Definitions

  • the invention relates to a filling system according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Filling systems including those for non-pressurized filling of bottles or the like, with a cold or hot product, i. for cold filling or hot filling are known.
  • a cold or hot product i. for cold filling or hot filling
  • the object of the invention is to show a filling system, which is characterized by a simplified construction. To solve this problem, a filling system according to the patent claim 1 is formed.
  • the filling system according to the invention which is suitable for a pressureless cold filling or hot filling, is characterized first by the fact that only one control valve per filling element is required for switching between a fast filling and a slow filling.
  • the filling system for the hot filling is also designed such that the filling elements are heated during filling pauses or interruptions of the filling process by the hot filling material which flows through the filling elements with closed liquid valves, preferably in one Circulation (hot circulation) flows through.
  • a second flow path is formed in each filling element, which is preferably part of a filling material circuit enclosing the boiler or another reservoir for the filling material with a heating or heating system.
  • FIG. 1 shows, in a simplified representation, a filling system according to the invention, together with a bottle lifted onto the filling element of this system;
  • FIG. 2 the filling system of Figure 1 in an operating condition with interrupted hot filling.
  • the filling system generally designated 1 in FIGS. 1 and 2 is part of a filling machine of a circulating design for filling a liquid filling good into bottles 2 or similar containers.
  • the filling system 1 consists essentially of a filling element 3 and of a bottle or container carrier 4 associated with this filling element, which in the illustrated embodiment serves to hold the bottles 2 on a mouth flange 2.2 formed below the mouth of the bottle 2.1 and, for example, is fork-shaped therefor.
  • the filling element 3 and the associated container carrier 4 are provided with a plurality of similar filling elements 3 and container carrier 4 on the circumference of a rotatable about a vertical axis of the machine rotor 5 of the filling machine.
  • the filling elements 3 is located on the rotor 5 a common for all filling elements boiler 6, which is filled level controlled during the filling operation up to a predetermined level N.
  • a gas chamber 6.1 and a liquid chamber 6.2 are formed.
  • the liquid product is fed to the boiler 6 controlled by a supply line, not shown.
  • a liquid channel 8 is formed, which is connected via a line 9 with the liquid chamber 6.2 of the example formed as a ring boiler boiler 6 in conjunction.
  • the liquid valve 10 is provided, specifically for the controlled delivery of the liquid filling material via a discharge opening 11 which is formed on the underside of the filling element of the local open end of the liquid channel 8.
  • the liquid valve 10 consists essentially of a arranged in the liquid channel 8 valve body 10.1, which cooperates with a valve seat 10.2.
  • the valve body 10.1 is arranged on a coaxially arranged with the vertical Greelementachse arranged at both ends open gas pipe 13, which also serves as a valve lifter for actuating the liquid valve 10 and cooperates with an actuator 12 for this purpose.
  • the lower open end of the gas pipe 13 is enclosed by the annular discharge opening 11.
  • the upper open end of the gas pipe 13 opens into a gas chamber 14 formed in the housing 7.
  • the pressing of the respective bottle 2 against the filling element 3 takes place in this embodiment, at least supportive by the pressure prevailing in the gas space 14 and acting on the pressing linkage 4.1 of the respective container carrier.
  • the gas chamber 14 communicates with a channel formed in the housing section 15.1 in connection, which together with a further channel section 15.2 and a control valve 17 arranged between these channel sections a controlled connection or a controlled flow path 16 between the gas space 14 and an annular channel 18th forms, which is provided for all filling elements 3 of the filling machine together on the rotor 5 and is connected via a line 19 to the gas space 6.1 of the boiler 1 in conjunction.
  • a throttled channel 20 is provided in the housing 7, via which there is a constant, but throttled connection between the gas space 14 and the annular channel 18.
  • a channel 21 is further formed, which connects the liquid channel 8 and the subsection 8.1 of each filling element 3 with an annular channel 22, which in turn is provided on the rotor 5 for all filling elements 3 of the filling machine and the in the liquid channel in the flow direction in front of the valve seat 10.2 of the liquid valve 10 opens, in the vicinity of this valve seat.
  • a check valve 23 is provided which opens for a flow direction from the liquid channel 8 in the annular channel 22, for a flow in the opposite direction but blocks.
  • a line 24 with an electrically controllable valve or solenoid valve 25th
  • the actuating device 12 as well as the control valve 17 or its actuating device are each pneumatically actuated and are not shown above. controlled electrically controllable valves (solenoid valves) controlled.
  • the actuating elements 12 as well as the control valves 17 of the individual filling elements 3 are individually controlled by a central control unit 26.
  • the liquid valve 10 and the control valve 17 are closed.
  • the aforementioned valves are each in their closed state, unless the open state is explicitly stated.
  • the filling system 1 makes possible a wide variety of filling methods, for example
  • a non-pressure cold filling such as juices or other still drinks as well
  • a non-pressurized hot filling such as juices or other still drinks of still drinks.
  • the process steps in cold or hot filling are:
  • Brake filling Controlled by the supplied from the flow meter 27 measurement signal from the control device 26, the control valve 17 is closed so that the displaced by the liquid contents of the bottle 2 air or gas quantity only on the throttled channel 20 and the channel 15.2 can flow into the annular channel 22 and thus a brake filling with reduced filling speed (the bottle inflowing amount of product per unit time) takes place.
  • Filling Induced by the signal supplied by the flow meter 27, the liquid valve 10 is closed via the control device 26 as soon as the required amount of filling material is introduced into the bottle 2.
  • the above-described filling method is fundamentally identical in the case of unpressurised cold filling (filling of the filling material in the cold state or at ambient temperature) and also in non-pressurized hot filling (hot filling material, in particular also at a temperature preventing a germination).
  • a filling machine and valve 25 is open to the individual filling elements via the line 9 hot product from the boiler 6 fed to the section 8.1 of the liquid channel 8 of each filling element 3 as well as the channel portion 21 flows through the opening of the check valve 23 and is returned via the annular channel 22 and the line 24 to the boiler 6.
  • This circulation of the hot liquid product through the filling elements 3 is e.g. at an interruption of the filling process and after the closing of all filling elements 3 and the liquid valves started automatically, but in any case interrupted before resuming the filling process by closing the valve 25.
  • the annular channel 22 remains filled with the contents.
  • the check valve is formed by suitable measures, for example by pressurizing the annular channel 22 with the pressure of a sterile pressure medium, for example with sterile compressed air or with the pressure of an inert gas or a sterile air or a steep liquid 23 locked in the closed position, so that the check valve 23 thus blocks the connection between the liquid channel 8 and the annular channel 22.
