Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such devices are particularly used in the beverage industry, see e.g. US-A-5,720,148th Thereby, e.g. a filling machine, a downstream capping machine and possibly other machines arranged in a clean room, the leaks are compensated by ongoing supply of clean gas under slight pressure and in the treatment of the container ensures that the drink can be filled without contamination.
  • the pollutants in question may be bacterial germs that interfere, for example, with sterile beverage filling, as they hinder the longer shelf life of the bottled beverage.
  • a sterile gas such as sterile air
  • the sterility can be achieved, for example by sterile filtration.
  • the impurities may, for example, also consist of undesirable foreign gases, such as oxygen.
  • oxygen-free Clean room As clean gas, for example, nitrogen or CO 2 can be used for these purposes.
  • the impurities can also be made from introduced dust when it comes to dust-free container filling. These requirements can also occur in combination, for example in the case of bottling of beverages, where it is best to work both oxygen-free and germ-free.
  • clean gas can then be used eg sterile filtered CO 2 .
  • a disadvantage of this known construction is the high consumption of clean gas, which is required to eliminate the significant amount of foreign air introduced, and the contact of the entire clean room with the outside air, which introduced germs can settle in remote corners, from which they are difficult to clean gas flushing eliminate.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a generic device with which the elimination of the foreign air introduced by containers can be achieved more economically and thoroughly.
  • a separate drain chamber is provided in the clean room, which comprises the area at which the potentially contaminated air escapes from containers.
  • the clean room may include, for example, the entire container or only its mouth area. If air from the container, z. B. during filling, the air enters the drain chamber, from which it is passed with the drain connection from the clean room to the outside.
  • the opening of the drain chamber to the clean room is provided with in the plane of the opening abblasenden gap nozzles, is blown through the clean gas.
  • Clean gas blown off from opposite areas of the opening edge in the plane of the opening meets the container arranged in the opening and is diverted in portions into the discharge space and into the clean room. If no container is present, the gas streams meet and are also directed in proportions both in the discharge chamber and in the clean room. Regardless of whether there is a container in the opening or whether the opening is free, always forms a flow of stasis, which is directed in proportions in the discharge chamber or in the clean room.
  • the opening with the stagnation flow generated by it not only gives the air supply for the discharge chamber and the clean room, but also serves as an opening for introducing and exporting the container in the discharge chamber. A leakage of contaminated air from the drain chamber into the clean room is avoided with certainty.
  • the drain chamber can accommodate the entire container.
  • it comprises according to claim 2 only the upper region of one or more containers, ie the area of the container mouth, in which the air to be disposed is obtained.
  • the discharge chamber for a single treatment station bell-shaped for receiving only a container may be formed.
  • the discharge space may be formed as an elongate tunnel with an opening formed as an elongate slot.
  • This tunnel can be arranged stationary, with containers in the tunnel can be arranged fixed and can be transported for example with a movable tunnel piece, for example, in multi-lane transport of containers in transversely to the transport direction transverse webs, which are each supplied with a tunnel.
  • the containers can also be transported longitudinally through the tunnel, for example with a suitable conveyor.
  • z. B. even if the containers are not filled here, the leakage of foreign air z. B. be prevented by draft.
  • the features of claim 5 are provided. If a tunnel is supplied by an elongated tunnel opening in the opening direction through the congestion flow there with clean gas and if the drain connection is designed as a parallel elongated slot, then the drain chamber is traversed over a short path transverse to the tunnel axis. This avoids air currents in the tunnel direction, which can lead to germ entrainment between the containers.
  • the features of claim 6 are advantageously provided.
  • the two edges of the opening to the clean room defining slot of the tunnel are provided with the mutually blowing slot nozzles.
  • the tunnel is split longitudinally at another point. It may be a gap, which can be used advantageously as a drain connection and allows a problem-free rotary connection of a rotating with the machine housing part of the clean room to a stationary housing part of the clean room.
  • Fig. 1 shows a clean room 1, which is enclosed by a housing 2.
  • Container 3, shown in the form of bottles, are transported on a conveyor belt 4 through the clean room, where they enter this at an inlet gate 5 and leave at an outlet 6.
  • a filling station with a filling tube 7 of the raised at this point with means not shown container 3 with drink filled. It escapes from this entrained outside air and would contaminate the entire clean room 1.
  • the clean room through a line 8 clean gas, z. B. sterile air or CO 2 , fed and flows out of the gates 5, 6 again, as shown there with arrows. This flushing ensures permanent cleaning of the clean room 1.
  • a closing machine 31 Downstream of the filling station is a closing machine 31, which closes the containers 3 within the clean room 1 with caps 32.
  • a drain chamber 9 is additionally provided, which is arranged in the interior of the clean room 1 and into which the filling tube 7 opens, and in the filling position the upper portion of the container 3, in the illustrated embodiment, the neck region, from above over sums.
  • the wall of the drain chamber 9 is double-walled from the walls 10a, 10b.
  • the double wall 10a, 10b comprises the container 3 with a lower opening 11 of the drain chamber, where it is in communication with the interior of the clean room 1. Otherwise, the double wall 10a, 10b encloses the discharge chamber 9 sealed.
  • the gap formed between the walls 10a and 10b is connected to the conduit 8 and is supplied with clean gas, which can escape from this gap at the opening 11 of the drain chamber 9.
  • the gas exiting there at A and B impinges on the container 3 and is deflected in approximately equal proportions up into the discharge chamber 9 and down into the clean room 1 into it.
  • the interior of the drain chamber 9 is connected with a drain connection 12 through the housing 2 of the clean room 1 out to the outside, so that gas is constantly blown out of the drain chamber 9 to the outside.
  • the outside air escaping during filling of the container 3 with beverage from the filling tube 7 from the container 3 is blown outwards in this way and does not reach the clean room 1.
  • the clean gas flow in the region of the gap nozzle A, B at the opening 11 of the drain chamber. 9 acts as a gas curtain that shuts off the clean room 1 against the ingress of foreign air from the container 3.
  • the flowing at the opening 11 of the drain chamber 9 in a proportion in the clean room 1 gas can be used to its sole flushing through the gates 5, 6 addition or can be supported with a clean gas inlet to the clean room 1.
  • Fig. 1 and 2 a only one container 3 comprehensive Ablbelraumes 9 is shown, the opening 11, as shown in FIG. 2, is round and thus has a self-contained edge. Nevertheless, here the circumferentially formed at the edge gap nozzle with the two reference numerals A, B provided to illustrate their opposite Abblasende effect and to facilitate the comparison with the other embodiments.
  • Figure 3 shows in a sectional view using as far as possible the same reference numeral, a construction of the discharge chamber 9, which is not cup-shaped as shown in FIG. 1 and 2 for receiving only a container 3, but elongated to receive a plurality of arranged in a row container 3, as shown in FIG. 3.
  • a section along line 4-4 is shown in Fig. 4.
  • the discharge chamber 9 is arranged in the interior of the clean room 1, not shown here.
  • the opening 11 of the tunnel-shaped elongated drain chamber 9 is provided in this embodiment as an elongate slot, is blown from the edges of the annular space between the double walls 10a and 10b supplied clean gas into the plane of the opening 11, as in Fig. 3 is shown with arrows.
  • the cross section of FIG. 4 shows a point of the tunnel-shaped drain chamber 9, where no container is in the opening 11. It can be seen that here, too, the gas flowing against one another is deflected in proportion to the discharge space 9 and outwards into the clean room, forming a flow of stagnation.
  • the containers 3 can be transported through the tunnel-shaped construction of Figures 3 and 4 in the direction of the arrow shown in Figure 3, e.g. B. with a conveyor, not shown, arranged below this tunnel.
  • blocking plates 13 may be provided between the containers, which protrude from below through the opening 11 in the discharge chamber 9 and this block substantially transversely and which are transported with the containers 3. This allows Fremdluftverschleppungen between the containers 3 can be reduced.
  • External air entrainment between the containers may also be reduced by not forming the drain connection 12 as a tube at a location of the elongate tunnel, but as an elongate slot extending the length of the tunnel. From that, the opening forming Slit coming forth clean air thus flows through the tunnel cross-section and extends substantially transverse to the tunnel axis to the drain connection 12. This cross-carry between the containers are further reduced.
  • the elongated tunnel construction shown in Fig. 3 may also receive a series of stationary bottles, e.g. treated simultaneously, for example, filled.
  • a series of stationary bottles e.g. treated simultaneously, for example, filled.
  • each of such a row of bottles is associated with a tunnel piece according to the embodiment of Fig. 3, which is movably transported with the rows in the conveying direction.
