Definitions

  • the invention relates to a continuous-cycle sterile bottling plant.
  • This kind of plant is already known, and comprises operative groups acting on bottles transiting along a feed line.
  • these plants are provided with a number of successive operative groups, including a sterilizing group, a washing group, a filler group and a capping group.
  • the whole plant is located in a slightly pressurized atmosphere, in which operators follow and check the operativity of the plant. Obviously the operators wear special garb to prevent contamination of the sterile environment.
  • the environment, or chamber, housing the plant has to be sterilized carefully, while the bottling plant itself has to be completely and scrupulously sterilized both internally and externally.
  • the external parts are cleaned with sterilizing fluids while the internal parts are subject to a mock functioning cycle during which sterilizing fluid instead of product is circulated.
  • the filler group heads are opened by the bottle necks and mouths, in order to complete this mock cycle dummy bottles are used, whose function is to open the filler heads.
  • the dummy bottles are loaded by hand by one or more operators; this operation therefore involves considerable preparation time as there is a considerable number of dummy bottles to be loaded.
  • GB 2 280 669 discloses a plant as in the preamble of claim 1.
  • each operative group comprises a sterile chamber crossed by the bottles.
  • Each sterile chamber has walls and is kept slightly pressurized, and represents a sterile zone containing a part of a relative operative group.
  • the various sterile chambers are interconnected.
  • One of the operative groups is provided upstream for sterilizing bottles.
  • Each of the operative groups downstream of the sterilizing group is kept slightly pressurized. This plant can obviate the above-mentioned drawbacks in the prior art, but it exhibites further drawbacks.
  • the operators In the first place the operators must don protective garb if they have to access to the motor and the mobile organs of the plant.
  • the sterilization fluids injected into the sterile chamber can spread into the adjacent chambers.
  • the main aim of the invention is to obviate the above-mentioned drawbacks in the prior art by providing a sterile bottling plant which is rapidly and easily sterilizable and which can be kept sterile in a sure but relatively simple and economical way.
  • An advantage of the invention is that it relieves operators of the need to wear protective garb.
  • a further aim of the invention is to provide a sterilizing method for the bottle filler group which is both simple and economical, as well as a filler group for using with said method.
  • 1 denotes in its entirety a continuous-cycle sterile bottling plant comprising a feed line 2 of bottles 3.
  • the bottles 3 are fed one after another to a plurality of operative groups 10, 20, 30, 40, each of which is provided with commandable mobile organs, for acting on the transiting bottles 3.
  • each operative group is provided with motorization for moving the bottles 3 as well as means for commanding the movement of the mobile organs.
  • the plant 1 comprises a sterilizing group 10, a washing group 20, a filler group 30 and a capping group 40.
  • the motors, of known type, for each group are indicated by 5, 6, 7 and 8.
  • Two tilting devices 6' are provided for tilting the bottles 3.
  • the mobile organs of the various groups are also of known type and are denoted by 11, 21, 29 and 44.
  • 11 denotes a vertical pipe for the passage of the sterilizing liquid
  • 21 denotes a further vertical pipe for the passage of the washing fluid.
  • Each pipe 11 and 21 is vertically slidable with respect to a respective hub 12 and 22 with a sterile barrier.
  • Each pipe 11 and 21 superiorly bears a nozzle which can be inserted into a bottle, and through which the relative sterilizing or washing fluid is injected thereinto by spraying.
  • Each operative group comprises a respective sterile chamber 10a, 20a, 30a, 40a which is crossed by the bottles 3.
  • Each sterile chamber is enclosed by walls 4 and is kept slightly pressurized, and constitutes a sterile zone containing part of the relative operative group.
  • At least one wall 4a of the walls 4 of each sterile chamber sealedly separates a relative sterile zone from the motor for the movement of the bottles 3 as well as the means for commanding the movement of the bottles 3 and the means for commanding the mobile organs of the relative operative group.
  • the motor and the means for commanding are thus outside the sterile zone.
  • the various sterile chambers for each operative group are interconnected.
  • the sterile chamber 10a of the sterilizing group 10 is kept at a slightly lower pressure than the sterile chambers of the other operative groups.
  • An aperture 13 is provided for placing the sterile chamber 10a for sterilizing in communication with the external atmosphere.
  • the filler group 30 is rotary and comprises an entrance 31 and an exit 32 for the bottles 3.
  • the filler group 30 is provided with a vertical-axis rotating shaft 25 which rotates a plurality of support organs 33, each of which transports, at each rotation, a bottle 3 from the entrance 31 to the exit 32.
  • Each support organ 33 is vertically mobile on command.
  • a filler head 34 is associated to each support organ 33, which filler head 34 is connected to means for dispensing the product destined to fill the bottles 3.
  • the means for dispensing comprise a plurality of product dispensing pipes 35.
  • Each filler head 34 opens, dispensing the product, by means of upwards pressure thereon.
  • An annular cam 36 acts on the support organs 33, following a rotation of the latter, to command vertical displacements thereof.
  • the cam 36 acts by means of a plurality of vertical-axis shafts 29, one for each support organ 33, which slide vertically in a hub 28 with a sterile barrier.
  • Each shaft 29 is superiorly solidly connected to a respective support organ 33 and is coupled inferiorly with the cam 36 by means of a wheel 27.
  • Means for positioning 37 are provided for positioning (on command) the cam 36 in a vertical direction. Further, fixed superiorly to each support organ 33 a contact element 39 is arranged such as to exert an upward pressure on the respective filler head 34 when contact is made there-between, which upward pressure is sufficient to cause the filler head 34 to open.
  • the contact element 39 is preferably forked, and a bottle neck 5' of a bottle to be filled is inserted into the fork.
  • the means for positioning comprise one or more vertical-axis jacks 37 arranged below the cam 36 externally of the sterile zone 30a. Each jack 37 is provided with a vertical-axis rack and a command mechanism, not illustrated. The mechanism can be operated by hand using a gripping organ or crank 38. The upper end of the rack presses on the base of the cam 36 to be lifted.
  • the cam 36 acts on the support organs 33 and consequently on the contact element 39 provided for interacting with the respective filler head 34, opening same.
  • the capping group 40 comprises a vertical-axis central drive shaft 41 and a disc 42 which latter is fixed coaxially to the drive shaft 41 and is provided at a periphery thereof with means for sealing 43 with an upper wall 4b of the relative sterile chamber 40a.
  • the capping group 40 comprises a plurality of rods 44 inferiorly provided with a chuck 45 for capping a respective bottle 3. Each rod 44 is set in rotation by the drive shaft 41 and is mobile on command in a vertical direction passing sealedly through a respective hub 48 with sterile barrier solidly mounted on the disc 42.
  • the capping group 40 is further provided with a cap feed line 46 along which the caps 47 undergo a sterilization operation.
  • the filler heads 34 are supplied with a sterilization fluid.
  • the cam 36 is lifted in order to raise the relative support organs 33 and, consequently, the contact elements 39 which latter exert an upwards pressure against the filler heads 34 which is sufficient to open the filler heads 34.
  • the group is operated in this manner for the length of time necessary for sterilizing the dispensing pipes 35 through which during normal functioning the product to be bottled passes.
  • the sterilization fluid flows into the chamber 30a and is collected at the bottom thereof. If necessary more than one sterilization and washing liquid can be dispensed.
  • the jacks 37 are brought into a lowered position so that the contact elements 39 do not interact with the filler heads 34.
  • the operators stay out of the sterile zones and can thus gain easy access to the motor and the mobile organs of the plant without having to don protective garb.
  • the sterile chamber 10a of the sterilizing group is kept at a slightly lower temperature with respect to the other sterile chambers, the eventuality of passage of gas into the other chambers can be precluded. This prevents the sterilization fluids injected into the sterile chamber 10a from spreading into the adjacent chambers.
