Definitions

  • the innovation relates to a filler element without a filling tube for a filling machine for filling containers, in particular bottles with a liquid filling material according to the preamble of protection claim 1.
  • Filling elements of this type are known in a wide variety of designs, and in the known filling elements the central functional element, enclosed by the return gas pipe or by the pipe profile forming this return gas pipe, is the signal transmitter, in the form of a probe determining the filling height.
  • the object of the innovation is to show a filling element with which it is possible to fill containers, in particular bottles, with a liquid filling material under improved conditions.
  • a filling element is designed in accordance with the characterizing part of the protection claim 1.
  • the filling element in the center of the discharge opening and thus in the center of the mouth of the container attached to the filling element has two separate gas paths or gas channels, in addition to the usual return gas path or gas channel in filling elements of the generic type Gas channel or gas path. Both gas channels are enclosed by the discharge opening, so that these or the gas paths formed by them lie within the all-round closed product flow formed during the filling phase with the liquid valve open and flowing downward on the inner surface of the container wall.
  • the additional gas channel formed by the additional gas pipe allows a particularly effective treatment of the container interior in a pre-treatment phase preceding the actual filling phase, namely treatment or flushing of the container interior with a gaseous or vaporous medium, in particular also in the form of an inert gas, for example CO 2 gas, or a water vapor.
  • a gaseous or vaporous medium in particular also in the form of an inert gas, for example CO 2 gas, or a water vapor.
  • This medium then enters the interior of this container centrally at the mouth of the container, bounces on the inner surface of the container base, is deflected radially outwards, finally flows back upwards along the inner surface of the container wall and is then related to the axis of the additional gas channel radially outer return gas channel discharged.
  • it is also particularly effective to apply a negative pressure to the interior of the container via the additional gas pipe.
  • the additional gas pipe together with the pipe profile of the return gas pipe surrounding this gas pipe, forms a double-walled return gas pipe with a central gas channel and an annular, heat-insulating air gap between the inner gas channel and the outer surface of the return gas pipe, again to avoid an undesired one Heat transfer to the product.
  • FIGS. 1-3 each of which represents a simplified representation and in vertical section of one of the filling elements of a rotating construction type in various embodiments.
  • 1 is the ring bowl of a filling machine of the rotating type, which in a known manner is part of the rotating machine around a vertical machine axis Rotors of this filling machine is.
  • the interior of the ring bowl 1 is filled to a predetermined level N with the liquid filling material, so that in the ring bowl 1 there is a liquid space 2 occupied by the liquid filling material and above it a gas space 3 which contains an inert gas, for example CO 2 gas with a predetermined or regulated filling pressure.
  • an inert gas for example CO 2 gas with a predetermined or regulated filling pressure.
  • the filling elements 4 are provided on the circumference of the ring bowl 1 at uniform angular intervals, each of which forms a filling point together with a liftable and lowerable bottle carrier 5, specifically for filling the respective ones with their bottoms up on the bottle carrier 5 and of this with its mouth 6 'in the sealing position against the filling element 4 pressed bottle 6.
  • Each filling element 4 consists of a housing 7 in which a liquid channel 8 is formed, one end of which is connected to the liquid chamber 2 via a passage 9.
  • the other end of the liquid channel 8 forms on the underside of the filling element 4 or the housing 7 an annular discharge opening 10 for the liquid filling material, which concentrically encloses a return gas pipe 11 or a pipe profile 11 'forming this return gas pipe, which axis-coaxially with a vertical filling element axis FA is arranged and on which the valve body 12 of the liquid valve 13 arranged in the liquid channel 8 is provided.
  • the valve body 12 Via the return gas pipe 11, the valve body 12 can be moved by a pneumatic actuating device 14 by a predetermined stroke in the vertical direction between a position shown in the figures, lowered and blocking the liquid valve 13 into a raised position opening the liquid valve 13.
  • a centering element 15 is provided, against the seal 15 'of which the respective bottle 6 with its mouth 6' is pressed during the filling process, so that when the bottle 6 is in sealing position with the filling element 4, the interior of this bottle is directed outwards sealed and communicates with the lower end of the liquid channel 8 via the discharge opening 10.
  • the return gas tube 11 extends with its lower, open end with a short length into the interior of the bottle 2.
  • a swirl body (not shown) is provided, which imparts a swirl to the liquid filling material when it flows into the bottle 6 with the liquid valve 13 open, such that the liquid filling material along the inner surface of the bottle wall into the each bottle 6 flows.
  • the return gas pipe 11 the upper end of which opens into a chamber 16 which is formed in the housing 7 and is closed towards the outside, encloses a second gas pipe 17 at a distance such that between the outer surface of the gas pipe 17 arranged coaxially with the axis FA and the inner surface of the return gas pipe 11 an annular return gas channel 18 opening into the chamber 16 is formed.
  • the gas pipe 17 or the gas duct 17 ′ formed by this gas pipe are open. Furthermore, this gas pipe is sealed by the chamber 16 and led out of the housing 7 and connected to the outlet of a pneumatically actuable control valve 19, which is connected on the input side to an annular channel 20, which is part of the rotor and is provided jointly for all filling elements 4, as well as a contains pressurized flushing medium, namely water vapor or a pressurized inert gas, for example CO 2 gas.
  • pressurized flushing medium namely water vapor or a pressurized inert gas, for example CO 2 gas.
  • each filling element 4 has three further, individually controllable, pneumatically actuable control valves 21 which are assigned to this filling element or provided on its housing 7 and which are connected as follows:
  • the channels 24, 27 and 30 are each partially implemented in the housing 7 and in the ring bowl 1, the remaining channels exclusively in the housing 7.
  • the respective filling element 4 does not have a probe determining the filling height. Instead of this probe, the further gas pipe 17 is provided.
  • the quantity of filling material is controlled volumetrically using an inductive flow meter 35 provided separately for each filling element 4 at the passage opening 9.
  • Each filler element 4 thus has two independent gas paths, namely the gas path (gas channel 17 ') and the return gas channel 18 formed by the additional gas pipe 17. Both gas paths are located within the annular discharge opening 10 and thus within the all-round closed product flow formed during filling and flowing down along the inner surface of the bottle wall.
  • the valve seat of the liquid valve 13, which cooperates with the valve body 12, can be provided very close to the underside of the housing or the contact surface there, formed by the seal 15 ', for the bottle mouth 6', since despite the two separate gas paths there are none laterally in the lower part of the liquid channel 8 opening gas channels are necessary.
  • the arrangement of the two separate gas paths in the center of the filling element 4 enables optimal conditions for a very effective flushing of the respective bottle 6 prior to filling with the flushing medium from the ring channel 20, in addition to an optimal routing of the filling material.
  • the flushing medium for this flushing process can flow into the bottle via the gas pipe 17 arranged centrally in the axis FA when the control valve 19 is open. The flushing medium then bounces off the inner surface of the bottom of the bottle 6, is diverted there and then passes back along the inner surface of the bottle wall into the region of the mouth 6 'of the bottle 6.
  • the flushing medium passes into the annular duct 31 serving as the return gas collection duct, via which the used flushing medium is discharged.
  • the ring-shaped cross section of the return gas channel 18 results in a very homogeneous guidance of the flushing medium within the respective bottle 6.
  • a rapid gas exchange or a rapid purging is included ensures low mixing zones, and this without impairing the inflow conditions or filling material guidance when the liquid valve 13 is opened later.
  • Another important advantage of the filling element 4 with the central additional gas pipe 17 is that heat treatment to the filling material present in the liquid channel 8 is avoided when treating or flushing the interior of the bottle 6 with steam through the return gas duct surrounding the gas pipe 17 , although the return gas pipe 17 passes through this liquid channel 8.
  • the return gas pipe 17 passes through this liquid channel 8.
  • FIG. 2 shows a filling element 4a, which differs from the filling element 4 essentially only in the features specified below.
  • the filling element 4a is connected with the ring channel 28, which in this case serves as a return gas collecting channel, and with the channel 30 to the ring channel 31, which in this case serves as a vacuum channel. Furthermore, in the case of the filling element 4a, the channel 29 connecting the control valve 23 on the input side to the channel 25 or to the chamber 16 has been eliminated. Instead of this, a channel 29a is provided, which Control valve 23 connects on the input side to the interior of the additional gas pipe 17, which is connected via the control valve 19 to the ring channel 20 carrying hot or saturated steam.
  • the filling element 4a and the filling element 4 are pretensioned, filled and relaxed in the usual manner, namely by corresponding control of the liquid valve 13 and the control valves 21 and 22.
  • Fig. 3 shows a filling element 4b, which differs from the filling element 4 of Fig. 1 essentially in that instead of the gas pipe 17, a pipe section 17b is provided, which is flush with its upper and lower ends with the return gas pipe 11b or with the latter Pipe profile 11b 'lies.
  • the annular gap 38 formed between the tube 17b and the tube profile 11b ' is sealed both at the upper end and at the lower end, so that a double-walled return gas tube 11b is formed, with a channel 37 which is open at the lower end and at the top ends in the chamber 16 which is connected via a channel 39 and via the control valve 19 to the saturated steam channel 20.
  • the filling element 4b in contrast to the filling elements 4 and 4a, has only one gas path projecting centrally into the bottle mouth, namely the channel 37, the filling element 4b also has the advantage that thermal insulation is achieved due to the double-walled design, ie through the annular gap 38 which, when the respective bottle 6 is pressurized or rinsed with steam or other hot treatment medium largely prevents undesirable heat transfer to the filling material.
  • This double-walled design is also made possible in that the flow meter 35 is provided instead of a probe that determines the fill level.
