Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne une installation de conditionnement aseptique.The present invention relates to an installation of aseptic packaging.
On sait que pour assurer une conservation longue durée de denrées alimentaires sans soumettre celles-ci à des conditions particulière de réfrigération il est nécessaire que les denrées alimentaires soient conditionnées de façon aseptique c'est-à-dire sans introduction de germe dans le récipient pendant les différentes phases du conditionnement. Afin d'assurer un conditionnement aseptique on sait en particulier qu'il est nécessaire de soumettre la ligne de machines assurant le conditionnement à une ambiance stérile généralement obtenue en réalisant un flux d'air filtré s'écoulant verticalement sur la ligne de machines.We know that to ensure long-term preservation foodstuffs without subjecting them to conditions particular refrigeration it is necessary that foodstuffs are conditioned in such a way aseptic that is to say without introduction of germ into the container during the different phases of packaging. In order to ensure aseptic packaging we know in particular that it is necessary to submit the line of machines ensuring the conditioning to a sterile environment generally obtained by performing a stream of filtered air flowing vertically on the machine line.
Les installations de conditionnement aseptique existantes comportent une cabine réalisant autour de la ligne de machines une enceinte de conditionnement présentant un degré d'asepsie élevé, la cabine étant elle-même disposée dans une seconde enceinte présentant un second degré d'asepsie moins élevé que le premier degré d'asepsie et dans laquelle est disposé le pupitre de commande de la ligne de machines. Afin d'assurer le degré d'asepsie requis un flux d'air filtré, par exemple de l'air en classe 10.000 est introduit par le plafond de l'enceinte de commande et s'écoule verticalement dans celle-ci selon un débit suffisant pour assurer une légère surpression de l'enceinte de commande par rapport à l'environnement extérieur. L'air de l'enceinte de commande est repris par un dispositif de filtration disposé dans le plafond de la cabine pour assurer dans celle-ci un flux d'air vertical d'un degré d'asepsie plus élevé que dans la salle de commande, par exemple un flux d'air en classe 100, le débit étant suffisant pour assurer une légère surpression de l'enceinte de conditionnement par rapport à l'enceinte de commande. Existing aseptic packaging facilities have a cab realizing around the line machines a packaging chamber with a degree of asepsis, the cabin itself being arranged in a second enclosure with a second degree of asepsis less than the first degree of asepsis and in which is arranged the control console of the line of machines. To ensure the degree of asepsis required a stream of filtered air, for example air in class 10.000 is introduced through the ceiling of the control enclosure and flows vertically into it at a sufficient flow rate to ensure a slight overpressure of the enclosure of control over the external environment. Looks like the control chamber is taken over by a filtration device arranged in the ceiling of the cabin to ensure in it a vertical airflow of a degree of asepsis higher than in the control room, for example a class 100 airflow, the flow rate being sufficient to ensure slight overpressure of the packaging chamber compared to the control enclosure.
La structure de l'ensemble est relativement complexe et d'un coût élevé en raison des deux organes de filtration utilisés.The structure of the whole is relatively complex and high cost because of the two filter organs used.
On connaít également du document GB-A-1 220 959 un dispositif de conditionnement aseptique comportant une enceinte de conditionnement stérile entourant la machine de conditionnement et reliée à un dispositif de filtration, et une enceinte de contrôle recevant les organes de commande à distance de la machine et possédant une paroi commune avec l'enceinte de conditionnement. Une porte est agencée sur la paroi commune pour permettre la communication entre les deux enceintes. L'enceinte de commande a une fonction de sas entre l'enceinte de conditionnement et l'extérieur. Ce sas n'est pas lui-même relié au dispositif de filtration de sorte que la pollution extérieure est susceptible de contaminer le sas, cette contamination risquant de se transmettre à l'enceinte de conditionnement lors de l'ouverture de la porte.Document GB-A-1,220,959 is also known from Aseptic packaging device comprising an enclosure sterile packaging surrounding the machine conditioning and connected to a filtration device, and a control chamber receiving the control organs to distance from the machine and having a common wall with the packaging chamber. A door is arranged on the common wall to allow communication between two speakers. The control speaker has a function of between the conditioning chamber and the outside. This sas is not itself connected to the filtration device of so that the outside pollution is likely to contaminate the airlock, this contamination likely to be transmitted at the packaging chamber at the opening of the door.
Selon l'invention, on propose une installation de conditionnement aseptique comprenant d'une part une enceinte de conditionnement renfermant une ligne de machines de conditionnement disposée sur un plancher formant une des parois de l'enceinte de conditionnement, un organe de filtration étant relié à l'enceinte de conditionnement pour y créer une surpression, et d'autre part une enceinte de commande ayant une paroi commune avec l'enceinte de conditionnement, cette paroi commune étant ajourée pour permettre l'établissement d'un flux d'air filtré depuis l'enceinte de conditionnement vers l'enceinte de commande.According to the invention, a packaging installation is proposed aseptic comprising on the one hand an enclosure packaging containing a line of packaging machines arranged on a floor forming one of the walls of the conditioning chamber, a filtering member being connected to the conditioning enclosure for create an overpressure, and secondly a control speaker having a wall common with the conditioning chamber, this common wall being perforated to allow the establishment of a stream of filtered air from the enclosure of conditioning to the control enclosure.
Ainsi, tout en utilisant un seul dispositif de filtration, l'enceinte de commande est elle-même constamment maintenue en surpression par rapport à l'environnement extérieur, et on minimise donc le risque de pénétration de pollution dans l'enceinte de conditionnement. Thus, while using a single filtration device, the control enclosure is itself constantly maintained in overpressure with respect to the external environment, and therefore minimizes the risk of penetration of pollution in the conditioning chamber.
Selon une version avantageuse de l'invention, l'installation comporte un circuit de recyclage d'air depuis l'enceinte de commande vers l'organe de filtration.According to an advantageous version of the invention, the installation includes an air recirculation circuit from the control enclosure to the filter member.
Ainsi on minimise l'encrassement du dispositif de filtrage de sorte que la maintenance de celui-ci peut être réduite.Thus, the fouling of the filtering device is minimized so that the maintenance of it can be reduced.
Selon un autre aspect avantageux de l'invention, l'enceinte de conditionnement entoure l'enceinte de commande sur au moins deux côtés de celle-ci. On minimise ainsi l'encombrement au sol de l'installation de conditionnement tout en permettant un accès direct à la ligne de machine depuis l'enceinte de commande.According to another advantageous aspect of the invention, the enclosure of packaging surrounds the control enclosure on at least two sides thereof. It minimizes the footprint of the packaging plant while allowing direct access to the machine line from the control enclosure.

- la figure 1 est une vue schématique de dessus d'une installation de conditionnement selon l'invention ;
- la figure 2 est une vue en coupe schématique selon la ligne II-II de la figure 1 ;
- Figure 1 is a schematic top view of a packaging installation according to the invention;
- Figure 2 is a schematic sectional view along the line II-II of Figure 1;
En référence aux figures l'installation de conditionnement

De façon connue en soi l'installation de conditionnement
comporte un convoyeur 18 introduisant les récipients
dans l'enceinte de conditionnement et une série de machines
telles qu'un carrousel 19 de nettoyage externe des récipients,
un carrousel 20 de stérilisation interne des récipients,
un carrousel 21 de vidange et de séchage des récipients,
un carrousel 22 de remplissage des récipients, un
carrousel 23 de bouchage des récipients, et un convoyeur 24
d'évacuation des récipients remplis, les récipients étant
transférés d'une machine à l'autre par des étoiles de

Les différentes machines et les étoiles de transfert sont entraínées par des organes d'entraínement 26 montés sous le plancher. Ces organes d'entraínement comportent de préférence une ligne d'engrenages. A cet effet on peut prévoir une seule ligne d'engrenages tous associés les uns aux autres et entraínés par un seul moteur d'entrainement ou une série de lignes d'engrenages. Dans le cas d'une série de lignes d'engrenages chaque ligne d'engrenages est entraínée de préférence par un moteur électrique et les différentes lignes d'engrenages sont synchronisées en mesurant un décalage de phase sur l'alimentation des moteurs d'entraínement. Different machines and transfer stars are driven by 26 mounted drive members under the floor. These training members comprise of preferably a line of gears. For this purpose we can predict a single line of gears all associated with each other others and driven by a single drive motor or a series of gear lines. In the case of a series of gear lines each gear line is driven preferably by an electric motor and the different gear lines are synchronized by measuring a phase shift on the power of the drive motors.
En fonctionnement, un flux d'air filtré au degré requis
est propulsé verticalement depuis les organes de filtration
17 autour des machines disposées à l'aplomb de
ceux-ci comme indiqué par les flèches en trait épais sur la
figure 2. En raison de la surpression dans l'enceinte de
conditionnement par rapport à l'enceinte de commande, l'air
filtré s'écoule par les ouvertures 12 des éléments de parois
11 et pénètre dans l'enceinte de commande 3 où un opérateur
assure la commande de la ligne de machine au moyen
d'un pupitre 27. L'air de l'enceinte de commande est ensuite
recyclé vers l'enceinte de conditionnement par l'extracteur
15 et le conduit de liaison 16. On remarquera à ce
propos que l'air pénétrant dans l'enceinte de commande est
à un degré d'asepsie moindre que l'air dans l'enceinte de
conditionnement en raison du passage de l'air sur les machines
mais le degré d'asepsie dans l'enceinte de commande
reste néanmoins suffisant pour permettre à l'opérateur
d'ouvrir une des portes coulissantes 13 et d'accéder à une
machine en cas de besoin. Lors d'une intervention sur les
organes d'entraínement un technicien peut accéder directement
à ceux-ci du côté des parois 7.In operation, a filtered airflow to the required degree
is propelled vertically from the
Bien entendu l'invention n'est pas limitée au mode de réalisation décrit et on peut y apporter des variantes de réalisation sans sortir du cadre de l'invention tel que défini par les revendications.Of course, the invention is not limited to the mode of realization described and can be made variants of realization without departing from the scope of the invention as defined by the claims.
En particulier bien que l'installation de conditionnement aseptique selon l'invention ait été illustrée en relation avec une enceinte de conditionnement en L entourant l'enceinte de commande sur deux côtés, on peut prévoir une enceinte de conditionnement rectiligne, l'enceinte de commande s'étendant alors sur un côté de celle-ci, ou au contraire une enceinte de conditionnement en forme de U, l'enceinte de commande étant disposée de façon centrale ce qui permet de minimiser l'encombrement de l'installation pour une ligne de machines particulièrement longue. In particular although the conditioning facility aseptic according to the invention has been illustrated in relation with an L-shaped packaging enclosure surrounding the control enclosure on two sides, one can provide a rectilinear conditioning enclosure, the control enclosure then extending on one side of it, or on the contrary a U-shaped packaging chamber, the enclosure centrally located which minimizes the size of the installation for a particularly long line of machines.
Bien que dans le mode de réalisation illustré l'enceinte
de conditionnement 4 comporte un plancher 8 qui est
surélevé par rapport au sol de l'enceinte de commande, on
peut prévoir dans l'enceinte de commande un plancher se
trouvant au même niveau que celui de l'enceinte de conditionnement
afin de faciliter le passage d'un opérateur de
l'enceinte de commande à l'enceinte de conditionnement.
Dans la mesure où la surpression dans l'enceinte de commande
est suffisamment forte on peut prévoir des ouvertures
dans la partie basse 10 des parois 2 de façon à projeter de
l'air filtré sur les organes d'entraínement dans une direction
éloignant la pollution.Although in the illustrated embodiment the speaker
