Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for transporting objects and in particular containers.
  • Various devices for the treatment of objects and in particular of containers are known from the prior art. It is also known that such containers are treated within a clean or sterile room and then removed from this sterile room. In this case, it is possible, for example, for objects or containers to be moved out of the clean rooms or insulators more or less freestanding, supported by railings, on commonly used conveyor belts. It is thus possible for the respective conveyor belt to run out of the sterile area via deflection rollers and thus into the soiled area and back again. In this way, it can happen that unsterile parts, such as non-sterile parts of conveyor belts, get into the clean room and thus contaminate it.
  • US 5,406,772 discloses an apparatus and a method according to the preamble of claim 1 and 12, respectively.
  • Applicant's prior art discloses a solution whereby an additional gray area is created as a buffer between the sterile area and the environment. Within this gray area, which as well as the sterile area has to be cleaned and disinfected, a transfer from a first strip to a second strip is installed. The first band runs between the sterile area and the gray area and the second band runs out of the gray area to the outside, whereby a direct entry of germs and contaminants from the environment in the Sterile area is largely avoided.
  • Corresponding partitions of the sterile room are usually arranged transversely to the transport direction of the containers. A disadvantage of this procedure is that the objects can more easily fall over when transferring from a capper outlet star to the conveyor belt or at the overthrust between the two conveyor belts and this in turn can lead to disruptions of plant operation.
  • the above-mentioned problem is relevant in the case of aseptic fillers, for example, in which containers which are filled in a clean room under sterile conditions are removed from the clean room.
  • gray space between the sterile room and the non-sterile environment is ensured by means of ventilation technology that air from the sterile zone flows into this gray room and thus prevents germs from the environment through this gray room in the clean room reach.
  • the arrangement of this clean room thus brings an increased effort with it, since in determining the pressure conditions in this clean room both the sterile room must be considered as well as the non-sterile area.
  • this flap is also transverse to the outlet conveyor, the space in the area of the extending and reversing outlet chain can not be sealed, thereby increasing the MAK (maximum workplace concentration) in the area Environment is deteriorated and lost much air during production.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object to simplify appropriate transport systems for containers from sterile rooms or in sterile rooms. This is inventively achieved by a device according to claim 1 and a method according to claim 12. Advantageous embodiments and further developments are the subject of the dependent claims.
  • An inventive device for transporting objects or containers has a first transport device, which transports the objects along a predetermined transport path, and a sterile room, within which the objects are transported. Furthermore, a second transport device is provided, which adjoins the first transport device.
  • the first transport device is arranged completely inside the sterile room and the second transport device completely outside the sterile room. Furthermore, both the first transport device and the second transport device are arranged in a predetermined transition region along the transport path.
  • a complete arrangement of the transport devices inside or outside the sterile room is understood to mean that in particular those elements which come into contact with the objects or the containers, or also the movable elements of the respective transport devices, are arranged either inside or outside the sterile room , There is thus no mechanical movement between the sterile room and the areas outside of the sterile room.
  • a transfer area or transition area is provided in which both transport devices are arranged along the transport path. This means that here the two transport devices overlap in this area, although one is located completely inside the other and completely outside the sterile room.
  • the transport devices overlap in the transition region in a direction perpendicular to the transport path.
  • the transport devices it is possible, for example, for the transport devices to be arranged, for example, in such a way that the transport devices are arranged next to one another or else parallel to one another in the transition region. It is also possible that only parts of the first transport device and the second transport device are partially arranged in this transition region. This will be explained in more detail with reference to the figures.
  • the two conveyor belts are arranged either completely within the sterile room or completely outside thereof, a continuous disinfection, in particular of the second conveyor or of the second conveyor, can be dispensed with, whereby the overall structure is simplified and costs can be saved. This produces improved hygienic conditions. Also, the total air consumption of the clean room is significantly reduced because the Kochström nature is significantly reduced at the overrun by the improved seal. In addition, the accessibility of the system during maintenance and repair can be improved
  • a separating device between the sterile room and a space arranged outside the sterile room is provided and this separating device extends in the transition region at least in sections relative to the transport path at an angle deviating from 90 °. While in the prior art and the corresponding housing or partitions between the sterile room and the clean room are perpendicular to the transport path, the invention proposes to arrange such walls at a different angle, for example obliquely or along the transport path.
  • Such an inclined wall can be inclined both in the plane of the transport path, as well as in a plane perpendicular thereto.
  • the device is preferably a device which conveys containers out of a sterile room.
  • the device it would also be possible for the device to refer to those systems in which containers are moved into a sterile room. Due to the fact that, in the arrangement according to the invention, the first transport device lies completely in the sterile room and the second transport device completely outside the sterile room or in the non-sterile zone, as mentioned above, there is no mechanical exchange between the sterile and the non-sterile zone.
  • An area from the bottom of the sterile room can be sealed to the upper edge of the transport device, for example statically, by means of metal sheets, since the second transport device or the discharge belt no longer intersects the parting line. From above, for example, can be sealed again via an outlet flap, which can be moved automatically in this arrangement, without this operating personnel is endangered.
  • the outlet flap is in this arrangement preferably within a contact protection of the machine.
  • the corresponding separating device (such as separating plates) can also be preferably installed in the longitudinal direction of the outlet tapes in this embodiment, so that the outlet can be completely sealed even when cleaning or disinfecting the clean room.
  • the second transport device is arranged downstream of the first transport device in a transport direction of the objects.
  • This is preferably such a device, which moves containers, for example, not yet closed, filled containers out of the sterile room.
  • At least one transport device is a driven transport device.
  • both transport devices are driven transport devices. This means that the objects are actively conveyed by both transport devices and not by the mere influence of gravitational forces or the like.
  • the transport device is arranged such that in the transition region, the object is contacted by parts of both transport devices.
  • containers are moved in such a way that they are clamped between two horizontally extending belts, which are driven at the same or different rotational speed.
  • the transfer region it is possible for the container to be contacted by a first belt of the first transport device and by a second belt of the second transport device lying on the opposite side.
  • the containers are conveyed by means of two pairs of straps from the sterile room.
  • the transfer can be done here, for example, from a capper outlet star to the first pair of straps, which are immediately gripped firmly.
  • they can still be supported by a fixed base plate.
  • the separation between the sterile room and the non-sterile space preferably takes place through an inclined wall in accordance with the installation position of the deflection rollers of the respective belts or transport devices.
  • At least one transport device has a conveyor belt which guides the objects at their bottoms.
  • a transport device with laterally arranged belts to be designed as a first transport device and a transport belt which guides the containers at their bottoms as a second transport device.
  • At least one transport device and in particular the first transport device has two opposite conveyor belts or belts, which the Objects on the side wall, the objects are arranged between these two conveyor belts.
  • the device has a transfer device, which conveys the objects from the first transport device to the second transport device.
  • a transfer device which conveys the objects from the first transport device to the second transport device.
  • This may be, for example, inclined plates, along which the containers are conveyed obliquely with respect to the transport path and in particular obliquely with respect to the actual direction of movement of the containers.
  • the present invention is further directed to a device for treating objects with a device of the type described above, and arranged in the sterile room means for the sterile treatment of the objects.
  • a device for treating objects with a device of the type described above, and arranged in the sterile room means for the sterile treatment of the objects.
  • This may be, for example, a bottling plant, which bottles the containers under sterile conditions.
  • the invention can be used in particular in filling systems with high hygienic requirements in isolator design or clean room.
  • the invention is suitable for all types of objects and in particular for all containers such as plastic bottles, glass bottles or cans.
