Definitions

  • the subject of the present invention is a method for filling especially plastic bottles with liquid plus particularly a fruit drink, as well as the associated device, (see preamble to claims 1 and 7).
  • heat treatment can modify the initial qualities of liquids and above all such a process proves to be energy intensive, both for the liquid treatment only for reheating bottles to avoid thermal shock during filling.
  • the plastic bottle also allows a significant weight gain and a reduced risk of cutting with pieces of bottles in glass whose fragility is not to be proven.
  • plastic containers has mainly oriented towards polyvinyl chloride but especially towards polyethylenes, called PET for the remainder of the description.
  • This material is produced at low cost, it is recyclable and it can be integrated as a step in a filling process, by in situ manufacturing containers with a rate in accordance with the capacities of filling.
  • the filling process then poses a problem because the resistant PET at a high cost price because of the amount of material necessary to increase the thickness of the walls.
  • the wall thickness is reduced which contributes to a saving of material therefore to a saving of price and to a gain from further recycling.
  • Cold filling has the definite advantage of eliminating the crushing of the bottle which would have been caused by a filling at hot. Indeed, the cooling which follows hot filling causes a contraction of the gaseous fluid present in the bottle which results in a deformation of the bottle called "collapse", linked to the fact that the resistance wall mechanics is too weak to resist the resulting degression by the contraction of the gaseous fluid.
  • caps are supplied from other places with deliveries generally in double packaging: the caps are in a plastic film bag and these bags are stored in cartons having undergone a treatment.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to propose a method of filling, according to claim 1, plastic bottles, in particular PET, allowing to overcome the drawbacks of the prior art and in particular to eliminate the collapse and avoid fermentation after filling during storage before sale and consumption, knowing that the target set is a date sales limit of the order of several months, this under hygienic conditions say ultra-clean.
  • the present invention also relates to the associated device, as defined in claim 7 which allows to implement the different stages of the process.
  • the inert gas is nitrogen in the case of fruit drinks, in particular, and the treated air is class 100 air.
  • the contained air is evacuated in the bottle, filling and leveling by suction under low vacuum, the sucked air being evacuated and the sucked liquid being brought upstream of the processing circuit.
  • the deaeration station comprises a tank with setting means in depression.
  • the liquid saturation station includes a tank, placed under pressure of neutral gas with respect to the liquid from a source of this gas, in in this case a bottle fitted with a regulator, and means for spraying the liquid into said tank.
  • the bottle washing station includes projection means ozonated water on the inside and outside walls of the bottles and drying means in a hood under laminar flow of air treated by filtration in class 100.
  • the bottle filling station includes a circuit supply with a distributor tank, distribution arms, spouts operating under slight depression connected to these arms and a circuit suction independent of the supply circuit.
  • the tank distributor is of small capacity, therefore of small dimensions, and the arms of distribution are mounted radiant so as to disturb as little as possible laminar flow.
  • This dispensing tank also includes a water intake liquid, fitted with a sterile air intake, i.e. in class 100, for allow gravity flow and a shutter control for keep a constant level in this tank and limit the exchange of liquid with air.
  • a sterile air intake i.e. in class 100
  • 10 is the input buffer storage, 12 the deaerator, 14 the pasteurization flash loop, 16 the saturator, 18 the buffer storage and the filling station.
  • the buffer storage 10, at the entrance, includes a tank 22 which allows accumulate the liquid, in this case the fruit drink, in order to ability to absorb feed discontinuities while regulating flow at through the liquid processing circuit.
  • the fruit drink is, to put it simply, a composition of water, fruit and sugar concentrate with preservatives if necessary.
  • the liquid is pushed by a pump 24 into the circuit portion 26 which leads to the deaerator 12.
  • This deaerator comprises a tank 28 with means 30 for depressurizing the tank in order to lower in particular the oxygen content.
  • the oxygen content is important at the end of the manufacturing of the juice because the reconstitution is carried out with vigorous stirring, but it is necessary, depending on the process, achieve a rate ⁇ 1 mg / l of oxygen to take into account possible subsequent oxygen recoveries during some of the phases following of the filling.
  • liquid is precooled before entering the deaerator by a loop 32 of the cold group 34 of the flash pasteurization.
  • This flash pasteurization further comprises a hot group 36 with a circulation pump 38, an exchange loop 40 with a group steam 42.
  • a three-way valve 44 makes it possible to adjust the temperature while that an expansion vessel 46 makes it possible to compensate for the expansion of the fluids.
  • the liquid circulated by a pump 48 first passes through an exchanger 50 with a cold loop 52 at the outlet of the deaerator, then immediately after through an exchanger 54 with a hot loop 56 in order to heat treat the liquid for a short time and finally to through an exchanger 58 with a very cold loop 60, at the immediate outlet cold production to bring the liquid to room temperature.
  • the cold unit 34 in fact comprises a buffer tank 62 of water cold, itself cooled by a cold loop 64 with recirculation.
  • a valve three temperature adjustment channels 66 and a recirculation pump 68 complete the cold group.
  • the liquid after cooling, is sprayed into the top of a tank 70 of the saturator 16 by spraying means 75.
  • This tank is placed under nitrogen overpressure from a storage bottle 72 with a expansion valve system 74.
  • the liquid becomes saturated with nitrogen.
  • This saturation pressure and the liquid temperature are established depending on the rigidity to be obtained for the bottle after filling and its closure with the cap, rigidity generated by the back pressure internal.
  • the parameters to be taken into account are also the conditions of transport and storage, as well as the conditions of consumption, the level, sea or altitude, consumption temperature, ambient or fresh for example.
  • a circulation pump 76 allows the saturated liquid to be transferred into a buffer tank 78 subjected to a nitrogen overpressure at by means of a bottle 80 and a regulator system 82 in order to maintain the degree of saturation previously established.
  • the liquid is then ready to be drawn off for filling using a carousel 108 shown diagrammatically, all of the means filling being detailed below.
  • a final circulation pump 86 conducts the overflow liquid possibly not bottled towards the start of the device, in the tank 22 of the input buffer storage.
  • the schematic circuit must, in reality, be carried out according to the imperatives of know-how in the field, limiting elbows and more generally all the elements likely to cause turbulence or air accumulations preventing satisfactory purging. Such a installation and the corresponding recommendations are not part of the present invention.
  • Airlocks 88 and 90 allow staff to change before going enter the clean room 91.
  • This room is in class 10,000 according to the standard indicated above in the text, with turbulent flow.
  • the carousels are arranged under two hoods 92, 94, the hood 94 being in class 100, with flow circulation laminar.
  • An annex 96 room allows the transfer of caps thanks to a distributor of known type, with an elevator 98 and a supply 100 of said caps, followed by a rotating bowl 110 allow the positioning of the plugs in the supply and treatment ramp 101.
  • the hood 92 covers a bottle preparation station 106 and the plug treatment area and hood 94 covers the filling / capping 108 proper.
  • the hood 94 concerning the filling which is the most sensitive area, is supplied with class 10,000 air which passes through filters bacteria to obtain class 100 suitable air, this air diffusing at the outlet directly on the machine frame to avoid areas shade to be distributed then, on the one hand, in the room by openings small dimensions and, on the other hand, in the hood 92, concerning the preparation of bottles.
  • FIG. 3 Reference is usefully made to FIG. 3 for the detail of the preparation of bottles and filling of prepared bottles.
  • a conveyor 112 transports the empty bottles to feed a carousel 116 with a star 114 transfer. It is during this stage that the bottle is prepared by treatment with ozonated water at disinfectant agent. This water is prepared in a system of well known and commercially available separate production so that its representation is of no interest for the present description.
  • ozonated water in this specific case is particularly wise because it is a very powerful oxidant which reacts in solution aqueous with elements of the cell walls, which is the token of a excellent disinfection.
  • ozone is eliminated very quickly by vaporization in air, at least with durations compatible with high bottle throughput rates.
  • the carousel 116 is subjected to an air sweep so that the arrangement of the carousel must be studied to be as much as possible transparent to air flows, in order to generate as little as possible disturbances.
  • the air flow circulates from bottom to top because the bottles are rinsed internally and externally then reversed to ensure the emptying of the ozonated water that is contained.
  • the air flow ensures the ozone vaporization residual, so that if water remains, it can only be water perfectly neutral.
  • the ozone is evacuated by suction under the hood.
  • Bottle rinsing devices are well known and do not require no special description.
  • a 118 star ensures the return of the treated bottles to the carousel filling 108.
  • the upper part of this carousel is shown in detail in Figure 5.
  • the carousel includes a small capacity dispenser tank 120 with a mounting of the star filling arms 122, the end of each of the arms carrying a filling spout 124, the operation of these mouthpieces being indicated later.
  • These spouts are of the light depression type and provision is made for 126 suction lines of the level equalization overflow. These pipes are pricked on a collecting ring 128, supported by radiant supports 130. An evacuation of the liquid sucked during the setting level is referenced at 131, it brings the liquid back into the buffer tank input 22 ( Figure 1).
  • the distributor tank 120 is supplied by a supply outlet 132 of liquid, provided with an air intake 134 in depression to allow gravity flow.
  • Each spout is removable for cleaning and it includes a reduced number of parts.
  • the beak consists of a ring 136 inside which is located a membrane 138 in the form of a funnel, in flexible material such as silicone, as well as a movable head 140 connected to this funnel.
  • This head can take two positions, one in which it closes flow openings 142 and a position in which it releases said flow openings.
  • a seal 144 intended to cooperate with sealing with the opening of the bottle neck also ensures the resumption of mechanical support of said neck on the head, since, like this will be described below, it is the bottle which moves and the spout which remains fixed.
  • a central cannula 146 coaxial with the ring, equipped with a channel central 148, is connected to the overflow line 126 while the spout is supplied by line 122 with direct from distribution tank 120 ( Figure 5).
  • This cannula carries the flow openings 142.
  • the spout is perfectly waterproof and a bottle is mounted under the spout until the neck comes to rest on the head 140 of said beak and causes the latter to rise around the cannula, releasing the flow openings through which the liquid flows by gravity. At the same time, the air in the bottle is exhausted through the exhaust channel 148. When the liquid reaches the level of the end of the cannula, in line with the through opening of the channel 148, the liquid is sucked up, which leads to a very precise leveling.
  • This operating mode allows air to be drawn from the bottle and evacuate it outside the filling area and, more generally, from the White room. Likewise, the contact of the liquid with the air is reduced to minimum.
  • the bottle under the carousel is filled with liquid.
  • the filled bottles should be transferred using a star 150, transfer during which the inerting phase may take place.
  • inerting is carried out by degassing nitrogen dissolved in the liquid during saturation. This nitrogen release may allow accumulation in the neck area free of liquid.
  • This treatment is carried out during the passage of the plugs in the chute 101.
  • the plugs are conveyed by gravity into the feed ramp 101, to be distributed one by one to the heads of the screwdriver 152 thanks to a double star 154.
  • This double star 154 also ensures the transfer of corked bottles at the outlet of the screwdriver 152 to the conveyor 112, itself extended by the output conveyor 104.
  • the machine of the screwing station must be adapted from the point of view accessibility, maintenance, lubrication to lead to respect for ultra-cleanliness wanted.
  • the plug 156 shown in Figure 7 includes a ring tamper evident 158, of known type, and lips 160 and 162 which come reinforce the sealing qualities of the plating above the neck of the bottle with the bottom of the cap.
  • the method according to the invention offers a wide spectrum of applications because, in addition to allowing quality packaging for containers new on the market, it allows if necessary to condition liquids in well-known containers like glass bottles.
