Definitions
- the present invention relates to a container filling installation for filling the containers with a product according to variable combinations of different ingredients, according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Document is known FR-A-2 809 377 a method of filling containers comprising the steps of partially filling the containers at a first filling station comprising a series of filling stations with a first part of the ingredients, transferring the containers to at least a second filling station also comprising a series filling stations and successively filling the containers with the rest of the ingredients.
- a feed tank is associated with each filling station so that by introducing different ingredients into the different feed tanks, it is possible to modify the composition of the final product simply by changing the proportion of the ingredients introduced into a container. each of the filling stations without the need to change the composition of the product contained in each feed tank.
- the filling installation comprises filling stations each comprising a rotating platform supporting a series of filling stations.
- Each filling station has a filling spout and an associated weighing member.
- a corresponding proportion of each ingredient is introduced into a container at one of the filling stations and the containers are transferred from one filling station to the other by means of transfer devices.
- the multiplication of the rotary platforms therefore entails an increased cost and an increased size of the installation so that it is only justified if volumes important of varied compositions must be conditioned.
- Document is also known US 4,627,475 a filling installation comprising filling spouts connected to two separate feed tanks each containing a product to be packaged, each filling spout having two concentric pistons moving in a common chamber alternately put in communication with one of the two tanks of 'food.
- the common chamber is thus successively filled with the two products to be packaged and emptied into a container.
- Such an installation implies that the common chamber is large enough to contain the total amount of product to be introduced into a container so that the installation is particularly bulky for containers of large capacity.
- the products to be packaged are moved a first time to fill the common chamber and a second time to empty the common chamber into the container so that the filling rate is necessarily low.
- An object of the invention is to provide an installation for filling containers with separate products while reducing the cost and bulk of the installation.
- a container filling installation comprising a rotary platform supporting a first filling station comprising a first feed tank to which first filling spouts are connected, and at least one second filling station comprising a second feed tank to which second filling spouts are connected adjacent to the first filling spouts, the installation further comprising displacement members to ensure a relative displacement of the containers relative to the filling spouts.
- each filling spout directly transfers the products to be packaged in the containers and only a small relative displacement of the filling spouts and the containers relative to each other to perform a partial filling at each filling station.
- one of the displacement members is arranged between an input transfer device and an output transfer device with reference to a direction of rotation of the rotary platform.
- one of the displacements is carried out in a rotating range of the rotary platform which is in any case unusable for the filling and thus minimizes the dead time separating the filling phases.
- the installation comprises, in a manner known per se, an input conveyor 1 conveying containers 2 to an input transfer device 3 serving to successively introduce the containers 2 to filling stations generally designated 4, supported by a rotating platform 5.
- the rotary platform 5 supports a first feed tank 6.1 and a second feed tank 6.2.
- the filling nozzles 7.1 forming a first series of filling nozzles are attached to the first feed tank 6.1 and the filling nozzles 7.2 forming a second series of filling nozzles are attached to the second tank of 7.2.
- the filling nozzles of each series are associated in pairs disposed radially relative to the rotational movement of the platform.
- the filler nozzles 7.1, 7.2 are associated with control members, respectively 8.1, 8.2 associated themselves with a control unit 9 which controls the filler nozzles 7.1, 7.2 according to an illustrated functional connection. by the arrow in double line on the figure 1 .
- Each pair of filling spouts 7.1, 7.2 is associated with a common weighing member 11 carried by the platform 5 and operatively connected to the control unit 9.
- Each weighing member 11 carries a generally designated support member 12 comprising a plate 13 mounted for sliding on the weighing member 11 in a radial direction of the rotary platform, for example by means of unrepresented slides fixed to the plate 14 of the weighing member 11.
- the support member 12 comprises furthermore, holding members 15 ensuring an appropriate positioning of the containers 2 during the rotation of the platform 5.
- the radial positioning of the plate 13 is provided by a roller 16 fixed to the plate 13 and cooperating with a first displacement member 17.1 (see FIG. figure 1 ) fixed to the frame of the machine, and a second displacement member 17.2 also attached to the frame of the machine.
- the displacement member 17.1 is arranged to the end of a sector P1 corresponding to the filling of the containers with the product contained in the feed tank 6.1, and is oriented to move the support plate 13 radially inwardly.
- the displacement member 17.2 is disposed between an output transfer device 18 and the input transfer device 3, and is oriented to carry out a guide of the roller 16 radially outward.
- the transfer device 18 is associated with an output conveyor 19.
- reference D denotes a sector of the rotation of the platform during which no filling has been performed to allow the radial displacement of the containers and the stabilization of the system before the resumption of filling.
- the reference P2 designates the sector of rotation of the platform during which the containers are filled with the product contained in the feed tank 6.2.
- the support plate 13 When a filling station is positioned opposite the input transfer device 3, the support plate 13 is in the outer radial position and the container 2 introduced by the input transfer device 3 is therefore in line with a filling spout 7.1. As indicated above, the container is filled with product contained in the feed tank 6.1 during the displacement of the platform corresponding to the sector P1. By the radial displacement inward provided by the displacement member 17.1, the container 2 is then brought in line with the filling spout 7.2.
- the container is filled with the product contained in the feed tank 6.2 during the rotation along the sector P2. From this position the container 2 is evacuated by the transfer device 18 and the support plate 13 is then moved radially towards the outside by the displacement member 17.2 to be ready to receive a new container.
- the sector D during which the plate 13 is moved is a dead area, that is to say that the filling must be interrupted not only during the actual movement but also for a sufficient time after the displacement so that the Weighing device stabilizes.
- the filling nozzles 7.1 associated with the radially outer tank 6.1 are mounted close to the radially inner wall thereof while the filling nozzles 7.2 associated with the tank 6.2 are mounted close to the radially outer wall. of this tank. In this way the fillers 7.1 and 7.2 of each pair are adjacent to each other and the displacement is minimized.
- the corresponding series of filling spouts can also be provided to operate in a volumetric dosage, thereby reducing the displacement area. the stabilization of the weighing member is no longer necessary to allow the corresponding dosage.
- the installation according to the invention can also be equipped with a barcode sensor as described in the document FR-A-2 809 377 to allow an automatic variation of the composition introduced into each container.
