Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for filling containers with liquid.
  • Such a method is known from DE-AS 1 114 719 known.
  • This document relates to a method for hot filling of carbonated drinks, especially beer.
  • the filling takes place via a device which has a valve-controlled filling element with an outlet opening, through which the liquid enters the container.
  • a return gas path in the form of a return gas pipe, which extends through the valve into the container and through which the air displaced by the liquid can escape from the container.
  • return gas pipes continue to determine the filling level in the container. It is unavoidable that liquid and possibly occurring foam wets the return gas pipe outside and inside and there may be caught.
  • the stuck in the interior of the return gas tube foam from the previous filling process disturb the new filling, so for example, extend the filling time, reduce the filling level or excessive occurrence of foam by disturbing the pressure relief with clogged return gas pipe to lead.
  • the return gas pipe is hosed down or blown out as a precaution after each filling operation, so that liquid residues possibly present in the return gas pipe reach the outside. Blowing is, however, an additional operation that takes time, thereby extending the filling process.
  • cleaning agent is consumed. If water is used as a cleaning agent, it must be additionally collected and discharged.
  • blowing out of the return gas pipe is carried out with inert gas, so for example CO 2 , which passes into the atmosphere after blowing and is lost.
  • inert gas so for example CO 2
  • the single blow-off process consumes very little gas, the gas consumption adds considerably to the large number of blow-off operations.
  • the DE-A-43 43 425 describes a method for filling containers with liquid, according to the preamble of claim 1 containing a cleaning step.
  • the cleaning step is carried out fully automatically by a control command or by retrieving a corresponding program of the control device also controlling the machine during filling.
  • a rinsing sleeve must be connected to the filler valve, which is done via a lifting element.
  • the cleaning liquid is introduced via at least one gas path, which is connected to the return gas pipe.
  • the US-A-2006/0185755 describes a method for automatic cleaning of a filling machine, which is carried out periodically. This may be done by a controller automatically initiating the cleaning after a predetermined interval, which interval may be a time interval or a predetermined number of filled containers or a predetermined flow rate for filling a plurality of containers.
  • the EP-A-1 544 155 describes a filling element for filling containers, such as bottles or the like., With a discharge opening, which is arranged in a recess into which the respective container extends when filling with its container mouth. It is provided a cleaning option that requires that the recess is closed by a plate-shaped closing element. The cleaning or rinsing should be done from time to time, suggesting a cleaning at predetermined time intervals.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to design the known method economical.
  • the requirement is determined by determining deviations from a filling period and / or the level reached in the filled container.
  • the determination as to whether there is a need for cleaning can be made, for example, by determining process parameters and / or quality assurance criteria which have to be determined anyway during or after the filling process and whose deviation from the setpoint value could be due to contamination of the return gas path.
  • the cleaning is performed only over a certain number of filling operations and then automatically terminated until a deviation of setpoints is detected again.
  • the cleaning is preferably carried out by blowing.
  • the single FIGURE shows a schematic representation of a filling device 1 of a filling machine for container 2.
  • the filling device 1 is part of a not shown Rotary Jacobstoffmaschine for filling bottles with a CO 2 -containing beverage.
  • the filling device 1 includes a housing 3, at the lower end of a filler neck 4 is formed. At this closes at the top, a valve seat 5, which cooperates with a height-movably mounted in the housing 3 valve body 6.
  • the spout of the liquid is controlled in the container 2.
  • the control takes place via a control device, not shown, such that the valve body 6 is lifted from the valve seat 5 until the liquid in the container 2 has reached a predetermined filling level.
  • the filling device 1 further includes a vertically mounted mounted centering bell 7, which is provided with a sealing ring 8.
  • the centering bell 7 ensures an exact centering of the bottle mouth for the filling process.
  • the sealing ring 8 causes a good seal between the bottle 2 pressed onto the filling device 1 and the filler neck 4.
  • a return gas path is formed, which is generally used in the illustrated embodiment, as in filling machines, as return gas pipe 9 which is arranged so that it extends into the container 2, when the container 2 against the centering 7 and the Centering bell 7 is pressed against the housing 3 in the filling position.
  • the return gas pipe 9 extends in the illustrated embodiment through an opening in the valve body. 6
  • span gas can be introduced into the container 2 via the return gas path before the liquid is filled.
  • This tension gas or the air present in the container 2 is displaced by the liquid during filling and vented via the return gas path.
  • the filling process is terminated and the container 2 separated from the filling device 1.
  • the filling device 1 is prepared after the removal of the first container for the filling of a second container.
  • the container 2 Before or after sealing, the container 2 passes through various quality control stations, in which it is determined, for example, whether the setpoint of the filling level is reached, whether excessive foaming has taken place or the like.
  • deviations in the predetermined process sequence such as filling process changes or filling errors
  • the operating parameters such as the filling end (filling level), the filling time (measure of the liquid flow rate) or the like and / or certain quality assurance criteria, such as the fill level detected in the container, the appearance of foam indicative of uncontrolled discharge, or the like, does not conform to the predetermined set points (where appropriate, within certain tolerance limits)
  • certain quality assurance criteria such as the fill level detected in the container, the appearance of foam indicative of uncontrolled discharge, or the like
  • a cleaning process for the return gas path is initiated.
  • the cleaning of the return gas path is carried out by blowing with the aid of a gas jet, preferably an inert gas such as CO 2 , or air, from the side facing away from the container 2.
  • the cleaning can be done by one or more air surges through the same Raggasweg from the container 2 side facing away.
