Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device according to the preamble of claim 1 for forming plastic preforms into plastic containers and for treating plastic containers, and to a corresponding method for forming plastic preforms into plastic containers and for treating plastic containers.
  • various methods for labeling containers are known. It is known to first produce plastic containers from plastic preforms, then label them and fill them in the already labeled state and then close them. This approach has the disadvantage that the containers are often difficult to label, especially if the plastic is very thin-walled, because they can give in under the pressure of the labeling devices.
  • a device according to the preamble of claim 1 is from the DE 10 2008 008 528 A1 known.
  • a device for drying containers before labeling them is from the DE 1 025 791 known.
  • the present invention is based on the object of preventing restrictions caused by condensation, particularly on the outer wall of the container, in devices and methods which label containers that have already been filled.
  • the device according to claim 1 for treating containers has, among other things, a filling device which fills the containers with a flowable medium and a labeling device arranged downstream of a transport direction of the containers with respect to this filling device, which provides an outer wall of the containers with labels. Furthermore, a transport device is provided between the filling device and the labeling device, which transports the containers from the filling device to the labeling device.
  • a drying device is arranged along the transport path of the containers between the filling device and the labeling device, which dries the containers and in particular an outer wall of the containers and in particular applies a gaseous medium.
  • This drying device is intended to dry an outer wall of the containers again.
  • the flowable medium is in particular food and in particular beverages.
  • viscous media could also be used.
  • the transport device is designed in such a way that it transports the containers individually.
  • conveyor belts and the like are arranged between the filling device and the labeling device, which convey the containers in a continuous stream and which can in this way also compensate for short-term failures of the filling device or the labeling device, in particular by the distances between the containers change.
  • the gaseous medium preferably avoids condensation on the bottle wall.
  • the labeling device and the filling device are arranged in a block and are, in particular, permanently synchronized with one another. Furthermore, there are preferably no buffering devices or the like arranged between the filling device and the labeling device.
  • the drying of the individual containers is simplified because they can be dried more easily from all sides.
  • the containers are preferably conveyed in such a way that there are certain distances between them, so that the drying device can also easily get between the individual containers and carry out the drying there.
  • the drying device is arranged along the transport path of the containers directly in front of the labeling device.
  • no further transport devices are arranged in the transport direction of the containers between the drying device and the labeling device.
  • the drying device could thus be provided in an end region of a transport device which conveys the containers from the filling device to the labeling device. In this way, recondensation of the containers is avoided.
  • the device further has a forming device which transforms plastic preforms into plastic containers and this forming device is arranged upstream of the filling device in the transport direction of the containers.
  • the present invention therefore applies to devices for treating plastic containers.
  • the particular suitability for plastic containers results from the fact that post-labeling is particularly recommended here.
  • Filling block with re-labeling i.e. an arrangement of blowing machine, filler and labeling machine, prevents condensation before labeling by blowing dried air into the block in front of the labeling device.
  • the device has a feed device which feeds a gaseous medium produced in the forming device to the drying device. It is therefore proposed here to use the usually very dry exhaust air from the blow molding machine to dry the containers.
  • the forming device is therefore understood to mean, on the one hand, the blow molding machine itself, which forms the plastic preforms into plastic containers, but also other units attributable to this, such as a heating device or an oven, which heats the plastic preforms. This heating device also produces a significant amount of hot, dry exhaust air, which can be used to dry the plastic containers.
  • the supply device can be, for example, a line in which the gaseous medium can flow.
  • the device advantageously also has a fan in order to supply the exhaust air from the forming device to the containers.
  • This feed device can be arranged in such a way that it supplies the hot air to the containers from above, so that the drying process can be simplified in this way, since in this way the liquid can be blown away downwards.
  • the device also has a discharge device in order to quickly remove any liquid that may drip down.
  • the device has a closing device arranged between the filling device and the labeling device for closing the containers with closures and the drying device is arranged along the transport path for containers after this closing device. Here the already closed containers are dried by the said drying device.
  • the device has a temperature measuring unit to determine the temperature of the air used for drying. It would also be possible for heating devices to be provided which heat the air reaching the containers, just as conversely cooling devices (active or passive) could also be provided which cool the air reaching the containers.
  • a transport device for transporting the containers from the filling device to the labeling device is provided between the filling device and the labeling device, whereby, as mentioned above, this transport device carries the containers individually.
  • This transport device preferably conveys the containers in a straight line.
  • transport stars in this area, which guide the containers along a circular segment-shaped path.
  • the drying device is preferably arranged in the area of this transport device.
  • the isolated guidance allows the blocking between the units to be maintained so that the containers always have a predetermined division, although the extent of this division can be consciously changed by certain types of transport devices.
  • the transport device is advantageously a so-called screw conveyor.
  • the filling device is synchronized with the labeling device when the system is in operation. According to the invention, it is possible for this synchronization to be specifically canceled, particularly in the event of an error.
  • the filling device, the labeling device and the forming device are blocked with one another.
  • the device has a drying element which dries the containers through mechanical contact. This can be, for example, a sponge or the like.
  • This drying element can be provided instead of or in addition to air drying.
  • the present invention is further directed to a method for treating containers.
  • the containers are filled with a flowable medium using a filling device.
  • the containers are transported from the filling device to a labeling device, with the containers being transported individually.
  • labels are attached to the filled containers.
  • At least an area of the outer wall of the containers and in particular an area of the containers to be labeled is dried after filling by means of a drying device, the containers being exposed to a gaseous medium in particular.
  • the filled and, in particular, sealed containers be dried before labeling.
  • the containers in particular blown off, it would also be possible for them to be dried at least partially with mechanical drying agents such as sponges or the like.
  • the containers are formed from plastic preforms by a forming device.
  • the containers are dried using a gaseous medium used in the forming device.
  • this gaseous medium is hot air generated as part of the blowing process or a heating process for the plastic preforms (more precisely, air that is heated in the forming device or by the working operation of the forming device). In the prior art, this hot air is simply removed.
  • Figure 1 shows a schematic representation of a device 1 according to the invention.
  • the containers are conveyed along the arrow P1, that is, from right to left.
  • the reference number 2 denotes a forming device which forms plastic containers from plastic preforms.
  • the reference ratio 24 identifies a heating device which is used to heat the plastic preforms, this heating device also being a component of the forming device 2. From this heating device 24, the containers are transferred to the actual forming device 2 via a transport device 26.
  • This forming device 2 here has a carrier 22 on which a large number of receiving elements or blow molds for the containers are arranged.
  • the individual blowing stations preferably also have stretch rods, i.e. H.
  • the forming device is a stretch blow molding machine.
  • the containers 10 produced in this way (only shown in isolated cases) are transferred to a filling device 4 and filled there with a flowable medium and in particular a liquid such as a drink.
  • This filling device 4 also has a carrier 42 on which a large number of filling stations are arranged.
  • sterilization units can be provided, which sterilize the containers and in particular sterilize an inner wall of the containers.
  • Different sterilization processes can be used, such as sterilization processes using UV light, sterilization processes using hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) and the like.
  • the filling device 4 is followed in the transport direction P1 by a closing device 9, with the help of which the containers are closed with closures. Sterilization of the containers and the closures can also take place in this area.
  • the closing device 9 is again followed by a transport device 12, which transfers the now more filled and closed containers to a labeling device 6.
  • This transport device 12 can be designed, for example, as a screw conveyor, but it would also be possible for rotating stars or the like to be used at this point. In particular, however, this transport device 12 conveys the containers individually and particularly preferably at a certain distance from one another.
  • the reference number 8 denotes a drying device (shown only schematically) which dries the containers or the outer wall of the containers.
  • This drying device 8 can be connected to the forming device 2 or also the heating device 24 by means of a connecting line 16, so that the dry, warm air generated in the latter systems mentioned can be used to dry the containers 10.
  • a fan 18 can also be provided in an area of the line, as mentioned above.
  • the containers are transferred to the labeling device 6 and labeled there.
  • FIG. 2 shows an example of a transport device 12.
  • This transport device 12 is designed here as a screw conveyor, which has 2 opposite checks 52a and 52b, between which the containers 10 (here only their closures 10a) are clearly conveyed.
  • This screw conveyor also serves to increase the pitch T between the individual containers.
  • the drying device 8 can be arranged here in an end region of the screw conveyor, which dries the containers or their abdominal wall, if necessary also the bottom region.
  • the reference numbers 54a and 54b indicate Drive devices, which are advantageously synchronized with one another and drive the two screws 52a and 52b.
