Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a system for filling beverage containers with the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • the invention also relates to a corresponding method for filling beverage containers with the features of the preamble of claim 8.
  • a generic transport and filling system is, for example, from the WO 2006/087088 A2 out.
  • the disclosed there plant comprises arranged on columnar support housings rotating feed and discharge stars that define container transport paths.
  • Feed and discharge stars communicate with at least one rotating filler carousel, on the outer periphery of which a plurality of container positions are arranged.
  • suitable Be Pavllorganen During a circulation of the carousel between feed and discharge star the containers are filled by means of suitable Be Pavllorganen.
  • Such a filling element is, for example, from the EP 1 426 325 A1 out.
  • the gripping devices on the feed and discharge star and / or on the filler carousel may be formed, for example, in the manner as described in the EP 0 939 044 A1 are described. These grippers are individually controllable, so that an exact transfer between the individual rotating transport wheels and possibly further transport devices is made possible.
  • the invention relates to a plant for filling beverage containers, which has at least one stationary anchored and permanently circulating transport and filling system with a fixed number of positions for individual beverage containers.
  • the transport and filling system has a defined transfer point to take over empty beverage containers, facilities for holding and filling the beverage containers during a circulation of the transport and filling system, and a defined transfer point for transferring filled beverage containers.
  • the transfer point is located relatively close to the transfer point.
  • the transport and filling system can be formed, in particular, by a starwheel rotating about a vertical axis, on whose outer circumference a multiplicity of holding devices for beverage containers, in particular bottles, are arranged.
  • the beverage containers or bottles are filled with a liquid or a drink.
  • the transfer point and at the transfer point are typically rotating bodies of smaller diameter, which provide for a positionally accurate supply of empty containers to the transport and filling system or its star wheel and a positionally accurate removal of filled containers and for transfer to other transport facilities.
  • These rotating organs are often also designed as star wheels, wherein the supply of empty containers via a so-called. Inlet star and the removal of filled containers via a so-called.
  • Each of the three stars rotating about vertical axes are arranged such that the circumferential circles of the inlet star and the outlet star defined by the position of the bottles each touch the circumferential circle of the larger star wheel of the transporting and filling system which is likewise defined by the position of the bottles. In this way, an exact transfer of beverage containers between the star wheels is possible.
  • the smaller star wheels of the inlet star and the outlet star are relatively small spaced from each other, since a larger proportion of the filling of the large star wheel per revolution can be used, the closer the inlet and outlet stars are arranged to each other.
  • Such a transport system can, for example.
  • WO 2006/087088 A2 be configured described manner.
  • the filling elements used in this system for filling the beverage containers or bottles can, for example.
  • the EP 1 426 325 A1 Filling device for plastic bottles correspond.
  • the beverage containers or bottles can be held at the respective positions on the outer peripheries of the rotating starwheels, for example by means of controllable bottle grippers, as shown in the EP 0 939 044 A1 are disclosed.
  • a detection device is used to detect a beverage container not being transferred from the circulating transport and filling system at the transfer point. Since due to the slightly spaced inlet and outlet stars a not transferred from the transport and filling beverage container can already collide with a supplied to the same holding position empty beverage container, such beverage containers must be detected to detect and / or avoid such collisions due to a fault could not be delivered by the transport and filling system at the intended transfer point.
  • the detection device can, for example, comprise a mechanical button which can detect a beverage container still located immediately after the transfer point in the transport and filling system by scanning.
  • the detection device may also comprise an optical detection device for detecting a beverage container still located immediately after the transfer point in the transport and filling system.
  • the detection device may additionally comprise an acoustic detection device for detecting a beverage container still located immediately after the transfer point in the transport and filling system.
  • the detection device may be coupled with an ejection device for the removal of beverage containers supplied to the transport and filling system.
  • This ejection device is expediently assigned to a feed device for feeding empty beverage containers to the transport and filling system. It may in particular be assigned to the inlet star and / or combined with it.
  • the ejection device can be located in the area of the feed device before the takeover point be arranged. The ejection device is arranged in this case at a defined position and spaced from the transfer point. In addition, it is synchronized with respect to their position with the detection device and the circulating transport and filling system.
  • the transport and filling system can be stopped after detecting a non-handed filled container, which due to the relatively large rotating masses and the associated moments of inertia typically requires at least a stopping distance of about half a revolution of the transport and filling system.
  • the filling members are provided with sensor devices which detect an already filled bottle or an already filled container, so that a repeated filling process can be prevented.
  • the invention further relates to a method for filling beverage containers by means of at least one stationary anchored and permanently circulating transport and filling system having a fixed number of positions for individual beverage containers, the empty beverage containers are fed to a defined transfer point, during a cycle of transport - and filling system held and filled be removed at a defined transfer point from the transport and filling system.
  • the transfer point is located near the transfer point.
  • the method according to the invention is characterized in that a beverage container transferred at the transfer point is not detected by the circulating transport and filling system.
  • the detection of a beverage container not transferred from the circulating transport and filling system can be effected in particular by mechanical means and / or by means of optical detection and / or by means of ultrasound-supported detection.
  • a single one of a number of supplied empty beverage containers is ejected.
  • the beverage container is expediently ejected in the region of a feed device for feeding empty beverage containers to the transport and filling system.
  • the empty beverage container is ejected in the area of the feeder before the transfer point.
  • the empty beverage container is ejected at a defined position and spaced from the transfer point. It is preferably provided that the empty beverage container is ejected in synchronization with the detection of the unfilled filled beverage container and with the circulating transport and filling system.
  • the transport and filling system is stopped when a non-transferred filled beverage container is detected.
  • the transport and filling system continues to operate and is ejected during each round at occupied by the unfilled filled beverage container takeover position, an empty beverage container instead of a takeover of the transport and filling system.
  • An advantageous embodiment may be that in an expected number of cycles of the transport and filling system before a regular inspection and / or cleaning stop the transport and filling system continues to operate. In this variant, therefore, an immediate stop of the system is dispensed with, which can be useful in particular in an imminent regular stop the system.
  • the filled bottle still in the transport and filling system can, if necessary, rotate several times in this process variant, if a transfer should not succeed even on the next passing of the transfer unit.
  • the respective container position must be kept free when feeding the empty containers, in order to avoid a collision. This can be ensured by means of the inventive detection of the unfilled filled container and the coupled therewith ejection of the corresponding with this position on the transport and filling system container in the feed, ie even before the transfer point to the rotating transport and filling system.
