Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a filling process and apparatus particularly suitable for use in the field of aseptic or non-aseptic filling machines.
  • Such machine is placed at the end of the product preparation and sterilization cycle, and is designed for automatic container filling.
  • containers are preformed, sterile and hermetically sealed bags.
  • Such bags have a variable capacity and are made of a special film, ensuring a long shelf-life of the preserved product.
  • the filling machine fills the bag through a plastic spout directly applied to the bag and sealed with a plug, also made of plastic.
  • the most critical part of an aseptic/non-aseptic filling machine is the filling head, also known as sterile chamber.
  • the chamber has electric/pneumatic/mechanical means installed therein for accomplishing the following tasks:
  • a valve is provided for drawing/diverting the product from the main line to a secondary line.
  • the machine is composed of:
  • An additional on/off valve may be also provided between the two machines, usually belonging to the filling machine.
  • the filling machine Since the filling machine is totally independent of the machine connected thereto, it must be washed and sterilized before being used with the product.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a filling method for aseptic or non-aseptic filling machines in which the product fill valve and hence its respective head are no longer external to the main product line (i.e. branching off from it) but are an integral part thereof; in other words, this fill valve is mounted in line and is stationary.
  • the filling head itself acts as an on/off/filling valve, as it has a product inlet point, a product outlet point and a filling point.
  • connections to the head are reversible.
  • FIG. 1 there is shown a block diagram of an example of connection for traditional aseptic filling, whereas the method of the present invention is shown in Figure 2 .
  • the product appears to be drawn from a tank and conveyed to a sterilizer, where it remains for a predetermined time to stabilize and uniform temperature (holding time) and is later cooled.
  • the unpackaged product comes back to the upstream machine, i.e. the product tank, from the main line L1.
  • the filling method of the present invention greatly improves the current technique because it eliminates the need for a bypass system from the main line and requires no return lines L3 from the washing and sterilization stations, because said washing and sterilization cycles on the product side are eliminated.
  • the filling machine will washed and sterilized at the same time as the main line L1 of the product (by the sterilizer itself) thereby reducing operating times and contamination hazards.
  • the filling head T also acts as a filling valve, the latter being mounted directly in line to the main line L1.
  • the head has a product inlet point PI, connected with the upstream line L1, an outlet point PU, which continues into the downstream line L1 and a filling outlet Ur from which the product flows into the underlying container 5 or bag, upon opening of a special and corresponding shut-off valve or gate automatically controlled by means of known type.
  • the filling machine By providing the filling machine with a filling head T having an inlet PI and an outlet PU that can be directly connected to the main product line L1, easy connection is ensured with any existing sterilizer line, as well as convenient connection, possibly of multiple filling machines R in series with the lines L1.
