Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method or a device according to the preamble of patent claim 1 or 4.
  • a device designed in the manner of a rinser in which the bottle grippers are provided on a machine part or rotor revolving around a vertical axis and the bottles which are gripped by the bottle grippers and initially face downwards are turned outward by radial pivoting be so that the bottles are after turning with the bottle mouth over a nozzle opening forming a nozzle tube for the treatment medium.
  • This nozzle tube is at least when the treatment is carried out with a gaseous or vaporous treatment medium, introduced through the bottle mouth from below into the interior of the used bottle. Problems often arise with respect to the required sterility of the treated bottles, especially with respect to the sterility of the bottle mouth.
  • the medium used in the aftertreatment can also serve to remove residues or drops of a liquid treatment medium (eg water) that have reached the bottle mouth or to prevent such drops or residues from getting into the bottle.
  • a liquid treatment medium eg water
  • This aftertreatment which takes place with the sterilization medium (eg water vapor) or with sterile air, becomes before the turning back and / or the turning back the bottle is made in its original starting position and thus prevents that in this turning residues of a treatment medium and get into the interior of the bottle with these germs.
  • the media are guided in these rotary machines via rotary valves to the individual nozzles, as known from DE A1 35 04 999.
  • rinsers are used to blow out newly blown or supplied by supply pallets new bottles before the filling process or to apply sterile air.
  • pure plastic bottles whose reasoned by electrostatic charge recording of dirt particles in the ambient air is difficult to prevent.
  • the strong adhesion of these dirt particles means that, despite careful and intensive rinsing, residual particles can repeatedly remain in or on the bottle and lead to complaints.
  • the invention has for its object to counteract the electrostatic charging of such bottles or the inclusion of positive or negative electrical charge to the environment.
  • the discharge electrode is formed as a tip and arranged on the nozzle edge.
  • Each incoming bottle 2 is detected and turned by a bottle gripper 7 provided on the rotor 1, so that the bottle bottom 2 'finally faces upwards and the bottle mouth 2''downwards.
  • This turning which takes place in a first angular region I following the inlet star 4, takes place in such a way that the respective bottle 2 with its bottle bottom 2 'is pivoted radially outwards.
  • the bottle 2 is treated in a further, subsequent angle range II.
  • a subsequent angular range III of the rotary movement of the rotor 1 the respective bottle 2 is returned to its original position and placed on the rotor 1.
  • the curve 8, shown with a broken line shows the vertical projection of the lower region of the bottles 2 when the rotor 1 rotates.
  • each bottle gripper 7 is associated with a vertical nozzle tube 9 forming a treatment position.
  • the nozzle tubes 9 are offset on the rotor 1 at equal angular intervals about its axis of rotation or provided on an element, not shown, of the bottle gripper 7, so that each nozzle tube 9 is detected at one of the associated bottle gripper 7 and turned bottle 2 below this turned bottle, and although coaxially or approximately coaxially with the axis of the inverted bottle 2, as shown in FIG. 2.
  • Each nozzle tube 9 has a nozzle channel 10 with an upper outlet or nozzle opening 11 and is displaceable in a vertical direction in a bearing and distributor element 12 for a given stroke, by an actuating element 13, which in the illustrated embodiment is formed by a pneumatic cylinder is.
  • each nozzle tube 9 is connected to a line 15 for warm water. Furthermore, each nozzle tube 9 is connected via the distributor element 12 and an individually controllable valve 18 to a line 17 for carrying out steam.
  • Fig. 2 shows at the lower end of the nozzle tube 9, a control valve 18, with which the respective nozzle tube 9 and the local channel can be emptied.
  • the valves 14, 16 and 18 are, for example, electrically or pneumatically operated valves.
  • the device consists of the nozzle tube 9 with nozzle channel 10, wherein in this extended nozzle channel 10, a discharge electrode 19 is arranged, with which a charge equalization of the bottle material can be made.
  • the medium used is charged with positively and / or negatively charged ions for complete charge equalization.
  • the discharge electrode 19 is formed as a tip and arranged at the front nozzle edge.
  • the nozzle tube 9 serve as grounding and / or reinforcement of the ion production.
  • the high-voltage cable 20 is guided in a glass tube 21 cast and resistant to corona partial discharges.
  • the discharge electrode 19 is height-adjustable with the nozzle tube 9 via a lifting element 13, so that both the outer shell of the bottles 2 and the interior thereof can be treated.
