  • a filling machine is known for example from US-A-5 313 990.
  • Fruit and vegetable juices and beverages based on juices are used to obtain the required shelf life, i. to prevent infestation by microorganisms and the resulting rapid spoilage of the bottled product, pasteurized in a heater system and bottled or bottled while still hot. Immediately thereafter, the closure is done while the drink is still hot.
  • a critical temperature limit in which a sterile and germ-free filling, i. a kill of the beverage-damaging microorganisms is certainly guaranteed.
  • the filling material flows to the filling machine with a temperature which is adjusted so that adjusts itself to the filling elements, the contents of the filling leading parts as well as in the bottles, which in any case above the above-mentioned critical temperature limit lies. To ensure this, for example, the bottles are heated accordingly before their entry into the filling machine.
  • this hot hold circuit also includes the provided on the rotor of the filling machine Basin- or annular channel, to which the filling elements are connected, can not be prevented that these lying outside of the holding circuit filling elements and their contents leading parts, such as in particular Guelementgetude and possibly filling tube under cool the critical temperature. For this reason, it has hitherto been necessary for a longer interruption of the filling process (more than 3 to 5 minutes) in spite of the holding circuit for the contents that the filled in the first round of the filling machine after an interruption container are discarded and discarded, which, among other additional production costs means.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a method and a filling machine, which avoid this disadvantage and even after a prolonged temporary interruption of the filling process already at the first resumption of the filling process a bottling with a temperature above the critical temperature limit and thus ensure a germ-free and sterile filling Without having to be discharged after a break filled containers and discarded
  • a particular advantage of the filling machine according to the invention is that a safe, hygienic or germ-free and sterile filling of the filling material is realized immediately after an interruption of the filling process with particularly simple means, u.a. using filling elements which correspond structurally substantially already proven filling elements and need only be slightly modified for use in the invention.

  • both the limiting cylinder 15 and the lifting cylinder 13 are activated by appropriate control of the valves 20 and 21, so that the contents then reduced by a defined by the activated limiting cylinder 15 reduced opening gap of the liquid valve 8 and with a resulting reduced Flow rate flows into the bottle 5 and there soft and without foaming on the bottom of the bottle.
  • This low-turbulence, slow An Collllphase is maintained until the rising Medgutacious exceeds the lower end of the filling tube 10.
  • This slow filling phase is timed, using a timing, e.g. is stored for the respective bottling and / or the respective bottles 5 in a control device of the filling machine.

  • the application of the water vapor is then - controlled by the respective control valve 23 on each filling element 1 - in the predetermined angular range between the container outlet and the container inlet. But it is also possible to initiate the heating always when at a fault interruption is on the relevant filling element 1 no bottle 5, wherein the heating or keeping warm with the water vapor is stopped before after the termination of the interruption of the filling process to the relevant Filling element 1 again a bottle 5 passes.
  • the water vapor in the annular channel 4 also heats the e.g. consisting of steel rotor 2 and thus causes heat transfer to the contents in the annular channel 3, i. the steam in the annular channel 4 supports the heat retention of the contents in the hot holding circuit, wherein overheating of the filling material in the annular channel 3 is prevented by the product circulation in this channel and in the hot holding circuit.
