Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such methods for filling liquid contents, in particular beverages (especially beer), are known (see e.g. EP-A-536 906). It is also customary here to flush the respective container with inert gas and / or to apply a negative pressure to it before the actual prestressing in a pretreatment phase, ie. H. to evacuate.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a method which reconciles these above-mentioned, at least partially contradicting requirements and ensures the lowest possible consumption of inert gas with the lowest possible air or oxygen content in the prestressed container.
  • a method according to claim 1 is designed to achieve this object.
  • the prestressed container only contains an extremely small amount of air or oxygen.
  • the method according to the invention is therefore suitable for Filling an oxygen-sensitive filling material, ie in particular for filling oxygen-sensitive beverages, a primary area of application of the invention being beer filling.
  • the duration of the exposure to the respective container with negative pressure (evacuation) as well as the intensity of the purging or the amount of inert gas supplied to the respective container are time-controlled and are therefore independent of the speed and output of this machine in a filling machine having a filling system.
  • each purging is preceded by an evacuation of the container, so that at the beginning of each purging there is a precisely defined pressure in the interior of the respective container and thus the amount of the inert gas introduced into the container during purging can be controlled precisely.
  • the container is also evacuated at the end of the pretreatment phase and thus immediately before the pretensioning phase.
  • 1 is a filling element which, together with a large number of identical filling elements, is provided on the circumference of a rotor 2 of a type that rotates around a vertical machine axis.
  • An annular bowl 3 which is common to all the filling elements 1 and also concentrically surrounds the vertical machine axis, is also provided on the rotor 2 and serves to receive and to supply the liquid filling material to the individual filling elements 1.
  • the ring bowl 3 is filled with this filling material up to a predetermined level N, in such a way that a gas space 5 is formed above the level N or the liquid space 4 occupied by the liquid filling material.
  • the ring bowl 3 or its liquid space 4 is connected to a line (not shown) for supplying the liquid filling material.
  • the gas space 5 is connected via a line, also not shown, to a source for an inert compressed gas (preferably CO 2 gas) such that the gas space 5 has a predetermined constant overpressure (filling pressure P1) when the filling machine is
  • the rotor 2 there is also a common return gas collecting duct 6 for all filling elements, which, among other things, in the manner described in more detail below. serves to receive the CO2 gas displaced from these when filling the bottles 7 and in which a predetermined overpressure P2 is set.
  • the filling pressure P1 is, for example, 2 bar overpressure and the pressure P2 in the return gas collection channel 6 is about 1 bar overpressure.
  • a vacuum channel 8 which is common to all filling elements 1, is also provided on the rotor 2, which is connected to a vacuum source via a line (not shown) and, for example, has a vacuum P3 of 0.9 bar, again in relation to the atmospheric pressure.
  • Each filling element 1 has a housing 9, in which a liquid channel 10 is formed, one end of which is connected to the liquid space 4 via an opening 11.
  • the other end of the liquid channel 10 forms an annular discharge opening 12 for the liquid filling material on the underside of the filling element 1 or the housing 9, which concentrically encloses a return gas pipe 13 ′ forming a return gas channel 13.
  • the return gas duct 13 is part of the gas path when brining, evacuating, prestressing, etc., as will be described below.
  • the probe 14 which determines the filling height is arranged in the usual way, in such a way that this probe, with its end having the probe contact 15, passes over the return gas pipe 13 'protrudes downwards and with its axis coaxially with the axis of the return gas pipe 13' or is arranged with the vertical filling element axis FA.
  • the liquid valve 16 is further provided in the usual way, which has a valve body 17 which, in the embodiment shown, is made in one piece with the return gas pipe 13 'and is raised by a predetermined stroke in the direction of the filler element axis FA between the raised and the liquid valve 16 and in the position shown in FIG. 1 and in a lowered position closing the liquid valve 16, by a pneumatic actuating device 18th
  • a centering tulip 19 is also provided, against which or the seal 20 the respective bottle 7 with its bottle mouth 7 'lies tight when filling and which in turn lies tight against the underside of the housing 9, so that when the bottle 7 is attached to the filling element 1, the interior of this bottle is sealed to the outside via the discharge opening 12 and communicates with the liquid channel 10.
  • the Filling element 1 of attached bottle 7 also extends the return gas pipe 13 ′ and the probe 14 through the bottle mouth 7 ′ into the interior of the bottle 7.
  • Each filling element 1 also has a control valve device which, in the embodiment shown, consists of three individually controllable valves 21, 22 and 23, which are designed as pneumatically actuable valves and are connected in the manner specified below:
  • the space 25 communicates with the upper end of the annular return gas duct 13, which is formed within the return gas tube 13 'and surrounds the probe 14.
  • a channel 32 is also provided, which connects the outlet of the valve 22 with the inlet of the valve 23, ie the channel 30 with the channel 29 and thus the return gas collection channel 6 with the chamber 25, and in which one is connected in series Ball or check valve 33 and a throttle 34 are arranged, namely the check valve 33 such that it closes when the pressure in the space 25 is below the pressure P2 of the return gas collection channel 6.
  • the ring bowl 3 being of course filled with the liquid contents up to the predetermined level N, the gas space 5 and the return gas collecting channel 6 each having the required CO2 gas pressure P1 or P2 and the vacuum channel before the corresponding filling machine is started up 8 has the required vacuum.
  • the valves 21-23 and also the liquid valve 16 are each in the closed position in the individual process steps, unless the open position is expressly specified for the respective valve.
  • the respective bottle 7 is raised by the lifting element, of which only the bottle plate 35 is shown in FIG. 1, in the usual way from below onto the filling element 1 and brought into sealing position with the filling element 1 with its bottle mouth 7 ′.
  • the valve 21 is then opened by the electronic control device 36, as a result of which a gas path or a connection between the interior of the bottle 7 and the vacuum channel 8 for evacuating via the channels 26 and 24, the space 25 and the return gas channel 13 and the opened valve 21 Bottle 7 is made.
  • the check valve 33 is here in the closed position, since the pressure in the space 25 is significantly below the pressure P2 of the return gas collecting duct 6.
  • This process step which is shown in FIG. 2 in item a, is controlled in particular by the choice of the negative pressure P3 in the vacuum channel 8 so that approximately one 90% vacuum is obtained in the respective bottle 7, ie only about 10% of the amount of air originally present in the bottle remains in the bottle.
  • bottle 7 is a 1.0 l bottle with a total volume of 1030 ml, at the end of this process step there is still approximately 103 ml of air in bottle 7, i.e. 927 ml of air were removed.
  • the valve 21 is closed again. Simultaneously or subsequently, the valve 22 opens, via which a connection is then established between the interior of the bottle 7 and the return gas collection duct 6, for a first flushing of the interior of the bottle 7 with CO2 gas from this return gas collection duct.
  • the opening time of the valve 22 is preselected or controlled in such a way that an amount of CO2 gas is introduced into the bottle 7 which, based on the pressure P2 of the return gas collection channel 6, corresponds to approximately a quarter of the total volume of the bottle, i.e. corresponds to about 250 ml.
  • the flushing time can be varied by the control device 36, so that i.a. any amount of purge gas that can be increased in this first purge is possible.
  • the valve 22 is closed again.
  • the valve 21 is opened and thus a connection between the interior of the bottle 7 and the vacuum channel 8 is established.
  • the bottle 7 is again evacuated via the return gas duct 13 to an approximately 90% vacuum, ie, according to the illustration in position c of FIG Bottle removed about 177 ml of CO2 gas and 73 ml of residual air, so that about 7 ml of CO2 gas and 30 ml of air remain in bottle 7.
  • valve 21 is closed again.
  • CO2 gas is again blown from the return gas collection channel 6 into the interior of the bottle 7, and in turn controlled, a quantity of gas that corresponds to approximately a quarter of the total volume of the bottle 7 in relation to the pressure P2, i.e. about 250 ml.
  • the amount of CO2 gas introduced is controlled by controlling the opening time of the valve 22. By extending the opening or flushing time, the amount of the introduced CO2 gas can be changed, for example increased.
  • valve 22 is closed again for the initiation of this method step, which can also be referred to as end evacuation of the bottle 7.
  • the valve 21 is opened again, as a result of which the interior of the bottle 7 is connected to the vacuum channel 8 and the bottle 7 is again evacuated via the return gas channel 13 to an approximately 90% vacuum.
  • This process step is shown in FIG. 2 in position e.
  • the valve 21 is closed in a time-controlled manner. Simultaneously or immediately thereafter, the valve 23 is opened, whereby a connection is established between the interior of the bottle 7 and the gas space 5, specifically via the channels 31 and 24, the space 25, the return gas channel 13 and the opened valve 23.
  • the interior The bottle 7 is biased to the CO2 gas from the gas space 5, which has a high concentration (99.0-99.9%) of CO2, to the filling pressure P1 regulated in the gas space 5.
  • the amount of CO2 gas supplied to the bottle 7 in this process step shown in position f of FIG. 2 corresponds to approximately 2987 ml based on the pressure P1. After prestressing, there is only a very small amount of air in the bottle 7, i.e. the CO2 concentration in the bottle at the end of the tempering is about 99.7%.
  • the connection between the bottle 7 and the gas space 5 is interrupted by closing the valve 23.
  • the liquid valve 16 is opened.
  • the ball valve 33 remains open.
  • the throttle 34 ensures throttling of the CO2 gas stream displaced from the bottle 7 via the return gas channel 13 into the return gas collection channel 6 and thus ensures a gentle and slow filling speed.
  • the filling speed actually achieved here results from the effective cross section of the throttle 34 and from the pressure difference between the gas space 5 and the return gas collecting duct 6. These parameters can be set depending on the sensitivity of the filling material to be filled.
  • the duration of the filling phase is controlled by the control electronics 36 and is limited, for example, to a few hundred milliseconds.
  • valve 23 is opened, so that an unthrottled gas path into the gas space 5 results via the return gas channel 13 and the opened valve 23, in addition to the gas path via the throttle 34, which results in a filling speed which is essentially is determined by the static height difference between the level N of the contents in the ring bowl 3 and in the respective bottle 7.
  • the duration of this rapid filling phase is either controlled centrally by control electronics 36 by freely selectable time specification for all filling elements 1 of the filling machine, or individually for each filling element or for each bottle 7 by probe 14 or by the probe contacts provided at the lower end of this probe 15.
  • valve 23 is closed again, so that the same filling speed is established as for slow filling.
  • the liquid valve 16 is closed in the usual way, if necessary after a preselectable correction time.
  • valve 22 After closing the liquid valve 16, the valve 22 is opened and the interior of the bottle 7 is relieved of the pressure of the return gas collecting channel 6.
  • valve 21 is briefly controlled by the control electronics 36, preferably in such a way that after the valve 21 has been closed again and immediately before the bottle 7 is then removed from the filling element 1 in this bottle only there is still negligible overpressure.
  • the method described has the advantage that, with a high CO2 gas concentration in the respective bottle, an extremely low consumption of CO2 gas is achieved at the end of the prestressing (method step 6).
  • an assumed CO2 gas or purge gas volume of 1/4 bottle volume at an overpressure of approximately 1.0 bar in the return gas collection channel 6 the CO2 consumption is less than 200 g per hl of filled product, i.e. especially in the example shown in FIG. 2, a CO2 consumption of about 100 g per hl.
  • This low CO2 consumption with a high CO2 concentration in the bottle after tempering is, among other things. to the multiple intermediate purging (first and second purging) with evacuation and also to be attributed to the fact that the return gas displaced from the respective pre-stressed bottle 7 during the filling phase flows completely back into the return gas collection channel 6 and into the gas space 5 and thus for flushing and prestressing the bottles 7 can be used again.
  • the actual consumption of CO2 gas thus results from the amounts of gas flowing into the vacuum channel 6 during the second and third evacuation as well as during residual unloading.
