Definitions

  • the invention relates to two methods according to claim 1 and 2, and to a filling system according to claim 7.
  • filling systems or filling machines of circulating design for filling quantity or (filling) volume-controlled filling of bottles or similar containers with a multiplicity of filling elements are also known, on a rotor driven peripherally around a vertical machine axis.
  • Each filling element is associated with its own flow meter, for example a magnetic inductive flow meter (MID), which during the filling phase, i. after opening a provided in the respective filling element liquid valve which measures the respective container amount of filling material and preferably constantly transmits a corresponding measurement signal to a control unit, which then causes the closing of the liquid valve and thus the completion of the filling phase upon reaching the desired Gregutmenge.
  • MID magnetic inductive flow meter
  • the object of the invention is to provide a method which allows a volume or volume controlled filling of bottles or similar containers with simplified means at the same time reduced cost.
  • a method according to claim 1 is formed.
  • a filling system is the subject of patent claim 7.
  • the peculiarity of the invention is that filled in each filling phase at the same time or approximately at the same time at least two bottles or containers at least two common flow meter filling stations and thereby differences in the filling speed of the filling stations are compensated by time correction, for example by time-delayed opening and / or closing the filling points or the liquid valves of these filling points. Differences in filling speeds can have different causes.
  • the respective filling stations or filling elements associated with a common filling station group or a common flow meter are at different height levels, i. arranged offset in the vertical direction against each other.
  • the generally designated 1 in the figure filling system is part of a filling machine of rotating design for filling bottles 2 with a liquid product.
  • the filling system 1 consists in the illustrated embodiment of two filling elements 3 and 4, which are at different height level, ie offset in the vertical direction or one above the other on a vertical machine axis VM circumferentially driven rotor 5 are provided, namely the filling element 3 at a higher level as the filling element 4.
  • Each filling element 3 or 4 is associated with a bottle or container carrier, not shown, which holds the respective, with its bottle axis oriented in the vertical direction bottle 2 with its bottle mouth 2.1 on the corresponding filling element 3 or 4 for the filling process, namely. in sealing position or for a free jet filling at a distance from the filling element or the Golfelementabgabeö réelle.
  • a plurality of Greelementpresen each consisting of a filling element 3 and a filling element 4 and the associated container or bottle carriers is provided.
  • the filling machine is designed so that, when the rotor 5 rotates, the bottles 2 are transferred to the bottle or container carrier at a bottle or container inlet, and the filled bottles 2 are taken off at a container outlet from the rotor 5 or the container supports there.
  • a boiler 6 which is filled level controlled at least during the filling process up to the level N with the liquid product, in such a way that in the boiler above the Medgutspiegels a gas chamber 6.1 and below the Greps Liquid space 6.2 result.
  • the boiler 6 is furthermore designed so that it or its bottom are located clearly above the discharge openings of the upper filling elements 3.
  • the filling element pairs or groups formed by one filling element 3 and one filling element 4 are connected by means of a separate line 8, in which a flow meter 9 common to the two filling elements 3 and 4 of each filling element pair ,
  • a magneto-inductive flow meter is provided, which is flowed through during the filling of the bottles 2 of the relevant Artelementpases of the liquid product from the boiler 6 and one of the Automatchellgutmenge both filling elements 3 and 4 corresponding measurement signal to a central control unit 10 of the filling machine, for example a computer supplies.
  • each line branches 8 in lines 11 and 12, of which the line 11, the filling element 3 and the line 12, the filling element 4 connects to the output of the flow meter 9.
  • a control or liquid valve 13 in the line 11 and 14 (in the line 12)
  • the control or fluid valves 13 and 14, which are for example the usual liquid valves of the filling elements 3 and 4, are individually controllable, by the control device 10.
  • at least one adjustable throttle 15 is further provided.
  • the control of the filling system 1 or the filling machine is basically in the form that after positioning a respective bottle 2 on the filling element 3 and the filling element 4, the filling phase is introduced simultaneously to both filling elements, by simultaneously opening the liquid valves 13 and 14th
  • the total quantity of filling material then flowing to the two bottles 2 of the filling element group is measured with the flow meter 9 and a corresponding measuring signal is transmitted continuously to the control device 10.
  • the filling rate i. the speed at which the liquid product flows with open liquid valves 13 and 14 of the respective bottle 2, u.a.
  • the filling speed of this filling element is generally greater than the filling speed of the filling element. 3
  • control device 10 By a corresponding, stored in the control device 10 control program therefore takes place at the end of the filling process closing the liquid valve 14 before closing the liquid valve 13 in such a way that by this time correction after completion of the filling phase measured by the flow meter 9 Automatchellgutmenge on both bottles. 2 evenly distributed, ie both bottles 2 after completion of the filling phase contain the required amount of filling material.
  • the time delay in closing the liquid valve 13 is determined, for example, by a test run, e.g. in the form that the time required for the volume-accurate filling of the bottles 2 on the filling element 4 is determined and stored as a shutdown for the liquid valve 14 in the memory of the controller 10, and then taking into account this switch-off and supplied by the flow meter 9, the total volume corresponding measurement signal, the liquid valve 13 is then closed when the measured total volume corresponds to a predetermined value.
  • a test run e.g. in the form that the time required for the volume-accurate filling of the bottles 2 on the filling element 4 is determined and stored as a shutdown for the liquid valve 14 in the memory of the controller 10, and then taking into account this switch-off and supplied by the flow meter 9, the total volume corresponding measurement signal, the liquid valve 13 is then closed when the measured total volume corresponds to a predetermined value.
  • a test run e.g. in the form that the time required for the volume-accurate filling of the bottles 2 on the
  • the flow or filling speed at the lower filling element 4 can be adjusted so that it is equal to or at least approximately equal to the flow or filling speed at the filling element 3, so that a simultaneous or approximately simultaneous closing the liquid valves 13 and 14 is possible.
  • the filling elements 3 and 4 are also formed with the usual, controlled gas paths, which are provided with the rotor 5, for all filling elements 3 and 4 of the filling machine common annular channels 16 and 17 in combination, via a Line 18 with the gas space 6.1 of the boiler (ring channel 16) or via a line 19 (ring channel 17) are connected to the atmosphere and / or with a vacuum or vacuum source.
  • a significant advantage of the filling system 1 or a corresponding filling machine is a considerable reduction of the required number of flow meters 9, i. in the embodiment described above with two filling elements 3 and 4 per filling element group and flow meter 9, their number compared to conventional filling systems or filling machines can be reduced by 50%, which contributes to a significant reduction in the overall cost of a filling machine.
  • At least one of the two bottle or container carrier can be formed with a weighing device or with a corresponding sensor so as to detect the respective bottle 2 inflowed amount of filling by weighing constantly and the Control device 10 to provide a corresponding measurement signal available from the then taking into account the measurement signal of the flow meter 9, the control of the liquid valves 13 and 14 for a volume accurate filling of the bottles 2 on both filling elements 3 and 4.
  • Another way to compensate for irregularities in the filling times and quantities is also in the outlet of the filling machine means, e.g. Provide sensors, or cameras with image processing systems that measure the level and / or capacity of filled using one and the same flow meter 9 bottles 2 and compare. Differences determined here can then be compensated for by closing time corrections to the closing of the liquid valves 13 and 14 in subsequent filling phases.
  • the compensating of the differences takes place by influencing the at least one adjustable throttle 15 effected by the means.
