Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for treating, in particular for sterilizing packaging containers, in particular of plastic bottles, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the invention is based on the object, in the known Device without negative impact on the treatment significantly reduce design effort and space requirements.
  • the rotor relatively small and with few slots and nozzles will be realized; on it, for example, only the Injecting a sterilizing agent performed. After that leave the packaging container the rotor and can in Area of the intermediate conveyor transported arbitrarily long to allow the desired exposure times. Thereafter, the packaging containers reach the rotor again and are treated there again by the nozzles or the like. This procedure can be repeated several times.
  • the device according to FIGS. 1 and 2 is for sterilizing Packaging containers in the form of PET bottles for drinks, hereinafter referred to as bottles 1, set up.
  • she essentially comprises an injection machine 5, a Dishwasher (Rinser) 6 and one the two machines connecting conveyor 7.
  • the bottles to be sterilized 1 are the device by a feed belt 8 upright standing supplied; the sterilized bottles 1 are from the device by a discharge conveyor 9 upright dissipated.
  • the injection machine 5 has a stationary housing 10, on which a rotor in the form of a turntable 11 with vertical axis of rotation 12 is mounted.
  • a number of Accommodations in the form of elastic gripper tongs 13 according to rigidly attached to European Patent 721,808.
  • This Tongs 13 hold the bottles 1 below the Collar in upright position and with the mouth behind pointing up while standing with the turntable 11 on one Circulating circular arc.
  • the supply and discharge of upright standing bottles 1 to the grippers 13 of the turntable eleventh done by an inlet star 15, an outlet star 16 and a guide arc 17, as in said European Patent 721,808.
  • pivoting the bottles by 180 ° does not take place. These keep their upright normal position throughout.
  • On the turntable 11 of the injection machine 5 is further a Number of two-component atomizing nozzles with one Spray angle of approx. 20 °, in the following short mixing nozzles 2 called, rigidly attached. More precisely, about everyone Tongs 13 concentric with one held by this Bottle 1 each a mixing nozzle 2 vertically downwards directed and at a short distance (about 2 cm) to Mouth opening of the bottle 1 is arranged.
  • the first channel of each mixing nozzle 2 is via first lines 22nd with the interposition of a first control valve 20 and one concentric with the axis of rotation 12 arranged Rotary distributor 27 with a stationary steam generator 24 connected. This provides water vapor with an overpressure of 2 bar and a temperature of 121 ° Celsius.
  • the second Channel of each mixing nozzle 2 is via second lines 23 and with the interposition of a second control valve 21 and the rotary distributor 27 and a pump 25 with a stationary storage tank 26 for standing under room temperature Disinfectant 3 connected. This consists of one aqueous solution containing 4% of a disinfectant concentrate and 0.04% surfactant to improve wetting.
  • This liquid disinfectant 3 is by the pump 25 with an overpressure of 2 bar supplied to the mixing nozzles 2.
  • the Disinfectant contains as germicides 4000 ppm H 2 O 2 and 2500 ppm peracetic acid.
  • the dishwasher 6 has a partially similar structure as the injection machine 5.
  • the elastic tongs Here are about horizontal pivot axes by means of a Curve control pivotable, as shown in detail in the European Patent No. 721,808.
  • the Bottles 1 are therefore during most of their Circulation movement with the turntable 11a on the head or wise with its mouth down. In the area of Einlaufsterns 15a and the outlet star 16a, however, point their upright normal position.
  • the treatment of the bottles 1 in the dishwasher 6 takes place by arranged on the turntable 11a, the tongs associated nozzles 14, the something in the bottles 1 insertable are.
  • Each nozzle 14 is connected via a respective control valve a total of three channels connected, the different Flushing media included. In the present case these are Sterile air, sterile water and liquid disinfectant, preferably the same as in the storage tank 26.
  • the nozzle 14 is designed as a single or multi-tube nozzle, so that possibly also simultaneously different rinsing media in the bottle. 1 can be initiated.
  • the equipped with three synchronously running starwheels Conveyor 7 connects the outlet star 16 of Injection machine 5 with the inlet star 15a of Dishwasher 6. Its length is such that at rated power of the device the desired Acting time for in the injection machine 5 in the Bottles 1 dosed disinfectant water vapor mist results.
  • the injection machine 5, the Conveyor 7 and the dishwasher 6 by not shown Drive elements are driven synchronously to each other, so that a trouble-free, continuous transport of the bottles 1 from the feed conveyor 8 to the discharge conveyor 9 results.
  • the whole Device is arranged in an indicated chamber 18, which is treated with sterile air of class 100. A Reinfection of the sterilized bottles 1 is prevented.
  • a second stationary guide arc 19 which is about 180 ° from the first stationary guide arc 17 between inlet star 15 and Inlet star 16 is offset.
  • the second guide bow 19 acts with a first transfer star 28 and a second Transfer star 29 together, both in the direction of arrow synchronously to the turntable 11 are driven in rotation.
  • the first transfer star 1 takes along with the second Guide bow 19 the bottles 1 of the elastic Gripping tongs 13 of the turntable 11 and transferred to them an intermediate conveyor in the form of an endless conveyor 30, while the second transfer star 29 together with the Guide bow 19, the bottles 1 again from the endless conveyor 30th decreases and passes to the grippers 13 of the turntable.
  • Formed endless conveyor 30 is on the outer circumference in same distance as the turntable 11 with elastic Grippers 13a occupied and runs on a drive wheel 31 and a guide wheel 32 with vertical axes of rotation on one horizontal oval track around. He is also in sync with Turntable 11 drivable in the direction of the arrow, being Drive wheel 31 near the two transfer stars 28, 29th is arranged so that the above Transfer function results.
  • the longitudinal axis 33 of the Between conveyor 30 extends radially to the axis of rotation 12 of the Turntable 11 approximately in the middle of the circulation area between Inlet star 15 and outlet star 16, resulting in a particularly compact design with the possibility of two equal large injection zones X and Y results.
  • the two injection zones X and Y are offset by approximately 180 ° at the circulation area of the turntable 11, wherein the first Injection zone X between the inlet star 15 and the first Transfer star 28 and the second injection zone Y between the second transfer star 29 and the outlet star 16 is located.
  • the injection zones are defined by the common opening Control valves 20, 21 defined and are on a spray time set by about 1.5 seconds. Despite the compact Construction of the device according to the invention can thus be a two-time injection time of approx. 1.5 seconds and a two-time exposure time of about 15 seconds realize. This results in the desired high Germ killing in the bottles 1.
  • the through the transfer stars 28, 29 and the endless conveyor formed intermediate conveyor 30 can be in another way and realize manner, for example by several consecutive transport stars or a small one Turntable. It is also possible that the endless conveyor 30 the axis of rotation of the turntable 11 wraps around, so that possibly on the transfer stars 28, 29 can be dispensed with. Further can also have several on a single turntable Intermediate conveyor connected and so more than two Spray zones are realized. Just as well on the stationary artefacts are waived if the relevant transfer stars or the runners and inlets are provided with controllable gripping pliers for the bottles.
