Definitions
- the invention relates to a filling element according to the preamble of claim 1 and to a filling system according to the preamble of claim 17.
- both the contents, as well as the elements of a filling machine must be kept at the required target temperature, for example in the range between 90 and 95 ° C even during interruptions of a filling process, so that the filling after the termination of an interruption immediately with the can be recorded on desired temperature filling elements.
- filling systems or filling machines are already known in which the filling elements are included in a so-called hot circulation, i. a partial flow of the hot contents in an e.g. a closed circuit having a heating device is passed through the filling elements in order to heat them and / or to keep them at the respective desired temperature.
- hot circulation i. a partial flow of the hot contents in an e.g. a closed circuit having a heating device is passed through the filling elements in order to heat them and / or to keep them at the respective desired temperature.
- filling systems or filling machines of this type are, inter alia, that for controlling the functions filling and hot circulation extremely complex, prone and expensive
- the object of the invention is to show a filling element which is heated in a simplified design in the hot circulation.
- a filling element according to the patent claim 1 is formed.
- a filling system is the subject of claim 17.
- the particular advantage of the invention is that the liquid valve of the respective filling element and also formed in the respective filling element flow channel for the hot circulation are controlled solely by the movement of each container to be filled, i. opened the liquid valve by applying and / or pressing the container to the filling element and the flow path for the hot circulation here closed or throttled and vice versa when removing the filled container from the filling element whose liquid valve closed again and the flow path for the hot circulation are fully opened.
- FIG. 1 shows a simplified representation of a filling element having a filling position of a filling machine of rotating design, with closed filling element, together with a relative to the filling element lowered container in the form of a bottle;
- FIG. 2 shows the filling position of FIG. 1, together with the bottle raised against the filling element;
- Fig. 3 and 4 respectively in an enlarged detail representation of the filling element with the liquid valve closed and open;
- 5 shows a section through the housing parts of the two-part Greelementgephinuses according to the line I - I of Figure 1.
- 1 is one of the filling elements of a filling machine of rotating design for pressureless filling of containers in the form of bottles 2 with a hot liquid filling material, for example with a filling material, which for a hot filling (eg hot sterile filling) a temperature in the range between about 90 and 95 0 C has.
- the filling element 1 is provided with a plurality of similar filling elements 1 on the circumference of a rotatable about a vertical axis of the machine rotor 3.
- a common for all filling elements 1 boiler 4 for example ring bowl, which is partially filled, ie level controlled to the level N with the hot liquid product during filling operation, so that in the interior of the boiler 4, a lower, of the hot liquid Contents occupied liquid space 4.1 and lying over a filled example, with an inert gas chamber 4.2 are formed.
- the filling elements 1 are each fastened with their Greelementgephinuse 5 on the underside of the boiler 4.
- Each RailelementgePFuse 5 is formed in two parts, consisting of a fixed to the rotor 3 and at the bottom of the boiler 4 housing part 5.1 and a movable housing part 5.2, which is movable relative to the housing part in the direction of a vertical Sportselementachse FA, between a lower stroke position shown in the figure 1 and 3 and an upper stroke position shown in Figures 2 and 4, respectively.
- spring means which are formed in the illustrated embodiment of a provided on the outside of the housing, the axis FA concentrically enclosing compression spring 6, that is
- Housing part 5.2 biased in the lower stroke position.
- the housing part 5.2 consists essentially of a valve plate 7, which is oriented with their surface sides perpendicular to the axis FA and against the top also the compression spring 6 is supported, and from a double-ended open filling pipe or filling tube 8, which penetrates the valve plate 7 sealed and extends with its upper Rudrohrabêt 8.1 in the housing part 5.1.
- the filling tube 8 projects beyond the underside of the valve plate 7 and forms at its lower end a discharge opening with a liquid valve 9 for controlled filling of the bottles 2 with the liquid product, as will be described in more detail below.
- the liquid valve 9 is executed in the illustrated embodiment as a foot valve and consists essentially of a valve body 10 which is provided at the bottom, from the Golfrohrabonce 8.1 protruding end of a coaxially arranged with the axis FA return gas pipe 11 and with a valve body surface formed by a seal 12 cooperates with a valve surface formed by the lower opening edge of the Artrohrabiteses 8.2.
- annular channel 14 is formed between the inner surface of this filling tube and the outer surface of the return gas tube 11, which opens at the upper end of the filling tube 8 in a trained in the housing part 5.1 channel 15, which via an opening 15.1 with the liquid space 4.1 of the boiler. 4 in the area of the boiler floor.
- the channel 15 is also continued in an axis FA FA concentrically enclosing annular channel portion 16 which between the outer surface of the Golfrohrabêtes 8.1 and the inner surface of the housing part 5.1 and in particular the inner surface of the Artrohrabrough 8.1 by far enclosing tubular housing portion 5.1.1 of the housing part 5.1 is formed.
- the channel section 16 via an axis enclosing the FA FA ring opening 17, which between this Opening edge and the top of the valve plate 7 is formed, with the housing portion 5.1.1 annularly surrounding annular channel 18 in connection, the outside sealed sealed to the environment by a wall which allows the relative movement of the housing part 5.2 to the housing part 5.1, ie in the direction the axis FA can be shortened and extended axially and which is formed in the illustrated embodiment of a bellows 19.
- an annular channel 20 which is provided in or on the rotor 3 for all filling elements 1 of the filling machine or for each of a group of such filling elements 1 together.
- Each filling element 1 of the filling machine is associated with a container carrier 23, which is formed in the illustrated embodiment for a suspended attachment of the bottles 2 at its provided below the bottle mouth 2.1 muzzle bead 2.2.
- the container carrier 23 is guided by means of a guide rod 24 on the rotor 3 in the axis FA between a lowered stroke position ( Figure 1) and a raised stroke position ( Figure 2) movable, namely controlled by a cam roller 25, with one with the rotor non-circumferential cam 26 cooperates.
- the containers or bottles 2 are fed to the individual filling positions 27 when the container carrier 23 is lowered, so that the bottle mouth
- the container carrier 23 is then with the bottle. 2 raised so that it comes with their bottle mouth 2.1 against the seal 21 to the plant and the housing part is moved 5.2 via the bottle 2 and against the action of the spring means 6 upwards in the upper stroke position.
- the liquid valve 9 opens so that the liquid product can flow from the boiler 4 via the liquid channel formed by the channel 15 and the annular channel 14 and the opened liquid valve 9 in the bottle 2, wherein the displaced from the bottle 2 of the liquid product Air is discharged via the return gas channel 13.
- the filling process is then automatically terminated as soon as the level of contents rising in the bottle 2 has reached the lower end of the return gas tube 11 introduced into the bottle 2 or this end is slightly immersed in the level of contents and the return gas channel 13 is closed.
- the filling level in each filled bottle 2 is determined by the Grezierteilin 8.2.1 and can be adjusted by using spacers 22 with different axial dimensions.
- the liquid valve 9 is closed again by the lowering movement of the housing part 5.2, as is known to those skilled in the art.
- the lower stroke position of the housing part 5.2 is defined by the fact that the Gearrohrabrough 8.2 rests with its lower edge against the valve body 10 and its seal 12.
- the upper stroke position of the housing part 5.2 is defined by the fact that the valve plate 7 rests against the lower edge of the housing section 5.1.1.
- a special feature of the filling element 1 is that for heating the filling elements 1, a hot circulation of liquid filling material from the liquid space 4.2 through the channel 15, the channel portion 16 and the annular channel 18 of each filling element 1 in the annular channel 20 and from this via a product pump 28 and a heater 29 back into the liquid space 4.1 of the boiler 4 is possible.
- This hot circulation effective heating of the filling elements 1 is achieved so that they before the start of a filling process on the required, increased product temperature preheated and can be maintained at an interruption of the filling process to the required target temperature, ie at the beginning of each filling process, as well as a resumption of the filling after a break cooling of the hot filling material within the filling 1 is effectively avoided ,
- Another special feature is that only by the raising and lowering of the respective bottle 2 not only the opening and closing of the liquid valve 9 is controlled in the manner described above, but also the hot circulation through the filling element. Namely, as a comparison in particular of Figures 3 and 4 shows, is located in the lower stroke position housing part 5.2 and closed liquid valve 9, the ring opening 17 for the hot circulation or for the passage of the channel section 16 and the annular channel 18 with the hot contents completely open , With the lifting of the housing part 5.2 and the opening of the liquid valve 9, the annular opening 17 is increasingly reduced, i.
- the filling element has a simplified construction.
- the heating of the filling element 1 by the conveyed in hot circulation product is particularly effective also in that this in the flow through the filling element 1 conveyed product in the channel section 16 initially relative to the axis FA axially towards Greelementunterseite and then subsequently after flowing through the annular opening 17 axially flows in the direction of Greelementoberseite, so in a compact and especially in the direction of the axis FA short construction of the filling element 1, a relatively long flow path for the filling element 1 heated filling in the housing 5 results.
- the filling height of the filling material in the respective bottle 2 is thus determined by the length, with the Golfrohrabites 8.1 protrudes beyond the bottom of the seal 21 and thus extends into the interior of the bottle 2 when filling through the bottle mouth 2.1.
