Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for loading and unloading an adjusting plate of a freeze-drying plant according to the preamble of claim 1 and a freeze-drying plant according to the preamble of claim 2.
  • the frozen food to be dried in a freeze-drying plant is filled into small vials, and transported with the aid of these vials. Lids are provided on these vials which will be closed after completion of the lyophilization process EP 1 619 459 A1 It is known to bring the filled with the Gefriertrocknungsgut vials on a transfer table and to transport from there with a pusher on an adjusting plate in the interior of the freeze-drying plant.
  • This sliding device may for example be a simple slider. So that during transport, the vials do not accidentally fall off the transfer table, this has on its right and left outside a sobesky. The same applies to the positioning plate inside the freeze-drying system, because side and side limiters are also provided on this positioning plate so that the vials do not accidentally fall off.
  • a conveyor for conveying bottles or the like in which the respective bottles are transported over a longer distance on a conveyor belt, on the right and left side limiters are provided to prevent falling of the bottles from the conveyor belt.
  • These Stepbeskyr comprise vertically to the conveyor belt arranged movable attachment means, where the bottles come to rest. These attachment means are usually arranged around corresponding circulation rollers belts. Now push The bottles transported on the conveyor belt on the belts, so move the belts together with the bottles in the appropriate direction. This reduces the relative speed between the bottles and the belts.
  • the respective bands extend over a certain length and are frictionally held on the deflection rollers. In practice it has been found that a relatively large force has to be applied when touching the bands through the bottles in order to set the band in motion. This is partly because the band has a certain length and that the band is under tension.
  • the object of the present invention is to create a freeze-drying plant and a device of the type mentioned at the outset, so that the vials can be led into and out of the freeze drying plant while maintaining their order and order.
  • a trained according to this technical teaching apparatus and trained according to this technical teaching freeze dryer has the advantage that the movable hollow cylinder of the Sobeskyrs oppose the attacking vials little or no resistance, so that the friction between the actual Sobeskyr and the vials thereby on a Minimum is reduced.
  • This allows the vials to slide along the side limiter without being obstructed.
  • the vials on the edge ie those vials that abut the side limiter, can move as smoothly and quickly as any other vial, with the result that the vials keep their order and order among themselves.
  • This has the great advantage that reviewing the vials after completion of the freeze-drying process will easily determine the location of the insufficiently freeze-dried vials so that rejects can be reduced and potential sources of error identified.
  • the hollow cylinders are arranged so close together that no vial can fall between them.
  • these hollow cylinders are held on an inner pin, they can rotate around their vertical axis friction.
  • the hollow cylinders are set upon rotation of a vial in rotation, so that the vial is given a correspondingly low resistance. This also ensures that the relative speed between the side limiter and the vial is reduced to a minimum.
  • the side limiter comprises two rows of hollow cylinders arranged one above the other, which are preferably arranged offset. This has the advantage that the surface of the Sobeskyrs facing the vials is more uniform, since the irregularities are reduced by the staggered hollow cylinder. This further reduces the forces on the vials so that the vials abutting the side limiters can be moved at approximately the same speed as all other vials, maintaining the order and order of the vials.
  • a device 100 according to the invention for loading and unloading an adjusting plate of a freeze-drying plant, and an embodiment of an associated freeze-drying plant 102 is shown. Both systems are only shown schematically to increase the clarity.
  • the freeze dryer 102 includes a few internally disposed actuators 104 that are vertically slidable.
  • the apparatus for loading and unloading a positioning plate arranged in front of the freeze-drying installation 102 comprises a transfer table 106, a sliding device, not shown here, for moving the vials and a transport device 108, by means of which the vials are fed to and removed from the transfer table 106.
  • a side limiter 110 is provided, which prevents accidental dropping of the vials prevented from the transfer table 106.
  • a substantially identical side limiter 112 is mounted on the right and left edges of the actuator plate 104.
  • the sobeskyr 112 is mounted completely adjacent to the adjusting plate 104, 104 so that when pushing together the vertically displaceable positioning plates 104, the next overlying control plate can also get between the Sobeskyr 112 to stack the individual panels 104 as close to each other.
  • the side limiter 110 has a lower row of hollow cylinders 114 and an upper row of hollow cylinders 116, which are arranged such that the outermost point of their cylinder surface forms the side of the side limiter 110, 112, as it were. All of the hollow cylinders 114, 116 are arranged to rotate about their vertical axis and are held with low friction on a corresponding pin 118, so that a vial striking the hollow cylinder 114, 116 causes it to rotate without experiencing any great resistance in the transport direction.
  • the hollow cylinders 114 of the lower row are offset relative to the hollow cylinders 116 of the upper row, in particular the Fig. 1a and 2a can be seen.
  • a relatively high side wall of the side limiter 110, 112 is created, which causes a low-friction sliding of the vial along the side limiter 110, 112.
  • the relative speed between the transported vial with the Sobeskyr 110, 112 can be reduced to a minimum in order to achieve the most uniform transport of all vials.
