Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for sterilizing the filling of preferably liquid foods in Packing containers with a preheating zone, one Sterilization zone, a drying zone, a filling zone and a locking zone, the individual zones immediately are arranged adjacent to each other and a sterile room form.
  • H 2 O 2 ie hydrogen peroxide
  • An optimal effect is achieved if the packs to be filled are heated in a first zone (preheating zone) in order to be able to carry out the post-treatment as quickly and efficiently as possible.
  • the continuously moving packs are transported from the preheating zone to the downstream disinfection zone, where wetting with the disinfectant, preferably H 2 O 2 , takes place.
  • the liquid H 2 O 2 is atomized by means of hot compressed air or superheated steam to form an H 2 O 2 aerosol, so that no larger and heavier droplets can deposit on the surface of the package, which could no longer be removed during the subsequent rinsing process.
  • the short-term wetting with the H 2 O 2 aerosol under a hot atmosphere is sufficient to reliably kill existing germs.
  • the packs pass through a further zone, the so-called drying zone. In this zone, the packs are flushed with flowing superheated steam at atmospheric pressure. The packs are then actually filled in a filling zone using likewise known means.
  • each individual zone must first be flushed with such an amount of H 2 O 2 aerosol in order to reliably disinfect or remove the (contaminated) air present.
  • H 2 O 2 aerosol for this purpose, it was previously necessary to rinse the individual chambers of the different zones with H 2 O 2 steam in a certain period of time in order to achieve the desired sterilization. This required a great deal of design effort and a correspondingly high consumption of H 2 O 2 , since the individual chambers can always be inadequately sealed in the transport direction of the packs.
  • EP-A-0 237 777 there is a device for sterilizing when filling food into packaging containers described.
  • This sterile room is designed like a housing. Such a box-shaped configuration guarantees the tightness of the sterile room.
  • the disadvantage, however, is that all supply elements and lines within the Sterile room are laid open and thus possible stoves for Represent nucleation. The cleaning of the Sterile room as particularly problematic.
  • the object of the invention is therefore the basis, the aforementioned and described in more detail above Device for sterilizing so design and to develop that with a structurally simple structure a sterile room is created in which the amount of used disinfectant and also the necessary Effort for cleaning and maintenance can be minimized can.
  • the device essentially flat, detachable lid which the covers the entire sterile room and has a cavity, in the distribution and supply elements are housed, so that only the ends of the supply organs and the Closing the packing container necessary closing elements protrude into the sterile room.
  • the lid consists in essentially from an upper and a lower sheet, the are welded together. Between the top and the a cavity is formed in the lower plate.
  • the cavity of the cover is preferably hermetic completed. So can already in the manufacture of the Check the tightness by means of a cover Pressure test.
  • the cavity of the Lid filled with an insulating material he can for example, be foamed.
  • the use of a such an insulation layer is particularly advantageous to a isolating effect to achieve the disinfectant not in the hot interior atmosphere of the sterile room cold bottom of the lid condenses and drops into the filling packs.
  • the lid is essentially has smooth surfaces, in particular the regular to keep the required cleaning effort low.
  • the Cover a circumferential flange through a appropriate shaping of the sheets used becomes. In this way, an optimal seal in the the temperature level particularly "vulnerable" upper area of the sterile room.
  • Fig. 1 is a lid 1 of the device according to the invention preferably more liquid for sterilization during filling Shown food cut into packaging containers. There, one after the other, from left to right, are the individual preheating zone A through the packs, Sterilization zone B, drying zone C, filling zone D and Locking zone E shown.
  • the device according to the invention no longer divides into individual chambers as in the prior art, the individual zones A, B, C, D, E are no longer isolated from one another. Rather, the sterile room is delimited by a surrounding housing, not shown. According to the invention, the top of the sterile room is delimited by a cover 1 in which the necessary supply elements 2, 3, 4, 5 are integrated.
  • the corresponding supply lines first include the distribution elements 2 for the heating steam in the preheating zone.
  • a disinfectant preferably an H 2 O 2 aerosol
  • the packs 7 are dried via a distribution element 4 and corresponding drying lines 4 in the drying zone C.
  • the packs 7 which in the illustrated and insofar preferred embodiment in two rows the sterile room pass through, have been sterilized and cleaned, they arrive in the filling zone D, where they are indicated by filling elements 5 can be filled. Finally, the packs go through the Locking zone E, where the head area is kept sterile Packs are made.
  • Fig. 1st illustrated cover 1 in the area of line II-II, that is Sterilization zone B shown in section. It is recognizable that the lid 1 consists essentially of an upper plate 8 and a lower plate 9, which are interconnected and form a cavity 10. Because the top and lower plates 8, 9 are welded together, it is possible to create a hermetically sealed cavity 10 form, so that already in the manufacture of the lid 1 Tightness of the lid 1 by pressurizing it Cavity 10 can be checked.
  • the cavity 10 of the Cover 1 is filled with an insulating material 11.
  • an insulating material 11 A high level of thermal insulation is achieved to a Condensation of the disinfectant used on the Underside of the lid 1 reliably when filling to be able to exclude.
  • the cavity 10 of the cover 1 be filled with common insulation material 11.
  • Fig. 2 also shows that the cover 1 a circumferential Flange 12 has the dimensions of not illustrated side walls of the individual zones A, B, C, D, E corresponds to the sterile room.
  • Fig. 2 can also be seen that the not shown Disinfectant supply line via a flange with the cover 1 via a flange 13 with the distribution element 3 has been releasably connected.
