Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method of washing a pipe, a pipe in which such a washing method is used and a filler comprising such a pipe.
- a filler is a device that automatically fills bottles or cans with a liquid product.
- Such a filler 100 is shown in FIG. unique. It comprises a first reservoir 102 in which is stored a first liquid product 104 and a second reservoir 150 in which a second liquid product 152 is stored.
- the first liquid product 104 flows from the first reservoir 102 through a first connecting pipe 106 to a feed pipe 114 by passing through a first valve 116.
- the second liquid product 152 flows from the second reservoir
- the first valve 116 and the second valve 156 are arranged at the supply pipe 1 14 and are controlled in a controlled manner. only one is open to allow the passage of a single product liquid 104 or 152 or none is open to allow the washing of the piping of the filler 100 as explained below.
- each filling pipe HOa, HOb, HOc, 1 10d ends with a filling spout 1 12a, 1 12b, 1 12c, 112d through which the liquid product 104 flows into the can.
- Each filling spout 112a, 112b, 112c, 112d comprises an opening and closing device controlled by a control unit.
- the first reservoir 102 When the first liquid product 104 is to be replaced by the second liquid product 152, the first reservoir 102 must be dissociated from the supply pipe 114 by closing the first valve 116, then the filler 100, and in particular the piping extending between the supply pipe 114, the distributor 108, the filling pipes HOa, HOb, HOc and 11 Od and the filler nozzles 112a, 112b, 112c and 112d, must be washed in order to remove all traces of the first liquid product. 104 before the second reservoir 152 is connected to the supply pipe 1 14 by opening the second valve 156.
- the filling step consists in filling the pipework of the filler 100, that is to say the filler nozzles 112a, 112b, 112c and 112d, the filling lines 1 10a, 110b, 1c 10c and 1 10d, the distributor 108 and the feed pipe 114 with the washing product.
- the filling up to filling level 120 thus leaves free an expansion volume 122 which does not contain washing liquid.
- the volume of air introduced substantially corresponds to this expansion volume 122 and the top of the supply pipe 114 is provided with a vent 118 which allows the evacuation of air from the expansion volume 122.
- the introduction constant air flow in the washing liquid causes a rise thereof in the pipe of the filler 100 and, in particular, in the supply pipe 1 14.
- the washing liquid then fills the whole of the supply pipe 114 by evacuation of the air initially contained in the expansion volume 122 by the vent 118.
- the introduced air rises by the effect of the law of archimedes then in the various pipes 110a, 1 10b, 110c , 11Od, 108 and 1 14 so as to evacuate through the vent 1 18.
- the washing liquid located just above the volume of air falls just below the volume of air air which generates a back-and-forth movement favoring the stalling of the particles of the first product liquid 104 glued to the walls of the pipework.
- the introduction of the volume of air is done in one go, the introduction rate and the volume of air must be determined so that the washing liquid reaches the vent 118 but without overflow. Indeed, a too violent introduction of a volume of air corresponding to the expansion volume 122 causes a rise of the washing liquid to the top of the feed pipe 114 but under the effect of its inertia, the liquid of washing rises higher and overflows from the feed pipe 114 through the vent 118.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a method of washing a pipe which does not have the disadvantages of the state of the art by allowing a better washing of the pipe.
- a method of washing a pipe comprising a high point and at least one low point, and filled with a liquid product, the washing process comprising:
- the introducing step comprises at least two cycles, each cycle comprising in series, an introduction of a volume of air of a first type at a first rate and an introduction of a volume of air of a second type at a second flow rate lower than the first flow rate and in that the time interval between the introduction of the first air volume of the first type and the introduction of the last air volume of the first type is less than the time interval required for the first air volume of the first type to reach the high point.
- the second flow is zero.
- the starting of the cycle of one of the low points is done sequentially with respect to the other low points.
- the start of each cycle is done simultaneously in each of the low points.
- the first flow is such that the introduction of the air volume of the first type generates a bubble filling the section of the pipe.
- the invention also proposes a pipework filled with a liquid product and comprising:
- the introduction means being such that they comprise regulating means provided for carrying out at least two cycles, each cycle comprising in series, an introduction of a volume of air of a first type at a first rate and an introduction an air volume of a second type at a second flow rate lower than the first flow rate and in that the time interval between the introduction of the first air volume of the first type and the introduction of the last volume of The air of the first type is less than the time interval required for the first air volume of the first type to reach the high point.
- the second flow is zero.
- the regulation means comprise air introduction devices and a control unit controlling each air introduction device.
- the air introduction devices consist of connection nozzles, each of them being adapted to leak tightly on one of the low points.
- the air introduction devices consist of injectors, each of them being placed at one of the low points.
- the invention also proposes a filler comprising a pipe according to one of the preceding variants.
- each low point is a filling spout.
- connection tip 128a, 128b, 128c, 128d is terminated by a connection tip 128a, 128b, 128c, 128d.
- Each connection spout 128a, 128b, 128c, 128d is sealed in one of the filling spouts 112a, 112b, 1c and 12d so that, when the filling spouts 112a, 12b , 112c and 112d are open, the air pressurized by the pressurized air reservoir 126 penetrates through each of the filling spouts 112a,
- 112d is provided with an injector by which air is injected under pressure.
- the pipe of the filler 100 extends between a high point here taking the form of the vent 118 and at least one low point, each of them taking the form here of a filling spout 112a, 1 12b, 1 12c , 112d.
- the washing method of the pipe 100 which is filled with the liquid product 104 comprises: a step of emptying the pipework of the liquid product 104;
- the introduction step comprises at least two cycles, each cycle comprising in series, an introduction of a volume of air of a first type at a first rate and an introduction of an air volume of a second type at a second flow rate lower than the first flow rate and the time interval between the introduction of the first air volume of the first type and the introduction of the last air volume of the first type is less than the time interval required for the first air volume of the first type to reach the high point 1 18.
- the succession of at least two cycles thus generates at least one volume of air of the first type and a volume of air of the second type and, again, a volume of air of the first type.
- This succession of air volumes produced by introducing air at different flow rates generates variations in the speed of the washing liquid towards the high point 118 and these speed variations favor the detachment of the particles of the first liquid product 104.
- Each volume of the first type of air thus generates a a bumper that echoes along the piping and detaches the particles from the first liquid product 104.
- the second rate is very low or even zero.
- the total volume of air takes the form of two volumes of air of the first type which follow each other at a distance from each other and which are separated by a volume of washing liquid containing little or no no air at all. This succession provides a plurality of back and forth movements, while ensuring that the top of the pipe is washed and this in a very short time.
- the column of washing liquid is upwardly moving towards the high point 1 18 and at each passage of a volume of air of the first type, the washing liquid undergoes a descent movement. So there is a succession of movements back and forth.
- the volume of air introduced at one time is substantially equal to the expansion volume 122 and if, to improve the washing, a second introduction is necessary, the A person skilled in the art will wait for the first volume of air to be evacuated by the high point 1 18 before carrying out the second injection, without which the washing liquid will overflow through the high point 1 18.
- the duration of the washing process according to the invention The invention is therefore considerably less than that of the washing method of the state of the art.
- the fact that the time interval between the introduction of the first volume of air of the first type and the introduction of the last volume of air of the first type is less than the time interval necessary for the first volume of air of the first type.
- first type to reach the high point 1 18 ensures that the expansion volume 122 is fully washed before the first volume of air reaches the high point 1 18 and sort of piping.
- the starting of the cycle of one of the low points 1 12a, 1 12b, 1 12c, 1 12d is done so sequentially with respect to the other low points 1 12a, 1 12b, 1 12c, 1 12d or that the start of each cycle is done simultaneously in each of the low points 112a, 1 12b, 1 12c, 112d.
- each volume of air introduced remains in the form of a single volume and does not disperse in the form of air bubbles.
- the first flow rate is such that each air volume of the first type consists of a single bubble or a set of bubbles filling the section of the pipe. High introductory rate also ensures a fast rise washing liquid and the washing is even better than the rise speed of the washing product is important.
- the pipework thus comprises a high point 118 and at least one low point 112a, 112b, 112c, 112d, and is filled with the liquid product 104, the pipework also comprises:
- the introduction means comprise regulating means provided for performing at least two cycles, each cycle comprising in series, an introduction of an air volume of the first type at a first rate and an introduction of an air volume of the second type at a second rate lower than the first rate and the time interval between the introduction of the first volume of air of the first type and the introduction of the last air volume of the first type is less than the time interval required for the first air volume of the first type to reach the high point 1 18.
- the second flow is preferably low , see no one.
- the emptying means here take the form of filling nozzles 112a, 112b, 112c, 112d and the filling means may take the form of a filling pipe connected to the supply pipe 114 via a third valve .
- the regulating means comprise air introduction devices and a control unit controlling each air introduction device.
- the user determines the volume and the flow rate of each volume of air of the first type or the second type to be introduced as well as the time interval between each of them. These different data are recorded in the control unit which can then control the air introduction devices according to these different data.
- the air introduction devices consist of the connection nozzles 128a, 128b, 128c and 128d, each of them being adapted to leak tightly to one of the low points 112a, 112b, 112c, 112d.
- each low point 112a, 112b, 112c, 112d is a filling spout for filling a can.
- the pipework may consist of horizontal and / or vertical portions.
- the present invention is not limited to the example and the embodiment described and shown, but it is capable of many variants accessible to those skilled in the art.
- each volume of the first type is introduced at a first rate and each volume of the second type is introduced at a second rate, but it is possible that for each volume of the first type the rate is different or for each volume of the second type flow is different.
