Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for closing bottles or the like container according to the preamble of claim 1 and to a closing machine according to the preamble of claim 16.
  • beer is already used to effect controlled foaming of the product introduced into the respective container (e.g., bottle or can), each by injecting a foaming agent, e.g. by injecting sterile water or a small amount of the filled product so as to displace the air or oxygen present with the foam formed above the product or product level in the respective container, before then closing the respective container.
  • a foaming agent e.g. by injecting sterile water or a small amount of the filled product so as to displace the air or oxygen present with the foam formed above the product or product level in the respective container, before then closing the respective container.
  • the disadvantage here is, inter alia, that not inconsiderable product losses can occur due to the foaming and it is also necessary to control the foaming process in such a way that foaming or leakage of the product and thus contamination of the container on its outer surface are avoided.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a method and a closing machine, with the avoidance of foaming of the respective product or filling material, a durability and / or quality especially of oxygen-sensitive products impairing oxygen occlusion in filled and sealed containers avoided becomes.
  • the WO 94/25347 A1 discloses a capper in which a gas and closure bell is lowered and sealed onto the shoulder of a container, during which gas is introduced into this interior space to displace the oxygen in the air.
  • a comparable device shows the US 3,246,447 , in which container-like a bell in the closing process encloses the mouth space of a container and in which the necessary closure cap is added, wherein further inert gas can be introduced to displace oxygen from this interior of the bell.
  • An improved solution suggests the EP 0 272 736 A1 in which, in a first step, a vacuum is generated in the closure bell sealed to the container shoulder. Subsequently, an inert gas is then introduced into the evacuated interior of the bell and the container is closed.
  • a disadvantage of these devices is that the individual coverage of containers in terms of machine performance is very limiting.
  • the GB 2 174 682 A describes a Kronkorkenversch multiplier in which a container mouth is received in a circumferential closure space, wherein the container mouth is supported by a circumferential portion and a fixed, radially outer guide member.
  • the closure chamber has lateral supply channels for an inert gas in order to displace oxygen from the gas space in the filled bottles, for which purpose the container mouth is overflowed with inert gas horizontally.
  • the disadvantage here is that in the gas space very high turbulence caused by both rotating and fixed space parts on the other hand, so that for the safe displacement of oxygen from the mouth region of a container very large volumes of inert gas must be expended.
  • the inert gas atmosphere is enclosed in an inert gas space or a partial space of an inert gas space formed (inert gas space or subspace) by or on the capping machine, for example, an enclosure on the capping machine.
  • This design ensures that the space to be supplied with the inert gas and containing the inert gas atmosphere has the smallest possible volume.
  • the containers are each total, i. taken with their entire container height when closing in the inert gas space or subspace, the height of the inert gas space or subspace then corresponds for example substantially only the height of the container.
  • the containers are each at closing only with a mouth region having its container mouth, i. taken with a respective container mouth having part height in the inert gas space or subspace, so that there is a particularly small volume for the space to be supplied with the inert gas.
  • the generally designated 1 in the figures plant is used to fill in the illustrated embodiment as bottles 2 containers with a liquid product or filling, for example me a drink, and for closing the bottles 2 after filling.
  • a liquid product or filling for example me a drink
  • the plant 1 comprises a filling machine 3, which has, for example, the usual configuration known to those skilled in the art with a rotor 4 (arrow A) driven circumferentially about a vertical machine axis and with a multiplicity of filling positions formed on the circumference of the rotor 4, as well as a closing machine 5 circulating design, ie with a about a vertical machine axis VA circumferentially (arrow B) driven rotor 6, at the periphery of a plurality of Verscheasepositionen 7 (eg FIG. 2 ) are formed.
  • a filling machine 3 which has, for example, the usual configuration known to those skilled in the art with a rotor 4 (arrow A) driven circumferentially about a vertical machine axis and with a multiplicity of filling positions formed on the circumference of the rotor 4, as well as a closing machine 5 circulating design, ie with a about a vertical machine axis VA circumferentially (arrow B) driven rotor 6, at the periphery
  • the bottles 2 become upright, i. with its bottle axis oriented in the vertical direction via a conveyor 8 the u.a. supplied by a transport or inlet star 9.1 container or bottle inlet 9 of the filling machine 3.
  • the filled bottles 2 pass via a transport path 10 formed by a plurality of transport stars 10.1 - 10.3 individually to one of the closing positions 7 of the closing machine 5 and are sealed after closing via a container outlet 11 forming transport or outlet star 11.1 on the conveyor 12 for transporting the filled and closed bottles 2 passed on.
  • the closing positions 7 are provided on the circumference of the rotor 6 at uniform angular intervals around the vertical machine axis VA of the closing machine 5.
  • each closing position 7 consists for this purpose of a closing tool 14 and a container or bottle carrier 15 which is provided below the associated Verschierwerkmaschines 14 and formed in the illustrated embodiment as a bottle plate on which the respective bottle 2 stands up during closing with its bottom 2.1.
  • the closing positions 7 or their closing tools 14 are, in a manner known per se to the person skilled in the art, designed such that, when the rotor 6 is rotated about the axis VA at a closure feed position 16 (FIG. Fig. 2 ) each record a closure 13, this closure 13 then on a subsequent to the position 16 angular range of rotation of the rotor 6 on the Place container or bottle mouth 2.2 of the respective bottle 2 and fix at this mouth by pressing with a punch 14.1 and by deforming with a closing cone 14.3, as shown in the FIG. 2 is shown on the right at the position 17.
  • the peculiarity of the capping machine 5 is that the closure of the bottles 2 with the closures 13 takes place in an inert gas atmosphere, i. the closing tools 14, i. their functional with the closures 13 and 2 bottles functional elements, namely in the illustrated embodiment, the stamp 14 'and closing cones 14 "are arranged in an inert gas 18, which is constantly traversed by an inert gas and the atmosphere has an at least greatly reduced oxygen content Inert gas space 18 or into a subspace 18.1 of this inert gas chamber 18 also reaches the bottles 2 with their mouth region having the bottle mouth 2.2 in the illustrated embodiment.
  • the inert gas space 18 is designed as an annular space surrounding the axis VA, for example limited by a plurality of wall elements, namely by an outer, the axis AV concentrically enclosing circular cylindrical wall element 19, by an interior, the axis VA also concentrically enclosing circular cylindrical wall element 20, by a in a plane arranged perpendicular to the axis VA and this axis concentrically enclosing lower annular wall member 21 and by an axis VA enclosing upper annular wall element 22nd
  • the wall elements 20-22 are provided on the rotor 6 in such a way that the wall element 21 extends outwardly as far as the lower edge of the wall element 19 and the inert gas space 18 there except for one between the wall elements 19 and 21 remaining gap 24 closes.
  • the diameter of the wall elements 19 and 20 is selected so that the wall element 19 is further away from the axis VA than the closing tools 5 and is sufficiently radially spaced therefrom.
  • the diameter of the wall element 19 concentrically enclosed by the wall element 20 is selected such that it is closer to the axis VA than the closing tools 5 and is sufficiently radially spaced therefrom.
  • an opening 25 is provided at each closing position 7, through which the respective bottle 2, when closing from below, extends into the lower partial space 18.1 of the inert gas chamber 18 with its mouth region having the bottle mouth 2.2.
  • the container carrier 15 for example, by lifting devices, not shown, in each case an axial direction controlled parallel to the axis VA can be raised and lowered. After the transfer of a respective bottle 2 to a closing position 7, the first lowered container carrier 15 is raised for the closing operation and the respective bottle 2 thereby moves with its mouth region through the opening 25 into the subspace 18.1. After closing the relevant bottle 2 is lowered again with the respective container carrier 15, so that it is completely outside of the inert gas 18.
  • the wall member 21 is formed, for example, as a flat disc with receiving pockets located at its edge for the container neck.
  • the containers are inserted without changing their height in the place by suitable Studentsubstoff in these receiving pockets.
  • the open outer edges of the pockets are closed, for example by a non-rotating element, whereby the sterile air consumption can be kept low.
  • the outer wall element 19 is provided with an opening 26.
  • the inert gas terminals 27 are provided which are distributed in the upper region of the wall element 19 about the axis VA.
  • the connections 27 each open into an upper subspace 18.2 of the inner space 18.
  • a perforated intermediate wall 28 is provided between the two subspaces 18.1 and 18.2 .
  • This is also annular in the illustrated embodiment and arranged in a plane perpendicular to the axis VA.
  • Through the perforated intermediate wall 28 (perforated plate or laminator) is achieved in the subspace 18.1 a uniformly distributed laminar or substantially uniformly distributed laminar flow of the inert gas in a vertical direction from top to bottom, ie with a direction of the bottle mouths 2.2 direction of flow, as shown in the Figures 2-4 indicated by the arrows C.
  • the inert gas supplied via the connections 27 and via the nozzle 29 exits from the inert gas space 18 or from the subspace 18.1 at openings which, in the lower area of the subspace 18.1, are not only separated by the gap 23 but also, in particular, by the respective annular gap between the latter Edge of the openings 25 and the mouth areas of the bottles 2 and the opening 26 are formed so that the bottles 2 are flowed around at its mouth region, the VerschJacqueswerkmaschinee 14 and the closures 3 to the Verschetzwerkmaschinemaschinen 14 and the supply of inert gas and thus at a low inert gas consumption, the product or the contents harmful oxygen entry in the bottles 2 is effectively prevented.
  • the nozzles 29 it is possible to avoid a quality and / or durability impairing oxygen entry into the contents, although the filling of the bottles 2 and also the transport of the filled bottles 2 via the transport path 10 to the capping machine 5, for example take place under normal atmosphere and only the closure of the bottles 2 is made in the inert gas atmosphere, so as to ensure in particular the lowest possible consumption of inert gas.
  • the inert gas 18 thus has a reduced compared to the height of the bottle height and thus can be performed with relatively small volume.
