Definitions

  • the invention relates to a container treatment machine according to the preamble of claim 1
  • Container treatment machines especially those circulating design, each having treatment positions on a rotatably driven about a vertical axis of the machine rotor are known in various designs.
  • container treatment machines i.e. container treatment machines
  • Filling machines or capping machines of peripheral design in which the treatment positions are provided in an annular housing enclosing the machine axis concentrically or in a sterile or clean room formed in the housing.
  • the sterile or clean room is traversed by a sterile gas and / or vapor medium, for example sterile air, during operation of the container treatment machine.
  • the design is such that the respective container accommodated at a treatment position and held on the container carrier there is arranged at least with its container opening having the container area in the sterile or clean room, so that the sterile treatment of the container, i. a sterile filling or closing of the container is possible.
  • the housing of the enclosure is in each case part of wall sections which rotate with the rotor, and partly also formed by the rotor non-rotating wall sections, so necessarily between the peripheral and non-rotating wall sections gap-shaped transitions consist.
  • These transitions directly adjacent to the enclosure or directly to the sterile room have considerable disadvantages.
  • complex seals are required directly to the sterile room or in the absence of seals arise through the emerging from the transitions sterile gas and / or vapor medium not only undesirable losses of this medium, but in the interior of the enclosure also undesirable turbulence and / or currents that interfere with the germ-free or sterile treatment of the containers.
  • the object of the invention is to show a container treatment machine which avoids these disadvantages.
  • a container treatment machine according to the patent claim 1 is formed.
  • a special feature of the container treatment machine according to the invention is that the entire housing, i. All wall sections of the housing of the enclosure, which forms the sterile or clean room, are provided exclusively on the rotor, so there are no transitions between circulating and non-rotating wall sections in the region of the sterile or clean room.

  • the filling machine inter alia, consists of a lower machine frame 3 and a rotor 4, which at the top of the machine frame 3 rotatably supported about a vertical machine axis MA with the aid of a bearing 5 formed by a ball slewing connection and can be driven in rotation around the machine axis MA by means of a drive, not shown.
  • each u.a. consist of a filling element 7 with a flow meter 8 for volume or Brownmen- genrawe delivery of the contents in the bottles 2 and from a bottle or container carrier 7, on which each held to be filled bottle 2 hanging on a trained in the bottle opening ring or mouth 2.1 is.
  • the filling machine 1 is for free-jet filling of the bottles 2 with the liquid product, i. each held on the container carrier 9 bottle 2 is spaced with its bottle mouth of the lower end of the filling element 7 and from the local discharge opening for the liquid product ( Figure 2).
  • the filling element 7 and the associated container carriers 9 are provided on a radially outer annular section concentric with the machine axis MA and projecting beyond the remaining outer contour of the rotor 4, section 4.1 of the rotor 4, namely the filling elements 7 and the flow meters 8 substantially above the section 4.1 and the container carrier 7 below this section.
  • the filling elements 7 are each connected via a product line 10, in which the flow meter 8 is arranged with a mounted on the rotor boiler 11 for receiving the liquid filling material.
  • the liquid contents as well as other media required for the operation of the filling machine 1, for example CO2 gas or vacuum, are supplied to the boiler 11 or other functional elements provided on the rotor 4 via a multi-turn connection generally indicated at 12 in FIG.
  • annular housing 13 arranged coaxially with the machine axis is provided on the underside of the annular section 4.1, the interior 14 of which faces the surroundings through wall sections forming a housing or housing is limited and forms a sterile treatment room or sterile or clean room.
  • the housing 13 is also designed such that the bottles 2 held suspended on the container carriers 9 extend from below into the interior 14 with their mouth region having the bottle mouth and also the respective mouth flange 2.1 or with this mouth region in the housing 13 are included.
  • the interior 14 of the housing 13 is traversed by a sterile gas and / or vapor medium, for example sterile air, so that the bottles 2 for the sterile filling are provided with their mouth area in that of the Inner space 14 formed clean or sterile space are taken from which they protrude with the remaining part of her bottle body down.
  • a sterile gas and / or vapor medium for example sterile air
  • the machine axis MA On its underside, the machine axis MA also concentrically enclosing annular extension 15 is sealed via a ring transformer 17 to the environment with at least one non-rotating with the rotor 4 line 18, fed via which the sterile vapor and / or gaseous medium becomes (arrow A).
  • the housing 13 is formed, inter alia, with openings for the targeted exit of the sterile gaseous and / or vaporous medium, for example with at least one opening on the housing base in the area of the container carrier 9, so that there the sterile gas and / or vapor Medium for the formation of the necessary flow within the housing 13 according to the arrow B can escape into the environment.
  • the ring transformer 17 is arranged in this embodiment immediately below the extension 15 and thus directly under the ring-like section 4.1 of the rotor and consists, as the figure 2 and 3 show, essentially from an annular groove-like ring transformer element 19 with a U shaped annular cross-section, which is formed by two legs 20 and a wall portion 21 connecting these legs.
  • the ring transfer element 19 is mounted on the underside of the extension 15 or on a wall portion 19.1 of the housing of the extension forming the underside such that the two circular legs 20 with their surface sides parallel to the vertical machine axis MA concentrically surround this machine axis and the yoke section 21 lies with its surface sides in a plane perpendicular to the machine axis MA. Furthermore, the ring transfer element 19 is mounted so that it faces downwards with the open side of its U-shaped ring profile. Through a plurality of openings 22 formed between the legs 20 of the interior of the ring transfer element 19 is sealed to the outside sealed to the interior 16 of the extension 15 in conjunction.
  • the ring transmitter 17 furthermore consists of an annular ring gearing element 23, which likewise has a substantially U-shaped ring cross section, namely consisting of the two leg sections 24 and the yoke section 25 connecting them.
  • the two leg portions 24 are each formed double-walled, and each consisting of two concentric with each other and spaced apart annular wall sections 24.1, which each form a one-sided closed by the yoke portion 25 annular channel 26 between them.
  • the Ringüber experiencelement 23 is not circumferentially fixed to the rotor frame 4 on the machine frame 3, in such a way that the open side of its U-Prof ⁇ ls facing up and each one leg 20 of the ring transmission element 19 extends into an annular channel 26 of the ring transmission element 23, so that the formed between the double-walled leg portions 24 annular interior of the ring transfer element 23, in which the at least one line 18 opens, with the interior formed between the legs 20 of the ring transfer element 19 and thus also with the interior 16 is in communication.
  • the two Ringschreib presentedlemente 19 and 23 thus form a labyrinth seal with low loss of the transmitted via the ring transformer 17 sterile gas and / or vaporous medium in the area of this seal.
  • the annular spaces are preferred
  • the ring transformer 17 is disposed outside of the rotor housing 27 enclosed by a rotor housing, which is occupied not only by the multiple rotary joint 12 and leading to this rotary joint lines, but also of other functional elements of the filling machine 1 and the rotating rotor 4.
  • FIG. 4 shows a filling machine 1a, which differs from the filling machine 1 only in that the local ring transmitter 17a corresponding to the ring transmitter 17 does not lie directly on the underside of the annular rotor section 4.1, but deeper in the region of the transition between the ring Machine frame 3 and the rotor 4, ie is provided in the region of the bearing 5 concentrically enclosing this.
  • the ring transformer 17a which in turn is arranged outside of the rotor inner region enclosed by a rotor housing 27, or its ring transmission element 19 are then on the rotor side by a plurality of channels 28 located on the outside relative to the conical rotor housing 27 and closed to the environment, or via a closed to the environment, connected between a wall element of the rotor housing 27 and another outer wall element formed annular channel 28 with the interior 16 of the extension 15.
  • FIG. 5 shows a further embodiment of a filling machine 1b, which differs from the filling machine 1 only in that the ring transmission 17 corresponding ring transformer 17b is disposed below the rotary joint 12 and the ring transformer 17b with the interior 16 of the extension 15 connecting lines 29 within of the rotor housing
  • Housing 13 is that all wall elements of the housing of Housing 13 as well as the extension 15 are provided exclusively on the rotor 4, so there is neither in the area of the housing 13 in the region of the extension 15, a transition between rotating with the rotor 4 and not rotating with the rotor wall sections or elements. This results in a simple housing construction for the housing 13 and the extension 15. Seals in the area of the interiors 14 and 16 are not required.
  • the housing of the housing 13 and the extension 15, the ring transmitter 17, 17a and 17b and the associated compounds can be designed so that penetration of germs into the interiors 14 and 16 is practically excluded, the enclosure 13 so an FDA-suitable Sterile barrier forms.
  • losses of the sterile gaseous and / or vaporous medium are at transitions between circumferential and non-rotating wall sections and consequent, affecting the sterile filling turbulences and / or cross flows in the interior 14, i. avoided in sterile or clean room.
  • the Ringübertragers 17, 17a and 17b are each designed with a large diameter. This design has the advantage that a transfer of the sterile gas and / or vapor medium to a large flow cross-section of the extension 15 is possible.
  • the ring transformer 17, 17a and 17b can be realized in a relatively simple, yet extremely reliable construction.
  • Ringübertragers 17 and 17a Due to the external arrangement of the Ringübertragers 17 and 17a not only this, but also all the elements connected to it are easily accessible, namely u.a. for repair and maintenance purposes, but especially for cleaning and sterilization. Due to the external arrangement of the ring transmitter 17 or 17 a and the lines connected to it, it is also possible to provide sterile air filters easily accessible on the filling machine 1.
  • the described design of Füiimaschi ⁇ e 1, 1a and I b also has the advantage that on the extension 15 and the local distributor or interior 16 a particularly uniform distribution of the supplied sterile gas and / or vaporous medium and in particular a uniform flow of this medium without turbulence, etc., within the Housing 13 is achieved. This is also due to the fact that the flow of sterile gas and / or vapor medium after entering the interior 16 undergoes a deflection by about 90 ° and is then directed radially outward with respect to the machine axis MA, and indeed magnifying Effective flow cross-section of the interior 16.
  • the operation of the filling machines 1, 1a, 1b corresponds to the procedure known to those skilled in the art, i. the bottles 2 to be filled are fed to the filling positions 6 on the rotor 4 at a container inlet. The filled bottles 2 are removed from the filling positions 6 at a container outlet.
