Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Flaschenreinigungsmaschine mit einer Auf- und Abgabestation und mehreren in Durchlaufrichtung der Flaschen angeordneten Behandlungsstationen sowie einem Absaugkanal für Schwaden oder andere Luftmassen.The invention relates to a bottle washer with an opening and Dispensing station and several treatment stations arranged in the direction of flow of the bottles and a suction channel for swaths or other air masses.
Es ist bekannt, den Schwaden, der im Inneren von Flaschenreinigungsmaschinen verstärkt auftritt, vor der Flaschenabgabe durch entsprechende Kaltwassernachspritzungen niederzuschlagen oder den Schwaden noch vor der Flaschenabgabe aus dem Inneren der Maschine abzusaugen. Hierzu sind Abzugskanäle vorgesehen, die unter Einbindung eines Ventilators den im Maschinenbereich anfallenden Schwaden ansaugen und ins Freie abführen. Solche Kanäle sind meist unmittelbar vor dem Austritt der Flaschen aus der Reinigungsmaschine angeordnet, wodurch die im Abgabebereich anstehende Luft ebenfalls angesaugt und über die abgegebenen Flaschen hinweg in das Innere der Maschine geleitet wird. Diese meist biologisch nicht einwandfreie Luft gelangt dabei auch in den Bereich der Flaschen und kann durch ihre Keimhaltigkeit möglicherweise zu einer Reinfektion der befüllten Flaschen führen.It is known the swath that is inside bottle washers occurs more frequently before the bottle is dispensed by appropriate cold water post-injections knock down or swath out before the bottle is dispensed vacuum the inside of the machine. Discharge channels are provided for this purpose with the inclusion of a fan, the swaths accumulating in the machine area suck in and discharge outside. Such channels are usually immediately before Outlet of the bottles arranged from the cleaning machine, which means that in the dispensing area air is also sucked in and dispensed through the bottles is directed into the inside of the machine. Mostly not biologically impeccable air also gets into the area of the bottles and can pass through their germination may lead to reinfection of the filled bottles.
Behälterwaschmaschinen, insbesondere Hochleistungswaschmaschinen für die Kellereiindustrie, weisen schließlich als wesentliche Reinigungsstation eine sogenannte Laugenstation auf, in der die zu reinigenden Behälter in einen Laugenbehälter eingetaucht werden, der mit Reinigungslauge gefüllt ist. Üblicherweise wird eine wäßrige Lösung von NaOH als Lauge verwendet. Zur Steigerung der Reinigungswirkung ist der Laugenbehälter beheizt, um die Laugentemperatur auf beispielsweise 80°C zu halten.Container washing machines, in particular high-performance washing machines for the winery industry, finally have a so-called essential cleaning station Alkaline station in which the containers to be cleaned are immersed in an alkaline container be filled with detergent solution. Usually an aqueous one Solution of NaOH used as lye. To increase the cleaning effect the tub is heated to raise the tub temperature to, for example, 80 ° C hold.
Zu reinigende Behälter weisen häufig Aluminiumausstattungen auf. Beispielsweise sind Eindrittelliter-Kronkorkenbierflaschen üblicherweise im Kopfbereich mit einer sogenannten Aluminiumkapsel versehen, deren größter Teil bei der Reinigung noch vorhanden ist. Auch Etiketten können ganz oder teilweise aus Aluminium bestehen. Containers to be cleaned often have aluminum fittings. For example three-liter bottle caps are usually in the head area with a so-called aluminum capsule provided, the majority of which still during cleaning is available. Labels can also consist entirely or partially of aluminum.
Aluminium wird in Lauge, insbesondere in heißer Lauge, schnell aufgelöst. Dieser Effekt ist zur Entfernung der Aluminiumreste durchaus erwünscht. Es entsteht dabei aber Wasserstoffgas (H2), das aus der Lauge in den darüber befindlichen Gasraum entweicht. Mit dem dort vorhandenen Luftsauerstoff bildet sich dann sehr schnell (bei H2-Konzentrationen oberhalb etwa 4%) ein zündfähiges Knallgasgemisch, das heftige Explosionen hervorrufen kann.Aluminum is quickly dissolved in lye, especially in hot lye. This effect is quite desirable to remove the aluminum residues. However, this produces hydrogen gas (H 2 ), which escapes from the alkali into the gas space above. With the atmospheric oxygen present there, an ignitable mixture of oxyhydrogen is formed very quickly (at H 2 concentrations above about 4%), which can cause violent explosions.
Im Stand der Technik sind daher Wasserstoffbeseitigungseinrichtungen bekannt, die aus Sicherheitsgründen zwingend erforderlich sind. Bei den bekannten Behälterwaschmaschinen der eingangs genannten Art sind zur Beseitigung des Wasserstoffgases Absaugeinrichtungen vorgesehen, die unter Ansaugen von Frischluft Gas aus dem Gasraum über dem Laugenbehälter absaugen und ins Freie blasen.Hydrogen removal devices are therefore known in the prior art which are absolutely necessary for security reasons. In the known container washing machines of the type mentioned are for eliminating the hydrogen gas Suction devices are provided, which draw in gas while drawing in fresh air Vacuum the gas space above the tub and blow it outside.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Vorrichtung aufzuzeigen, mit der die in einer Reinigungsmaschine anfallenden und zu beseitigenden Luftmassen gezielter und breitflächiger angesaugt und abgeleitet werden können.The object of the invention is to demonstrate a device with which in a cleaning machine accumulating and eliminating air masses more targeted and broad can be sucked in and drained.
Diese Aufgabe wird bei einer Flaschenreinigungsmaschine der eingangs genannten Art dadurch gelöst, daß der Absaugkanal mindestens teilweise mit einer schlitzförmigen Ansaugöffnung ausgebildet ist, die quer und/oder längs im Reinigungsmaschinengehäuse verläuft und als Teil einer eine Drallströmung erzeugenden Wirbelhaube ausgebildet ist.This task is the bottle cleaning machine of the aforementioned Art solved in that the suction channel at least partially with a slit-shaped Suction opening is formed, which is transverse and / or longitudinal in the cleaning machine housing runs and as part of a swirl hood generating a swirl flow is trained.
In selbständiger Ausbildung der Erfindung wird ferner vorgeschlagen, daß der Absaugkanal quer zur Bewegungsrichtung der Flaschen verläuft und als Wirbelhaube mit einer Wirbelsenkenabsaugung ausgebildet ist.In an independent development of the invention it is further proposed that the suction channel runs perpendicular to the direction of movement of the bottles and as a swirl hood is designed with a vertebral suction system.
Mit der erfindungsgemäßen Ausbildung ist eine besonders vorteilhafte Ableitung der aus dem Gehäuse einer Flaschenreinigungsmaschine zu entfernenden Gase, Schwaden, Luftmassen u.dgl. gewährleistet. Durch die aufgezeigte Ausführungsform können die Luftmassen schnell und gezielt auf der gesamten Breite des längs oder quer installierten Absaugkanals erfaßt und durch diesen abgeleitet werden. Die Durchsatzleistung des Absaugkanals ist der Maschinenleistung zweckmäßig automatisch anpaßbar. With the design according to the invention, a particularly advantageous derivation of gases to be removed from the housing of a bottle washer, Swaths, air masses and the like guaranteed. By the shown embodiment the air masses can be quickly and precisely along the entire width of the length or transversely installed suction channel detected and derived by this. The Throughput of the suction channel is appropriately automatic to the machine performance adaptable.
