Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for cleaning filling plants, in which a cleaning and / or sterilizing medium is pumped through product lines and / or filling heads of the filling plant.
  • CIP clean in place
  • the CIP systems pump cleaning fluid, gas and / or sterilizing agent through the pipes and treatment heads to be cleaned and then feed them back to the CIP system. Monitoring elements are provided in the return of the CIP system with which the quality of the cleaning process is checked.
  • US Pat. No. 4,848,381 describes a clean-in-place system for cleaning an ice machine. From a mixing tank with cleaning liquid, this is pumped through the product lines in order to free them of impurities. For this purpose, a pump for conveying the cleaning liquid is provided in each filling line. A pressure switch is assigned to each pump, which indicates whether the pressure in the filling line exceeds a specified value. The pump is only switched on when the pressure switch generates a low pressure signal, so that it is ensured that the pump is only switched on when the nozzle valve is open. This is to prevent the pump from working against too high a pressure and thereby damaging it.
  • the object of the present invention is to enable a reliable statement about the quality of the cleaning process when cleaning bottling plants.
  • This object is essentially achieved with the invention in that the amount of the cleaning and / or sterilizing medium flowing through each individual filling head during the cleaning and / or sterilizing process is measured.
  • the error-concealing effect of the average value formed when the cleaning agent flows together in the return of the CIP system is avoided.
  • An error that occurs on a single filling head can be detected independently and leads to an error message.
  • the speed of the cleaning and / or sterilizing medium flowing through each filling head and the associated feed line is determined.
  • the flow rate depends solely on the flow rate. The analysis of the flow rates not only allows a statement to be made about the flow rate, but also about whether the necessary flow rate for adequate cleaning has been reached.
  • the quantities measured at the individual filling heads and / or the determined flow velocities of the cleaning and / or sterilization medium that have flowed through are compared with one another.
  • deviations in the flow behavior of the individual channels can be determined, which allow conclusions to be drawn as to the need for repair. Faults such as delayed or only partially opening valves or themselves Clogged pipes can be identified and remedied in good time before the faults lead to system malfunctions.
  • each filling head and / or the associated feed line measured during a cleaning and / or sterilization process are stored and compared with data from previous cleaning and / or sterilization processes. This also enables a trend analysis for the individual filling head and the assigned line section, which allows an assessment of its flow behavior with regard to any errors that may develop.
  • a particularly simple implementation of the method described above is achieved according to the invention in that flow measuring devices arranged in product feed lines of the individual filling heads are used to measure the flow rate of the cleaning and / or sterilizing medium.
  • flow measuring devices arranged in product feed lines of the individual filling heads are used to measure the flow rate of the cleaning and / or sterilizing medium.
  • volumetric counters are regularly provided for recording the amount of product to be filled into the container. These volumetric counters are built into the product feed to the respective filling heads.
  • these flow meters can be used to measure the flow rate of the cleaning and / or sterilizing medium, so that the installation of additional measuring devices is spared.
  • the single figure shows schematically part of a filling plant for carrying out the method according to the invention.
  • the product to be filled is fed to a container (not shown), in particular a keg, via a main product line 1 and a collecting line 2, from which feed lines 3 branch off to filling heads 4, during the filling process.
  • a flow measuring device 5 is provided in the feed line 3 of each filling head 4 to measure the quantity of product filled.
  • the main product line 1 which is connected to the collecting line 2, for example via a pivotable connection 6, is decoupled from the collecting line 2.
  • the manifold 2 is connected to the return of a CIP system 7, for example, via the pivotable connection 6.
  • the switchover between the filling and cleaning process can also take place, for example, via reusable valves or the like.
  • the CIP system 7 is connected to the filling heads 4 via a main cleaning line 8.
  • cleaning lines 10, which lead to a filling head 4 branch off from the main cleaning line 8 via valves 9.
  • the main cleaning line 8 can be interrupted via a pivotable connection 17 or valves.
  • Additional lines 11 branch off from the filling heads 4 and can be closed via valves 12 and lead back to the main cleaning line 8 or a drain line 13.
  • a cleaning and / or sterilizing medium is pumped from the CIP system 7 via a pump 14 into the main cleaning line 8 and via this and the cleaning lines 10 into the filling heads 4.
  • water can be supplied via a supply line 15.
  • the cleaning liquid flows out of the filling heads 4 via the feed lines 3 into the manifold 2, via which it is returned to the return line of the CIP system 7.
  • Measuring devices (not shown) for checking the quality of the cleaning process are provided in the CIP system 7.
  • the CIP system can have flow meters for determining the amount of cleaning agent that has flowed through the entire system during the cleaning process, as well as temperature, pressure and conductance measuring devices or the like. From the CIP system 7, the cleaning liquid flowing back is either fed via a drain line 16 to a waste water or treatment system or is reused for a new cleaning process.
  • the flow measuring devices 5 in the feed lines 3 of each filling head 4 With the flow measuring devices 5 in the feed lines 3 of each filling head 4, the amount of the cleaning and / or sterilization medium flowing through the filling head 4 during the cleaning and / or sterilization process is measured. If it turns out that no or too little cleaning fluid has flowed through the filling head 4, an error message is output by the flow measuring device 5, so that the filling head 4 can be repaired before the next filling process.
  • the values measured by the individual flow measuring devices 5 of the filling heads 4 are collected and compared with one another, so that differences in the flow behavior of the individual filling heads 4 or the feed lines 3 can be determined.
  • the measured data of each filling head 4 are stored, for example, in a data processing device (not shown) and compared with data from previous cleaning and / or sterilization processes. This enables a trend analysis to determine whether the flow behavior of the examined filling head 4 and the associated feed lines 3 changes over time, so that errors can be recognized in good time and repair measures can be taken before the errors lead to more serious malfunctions in the filling system.
  • the method according to the invention can be used using the existing structures without additional flow measuring devices being necessary .
  • the flow measuring devices 5 can be turbine flow meters or magnetic inductive flow meters which emit a certain number of pulses per amount of liquid that has flowed through.
