Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cleaning system for containers, in particular for bottles, and a method for their operation.
  • One from the DE-A-38 15 441 known cleaning system includes a closed housing through which the containers to be cleaned by means of a continuous conveyor are passed.
  • the known cleaning system is designed as a single-end system, ie the containers are on one and the same side in the housing and out of the housing.
  • the interior of the housing is divided into a variety of cleaning stations, the containers are dipped before their actual cleaning treatment in the main lye (Hauptlaugebad) in a Vorlaugebad to first remove the coarsest dirt.
  • the container with lye and water with falling temperature eg 60 ° C, 50 ° C, 35 ° C
  • the DE 31 18 647 shows a Recuperationsstrom for cleaning bottles.
  • the plant shows various cleaning stations that work with immersion baths of different temperatures and under which an exchange of cleaning liquid of different temperatures for preheating or cooling takes place.
  • the pre-leaching station and the leaching station are not each equipped with at least two treatment stages.
  • the DE 42 12 433 shows a bottle washing machine with multiple treatment stations, in which a possibility is provided to provide a sterile zone in which plastic containers can be kept sterile, without having to be heated above the critical temperature for plastic.
  • the idea of this sterile zone is not to sterilize the containers but the liquor used to treat the containers, at least in a treatment zone, by heating and then to cool them back below the critical temperature for treating the containers.
  • the sterilization of the liquor takes place in that it is withdrawn from the corresponding container and passed through a heating device. After sufficient sterilization of this liquor, it is re-cooled by means of heat exchangers through the lye of the Laugebädern preceded by the sterilization bath, wherein they heat up.
  • the DE 203 21 071 shows a container cleaning system with an improved heating device, which is designed so that only one of the treatment stages is heated by a structurally complex, steam-heated primary heat exchanger, while the other treatment stages is heated by the liquid from the first treatment stage. Again, the subdivision of the stations in different stages is not addressed.
  • the invention has for its object to form a cleaning system energy and water saving.
  • the object is achieved in a cleaning system by the features of claim 1 and in a method by the features of claim 5.
  • the invention is based on the recognition that energy losses occur through heat carryover, ie the containers and the conveying means are introduced in the heated state into treatment stages in which the heat is not required. This leads, for example, to increased Sewage temperatures, which are often a problem. Furthermore, a water saving is possible if the treatment is treated in several stages, each with a fraction of the otherwise required water. It has been found that it is possible to clean containers biologically flawlessly with a water consumption of less than 0.1 l per container. The multistage treatment of the container with pre-caustic still serves to optimally preheat the container, so that the large amount of liquid in the main lye bath does not have to be kept constantly at high energy consumption at the required temperature.
  • Vorlauge- and Nachlaugestationen Due to the multi-stage design of Vorlauge- and Nachlaugestationen is graded in the tailed sewage wastewater available, which can be used for gradual heating of the container by heat transfer to the precursor. In this way energy is saved.
  • Vorlauge- and Nachlauge treatment stages are coupled in pairs heat transfer.
  • a sprinkling device in particular in the pre-treatment stage, has a thermal energy-saving effect, by means of which only the containers and the conveyor are heated. Elaborate immersion baths, where the containers must be emptied after each treatment, eliminated.
  • water can be saved by the rinsing station is also configured with a variety of treatment levels, each individually with a lower water content.
  • a cleaning system 1 for cleaning containers 2 ( Fig. 3 ), eg bottles made of glass or plastic, in particular PET, can be seen.
  • the cleaning system 1 contains a housing 3 and is designed in the illustrated embodiment as Einend Printer, ie container inlet 4 and container outlet 5 are located on the same side of the housing 3.
  • an endless conveyor 6 is arranged, which leads the container 2 through a variety of cleaning stations.
  • the conveyor 6 runs from the container inlet 4 first through a Vorweichstation VW and from there into and through a Vorlaugestation VL, then into a Scholaugestation HL and from this by a Nachlaugestation NL in a rinsing station S before the container 2, the housing 3 on Leave container outlet 5.
  • the system 1 according to the invention does not differ from the prior art.
  • the cleaning system 1 according to the invention differs from the prior art by an energy- and water-saving design, wherein water-saving treatment methods and heat recovery are used.
  • the pre-softening station is divided into two pre-softening zones VWI and VWII. Both stations can work with different temperatures and / or different liquids.
  • the Vorlaugestation VL has in the illustrated embodiment, three Vorlaugezonen preferably formed as separate units VLI, VLII and VLIII, which are arranged in the conveying direction of the conveyor 6 one behind the other and between the Vorweichstation VW and the Scholaugestation HL.
  • the main purpose of the Vorlaugestation is the preheating of the container 2 and the conveyor as close to the temperature of the Hauptlaugestation (usually 80 ° C).
  • Each of the individual Vorlaugezonen VLI to VLIII is formed as a separate unit and has its own Laugenzuschreib 7I, 7II and 7III, and provided with a respective pump P Laugeabtechnisch 81, 8II and 8III, wherein the Laugeableitonne 8 open into a common disposal line 9.
  • All three pre-leach stages VLI, VLII, VLIII are supplied by a common filter device 10, which filters all three zones simultaneously. However, it is also possible to assign each zone its own filter device. Each pre-leach stage is assigned a label discharge station with a circulation pump.
  • Fig. 3 shows such a Vorlaugezone in a detailed view, from which it can be seen that the containers 2 are passed through the conveyor 6 on individual guides 11 under a sprinkler 12 (overflow), which is supplied via line 7 with precoat. For this purpose, the container 2 are also filled to a certain extent (pre-softening effect).
  • the Vorlauge runs from the containers 2 and is collected by a baffle 13, which catches the rinsed dirt and leads to a Schmutzaustrageband 14, which takes him out of the Housing 3 dissipates.
  • the liquid collects in the lower region and is discharged via the line 8 by means of the pump P in the manner to be described below.
  • This construction is essentially the same for all Vorlaugenzonen VLI to VLIII.
  • the containers then pass into the main leaching station HL, which is designed as Laugebad in the illustrated embodiment. It should be striven that the temperatures of the conveyor and the container when immersing in the Feldlaugebad as close as possible to its temperature range.
  • the Nachlaugestation NL is divided into different zones NLI, NLII, NLIII, each of which is formed as a closed unit with a drain line 151, 1511 and 15111, each provided with a pump, and its own supply line 161, 1611 and 16111 is.
  • the treatment of the containers is done by spraying (inside and outside).
  • the heat originating from the main leaching station HL and entrained into the leaching station NL is removed from the containers and conveyors (including holders, such as bottle baskets) by the after-caustic, so that the containers and conveyors cool gradually, even if less water is used for cooling.
  • the recovered heat passes with the lye on the respective discharge lines 15 in a heat exchanger 17.
  • the heat exchanger 17 is connected to one or preferably several Nachlaugezonen NL. It can be provided for each Nachlaugezone a separate heat exchanger 17, but preferably a multi-stage heat exchanger, which is connected to all three Nachlaugezonen I to III.
  • Vorlaugezonen and Nachlaugezonen are provided, which are pairwise coupled via the heat exchanger.
  • zones can vary between two and five.
  • the invention also works, for example, if there are more pre-lye zones or more leachates than pre-lye zones, for example one lye zone serving two pre-lye zones or one pre-lye zone being cold-driven.
  • the number of exchange zones and the heat exchanger size of a plant is determined for each application and depends on the customer requirements, the size of the plant and the energy and water costs (profitability calculation). It can basically be stated that 30% to 50% of energy and water can be saved compared to a modern one-stage heat recovery plant by this method.
  • the pre-lye temperatures should be between 40 ° C and 70 ° C, the lye between 45 ° C and 75 ° C.
  • the leaching station NL is followed by a rinsing station S, which is likewise subdivided into individual zones.
  • a rinsing station S which is likewise subdivided into individual zones.
  • two hot water zones WWI and MBA and a cold water zone KW are provided. It may be followed by a recycling water zone RW and finally a fresh water (cold water) zone FW, in which the containers 2 are rinsed with drinking water quality tap water.
  • the invention is also in differently designed cleaning systems, for example, in two-end cleaning systems, in which the container inlet and the container outlet are located on opposite sides of the housing can be used.
  • the number of zones within the stations can be varied depending on the particular design of the cleaning process or the special design of the cleaning system; such as e.g. the pre-softening station also contain only one zone.
  • not all zones shown are necessary in the rinsing station.
  • the requirements at the place of use such as a shortage supply of fresh water, high energy costs and cost-effectiveness are decisive.
  • a two- to five-stage heat exchange can also be used. Both the Vorlauge- and the leaching station, for example, can be combined with an internal cleaning.
