Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for filling a plastic bottle with neck and attaching a
- fruit yoghurts are offered, which are housed in a two-part cup, wherein the yoghurt is housed in one cup and the crunchy cereal in the other cup and wherein after removing a covering membrane of Müslibecher can be moved hingedly and empty the content in the yogurt cup. Since the two components are also consumable without any problems, it is also unproblematic if the consumer can have both parts accessible to himself. In the case of milk mix products in which, for example, the liquid fraction obtained from milk with other substances such as, for example, various vitamins, trace elements or other health-promoting components are in solid form, it does not make sense if the consumer can have these two parts separately.
- plastic bottles are available on the market for a few years, which are combined with a capsule in which a substance to be applied in the plastic bottle is kept.
- a particularly known embodiment is known from WO 98/40289.
- a first version is described in which a tablet is located in a cavity of a closure which is closed by a lid. During the initial opening of this lid is pierced and the tablet falls into the container.
- This solution is in terms of durability claims and hygiene insufficient because the tablet is not in a separate capsule
- the tablet is in a capsule and is removed therefrom by means of a piercer and falls into the liquid portion underneath. Since the capsule remains in the spout area of the closure, the closure must be unscrewed after the first opening and the capsule must be removed. This is cumbersome for the consumer and is hardly understood. The consumer will be annoyed at most about the poor pouring properties of the closure.
- the invention has the task of a plastic bottle with attached to the bottleneck
- Capsule show which can be realized by the method according to claim 1. This task triggers a plastic bottle with attached on the bottleneck capsule with the
- the inventive method is shown schematically and filled by the process and provided with a capsule plastic bottle. It shows :
- FIG. 1 shows the sequence of the method in substeps a) to g);
- FIG. 2 shows a plastic bottle filled according to the method, with a capsule mounted thereon and a closure placed over the capsule, partly in section.
- the end product to be obtained consists of a filled plastic bottle with a bottleneck on which a capsule is placed.
- the capsule contains a substance to be dispensed, which may be present either in solid form, in tablet form, in powder form or even in liquid form.
- the plastic bottle which is generally designated 1, is preferably made of plastic and has a bottleneck 2. At the bottleneck 2 an outer surrounding collar 3 is formed. Of course, the existing here collar is not relevant to the actual process.
- On the bottleneck 2 is a capsule, the denoted overall by 4, welded.
- a closure 5 is placed on the bottleneck 2 .
- the closure 5 has a guarantee strip 6, which surrounds the collar 3.
- the closure 5 is provided with a drinking spout 7, which can be closed with a sealing cap 8.
- the closure 5 has a capping wall 9 with internal thread 10. From the warranty position shown here, the closure can be screwed into a position of use. In this case, the capsule 4 is pierced and its contents get into the existing in the plastic bottle 1 liquid.
- the more precise embodiment of the closure is not the subject of the present invention and its exact configuration will therefore not be described here.
- the steps a) to c) are surrounded by a dot-dashed frame.
- This dot-dashed frame is intended to schematically represent that these steps take place in an aseptic chamber 20.
- the aseptic chamber 20 is in itself a closed chamber in a bottling plant and is thus integrated in this system.
- a filling line 11 is introduced into the plastic bottle 1 and this filled to the desired level with the liquid to be filled.
- the plastic bottle 1 is conveyed to a welding station and there with a first membrane 12 sealed. In principle, both the terms are welded and sealed equivalent used.
- the membrane is coated on both sides with a sealable layer.
- This layer is a thermoplastic weld with the container neck.
- the membrane itself which is preferably made of aluminum, is attached by means of a seal on the bottle neck 2.
- an electrically heated sealing or welding stamp 13 is correspondingly schematically present, by means of which the connection of the membrane is effected with the container neck.
- the plastic bottle 1 is completely sealed by means of the first membrane 12.
- the electrically heated forming die 14 moves away and the first membrane 12 can then optionally be brought into its final form purely mechanically or thermally. Accordingly, the first membrane 12 may already be applied in its final form or in the subsequent step in the figure c) be brought, for example, with a heated punch 14 in the final form.
- the plastic bottle 1 sealingly closed off by the first membrane 12 now leaves the aseptic chamber 20 and can now be sterilized as an optional intermediate step in the container itself.
- This intermediate step is shown in FIG. 1 as d). After sterilization can, in principle Now the filled container, which is sealed tight, be stored before the next steps take place.
- the sealed container 1 is now introduced into a drying space 30.
- the drying space 30 can also be designed as a clean room at the same time.
- a substance 16 to be introduced into the container is now applied to the first membrane 12 already welded onto the neck of the bottle.
- this substance 16 can be in tablet form as shown here, but it is quite possible that this substance 16 is applied in powder or in a liquid, pasty form on the first membrane 12.
- the first membrane 12 is designed accordingly.
- a second membrane 17 is placed thereon.
- This second membrane 17 may already be preformed.
- This second membrane 17 may for example be an aluminum foil again.
- This aluminum foil can be printed, anodized or again have another coating that is to satisfy substantially aesthetically.
- this coating can prevent erosion of the film. Since, as already mentioned, the first membrane 12 is provided on both sides with a heat seal layer may be, the second membrane 17 no longer needs to carry a sealing layer.
- the second membrane 17 is now placed over the first membrane 12, wherein at least come to lie over the container neck surfaces of the first and second membrane congruent to each other. In the following step, which is shown in the drawing with f), the second membrane 17 is now welded onto the first membrane 12.
- the second membrane 17 will be designed approximately equal to the first membrane 12, so that the largest possible interior space is formed.
- the first membrane may be more deeply drawn than the second membrane or vice versa. This in turn depends essentially on the consistency of the substance to be housed in the capsule 4 to be filled. If this substance is a liquid, of course, the second membrane can also be designed absolutely plan.
- the first membrane 12 can be provided on both sides with a heat seal layer which can be processed at approximately the same temperature. It is more advantageous, however, with the first membrane on one side a low-temperature-sealing layer and on the other side to be provided with a high-temperature-sealing layer.
- the first membrane 12 with the low-temperature sealing layer will be welded onto the container or bottleneck.
- the second high-temperature sealing layer then remains uninvolved. Accordingly, the second membrane 17 is then welded onto the high-temperature sealing layer at a correspondingly higher temperature.
- the second membrane 17 is not provided with a heat seal layer.
- both membranes are provided with a heat-sealable layer.
- the first membrane 12 is now provided with a heat-sealable layer which is welded at a higher temperature, while the second membrane 17 is then welded onto this first membrane at a lower temperature than before. Accordingly, the second membrane has a low-temperature sealing layer.
- - II - a heat seal layer for a first temperature range for welding to the container neck and a second heat seal layer, which is arranged either on the second side of the first membrane 12 or on one side of the second membrane 17 and is suitable for a second temperature range.
- the first membrane 12 as well as the second membrane 17 can of course be designed uni- or multilaminar.
- the materials from which these membranes can be made are extremely varied.
- For the deep-drawn or preformed membranes are of course most likely membranes made of aluminum or plastic or a mixture thereof.
- aluminum-laminated paper foils are also suitable.
- metal-coated plastic films are generally suitable for the membranes.
- the heat-sealing layer is however in any case the outermost coating.
- a bottled according to this method bottle provides a high shelf life of the introduced product. Thanks to the relatively low temperatures with which the membranes can be attached thanks to the corresponding hot-seal coatings, the temperature influence on the substance 16 to be introduced is also extremely low. If necessary, the drying room can also be cooled accordingly.
- the first membrane can also be a plane membrane. This is particularly useful if then on this membrane in ' the bottle to be dispensed drug is already applied in encapsulated form and thus the second membrane is part of this capsule.
- the first membrane may be double-sidedly provided with a heat seal layer, and it is convenient for the heat seal layer to be on the container neck to be a low temperature sealing layer, while for a sealing layer to be used with the second membrane which is part of a capsule designed higher temperature range. This procedure allows a logistical and storage technically particularly easy to handle product to achieve.
- a manufacturing technology particularly simple solution, which also requires little investment, is that the diameter of the capsule membranes are larger than that Diameter of the bottle neck 2.
- the second membrane which is part of the capsule, centric placed on the first membrane and now the closure or a part of a multi-part closure pressed so that the capsule practically held form-fitting gebärdelt on the bottle neck and the Lock or a closure part is kept secured.
- this type of mounting will advantageously manufacture all membranes made of aluminum or aluminum composite.
- the membranes can be designed so that a plurality of chambers are formed and correspondingly different active ingredients can be delivered.
