Definitions

  • the invention relates to a filling system according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Filling systems of this type are known in particular as Gleichtik Stahle or pressureless filling systems, in which the filling speed of the respective filling element (filling) from the static height difference between the product outlet on the filling element, i. the local discharge opening, and the Gregutieri in the boiler (reservoir) results, and reduced by pressure losses that result in the liquid product as it flows through the communication channels boiler and filler.
  • Level fluctuations of the mirror of the liquid contents in the boiler and in particular also pressure fluctuations in the gas space of the boiler lead to significant changes in the filling speed of the respective filling element.
  • the consequences of this are u.a. an increased and undesirable foaming by too high a filling speed, negative effects on the accuracy of the measurement of the filling level and / or the filling volume, etc.
  • the gas space of the boiler To exclude the influence of pressure fluctuations on the filling speed, it is customary to connect the gas space of the boiler over as large a cross-section with the atmosphere, so that it does not cause sudden changes in level to a compression or expansion of the gas volume in the gas space above the liquid product and thus can not lead to changes and in particular not to sudden changes in the filling speed. It is of particular importance that the pressure of the gas volume in the gas space above the liquid product as possible corresponds to the pressure of the gas surrounding the discharge opening of the filling material, as by this approach further, negative factors influencing the filling speed can be avoided.
  • the above-described ventilation or connection of the gas space of the boiler with the atmosphere for pressure equalization is not possible in filling systems for aseptically filling a product because of the risk of penetration of germs or microorganisms from the atmosphere, so that has already been proposed for the pressure equalization in the gas space the boiler at this at least one ventilation or equalization opening with at least one, germs or microorganisms retaining filter, preferably provided with at least two in series successively arranged filters.
  • the invention has for its object to avoid this disadvantage.
  • a filling system according to claim 1 is formed, which makes it possible to produce a pressure equilibrium between the gas space in the boiler and the gas environment of the discharge opening of the contents under clean room conditions.
  • the invention opens the gas or vapor connection for pressure equalization or pressure equalization connection via at least one connecting piece in the boiler, but preferably in the insulator or sterile room in which the containers are arranged at least during filling at least with their mouth region.
  • the least one connecting piece forms an interior space with at least one pressure equalization opening, which can be closed by a closure and connected to a flushing line, so that the interior of the connecting piece as well as the pressure equalization connection in total during a cleaning and / or sterilization of a cleaning and / or sterilization medium can be flowed through.
  • a further pressure equalization connection is provided via a provided on the filling element in the region of the discharge opening of the filling element gas or pressure equalization opening in the sterile room empties.
  • These pressure equalization opening and the associated pressure equalization connection can be traversed by a cleaning and / or sterilization medium in a cleaning and / or sterilization, namely after positioning a closure or flushing element on the respective filling element such that this closure element is an outwardly formed closed, in which open both the at least one pressure equalization opening and the discharge opening of the filling element.
  • the at least one pressure equalization connection between the gas space of the boiler and the sterile room is open, so that there is a constant constant pressure between the boiler and the sterile room and thus the influence of pressure fluctuations in the gas space of the boiler to the filling speed is eliminated.
  • the junction of the at least one pressure equalization connection in the sterile space is closed, so that proper cleaning and / or sterilization in particular also the pressure GleichsIST is possible without the media used here come into the sterile room or come into contact with this.
  • FIG. 1, 1 is a filling element which, together with a plurality of similar filling elements, is provided on the circumference of a rotor of a filling machine revolving around a vertical machine axis for the aseptic filling of bottles 2 with a liquid filling material.
  • a rotor of a filling machine revolving around a vertical machine axis for the aseptic filling of bottles 2 with a liquid filling material.
  • This rotor element forms together with a provided on the machine frame and not rotating with the rotor, the wall sections 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 having shielding 4 a vertical machine axis concentrically enclosing annular insulator or a sterile room 5 outwardly final annular enclosure.
  • the bottles 2 are completely, or at least taken up with their mouth region in the sterile room 5. After filling, the bottles 2 continue to slide on a closing machine, wherein the bottles 2 remain at least until they are sealed in a sterile room.
  • Each filling element 1 is assigned a container carrier 6 in the sterile space 5, on which the respective bottle 2 is held on a mouth flange 2.1 with its bottle opening 2.2 below the filling element 1 or a dispensing opening 1.1 formed by it.
  • Each filling element 1 is connected via a product line 7 with a flow meter 8 to a boiler 9, which is arranged at a height level above the filling elements 1 and the discharge openings 1.1 respectively and partially during the filling operation, i. is filled to a predetermined level N with the liquid filling material, so that during the filling operation, the interior of the boiler 9 forms a de liquid content occupied product space 9.1 and lying above a gas space 9.2.
  • the liquid product is fed to the boiler 9 for compliance with the level N regulated.
  • As well as the product lines 7 also opens the product line 10 in the boiler 9 at the bottom of the vessel.
  • the gas chamber 9.2 is controlled via a line 12 with valve 13 controlled by a sterile gaseous or vaporous medium, for example, with sterile air, in such a way that in the gas space 9.2 a predetermined pressure, for example, an atmospheric pressure is maintained.
  • a predetermined pressure for example, an atmospheric pressure
  • the gas space 9.2 further opens a line 14 with valve 15, which in turn is connected to an exhaust duct 16, so that the gas space 9.2 during the filling operation of the supplied via line 12 and discharged via line 16 gas and / or vapor sterile Medium is flowed through and by appropriate control, for example, the valve 13, the pressure in the gas space 9.2 can be adjusted to a predetermined pressure value, for example, to atmospheric pressure.
  • the two lines 12 and 16 are also passed through the rotary joint 11.
  • the line 12 is also connected to the sterile room 5, i. the line 17 opens via at least one connecting piece 19 forming a pressure equalization opening 19.1 into the space 5, so that there is a pressure equalizing connection via the lines 12 and 17 which effects a pressure equalization between the gas space 9.2 and the interior 5.
  • the peculiarity of the connection piece 19 is that a closure 20, for example in the form of a closure flap, is provided on the latter, with which the (pressure) equalization opening 19 can be closed.
  • a line 21 is connected to valve 22, which is in the manner described in more detail below as a purge line part of a cleaning cycle.
  • each filling element 1 is connected via a line 23 to the line 16, in such a way that the interior 5 via a filling element at the first In the region of the discharge opening 1.1 formed opening 24, via the lines 23, 16 and 14 and via the open valve 15 for pressure equalization with the gas chamber 9.2 is in communication.
  • the opening 24 thus also serves as a pressure equalization opening, but may also have other functions.
  • the filling of the bottles 2 thus takes place in a constant pressure filling system in which the filling speed results from the static height difference between the discharge opening 1.1 of the respective filling element 1 and the level N of the liquid level of the filling material in the boiler 9, specifically reduced by pressure losses that occur when flowing through the product lines 7, the flow meter 8 and liquid channels within the filling elements 1 result.
  • About the pressure equalization compounds is a constant constant pressure between boiler 9 and room. 5
  • An essential feature of the filling system of FIG. 1 is that all the spaces and lines can be cleaned and / or sterilized in a simple manner by flowing through with a suitable cleaning and / or sterilization medium.
  • the closure flap 20 is closed, so that it tightly seals the pressure compensation opening 19.1, also with the help of a seal provided on the outer edge of the pressure compensation opening 19.1 or the closure 20, for example an annular lip seal.
  • the liquid cleaning and / or sterilizing agent is supplied via the line 12 and flows via the line 17 into the interior of the closed connection piece 19 and from there via the line 21 and the opened valve 22 discharged.
  • the cleaning and / or sterilization medium also flows through the line 12, the opened valves 13, the interior of the boiler 9 and is discharged from the boiler 9 via the product line 10.
  • the other lines and channels formed in the filling elements 1 are also passed through for cleaning and / or sterilization of the cleaning and / or sterilizing medium, for example after the application of appropriate cleaning or rinsing caps on the filling elements 1 in such a way in that the dispensing opening 1.1 and thus the liquid channel formed in the respective filling element 1 are connected to the annular pressure equalization opening 24 by the respective cap so that the cleaning or sterilizing medium is then opened with the filling element 1 open via the product line 7 via the liquid channel formed in each filling element , via the discharge opening 1.1, via the pressure equalization opening 24 and via line 23 into the conduit 16 can flow through which the cleaning and / or sterilization medium is discharged.
  • the cleaning and / or sterilization medium also flows through the line 14 when the valve 15 is open, namely from the interior of the boiler 9 into the line 16.
  • the cleaning and / or sterilization of the inner space 5 takes place by spraying a suitable cleaning and / or sterilization or disinfectant, namely with closed by the closure 20 connecting piece 19, so that even in this spray cleaning or disinfection no disinfectant in the pipe 17th can get.
