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 cleaning machine with an up and Dispensing station and several arranged in the direction of flow of the bottles treatment stations and a suction channel for steam 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. So eine Absaugseinrichtung ist von Dokument EP-A-0 590 509 bekannt. 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 well known the swaths inside of bottle washing machines occurs more intensively, before the bottle delivery by appropriate Kaltwassernachspritzungen knock down or the swaths before. The bottle delivery to suck the inside of the machine. For this purpose, discharge channels are provided, the with the involvement of a fan, the swaths occurring in the machine area suck in and remove to the outside. Such channels are usually immediately before Exit of the bottles from the cleaning machine arranged, whereby the in the delivery area Pending air sucked in and over the bottles delivered into the interior of the machine. Such a suction device is of document EP-A-0 590 509 known. These are not usually biological impeccable air gets into the area of the bottles and can through their germination may possibly 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 cellar industry, Finally, as an essential cleaning station a so-called Laugenstation on, immersed in the container to be cleaned in a tub which is filled with cleaning liquor. Usually, an aqueous Solution of NaOH used as lye. To increase the cleaning effect the tub is heated to the lye 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. To be cleaned containers often have aluminum equipment. For example For example, one-liter liter crown cork beer bottles are usually in the head area with one so-called aluminum capsule provided, the largest part of the cleaning yet is available. Even labels may 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 rapidly dissolved in lye, especially in hot liquor. This effect is quite desirable for removing the aluminum residues. However, it produces hydrogen gas (H 2 ), which escapes from the liquor into the gas space above it. With the atmospheric oxygen present there then forms very quickly (at H 2 concentrations above about 4%) an ignitable oxyhydrogen gas mixture, 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.In the prior art, therefore, hydrogen removal devices are known which for safety reasons are absolutely necessary. In the known container washing machines of the type mentioned are for the elimination of the hydrogen gas Extraction devices provided, the under suction of fresh air gas Extract the gas space above the tub and blow into the air.
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 provide a device with which in a cleaning machine accumulated and to be eliminated air masses more targeted and broader sucked and can be derived.
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 object is achieved in a bottle cleaning machine of the aforementioned Art solved by the fact that the suction channel at least partially with a slot-shaped Suction opening is formed, the transverse and / or longitudinal in the cleaning machine housing runs and as part of a vortex flow generating vortex hood 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 independent training of the invention is also proposed that the suction channel runs transversely to the direction of movement of the bottles and as a vortex hood is formed with a Vorbelsenkenabsaugung.
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 formation of the invention is a particularly advantageous derivation of gases to be removed from the housing of a bottle washing machine, Swaths, air masses and the like. guaranteed. By the embodiment shown The air masses can be fast and targeted on the entire width of the longitudinal or transversely installed suction ducts are detected and derived by this. The Throughput of the suction duct is the machine performance appropriate automatically adaptable.
