Definitions

  • the P present invention relates to an aseptic filling process, cold, containers, in particular plastic or --bouteilles analogues-- by fruit or juice drinks, in particular based fruit juices.
  • fruit juice-based drinks (among others) must be packaged while being sterilized, to prevent bacteria, yeasts or molds from being introduced and developing. in containers intended for retail sale. When these are made of glass, or in any case of a heat-resistant material, this sterilization can be done on the containers already filled, without critical problem of asepsis.
  • the object of the present invention is to establish a process, that is to say a particular conditioning procedure, which makes it possible to fulfill the desired aseptic conditions, so that elements of sterilized liquid are not introduced fermentation at the time of filling, or through the empty containers themselves or their caps.
  • a method according to the invention provides for a whole set of measures, the main one of which consists essentially in filling and capping the containers in a sterile atmosphere in a closed room maintained at overpressure and supplied with filtered air. .
  • the filling and capping machine is placed in said room, under a vertical laminar flow hood provided with movable panels and closed on each of its ratings.
  • the work surface is swept by a uniform flow of filtered air moving from the top to the bottom, which eliminates any penetration of particles (dust and microorganisms) in the machine enclosure.
  • the speed of said flow is of the order of about 0.45 m / s and the purity of the air which constitutes it is such that it comprises less than 4,000 particles at 0.5 p per m 3 .
  • a process in accordance with the invention also provides for rigorous aseptic measures throughout the packaging chain, from the arrival of empty containers on the one hand, of their caps on the other hand, to the exit of the full and closed containers.
  • a machine known as "oatmeal” is used to inject into them, being in the "neck down” position, a disinfectant solution, then from which we return the bottles to the normal position, and we transfer them to the filling via a conveyor arranged under a tight cover.
  • the disinfected bottles are subjected to an emptying operation by turning them over to empty them from the rest of the disinfectant solution which they contain, after which they are returned to normal position to be transferred to the filling machine.
  • This arrangement will eliminate any traces of disinfectant from the bottles before filling them.
  • an additional provision of the present invention provides that they are first of all, in a separate room, disinfected by soaking in a disinfectant solution, then transferred, by a conveyor belt located under a waterproof cover. , up to a rotating bowl or the like, after which they are brought to the capping machine by a feed chute.
  • the reference 1 designates, as a whole, the main room (or airlock), in which most of the operations are carried out, and the reference 2 designates the room for processing the plugs. , as well as the preparation of the disinfectant solution.
  • a pre-airlock for access to airlock 1 is referenced in 3.
  • the airlock 1 is supplied with filtered air, as well as the room 2 and the pre-airlock 3, by connections, respectively 4.5 and 6, connected to a supply duct 7.
  • the empty bottles, made of synthetic material (PVC) are brought into an oatmeal machine 10 disposed at the entrance to the airlock 1, by a conveyor belt 11.
  • This oatmeal machine is provided with a cover 12 with air outlet 13.
  • a disinfectant solution is injected into the bottles, in the "neck down” position. This disinfectant solution will be used in other operations, as will appear below.
  • the bottles At the exit of the oatmeal machine 10, the bottles, returned to the "standing" position, still contain a certain amount of this disinfectant product.
  • the bottles then enter under a sealed cover 17 in which a pallet transport chain 19 circulates.
  • the drink to be introduced into the bottles is sterilized around 90 ° C in a plate exchanger, located outside the present installation and in which, moreover, the product is cooled with recovery of calories. , before being brought to the filling machine.
  • the filling machine 21 with a volumeter 22 comprises two filling carousels 23 and 24 each filling one bottle out of two.
  • the quantity of sterilized drink sent into each bottle is metered by a cam-operated pump.
  • the communication of each pump with the delivery (filling of the bottle) or suction (nochère) is ensured by a three-way plug, pumps and plugs being located under the filling plane of the machine.
  • the parts in contact with the air in the bushels and inside the volumeter pump cylinders are permanently disinfected by spray nozzles of the disinfectant indicated above.
  • the capper 26 automatically places the screw caps on the bottles, after which they are removed from the airlock 1 by a conveyor belt 27 passing under a window.
  • the assembly 21 is arranged under a hood with vertical and descending laminar flow, provided with movable panels and closed on each of its sides, at 28.
  • the stoppers are firstly disinfected by soaking in the disinfectant product mentioned above, contained in a tank 29. They are brought to a hopper 30, then on a fully covered carpet 31 by means of a lifting conveyor 32. This conveyor brings them to a rotating bowl 33 from which a descending chute 34 takes them up and finally brings them to the capping machine 26.
  • blowing nozzles of filtered compressed air (0.01 ⁇ ) allow the caps to dry before capping.
  • the disinfectant solution described in the foregoing may be used for daily spraying on the equipment, for disinfection after cleaning.
  • the pre-airlock 3 is of course used to prevent personnel entering room 1 from polluting it. We put on clean clothes, a mask and a headdress. Hands are washed there with a bactericidal soap and alcohol.
