Definitions

  • the invention relates to a valve for filling liquids in packaging, with a Housing with feed nozzle, front mouthpiece and outlet device, in one A plurality of outlet holes is arranged, with a movably arranged in the housing, with a valve seat that can be brought into engagement and with the rear Sealing devices for the closing body, the outlet holes, over the entire Cross-sectional area of the outlet device designed as an outlet plate is distributed in Penetrating direction of the longitudinal axis of the mouthpiece, the diameter or the width of the outlet holes is greater than 1 mm and less than 5 mm and the Length of the outlet holes is greater than twice their diameter or their width.
  • the diameter of the filling opening limits the diameter of the filling nozzle and the filling pipe. To a large volume flow to get, you have to increase the flow rate of the product. This but leads to increased foaming when filling foaming products.
  • filling mouthpieces used in practice are usually difficult cleanable, because they usually have to be dismantled and cleaned by hand.
  • a valve is known from EP-A-0.099.582, in which the mouthpiece is cup-shaped so that the bottom of the cup with a ring of elongated Exit holes are provided, which diverge from the central central axis down.
  • the outlet holes By this divergence of the outlet holes is said to cause foaming when filling with liquid in a container by minimizing the liquid jet against an inner wall of the container bounces and loses its kinetic energy there.
  • the expert knows that many types of liquid foods, such as milk, do not foam cannot be bottled this way.
  • the cleaning of the known valve is also difficult because there are annular gaps between the outlet and the mouthpiece, in which Deposit liquids and form bacteria. There are also unfavorable dead spaces where there are can also collect residual products and dirt. If you wanted this valve without Automatically clean disassembly in place, these dirt collecting rooms would not or sometimes only very inadequately cleaned.
  • the object of the invention is therefore a filling valve with the features mentioned above to improve so that the number of components is drastically reduced, so that cleaning of the valve is simplified, with no relative movements between packaging and Outlet device nevertheless has a large volume flow of the liquid filling material with a low one Exit speed is guaranteed.
  • the outlet plate in one piece is formed with the mouthpiece that the mouthpiece downstream of its connecting parts is designed with the housing as a piece with a continuous surface that the Capping body from its downstream, conical tip to lower to its upstream rear end without sharp edges with smooth transitions Curvature is fluidly favorable and that the distance of the cone tip of the closing body to the upstream inner surface of the outlet plate is larger than half The diameter of the mouthpiece is.
  • This solution according to the invention succeeds in liquid filling material with a low exit speed to be brought in packaging in sufficient quantity even if the distance between the outlet plate with the mentioned outlet holes and the filling opening of the Packaging remains constant during the filling operation.
  • the outlet plate which is with the mouthpiece is made in one piece, that is in one piece with a continuous surface. It follows advantageously a streamlined surface of the mouthpiece without there being annular gaps, there could be vertical gaps or other interruptions in the surface of the mouthpiece, for example in that the mouthpiece would be composed of several parts.
  • Even the Exit plate is one piece with the mouthpiece.
  • the exit plate practically forms the front, outlet end of the mouthpiece and is perpendicular to it Longitudinal axis.
  • the exit holes in the form of short tubes or better holes penetrate the outlet plate vertically so that they in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the Mouthpiece run, preferably all parallel to each other and particularly preferred straightforward.
  • the cleaning of the new valve is simplified without the other advantages would be affected.
  • the cross-sectional area is designed the exit holes are circular.
  • Exit holes the cross-sectional area of which is oval, oblong, curved or similar Configuration is designed, but the circular shape is particularly easy to manufacture (Drill).
  • the cross-sectional area of the The exit holes are polygonal and remain between the individual exit holes a web that is used in today's machining processes, e.g. the mouthpiece with the outlet plate made of metal, e.g. stainless steel or aluminum, very much can be kept narrow.
  • the web width between adjacent polygonal exit holes, e.g. hexagonal holes, can be between 0.1 and 0.5 mm, preferably about 0.3 mm. This gives you an even better use of space, because the The cross-sectional area of the mouthpiece corresponds approximately in its outlet area that cross-sectional area of the outlet plate, which are provided with the outlet holes can be.
  • downstream outer surface of the Exit plate is concave. If you design the so-called active surface of the Exit plate, i.e. the area in which exit holes are arranged in such Way that the surface facing the interior of the mouthpiece is flat and the mentioned downstream outer surface of the outlet plate is then slightly concave this is avoided when opening the valve and when the liquid product first emerges Spraying small splashes on the outside of the packaging Filling opening.
  • the filling valve is opened intermittently during operation and closed. Even if dripping is avoided, it cannot be avoided that on the outer, downstream side of the outlet plate, liquid through cohesion is held.
  • the "concave" curvature of the mentioned outer surface of the outlet plate is that Curvature, which the outlet plate in its central region against the flow direction bulges inwards towards the interior of the mouthpiece. In other words, it lies Center of a circle for this concave curvature downstream of the mouthpiece on the extension of its longitudinal central axis and preferably below, because that Filling valve is usually arranged so that the longitudinal central axis of the mouthpiece.
  • the exit plate is horizontal.
  • the exit holes of the exit plate are shorter in the middle area, namely by up to 5 % to 30%, preferably up to 10% to 25% shorter.
  • the closing body on the downstream side as Cone is designed, the cone angle ( ⁇ ) in the range of 40 ° to 90 °, preferably from 60 ° to 70 °.
  • ⁇ in the range of 40 ° to 90 °, preferably from 60 ° to 70 °.
  • the diameter of this common beam is advantageously smaller than the outer one Diameter of the cross-sectional area through which the large number of individual beams flows.
  • the latter is the so-called active surface of the exit plate, which at Observation of the measures according to the invention is surprisingly somewhat larger can be kept (e.g. 5 to 10% larger) than the cross-sectional area of the inlet opening the packaging. It is only necessary to ensure that the cross-sectional area of the bundled, from the individual jets of the combined jet fits into the filling opening of the pack.
  • the invention is advantageously further developed in that the mouthpiece fits in one shaped recess releasably inserted in a carrier plate via seals held in this way is that essentially only the downstream outer surface of the outlet plate and the outer Surface of the mouthpiece in the area around the outlet plate from the carrier plate in the Protect hygiene room. Both in normal operation when filling liquid food as especially in sterile or aseptic operation, it is beneficial to use all means to do this ensure that contamination cannot occur. So according to the invention by the here Measures explained advantageously achieved that the filling valve into the hygiene area only has a very low immersion depth There are only small areas that protrude into reach the hygiene room or in the aseptic area of such a machine.
  • a cleaning cap is movably arranged, which is one of the Carrier plate facing sealing surface with sealants, the sealing surface of the Cleaning cap of the assigned surfaces of the carrier plate and of this protruding mouthpiece for receiving and forming a cleaning interior is designed accordingly.
  • the filling valve can be clean the invention particularly well on site and also sterilize on site.
  • Closure body and the cleaning cap with its guide as moving parts that are in the Can move hygiene room or possibly in the aseptic room.
  • Known Filling valves have numerous moving parts and large surfaces associated with them related disadvantages.
  • the cleaning cap only needs for cleaning and Sterilization to be moved, otherwise there is only the closure body with the new filling valve, which moves in the hygiene room, but which on the other hand is correspondingly smoother and closed surface is designed and held sealed valve side that Contamination is avoided, germs cannot develop and bacteria too cannot be brought in from the valve.
  • the few bushings are sealed, so that bacteria cannot be drawn into the hygiene room. Lubrication points are excluded in the valve according to the invention in the hygiene room.
  • the one-piece design of the outlet plate with the mouthpiece also serves a skillful Cleaning. There are no longer the screens, disks or inserts that were used on Mouthpiece must be sealed accordingly and during cleaning and maintenance work To make trouble.
  • By inserting the valve in the carrier plate and Brackets using the seals can also be caused by temperature fluctuations during cleaning resulting change in length of the housing and / or mouthpiece of the invention Valves are picked up and balanced.
  • the new filling valve can be cleaned daily, on site.
  • the outlet holes can either be drilled, in the case of polygonal cross-sections EDM, laser beam or water jet, etc.
  • the active area of the Exit plate can be used optimally because there are only small ones between the exit holes Areas of material remain so that a sufficient number of individual jets of the material to be filled Liquid can be let through the outlet plate and at low outlet speed but a large volume flow is guaranteed.
  • the filling valve shown in perspective or in section in FIGS. 1 and 2 has in its upper half a housing 1 and attached to it in the lower half a mouthpiece 2, in the middle of an externally streamlined closure body 3 in the direction of Double arrow 26 is arranged vertically up and down.
