  • the invention relates to a sealing arrangement for sealing a transition between a rotating and a stationary machine element of a plant or apparatus for treating bottles or similar containers, in particular for sealing the transition between a circumferential and a stationary part of a sterile room or area of a non Sterile space or area separating enclosure of a system for cold aseptic filling, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the invention further relates to a plant or apparatus for treating bottles or similar containers, in particular plant or apparatus for cold aseptic filling, with at least one transition between a rotating and a stationary machine element and with a transition provided at the transition and the relative movement between the Machine elements enabling sealing arrangement, according to the preamble of claim 14.
  • Installations for the cold aseptic filling of a liquid filling material into bottles or the like containers for example for the cold aseptic filling of heat-sensitive beverages (for example fruit juices) are known in various designs.
  • the individual machines forming such a plant and adjoining each other in the manufacturing or treatment line such as e.g. Rinser, sterilizer, filling machine, capper, are provided with enclosures, in such a way that within the plant a conveyor line for the container or bottles in a sterile space results, through this enclosure against adjacent non-sterile rooms or areas, such as the environment in particular is also sealed against the penetration of germs.
  • such housing when using machines of rotating design, as is customary for rinsers, sterilizers, filling machines and / or closing machines, such housing usually has several transitions between a rotating or rotating Part of the enclosure and a fixed part of this enclosure, so that in these areas special seals are required.
  • Each siphon seal consists essentially of at least one of the rotational or rotational axis of the peripheral part of the enclosure annularly enclosing channel-like channel or annular channel, in which an annular wall portion extends to a provided on the other part of the housing element of the siphon seal.
  • the barrier liquid preferably contains a sterilizing medium and consists for example of distilled, sterile water with a proportion of hydrogen peroxide H 2 O 2 .
  • each siphon seal for this purpose is assigned an independent buffer container for the barrier liquid, which is connected via a line to the annular channel of the siphon seal in the manner of communicating tubes.

  • a disadvantage of the known plant u.a. also that the respective siphon seal is exposed both to the sterile space or area and to the non-sterile space or area, e.g. Contamination of the sealing or sealing fluid by influences from the non-sterile space or by influences from the sterile room, e.g. can not be excluded by the liquid contents just as little, such. Odor nuisance and / or injury to persons (operating personnel) by the barrier fluid.
  • the object of the invention is to show a seal arrangement which avoids such disadvantages.

All siphon seals or their annular channels are then constantly supplied with barrier liquid from a common supply or supply tank or reservoir, for example via a common pump and individually associated with the individual siphon seals means for adjusting or regulating the flow rate of the respective Siphon seal inflowing barrier fluid. Since the at least one outlet of the respective annular channel is designed as an overflow, the necessary level of the liquid level of the barrier liquid automatically arises in each annular channel without the need for an electronic control loop.
  • the individually provided in the supply or in the supply lines of the siphon seals means for adjusting or regulating the flow hydrostatic differences that result from the different height level of the various siphon seals balanced.
  • these means for adjusting and regulating the volume flow of adjusting valves are formed, which are set once, for example, when commissioning the system.

  • a level control of the liquid level of the barrier liquid in the siphon seals is neither provided nor required in the invention. This results in a significant simplification of the design and beyond a much improved reliability, since the level of the liquid level regulating electronic control circuits are avoided.
