Definitions
- the invention relates to a method according to the preamble of claim 1, to a filling system according to claim 4 and to a filling machine according to the preamble of claim 8.
- the gas column present in the return gas pipe also expands and thereby generates a violent gas shock or pressure pulse emerging at the opening of the return gas pipe, which flows directly onto the product.
- Mirror is directed in the container and, in particular in a foaming-prone filling, for example, in a product with a high CO2 content causes an undesirable violent foaming of the filling.
- the object of the invention is to provide a method which avoids the aforementioned disadvantages in a pressure filling with a fill-height controlling return gas tube.
- a method according to claim 1 is formed.
- a filling system and a filling machine for carrying out the method are the subject matter of patent claims 4 and 8, respectively.
- the gas shock or pressure pulse emerging from the return gas opening during unloading loses its energy as far as possible in the space above the filling material level and thus does not lead to undesirable foaming of the filling material.
- the generally designated 1 in Figure 1 filling system is part of a filling machine of rotating design and essentially consists of a plurality of filling elements 2, the rotor axis 3 circumferentially driven around the machine axis distributed on the circumference of a vertical machine axis MA driven are.
- the filling elements 2 form with their container carriers 4 filling positions 5, passed to the container or bottles to be filled 6 in the manner known to those skilled in a container inlet of the filling machine and from which the filled bottles 6 are removed at a container outlet of the filling machine.
- the filling of the container 6 takes place on the angular range of the rotational movement of the rotor 3 between the container inlet and the container outlet.
- the filling system 1 is designed for a filling height-controlled pressure filling of the container 6, in which (pressure filling) the container 6 at least during a bias phase in which the containers 6 are acted upon by the pressure of an inert gas, in a subsequent filling phase in which the filling height controlled Introducing the liquid product into the container 6 takes place, and arranged in a subsequent pressure relief phase with its container mouth region 6.1 in a sealing position on the respective filling element 2.
- each filling element 2 comprises a housing 7, in which in the manner known to those skilled in a liquid channel is formed, on the one hand via a line 8 with a liquid or Gregutraum 9.1 of a boiler 9 in conjunction and on the other hand on the underside of the respective filling element 2 forms a dispensing opening, via which the liquid filling material flows during filling to the respectively arranged in sealing position on the filling element 2 container 6.
- the ring bowl 9 is provided for all filling elements 2 of the filling machine together on the rotor 3.
- a gas space 9.2 is formed above the local liquid space 9.1 or the Medgutspiegels pressure-controlled with the pressurized inert gas, such as CO 2 gas is filled.
- the controlled delivery of the filling material in the respective container 6 takes place by opening and closing a liquid valve arranged in the liquid channel, which is opened at the beginning of the respective filling process and then closed when the level of the liquid contents in the respective container 6 a predetermined filling level has reached.
- controlled by control valves 10 gas channels are provided, for example, before the actual filling phase at least biasing the respective container 6 with the pressurized inert gas, for example with CO 2 gas from the gas space 9.2 the ring boiler 9 takes place and after completion the filling phase and after closing the liquid valve of the respective filling element 2, a relieving of the container 6 to ambient pressure takes place, for example in several steps.
- each filling element 2 has a coaxially arranged with the Greelementachse FA, open at both ends return gas pipe 10 which extends during filling with its lower length through the container mouth 6 in the interior of the container located at the filling position 5 6 and with its upper end is connected via a line 11 with a return gas valve to the gas chamber 9.2 of the annular boiler 9, so that during the filling phase, the inert gas displaced from the prestressed container 6 through the liquid filling material via the return gas pipe 10 and the line 11 into the gas space 9.2 of the annular boiler can, with open return gas valve 12.
- the inflow of the contents in the respective container 6 is automatically terminated when the mirror of the liquid contents in the container 6 has reached the lower, open end of the gas pipe 10 and this lower end in the Medgutapt is immersed.
- an actuator or actuator 13.1 is provided, which is part of an actuator 13 and with which the axially, ie displaceable in the direction of the Greelementachse FA return gas pipe 10 is raised after closing the liquid valve of the filling element 2 and before unloading, so that the Lower end of the gas pipe 10 is then located well above the level NF of Medgutspiegels within the respective container 6 and thus the exiting from the return gas tube 10 during relieving inert gas pulse not to an undesirable Foaming of the contents can lead.
- This relief stroke generated by the actuating element 13.1 is indicated in FIG. 1 by H1.
- the actuating element 13.1 is, for example, a pneumatically controllable actuating element, e.g. a pneumatically controllable lifting cylinder with which the lifting or the axial displacement of the gas pipe 10 to the discharge stroke H1 is possible.
- FIG. 2 shows, in a representation similar to FIG. 1, a filling position 5 of a filling system 1 a of a peripheral type of filling machine, the filling position 5 in turn essentially consisting of the filling element 2 provided on the rotor 3 and the associated container carrier 4.
- Shown in FIG. 2 are the above-mentioned, formed in the housing 7 of the filling element 2a liquid channel 15, arranged in this liquid channel and the liquid valve forming valve body 16, various formed in the Greelementgetude 7 gas channels or gas paths 17, controlled by control valves 18, inter alia Ring channels 19 and 20 are connected, which are provided on the rotor for all filling elements 2a together.
- FIG. 1 shows, in a representation similar to FIG. 1, a filling position 5 of a filling system 1 a of a peripheral type of filling machine, the filling position 5 in turn essentially consisting of the filling element 2 provided on the rotor 3 and the associated container carrier 4.
- Shown in FIG. 2 are the above-mentioned,
- tion 15.1 extends into the container 6, through the container mouth 6.1, with which the container 6 via a seal against a centering tulip 21 bears against the filling element 2a.
- the upper end of the return gas pipe 10 is in turn connected via the return gas valve 12 and the line 11 to the pressurized gas chamber 9.2 of the annular boiler 9.
- Actuator 22 having an actuator means, the return gas pipe 10 is axially displaceable by a relief stroke H1 from a lower home position during filling height controlled filling and an upper relief position during discharge of the filled container 6 after closing the liquid valve 16 and the return gas valve 12 the lifting of the return gas pipe 10 in the discharge position after completion of the actual filling phase and before relieving is again ensured that an emerging from the lower end of the gas pipe 10 inert gas stream or - pulse foaming of the liquid filling in the filled container. 6 not effected.
- By the actuator 22 at the same time an adjustment of the filling height is possible, i. an adjustment of at least the starting position of the return gas pipe 10th
- the actuator 22 is provided separately for each filling element 2a and, for example, in turn, a pneumatic actuator.
- Each actuator 22 has at least one actuating or lifting element, but preferably at least two actuation and lifting elements, of which then an actuating or lifting element causes the discharge stroke H1 and is individually controllable on each filling element 2a, while the other actuator for adjusting the filling height the Adjustment causes at least the starting position of the discharge stroke H1 and together with the corresponding actuating elements of the other filling elements 2a can be driven together.
