Definitions

  • the present invention concerns filling containers like bottles and the like with liquids, and their subsequent capping.
  • known filling and capping machines driven in step, usually feature a conveying line for the containers to be filled, situated over the bed and feeding a rotary carrousel driven stepwise.
  • Liquid distributing means are situated over the said bed, in the region of the carrousel.
  • the containers filled with the liquid are moved to further working stations, in particular for caps application.
  • the throughput of these machines is usually low, mainly due to much time needed for filling the containers.
  • capping step is usually much shorter and therefore, would allow to increase the carrousel working speed.
  • the containers are filled by means of e.g. suitable distributing nozzles, introduced into the said containers when they stop in the above mentioned filling station.
  • the containers are filled in steps, i.e. filled with liquid by separate distributing nozzles placed in subsequent filling stations.
  • These distributing means are introduced simultaneously into a group of containers and are kept therein while the containers are brought to the capping station along the carrousel rotation arc. This rotation lasts substantially the time needed to fill the containers.
  • liquid distributing means are withdrawn and brought back to the initial position so as to be introduced in a subsequent group of containers, fed in the meantime to the carrousel by the conveying line.
  • the object of the present invention is to propose an apparatus that allows to fill and cap containers in a simple way and with a high throughput.
  • numeral 1 indicates the bed structure, which supports the rotary carrousel 2 of an apparatus for filling containers 3, e.g. bottles and the like with liquid and subsequently capping the already filled containers.
  • the rotary carrousel 2 is driven into a stepped movement by driving means, not shown.
  • Each single step of the carrousel 2 movement corresponds to the angular distance between the housings 4 made peripherally in the same carrousel 2 for engaging the containers 3.
  • the carrousel 2 is fed by a line 5 conveying the containers 3 which is situated over the bed 1, on the same plane as the carrousel 2.
  • a known containers singling device can be situated between the conveying line 5 and the carrousel 2.
  • the carrousel 2 carries the containers 3 to the filling station 6 and capping station 7.
  • the capping station 7 is equipped with capping means 8 for application of caps 9 to the containers 3.
  • the caps 9 are fed to the carrousel 2 by a feeding line 10.
  • the filling station 6 is equipped with suitable dosing elements 12 fed by a suitable tank, not shown, containing the liquid for filling the containers 3.
  • the containers 3 are filled by a group of distributing nozzles 13 connected to the respective dosing elements 12 by means of flexible pipes 14.
  • the nozzles 13 are carried by a mobile element 15 situated over the carrousel 2 and rotated stepwise in synchrony with the carrousel stepped movement when the containers 3 are being filled.
  • the mobile rotating element 15 includes substantially a circular section plate 16, coaxial with the carrousel 2, carrying the nozzles 13.
  • the circular section plate 16 is supported by a frame 17, driven into rotation, by not shown driving means, about the vertical axis of the carrousel 2.
  • a reciprocating actuator 18 drives the circular section plate 16 and moves it vertically with respect to the frame 17 between a raised position, in which the nozzles 13 are withdrawn from the containers 3 (fig. 6a), and a lowered position, in which the nozzles 13 are introduced into the containers 3 (fig. 6b).
  • the containers 3 to be filled, fed one by one by the conveying line 5, are transferred to the rotary carrousel 2 which subsequently brings them, with a step movement, to the filling station 6 and to the capping station 7.
  • the containers 3 When in the filling station 6, the containers 3 are connected to respective nozzles 13, supported by the mobile element 15.
  • the nozzles 13, initially arranged in the raised position, as shown with broken line 13a in fig. 5, are moved, by the vertical movement of the circular section plate 16 of the mobile element 15, to the lowered position, in which they are introduced into respective containers 3.
  • the moving element 15 carries a group of nozzles 13, spaced apart along the circular section 16.
  • the containers fed subsequently by the conveying line 5 are indicated with 3D, 3E and 3F (see fig. 1).
  • the mobile element 15 After the nozzles 13 have been introduced into the aforementioned containers 3A, 3B and 3C, the mobile element 15 performs its working stroke, in synchrony with the carrousel 2 movement, so as to follow the said containers during their filling.
  • one movement step of the containers 3A, 3B and 3C coincides with one movement step of the distributing nozzles 13, supported by the moving element 15.
  • the group of the nozzles 13 is brought to the raised position, so as to be withdrawn from the containers 3A, 3B and 3C, and the mobile element 15 performs its return idle stroke to return to the initial position, in direction opposite to the carrousel 2 movement direction, and fill a subsequent group of containers 3D, 3E and 3F.
  • the group of distributing nozzles 13 is brought back to the lowered position, so as to fill the subsequent group of containers 3D, 3E and 3F, in the previously described way (fig. 4).
  • the previously filled containers 3A, 3B and 3C move stepwise, carried by the carrousel 2, toward the capping station 7, where they are capped and then brought to the exit line 11.
  • the containers 3 filled with a determined amount of liquid are sent one by one to the capping station 7 and are capped separately with a cap 9 by capping means 8 of the aforementioned station 7 in time relation with the stepwise movement of the carrousel 2.
  • one single container 3 is capped.
  • capping means 8 it is also possible for the capping means 8 to provide a double cap on the containers 3, according to known techniques.
  • one of the features of the subject apparatus includes simple capping means which operate on one single container during each main cycle of the carrousel 2.
  • the described apparatus achieves the object of filling and capping containers in a simple and very productive way.
  • the containers are filled during the stepwise movement of the carrousel, the speed of which is determined by the capping means speed, so as a high throughput is obtained.
  • the containers are capped by simple capping means, which results in the apparatus simplicity and cost saving.
