Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for filling and closing containers, preferably of bottles, in the case of containers filled in a filling device a cap-like closure element which can be placed on the mouth end of a container forming a sealing press fit between the closure element and the container are closed and a suitable one Closure.
  • Such methods and devices are used primarily in the beverage industry used for filling and closing bottles, being used as a closure element mostly a so-called crown cap is used.
  • a crown cap is used.
  • the tightness of the Closure high demands are made. Accordingly, between the crown cork and the bottle to be closed have a high sealing pressure required.
  • closure devices that are as close as possible can be installed at the filling device or can be integrated into the filling device, so that the containers are closed as soon as possible after filling can.
  • the Closing device only a single device for pressing the closures in the container necks, which is a complicated construction with considerable space requirements forms and has such a height that it is not possible to use the closing device in the immediate vicinity of those for handing over the filled containers from to arrange the bottle filling machine at a specific point on the star discharge rotor.
  • the filled and not yet closed containers therefore go through a relatively long distance before they are closed. The result is, that the liquid is in contact with the atmosphere during this path and due to this surface contact of the liquid with the ambient air unwanted oxygen uptake occurs and no hygienic Conditions are guaranteed.
  • a method of the type mentioned is also from DE-AS 17 82 348 known.
  • this publication there is a method for closing bottles with Plastic caps described in two phases, the plastic caps in the first phase only so far that the side The aprons of the plastic caps cover the thickest area of the muzzle Just hold the bottle and push it open in the second phase, so that the plastic cap closures with their front or bottom part against come to the mouth of the bottles.
  • the inventive method is characterized by the features of the claims 1 to 4 and the subclaims.
  • a suitable screw cap is proposed in independent training, which is characterized in that the bottles with one of several parts existing closure are closed and a first part of this closure immediately after filling and / or foaming the bottles applied the bottle mouth, cleaning the mouth and then on which the main closure is applied, with both closure parts Adhesive-free with each other and as a complete adhesive unit from the bottle are removable.
  • the containers are treated in a normal filling machine, for example flushed with CO 2 , evacuated, pre-stressed and filled with the contents.
  • a transfer star is located in the outlet area, the star pockets of which at least partially enclose the containers and are discharged onto a conveyor designed as an apron conveyor.
  • the liquid is foamed in this transfer star in order to drive out the oxygen in the bottle neck.
  • the mouths 1 of the bottles are sealed with a first part 2 of a closure 3 and subsequently sprayed with spray liquid, so that the foam residues can be removed and the subsequent second part 4 of the closure 3 in a hygienically perfect manner can be screwed on.
  • the first part 2 of the closure 3 is made, for example, in the towing process taken over a feed trough and pressed onto the mouth. After cleaning of the mouth area can then open the second part 4 of the closure 3 conventional way, for example by means of screw cappers.
  • the first part 2 of this closure 3 is preferably designed as a cap and encloses the upper mouth of a container after being put on.
  • the second outer part 4 is applied as the actual main closure. This has on its inner end face a recess 5 into which the cap 2 is inserted and centered or pinched during application.
  • Such Clamping can e.g. B. by the deformation of the end face of the cap 2 or by appropriate expansion of deformable wall parts of cap 2 or also take place from corresponding parts of the main closure.
  • an elevation 6 is provided on the lower end face of the outer part 4, which acts on the end face of the inner part 2 and thus a clamping or deformation caused for clamping.
  • the clamp connection can still be supported be that the outer diameter of the first part 2 is larger than the inner diameter of the internal thread 7 of the outer part 4.
  • the closure without additional equipment, preferably directly in the capping machine 8 applied to the mouth 1.
  • the sealing Part 2 'of the closure as shown in Fig. 3, in the lower region of the actual cap 2 and is taken over by the closure heads first placed sealingly on the muzzle end.
  • This sealing process can by pressing or by directly pressing the sealing part 2 ' take place so that the final closure of the bottle mouth already takes place. in the This can be followed by a cleaning treatment of the outer mouth Spray devices 9 take place, whereupon the outer cap 2 is applied or screwed on.
  • corresponding contours on the jacket of the sealing part 2 'of the closure can be provided, which is a problem Allow screwing and a corresponding firm connection of both Secure parts 2 'and 4 after locking.
  • the spray devices 9 can be stationary or rotating with the closure heads or be arranged in these.
