Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method according to the preamble of claim 1 and to a device according to the preamble of claim 14.
  • bottles, barrels or the like containers that have been filled in a filling machine with a liquid filling material, preferably with a filling material containing carbonic acid, before closing with a pressurized liquid AufMummedium.
  • the aim is foaming the filling material in the respective container in order thereby to displace air or existing atmospheric oxygen above the level of contents in the container and to avoid the deterioration of the contents or its durability and taste due to oxygen.
  • water is used as the liquid foaming medium, for example in each case in the heated state.
  • At least one injection nozzle which is supplied with the foaming medium under pressure and under which the containers filled with the contents are passed on a transport path between a filling machine and a closing machine following this filling machine in the production line, serves to introduce the foaming medium.
  • the introduction or injection of the frothing liquid should also take into account product-specific parameters as well as the production line performance, i. depending on the number of per unit time treated with the AufMummedium done so that on the one hand, a sufficiently strong foaming is achieved, on the other hand, a foaming is avoided. Furthermore, it is necessary to carry out the introduction of the AufMummediums germ-free.
  • the introduced into the container for foaming energy input depends on various parameters, including the temperature and amount of in the respective container introduced Aufscheuummediums and also the injection pressure with which this medium is injected into the container. Also the injection time has to be considered.
  • an inert gas for example CO2 gas
  • CO2 gas for example CO2 gas
  • the object of the invention is to provide a method by which an improved foaming of a bottled or similar container filled filling material is achieved.
  • the injection pressure is suitable for controlling the energy input or the foaming process as a function of the performance of the production line or as a function of the performance of the filling machine and the subsequent closing machine.
  • the invention is still based on the finding that a regulation of the foaming process and in particular the injection pressure in dependence on the performance of the production line or the filler and thus also by the number of per unit time treated with the AufMummedium container is only possible if the injection pressure can be regulated in a wide range, for example in a range between at least 1 bar and 8 bar, preferably in a range between at least about 1 bar and 15 bar, namely at a correspondingly low volume flow of the liquid AufMummediums, for example at a maximum flow 2 l / min, preferably of a maximum of 1.5 l / min for the injection pressure generating pump.
  • the setpoint for the injection pressure is determined by this control device for the respective power of the production line , for example, by removal from an electronically stored in the memory list or table.
  • this actual injection pressure is compared as an actual value with the setpoint and the speed and / or power of the pump readjusted such that the actual value corresponds to the desired value.
  • the generally designated 1 in the figure device is part of a production line for filling bottles 2 or the like container with a liquid product and for closing the filled bottles 2 and serves to fill the bottles 2 filled product, in particular carbonated product by a controlled Enriching energy input so that is displaced by the foam forming air and in particular atmospheric oxygen above the Gregutspiegels from the bottle 2, without causing overfoaming.
  • the energy input is controlled by at least one injection nozzle 3, which is provided above the movement path of the upright bottles 2 between a filling machine, not shown, and a sealing machine, also not shown.
  • For foaming a certain amount of a liquid foaming causing possibly heated medium is introduced with a certain injection pressure in each passing under the injection nozzle 3 bottle.
  • the Auftechnologymedium is for example water or filling.
  • the respective energy input is in particular from the kinetic energy, ie from the amount and from the injection pressure of the introduced AufMummediums and from the heat energy, ie from the temperature of the Aufbulummediums together.
  • the injector 3 passing bottles 2 is in the device.
  • the device 1 is u.a. from a pump circuit 4, the essential part of which is a high-pressure pump 5 with a frequency-controlled drive motor.
  • the inlet of the pump 5 communicates via a flowmeter 6 and a conduit 7 with a source 8 which provides the liquid foaming medium.
  • This source 8 is, for example, the respective supply network for fresh water, in which case in the line 7 even more elements such.
  • control and / or check valves, filters, etc. are provided.
  • 9 designates a temperature sensor provided in the line 7, with which the temperature of the foaming medium provided by the source 8 is determined.
  • a bypass Parallel to the series arrangement of the pump 5 and the flow meter 6 is a bypass, which is essentially formed by a line 10, which connects the output of the pump 5 with the upstream of the pump 5 in the flow direction of Aufschummummed inlet of the flow meter 6.
  • a throttle 11 and a pressure at the output of the pump 5 measuring pressure sensor 12 and another temperature sensor 13 is arranged in the line 10 u.a.
  • the flow cross-section formed by this throttle 11 is selected so that even with a low volume flow or in the absence of a volume flow at the output of the pump circuit 4 sufficient for the lubrication and cooling of the pump 5 minimum flow is ensured by the pump 5.
  • the output of the pump circuit 4 is connected via a line 14 to the input of an example electrically operated boiler 15, which is an integral part of a heating circuit 16 and to which in the illustrated embodiment, inter alia, a pressure sensor 17, a level sensor 18 and a temperature sensor 19 are provided.
  • the output of the boiler 15 is connected via a line 20 to the injection nozzle 3, for example, a defined, but adjustable to the respective contents nozzle or Has flow cross-section.
  • bypass line 23 in which an electrically controllable check valve 24 is provided and which leads to a drain 25.
  • the control of the energy input in the high-pressure injection by controlling the pressure at the outlet of the pump 5 and thus the injection pressure of the AufMummediums at the injection nozzle 3 in response to a typical for each product performance-dependent setpoint occurs.
  • This product-typical desired value is stored, for example, as a data set in a memory 30 of the computer-aided control device 29, so that the control device 29 can regulate the pump 5 product and performance-dependent (container / hour), taking into account one of the performance of the production line (filled and closed Bottles 2 per time unit) corresponding and for example derived at the filling machine control signal and taking into account the voltage applied to the injection nozzle 3 and, for example, determined by the pressure sensor 17 pressure, each as actual values.
  • the pump 5 and the pump circuit 4 are formed so that a regulation of the pump pressure in the range between at least 2 bar and 16 bar is possible, namely at a relatively small flow in the range of about 0.7 - 1, 5 l / min.
  • the diameter of the injection nozzle 3 is changed, i. for a product which is liable to froth, e.g., sobier, an injection nozzle 3 is used with reduced nozzle diameter. Conversely, in a product or product, which is difficult to foaming, an injection nozzle 3 with a larger nozzle diameter is used.
  • the ratio V max / V min is about 3-4, the pump pressure at high power is well above 8 bar and the maximum injected quantity V max of the foaming medium even at the hardly foamable product 3 and at low output of the production plant is well below 0.05 ml per bottle.
  • the small amount of AufMummedium to be introduced into the bottles 2 also has the advantage that when using water as a Materials as a Materials as a Materials as a Materials as a Materials as a Materials as a Materials as a Materials as a Materials as a Materials as a Materials as a Materials as a Materials as a Materials as a Materials as a Materials as a Materials as a Materials as a Materials as a Materials as a Materials as a Materials as a
  • the pump bypass By formed by the line 10 pump bypass, it is possible to keep the emerging from the injection nozzle 3 amount of AufMummedium small in the desired manner and still ensure a sufficient minimum flow for the pump 5, especially for lubrication and / or cooling Pump 5. Furthermore, the pump bypass avoids overshoot in regulating the pump pressure as a function of the output of the production plant, ie With only extremely small pressure fluctuations, for example in the range of a maximum of +/- 0.3 bar, readjustment of the pump pressure can be achieved in an extremely short time, for example in 0.5 sec., even in the case of extreme changes in system performance.
  • the injection nozzle 3 sensor e.g. with an opto-electric sensor 31, for example in the form of a camera, to detect the foaming produced by the high-pressure injection as an actual foaming and to compare it with an associated desired foaming so that relevant parameters of the injection process, in particular injection pressure, etc., can be acted upon or controlled in a controlled manner ,
  • the injection pressure is controlled by the pressure of the pump 5.
  • Other measures are conceivable, for example a control by controlled opening and closing of a bypass line, for example the bypass line 26 and / or by controlled opening and closing of the pump bypass line forming 10.
  • Also different combinations for controlling the injection pressure the injection nozzle 3 are conceivable.
