Definitions

  • the invention relates to a filling device for pulverulent products, in particular for freeze-dried food, with a transport path for containers, dosing device and filling funnels which can be placed on the containers, the transport path having an inlet area with a transport belt, an adjoining filling zone and a removal belt, a large number of filling funnels connected to a continuously rotating chain conveyor and a screw conveyor synchronously operated with the chain conveyor is arranged in the inlet area of the transport track, the transport spirals of which hold the containers laterally, the containers being able to be carried along at a feed speed corresponding to the transport speed of the chain conveyor and in accordance with the distance between the outlet openings of the filling funnels are removable.
  • a filling device known from practice is designed with pneumatically lowerable filling funnels and works in cycles. Container wagons are mostly used as dosing devices. The filling speed is unsatisfactory, even if a plurality of containers are filled with a product quantity at the same time.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a generic filling device for powdered products with which an essentially dust-free filling is possible with a continuous flow of the containers.
  • the filling funnels in the forward run of the chain conveyor are guided close to one another above the transport path in the transport direction are that the path formed by the filling funnels and the transport path in the inlet area and in the area of the discharge belt are arranged obliquely to one another, the filling funnels being able to be introduced into the container with an outlet opening during continuous transport movement and finally executable that above the transport path in the area of the filling zone a belt weigher is arranged as a metering device, a continuous product flow being able to be applied to the containers being conveyed past at the transport speed.
  • the belt scale contains regulating and control technology devices which control the product flow in accordance with a predefinable setpoint. It is within the scope of the invention that the belt scale is connected to a controller that monitors the degree of filling in the containers and corrects the target value accordingly in the event of deviations. It is also within the scope of the invention for the controller to couple the setpoint for the product flow to the transport speed of the chain conveyor and in this way establishes a synchronization.
  • the chain conveyor has a chain which is guided horizontally around bends and to which the filling funnels are connected on one side.
  • the transport path in the infeed area and in the area of the discharge belt is arranged obliquely by an infeed and outfeed angle.
  • a vibrator is expediently connected to the return run of the chain conveyor in order to vibrate the Clean funnel from adhering product residues. It is also advisable to design the transport path in the area of the filling zone as a vibration path designed with an unbalance drive.
  • the chain conveyor should finally also have a cover with a recess which exposes the filling funnels in the region of the filling zone.
  • the product feed and metering device arranged above the chain conveyor can represent at least part of the cover.
  • the filling device is expediently driven by a continuously variable central drive.
  • a switch can be connected downstream of the filling device, which can be actuated by a control and discharges the first, non-filled containers each time the machine is started up.
  • the filling device shown in the figures is intended for powdery products, in particular for freeze-dried foods.
  • the basic structure of the filling device includes a transport path 1 for containers 2, a metering device 3 and filling funnels 3 that can be placed on the containers 2.
  • the filling funnels 4 are connected to a continuously rotating chain conveyor 7 and are guided in the forward run 8 of the chain conveyor 7 close to one another above the transport path 1 in the transport direction.
  • the chain conveyor 7 is arranged horizontally in the exemplary embodiment and has a chain 10 guided around bends 9, to which the filling funnels 4 with connecting pieces 11 are connected on one side.
  • the filling funnels 4 are supported against each other in the forward run 8. It is understood that the chain conveyor can be driven by a motor drive unit, not shown.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 From a comparative view of FIGS. 1 and 2 it can be seen that a screw conveyor 12 operated synchronously with the chain conveyor 7 is arranged in the inlet region E of the transport track 1 in order to close the tightly arriving containers 2 to the distance a to be observed in the filling zone F. bring. It can be seen that the transport coils 13 of the screw conveyor 12 grip the containers 2 laterally. As a result, the containers 2 are at a feed speed corresponding to the transport speed v of the chain conveyor 7 can be carried and can be spaced apart in accordance with the distance a between the outlet openings 14 of the filling funnel 4. As can be seen from FIG. 2, the transport path 1 is arranged obliquely in the entry area E by an entry angle ⁇ .
  • the hopper 4 can be inserted into the container 2 with the outlet opening 14 during a continuous transport movement. It is understood that the outlet openings 14 of the hopper 4 are designed as centering. 3 shows that the conveyor track 1 is also arranged obliquely in the region of the conveyor belt 6 by the angle ⁇ and that by lowering the conveyor belt 6 in the direction of transport the now filled containers 2 can be guided out of the centering of the hopper 4 in a continuous run.
  • a belt scale 3 is arranged as a metering device above the conveyor track 1 (FIG. 2). With the belt scale 3, a continuous product stream can be fed onto the containers 2 with the funnels 4 placed on at the transport speed v.
  • the belt scale 3 is equipped in a known manner with open-loop and closed-loop control devices which control the product flow in accordance with a specifiable setpoint.
  • the belt scale 3 is also connected to a controller that monitors the degree of filling in the containers and corrects the target value for the product flow accordingly in the event of deviations from a predetermined value.
  • the transport path 1 is also designed as a vibration path 15 designed with an unbalance drive, specifically with two individually adjustable path sections 15a, 15b.
  • a good compression of the product filled into the container 2 can be achieved by the vibration path 15.
