Definitions

  • the invention relates to a sterilization device for packaging bags, which has an entrance lock, a shaping unit, a filling unit, an exit lock and one or more suitable conveying and / or transport elements, wherein the entrance lock comprises or essentially comprises a UV irradiation device This UV irradiation device is formed, and this UV irradiation device emits pulsed radiation with high power. Furthermore, the invention comprises a method using this sterilization device.
  • the entrance lock comprises or essentially comprises a UV irradiation device
  • This UV irradiation device is formed, and this UV irradiation device emits pulsed radiation with high power.
  • the invention comprises a method using this sterilization device.
  • the technology for solid, rigid containers, bottles or the like, which constitute a monolithic body produced by blown and / or deep drawing processes, is very mature. The surfaces are smooth and substantially free from intractable grooves, wrinkles or the like.
  • WO 05/120960 A1 discloses such aseptic molding, filling and closing process.
  • the object of the invention is thus to disclose the method and an apparatus which does not have the above-mentioned defects and enables a high throughput of the film material.
  • the sterilization device for packaging bag which comprises as essential building segments an entrance lock, a shaping unit, a filling unit, an exit lock and one or more suitable conveying and / or transport elements.
  • the entrance lock comprises a UV irradiation device or the entrance lock is essentially formed from this UV irradiation device.
  • the UV irradiation apparatus is capable of emitting pulsed radiation of high or very high power.
  • the UV irradiation device has a radiation power of 10 to 50 kWatt / cm 2 .
  • Ideal radiant powers are in the range of 15 to 25 kWatt / cm 2 .
  • the advantage of this pulsed radiation is the extremely high rate of mortality from germs, bacteria and viruses. The duration of the
  • Radiation pulse is in the range of 100 ⁇ Se Human to 500 ⁇ Sekache and is ideally 250 ⁇ Se Human to 350 ⁇ Sekache. This pulsed entry avoids overheating and possibly subsequent material damage to the film.
  • photothermal and photochemical reactions there is a very strong increase in pressure and temperature on cell envelopes, wherein the UV component of the radiation causes the destruction of the DANN building blocks, which leads to the destruction of bacteria, fungal spores and viruses, as described in DE 196 13 357 A1. It is achieved without a wet cleaning step and without the use of additional germicidal substances, a germ reduction of log 3 to log 5.
  • the sterilization device can be further developed to the effect that gas inlets are provided on this, which lead into the interior of the entrance lock adjacent.
  • gas inlets are provided on this, which lead into the interior of the entrance lock adjacent.
  • An improvement consists in the fact that the entrance lock is connected to a gas line and at least one gas outlet is arranged at the entrance lock, by means of which a gas stream set opposite to the running direction of the film can be produced during normal operation.
  • This gas flow which flows parallel and opposite to the conveying direction of the film through the lock, in addition to the blocking effect also has a cooling effect for the film in the UV radiation range.
  • the sterilization device can be designed such that a roller reservoir is arranged in front of the entry lock, which is permanently or detachably connected to the input side of the sterilization device.
  • the film can be guided during operation from the roller reservoir into the inlet lock.
  • a method for sterilizing packaging bags in which the sterilization device is used in one of the above-mentioned embodiments, is also encompassed by the invention.
  • film material in a) first step, film material is passed from a roll or other reservoir into the entrance lock, subsequently b) the film is exposed to pulsed UV rays in the area of the entrance lock at least on one side and ideally on the other side, then c) the film is formed into packaging bags, then d) filled and closed these empty packaging bag and in the last step e) lifted the filled packaging bag from the sterilization device by means of suitable transport or promoted.
  • the inventive method for sterilizing packaging bags can be improved if the internal pressure in the sterilization device is higher than the ambient pressure and thus a gas flow is passed through the lock from the inside out.
  • a gas stream is passed into the interior of the sterilization device or at least in the flow direction to the exit of the entrance lock, the gas having clean room quality. This gas is ideally cleaned in operation via filter elements or membrane modules prior to introduction into the interior of the sterilization device.
  • FIG. 1 An embodiment of the sterilization device according to the invention is shown in Figure 1 as a sketchy sectional drawing
  • FIG. 2 shows a detailed view of the entrance lock with the UV irradiation device arranged there.
  • a feeding device 2 is arranged, on which the film roll 3, also referred to as a reserve roll, is suspended.
  • This film roll 3 is rotated substantially continuously during the current process.
  • the film 4 is passed over a punching station 5, where required Stitu stungsstanzungen can be made.
  • Connecting the film 4 runs in the irradiation segment 6, which includes as essential elements the entrance lock 7 and the UV irradiation device 8, as in the example shown a format compensating rocker 9 and suitable deflection elements 10 in the form of rollers or rollers.
  • the Beutelherstellsegment 1 1 connects, in which by suitable means, such as a FaIt- and molding machine 12, the empty packaging bags are made.
  • the empty packaging bags are transferred to the filling segment 13 and filled there, closed and leave the sterilization device 1 via a lock, not shown.
  • a ventilation ceiling 14 In the illustrated device extends over the entire length of the sterilization device 1, a ventilation ceiling 14.
  • This ventilation ceiling 14 includes a filtering material and serves to produce a laminar, turbulence-free flow, the flow direction is symbolically indicated by the vertically downward arrows 15 , The gas outlets are not shown.
  • Fig. 2 shows in detail the original device 2, the punching station 5 and the irradiation segment 6 with the entrance lock 7 and the UV irradiation device 8. It can be clearly seen that the film 4 in the UV irradiation device 8 from both sides starting from the radiation source 16 is irradiated. In this case, the fan-like lines symbolize the UV rays 17. It can also be seen that the horizontal feed-through channel 18 represents the portal into the interior of the sterilization device 1.
