Definitions

  • the invention relates to a treatment machine for containers such as bottles, cans and the like, for example, a filling machine for filling liquids in bottles with arranged on a rotor filling valves and associated lifting devices for lifting the bottles against the outlet openings according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the lifting cylinder are formed with stand or Abdium. Rising on these, the bottles are optionally using appropriate Centering tulips raised against the outlet openings of the filling valves and after completion lowered the filling process, discharged from the filling machine and a closing machine fed.
  • the pressurized beverage is to avoid excessive Foaming a corresponding back pressure build up in the bottles to be filled.
  • the bottles before the actual filling if necessary under advance of further measures such as pre-evacuation, flushing with a sterilization medium and the like, with the predominant in the filling machine boiler Pressure using the carbon dioxide there or another Inert gases biased and applied.
  • Known constructions have pressing means which suitably engage the container - for example with a plate from the bottom of the container to press the container in required against the filling member.
  • the pressing force is applied in the known constructions of pressure piston arrangements, for example, are under the bottle plate or can be provided in a hanging arrangement on the filling member.
  • the pressurization of the pressure piston assembly with a pressurized gas from a separate source of pressurized gas having an adjustable and during the working stroke constant pressure. The contact pressure is thus constant during the working cycle of the filling element.
  • the pressure piston assemblies are constantly pressurized, thus acting on the principle of a gas spring.
  • the pressing device is lowered with guide curves o. The like. against the piston pressure and raised.
  • the contact pressure is chosen so high by appropriate choice of the pressure of the pressure piston assemblies acting pressurized gas from safety arrangements, that at all to be bottled on the plant drinks that can have different Karbonleitersschere, there is always sufficient pressing force to blow out or escape of gas or liquid on Container edge to avoid.
  • the height of the contact force influences at various points of the filling device the wear of parts, such as the sealing rings or the elements of the pressing device. A usually too high sealing force is therefore disadvantageous. It is evident that a considerable pressure is exerted on the bottles themselves when pressed against the filling valves. Such a pressure causes on glass bottles no or at least rarely corresponding disadvantages.
