Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for the aseptic or sterile filling of liquid contents into containers, in particular in bottles, according to the preamble of claim 1 and to an apparatus for performing this method according to the preamble of claim 15.
  • a disadvantage of this known method is that, of the closed, very small-volume chamber, only the portion of the bottle neck immediately adjacent to the mouth of the bottle is accommodated, and in particular the filling tube only extends into the inside of the bottle with a very small part length during the sterilization phase, so that the lower, open end of the filling tube is at a distance from the bottom of the bottle which is many times greater than the distance between the open end of the filling tube and the bottle mouth.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a method of the type described above, with which an aseptic filling of liquid contents under counterpressure in containers, in particular in bottles, without the use of chemical aids is particularly reliably possible.
  • the hot sterilization medium which is preferably steam and preferably more saturated
  • Water vapor is introduced into the interior of the container through the filling pipe in such a way that it emerges from the filling pipe directly at the bottom of the container.
  • the sterilization phase there is a uniform and intensive flow of the hot sterilization medium along all of the container surfaces critical for the container to be free of germs. -Areas, so that a high degree of sterility is achieved in a short treatment period, especially taking into account a preferably carried out heating of the container in a preheating phase.
  • the chamber is closed at least during part of the sterilization phase and that a relatively high sterilization medium pressure and thus also a high sterilization medium temperature can be set in the chamber during the sterilization phase or during this part of the sterilization phase. It is also essential in the invention that the chamber is also closed during the filling phase following the sterilization phase, so that the liquid filling material can be filled under counterpressure by using the pressure prevailing in the chamber. This results in the same conditions with respect to the positioning of the container, in particular also in relation to the respective filling element and its parts, during the sterilization phase and the filling phase.
  • the counterpressure required for the filling phase is formed by the pressure of the sterilization medium that has set in the chamber at the end of the sterilization phase. In this case, the filling phase immediately follows the sterilization phase.
  • the sterilization medium is removed or drained from the chamber after the end of the sterilization phase, either by opening the chamber to the atmosphere or by applying a negative pressure to the chamber.
  • both of the above-mentioned method steps are used sequentially in time, with residues remaining in the chamber or in the container interior even after the chamber has been subjected to negative pressure or by connecting the chamber to a negative pressure source even after the sterilization medium has been discharged to the environment on sterilization medium or on condensate (water) of the sterilization medium with certainty be removed completely.
  • the chamber is then pre-tensioned with a pre-tensioning medium under pressure, namely with an inert gas (e.g. CO2) or with sterile air. After this preloading of the chamber, the filling phase is then initiated.
  • an inert gas e.g. CO2
  • sterile air sterile air
