  • Document EP-A-0731037 discloses a system for preserving a sterile environment of the Cap of a pouch, the cap before the germicidal treatment of the empty bag is covered with a protective cap, and this protective cap is removed just before the bag is filled.
  • the aim of the invention is to create a method that meets the requirements of Food industry does justice by allowing food and beverages in an economical, environmentally friendly manner without significant restriction of Shelf life should also be kept in flexible packaging bags.
  • the starting material is a fully sealed, e.g. heat-sealed more flexible Packing bag with a permanently attached to it by welding Pouring insert, hereinafter referred to as a weld-in part, onto which a closure cap can be assembled by bouncing to a one defined by the weld-in part Seal the filling opening, which provides access to the inside of the bag, tightly.
  • a preferred packaging bag suitable for the method according to the invention described in more detail below.
  • the packaging bag can be, for example Take up volumes between 0.3 and 5.0 1, without restricting the Invention can be seen.
  • the germicidal treatment can be obtained from the manufacturer of the packaging bag or, if desired, immediately before inserting the packaging bag into the filling system.
  • goal of Treatment is to put the inside of the packaging bag in a sterile or at least to put aseptically as possible largely.
  • the germ-free Maintain condition for further treatment of the packaging bag even if between the germicidal and further treatment a longer period of e.g. some Days to several months.
  • a number of packaging bags pretreated as described above can be combined into one Transport package be summarized and is then in a storage magazine Filling system used, with a ring collar on the weld-in part offers an abutment by means of the packaging bag in a rail-like receptacle of the magazine of the bottling plant pushed in by hand or in any other way with the welding part pointing upwards can be.
  • the packaging bags are opened one after the other from the magazine of the filling system given a transport device, the ring collar for supporting the packaging bag During transport, the packaging bag is used in succession along a variety to move from stations where further treatment is carried out.
  • the transport device is preferably a turntable with a A large number of treatment stations arranged thereon.
  • a first Treatment station is the packaging bag with the first in the position
  • the cap is subjected to a germicidal external treatment by at least on the area of the packaging bag that includes the sealing cap and the weld-in part, a liquid disinfectant is sprayed on using a spray nozzle.
  • a liquid disinfectant can be any known in the food industry Act substance, so that a further explanation is unnecessary.
  • the packaging bag pretreated in this way is then transported to a station at which Grasp the cap and remove it from the weld-in part.
  • the removed one The sealing cap is led to a bypass transport path and temporarily stored there to be placed on the packaging bag again later.
  • the packaging bag then comes in with the cap removed a filling station at which a product to be filled, e.g. a food or drink into the interior of the packaging bag via the filler opening exposed on the weld-in part is introduced.
  • a product to be filled e.g. a food or drink into the interior of the packaging bag via the filler opening exposed on the weld-in part is introduced.
  • an inert gas e.g. Nitrogen, or steam, in another station introduced to expel residual air in the packaging bag and thereby one counteract undesired oxidation or other aging of the filling.
  • the closure cap is removed from the bypass transport path in a closing station taken by means of a gripping device and on the filled Put the packaging bag back on and fasten it so that the sealing cap is in the second sealing position comes to rest, in which it does not or only from the weld-in part removed again with considerable effort, possibly by destroying the welded-in part can be.
  • the last treatment step is followed by a drying treatment Hot air or steam in a drying station before being filled and hermetically sealed sealed packaging bags leave the bottling plant for further use.
  • treatment at least in the wards that remove the Sealing cap from the packaging bag, its filling with a product and the renewed Place the cap on the filled packaging bag, in one largely aseptic environment is made by these treatment stations be kept largely shielded from the outside environment.
  • the transport of the Packaging bags along the individual treatment stations and the ones made in them Treatments can be done automatically under the control of a process control device.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 there is a bag base part of the packaging bag with the reference number 1 provided and only shown in fragments.
  • the bag base part 1 can be any suitable one Outline configuration and made of any suitable germ-proof film material exist, which is a film made of plastic or metal foil e.g. Aluminum foil, or can be a composite film made of plastic and metal.
  • the packaging bag In the empty initial state the packaging bag is basically a substantially flat structure that with Advertising notices can be printed.
  • a dimensionally stable insert or weld-in part 2 in a slot-shaped Opening (not shown) of the bag base part 1 inserted and by welding with the Bag base part 1 hermetically sealed.
  • the weld-in part 2 is preferably through on the bag base part 1 Ultrasound welding attached.
  • Weld-on ribs can be attached to the weld-in part 2 be provided, which can be designed according to WO96 / 38349, to which therefore reference can be taken.
  • the weld-in part 2 comprises a tubular, from the bag base part 1 to the outside protruding neck region 3, which defines a passage passage 4, which connects between creates the inside of the bag base part 1 and the outside environment.
  • a closure cap 5 can be placed around the inlet opening of the neck area 3 hermetically sealed from the outside environment.
  • a cover part 6 can be articulated via a film hinge 7.
  • a sealing cone 8 stands from the cover part 7 and can seal in a funnel-shaped passage 9 in a bottom wall of the Insert the cap 5 when the cover part 6 is in the closed position.
  • a Tear-off tab 11 can be provided around the cover part 6 in the shown in the drawing To fix the closed position so that a movement of the Cover part can be made from the closed to the open position (not shown).
  • Another sealing cone 10 can be provided on the closure cap, which in the Inlet opening of the neck area 3 engages sealingly when the cap is in the 1 and 2 position shown relative to the neck area 3 is.
  • the closure cap 5 can be positioned in two positions relative to the neck area 3, wherein in both positions the passage 4 through the cap 5 opposite the Outside environment is sealed.
  • the two positions are due to the intervention of the cap-side ring collar 13 with first and second rear engagement areas on the neck area 3 of the welding part 2 defined.
