Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for sterile or germ-free filling of a provided with an inner film Packaging, in particular a folding box, for powdery, granular, pasty products or for liquids, especially food.
  • the invention also relates to a device for carrying it out of the procedure.
  • the cartons or boxes are bottlers with the glued-in composite film that still has a tubular shape and therefore at both ends is open on the packaging machines in the form brought and with a pouring / pouring spout (see e.g. EP 0 273 102 B1). Then after a Seal the inner film with the packaging desired product or liquid over the spout filled. Finally, the spout is closed.
  • bag-in-box A so-called "bag-in-box” system is also known, being bag-shaped foils with sealed filling and Outlet nozzle filled with the product and then Add a cardboard box for transport become. This method is also relative in practice cumbersome to use and only for larger containers suitable.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object a process for sterile or aseptic filling of products and liquids to create the sterility or sterility to the consumer is guaranteed, and being the procedure especially for smaller containers and thus smaller ones Amounts of consumption, such as for a private household, are suitable.
  • One of the essential features of the invention is in sealing the adapter ring to the inside the slide. This measure leaves the inner film unchanged and has none at this time Opening for a filler or filler neck. Much more is the opening of the adapter ring through the inner film completed.
  • Gluing or sealing the adapter ring with the inner film could in principle already at Production of the folding box with the inside arranged Inner film done, but in a very This takes place in an advantageous embodiment of the invention in connection with the filling process, because on this The manufacturing process of the folding box is not like this disturbed by a longer adhesive or sealing process and it is also the easiest way to achieve sterility realize. This is because the connection is made of the adapter ring in a correspondingly designed Packaging and filling machine, can at the same time sterility in connection with appropriate radiation equipment can be achieved.
  • connection of the adapter ring with the inner foil done by heat sealing, so this is Automatically a sterility or sterilization reached.
  • Heat sealing is special then suitable if as material for the adapter ring Polyethylene is used and the inner film on the The side facing the adapter ring is also made of polyethylene consists. In this case there is a heat seal in the range of 150 ° C, which automatically means a Germ killing is achieved.
  • a grooved part e.g. a piercing sleeve cuts open the opening of the adapter ring and for a tight connection of the lancing sleeve taken care of with the adapter ring.
  • Fig. 1 is a folding box 1 as packaging shown in the folded state.
  • the Folding box 1 is a composite film in a known manner 2 in tube form, i.e. with the end faces still open, which later represent the top and bottom, glued. In this condition, the folding box space-saving from the manufacturer to the bottler transported.
  • An opening 3 is punched into the cardboard, but over the opening the inner film 2 is drawn on the inside.
  • FIG. 2 shows the folding box 1 in an erected position Condition as they appear in several at the bottler Steps are treated and bottled.
  • the inner film 2 is a composite film made of polyester and polyethylene. Instead of polyester, polyamide could also be used or polypropylene can be used. Even the adapter ring 4 is made of polyethylene. The adapter ring 4 will aligned with the opening 3 on the inside of the composite film 2 created and in a known manner at 150 ° C with the Polyethylene side of the composite film 2 sealed. there the composite film 2 stretches "unharmed" over the Ring opening 5 of the adapter ring 4.
  • FIG. 4 shows the sealed adapter ring with dashed lines 4. From the same figure it can be seen that for irradiation, two UV rods arranged side by side 6 from above into the interior of the folding box 1 can be inserted and pushed through. Possibly can also be just one UV stick or more than two UV sticks be provided. Other types of blasting devices are possible.
  • Figures 5 and 6 show the position and the transport the folding box 1 after the first irradiation through the UV rods 6 to ensure sterility or sterilization to reach.
  • 1 more UV rods 6 above the folding box arranged for radiation. 5 are tabs 7 of the folding box 1 on the underside curved outside. From Fig. 6 it can be seen that the tubular inner film 2 on the underside Heat sealing is closed.
  • Fig. 7 shows a closed on the bottom Folding box 1 and for further sterilization again UV rods 6, which in the interior of the Folding box 1 are introduced. In addition, you can even more UV rods for the radiation in the upper one Area. This applies in particular to the UV rods 6 between the station of FIGS. 7 and the subsequent station according to FIG. 8, in which one Filling the interior of the inner film 2 with the desired one Product or liquid from a no closer shown filling device 8 takes place.
  • Fig. 9 shows in principle with the flaps unfolded 7 the top face, sealing the inner film 2 on the top after completion of the filling with the product or with the liquid. simultaneously there is another one for security reasons Irradiation by UV lamps in rod form 6.
  • the folding box 1 as packaging can be on the outside also made of a paper-polyethylene composite a paper-aluminum-polyethylene composite or the like consist.
  • the filling and sterilization process even under overpressure with a sterile gas e.g. Nitrogen or Carbon dioxide
  • a sterile gas e.g. Nitrogen or Carbon dioxide
  • the opening ratio are selected so that an overpressure is maintained, e.g. in that the outlet openings are smaller than the entry openings.
  • This procedure will also Called "laminar flow”. This way the intrusion of contaminated air, e.g. Spores, germs or other contaminants.
  • Fig. 11 shows a detail of an enlarged view the filled folding box 1 at the consumer with a piercing part, e.g. a spout 9.
  • the spike 9 is with one or two Cutting edges 10, possibly also with more Cutting edges 10, provided on the front.
  • the insertion spout 9 is hollow on the inside and offers in this way a spout 12, making it at the same time serves as an outlet nozzle.
  • the Puncture grommet 9 with a rear ring shoulder 13 a connecting hose (not shown) that is pushed over the ring shoulder 13, connected.
  • a spout can then be placed over the connecting hose respectively.
  • a connecting hose can of course also be a thread with a Closure cap may be provided or a metering pump. Also a spray head or an outlet tap or outlet valve are possible.
  • the adapter ring 4 When screwing in the spout 9 into the opening 5 the adapter ring 4 is also to ensure that a tight connection between the adapter ring 4 and the Piercing sleeve 9 is created.
  • This can e.g. thereby be achieved that the spout 9 in the front Area is provided with an external thread 14, that in a manner not shown via threaded sections 15 connected to the inner circumference of the adapter ring 4 is, wherein the threaded portions in an advantageous manner 15 and thus a tight connection is achieved that the thread 14 at a corresponding Elasticity of the adapter ring 4 in the threaded sections 15 when screwing in the direction of arrow 11 corresponding Cuts thread.
