Definitions

  • a filling device is from the DE 20 105 716 U1 known.
  • This known filling device is designed in the form of a filling carousel comprising a carrier rotating about a vertical axis of rotation on the outer circumference of which a multiplicity of filling valves are arranged, which are arranged above holders for packagings, such as bottles, and fill them with a product.
  • the filling valves are supplied via a storage container with the product, which sits on the support of the carousel and rotates with this around the axis of rotation.
  • the filling device further includes a product cycle, which makes it possible, for example in a machine standstill, to drive the product that can not be filled into the packaging into the circuit until filling is again possible.
  • the filling device further machines for container production and container treatment (stretch blow molders, sterilizers, rinsers, etc.) stand downstream and container treatment machines such as capper, inspection machines, labeling, transport, packing and Pallettiermaschinen.
  • the JP 2006-182407 A discloses a filling device with a temperature-stabilized reservoir.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a filling, are reduced in the unproductive non-productive times.
  • the filling valve can be quickly brought to the required temperature or held on this.
  • the filling valve can be quickly cooled back to operating temperature after sterilization, so that you can start immediately with a new filling.
  • a production stop for example, it is possible to maintain the filling valve and thus the product contained therein at operating temperature so that filling can be continued immediately after the fault has ended, without the product being first circulated and by an external heat exchanger had to.
  • the reservoir may comprise an integrated heat exchanger according to an embodiment of the invention.
  • a double-walled embodiment is preferred, with a heat exchange medium flowing between an inner and an outer wall.
  • the reservoir may preferably be double-walled on all sides.
  • To provide the heat exchanger medium with the required temperature of the reservoir is connected to a cooling and / or a heating unit.
  • the reservoir is preferably arranged approximately symmetrically to the axis of rotation on the carousel and rotates with this. This has the advantage that no structurally complex rotary distributor must be provided, which distribute the product on the filling valves.
  • the at least one cooling and / or heating unit should be arranged as close as possible to the reservoir and is preferably on this.
  • the filling device according to the invention can also be operated with at least one cooling and / or heating unit, which is close to the location of the filling and is connected via corresponding media feeders and rotary distributor to this.
  • the filling and / or heating unit should be arranged symmetrically to the axis of rotation of the filling carousel.
  • a channel integrated into the wall of the filling valve, through which a heat exchange medium flows, is a particularly effective heat exchanger with which the filling valve can be brought to operating temperature or maintained at operating temperature.
  • the heat exchanger of the filling valve is supplied by the cooling and / or heating unit, which also supplies the reservoir.
  • the filling device according to the invention is not limited by the filling method used. So it can be used e.g. as weighing filling device, volumetric filling device with flow meter, probe filling device, etc.
  • Fig. 1 shows a highly schematized, sectional representation of a filling device 1, which is formed in the illustrated embodiment as a filling carousel.
  • the filling device 1 comprises a carrier 2, which rotates about a substantially vertical axis of rotation 1 '.
  • a plurality of filling stations 3 are arranged, each of which has a filling valve 4 and a holder 5 for the package to be filled 6, wherein the holder 5 here as a base and the package 6 as a bottle are formed.
  • the filling valve 4 is supplied via a supply line 7 with product, so for example a liquid beverage from a reservoir 8.
  • Fig. 2 shows a heat exchanger 9 integrated.
  • the heat exchanger 9 is formed in the illustrated embodiment as a double wall of the reservoir with an inner wall 8a, an outer wall 8b and a gap 8c between the inner and outer wall, wherein a heat exchange medium flows through the gap 8c.
  • substantially all walls of the reservoir 8 are double-walled, so that all parts of the reservoir can be brought to the required temperature substantially simultaneously.
  • the reservoir 8 contains an inlet line 12 for a sterilizing medium, for example steam, and contains the connections, not shown, for the supply line 7 to the individual filling valves 4.
  • a sterilizing medium for example steam
  • each filling valve 4 includes a wall 13 which encloses a product chamber 14 in which a valve member 15 is moved substantially vertically controlled to open a valve opening 16 and close.
  • the filling valve 4 according to the invention is equipped with a heat exchanger 17, which is preferably integrated in the wall 13 and extends at least over the vertical height of the product chamber 14, from the (not shown) inlet of the supply line 7 to just above the valve opening 16.
  • the heat exchanger 17 includes a channel 18 which is enclosed by a feed line 18a and a return line 18b in a circuit of a heat exchange medium.
  • the supply line 18a and the return line 18b are preferably connected to the cooling and / or heating unit 10, which also supplies the storage container 8.
  • the channel 18 contains, as Fig. 3B shows a plurality of bores or ribs 19 which extend in the axial direction of the wall 13, wherein each two adjacent bores or ribs 19 via grooves 20 alternately at the lower and upper end to the continuous channel 18 are interconnected.
  • only the filling valve can be provided with the heat exchanger according to the invention.
  • other parts of the system in particular those with product contact, can be provided with integrated heat exchangers.
  • the structural design of the heat exchanger can be modified and adapted to the special design of the components to be provided with it. Cooling and heating can be effected by separate units.
