Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a valve for filling flowable products with and without lumpy portion with a mouthpiece and with a plunger, wherein the mouthpiece has an outlet bore, wherein the plunger in the extension direction of the outlet bore between a closed and an open position is displaceable, wherein the Tappet having a cutting edge, wherein the cutting edge is aligned in the direction of the outlet bore parallel to the direction of extension thereof, wherein the cutting edge extends along a line completely surrounding the plunger and wherein the cutting edge is disposed in the closed position within the outlet bore.
  • valves are used when filling flowable food used. These may be juices or yoghurt or vegetable products which contain, for example, pieces of fruit or vegetable parts as a lumpy portion.
  • the valves are installed in filling machines in which the products are filled into individual packages. It is necessary that these valves close reliably, as dripping between the individual filling operations would lead to contamination of the machine.
  • these filling machines should be versatile for a variety of products can be used without complex conversion measures would be necessary.
  • a valve of the type mentioned is from the DE 28 24 680 A1 , from which the present invention proceeds known.
  • the known valve has a mouthpiece whose inner wall narrows conically to an outlet bore. Further, a displaceable in the outlet bore plunger is provided which has a completely circumferential cutting edge. When closing the valve, the plunger engages in the outlet bore, wherein the cutting edge is guided past a pressure edge.
  • the pressure edge is the inner edge of the conical downwardly tapered inner wall of the mouthpiece, which also serves as a sealing surface, for sealing the interior of the mouthpiece relative to the outlet bore.
  • this object is achieved in that in the region of the outlet bore, a counter-cutting edge is provided which completely surrounds the outlet bore, and that a collecting groove is provided on the side of the counter-cutting edge facing away from the outlet bore.
  • the closed line may extend in a plane which is perpendicular to the extension direction of the outlet bore.
  • the entire edge of the outlet hole is simultaneously passed by the cutting edge, which is associated with the advantage that only a small stroke of the plunger is necessary.
  • the collecting groove preferably has a drain which can be connected to the outlet bore.
  • the cutting edge 8 shown in Fig. 1 lies in a plane which is inclined to the extension direction 6 of the outlet bore 5 is arranged. Therefore, the cutting edge 8 at only two points at a time passes the edge of the counter-blade 12.
  • the cutting edge 8 is arranged as a closed line in a plane which is inclined relative to the extension direction 6 of the outlet bore 5, the cutting edge 8 passes the counter-blade 12 at only two points at a time.
  • lumpy portions of the product to be filled which are located at the edge of the outlet bore 5 within the mouthpiece 2, cut and not only sheared off.
  • those of the lumpy portions which do not fall into the outlet hole 5 after cutting can be accommodated in the collecting groove 13.
  • liquid portions can reach the outlet bore 5 via the outlet 14 from the collecting groove 13.
