlling the shut-off valve 11.
  • 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.
