Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for treating containers.
  • the invention will be described with reference to a device for filling containers with liquid and in particular with beverages, but it is also pointed out that the invention can also be applied to other container treatment systems, such as blow molding machines, which convert plastic preforms into plastic containers.
  • Such filling machines are known from the prior art for a long time.
  • a rotary filler for filling bottles with liquid which has a rotor which is rotatable about a vertical axis and on which a plurality of filling valves are arranged.
  • This cleaning agent is usually supplied via the product supply line and thus cleans the individual filling elements and is then returned back using a so-called CIP cap or cover. Due to this procedure, it is therefore sometimes necessary for the cleaning agents to be recycled back through the system via relatively complicated paths.
  • the DE 195 42 432 describes a rotary device for the treatment of objects and in particular of containers.
  • a rotary joint for the fluid transport between a stator assembly and a rotor assembly is provided.

  • a device for filling containers with a liquid and especially with a beverage has a multiplicity of filling elements, which each have an outlet for filling the beverage into the containers, and a valve device for controlling the supply of the liquid into the containers , Furthermore, the device has a transport device, which transports the containers and preferably also the filling elements along a predetermined transport path at least temporarily during their filling with the liquid. Furthermore, a cleaning device is provided, which acts on at least one of the liquid to be filled areas of the device and in particular at least a portion of the filling elements with a cleaning medium.
  • At least one filling element is designed in such a way that the cleaning medium emerges freely from this filling element during the cleaning operation.
  • the cleaning medium is usually recycled, it is proposed in the context of the present invention to deliberately leave the cleaning medium from the filling element or its outlet.
  • the cleaning medium is not recycled in a channel, but exits freely.
  • the cleaning medium is at least partially out after the exit from the filling element in a channel, but preferably falls freely down, d. H. preferably exits to an area which is below the filling element, i. H. closer to the center of the earth than the filling element is arranged.

  • the Applicant has recognized that, in contrast to the devices known in the prior art, it is also possible to allow the cleaning medium to emerge freely.
  • the device has a collecting device in order to be able to collect the cleaning medium emerging from the filling element.
  • the device is a rotary filling machine, which particularly preferably has a central warehouse.
  • SIP sterilization in place
  • CIP cleaning in place
  • the device has a clean room and the at least one filling element is designed such that the cleaning medium emerges into the clean room during the cleaning operation.
  • the invention is particularly suitable because contamination by splashes are avoided in this way, since the cleaning medium first enters the clean room.
  • the clean room, apart from supply and discharge facilities for the containers is substantially complete.
  • the clean room has a drain for discharging the cleaning medium.
  • This outflow serves at the same time as a collection device to collect the cleaning medium, and specifically remove it again.
  • the cleaning medium can be passed to a recycling or treatment device.
  • the device has a separating device for separating gaseous and liquid media emerging from the clean room.
  • gaseous media such as, for example, an admission gas for the containers, can also exit the said outflow.
  • a separation of these media is provided, as it can be carried out for example by the provision of a siphon or the like.
  • the device has a fluid guide device which can be moved relative to the outlet and which can be applied to an outlet in a cleaning mode.
  • the liquid guiding device specifically directs the liquids into specific areas, for example in the direction of the outlet, which is arranged in the sterile room.
  • the liquid-conducting device may be a plate which has, for example, a circular opening through which the cleaning medium passes.
  • the device has at least one feed device in order to supply the containers (in particular before or during the filling process) a gaseous medium.
  • the device is advantageously also designed such that this gaseous medium can be relieved in the clean room.
  • This embodiment is particularly suitable for filling machines which fill beverages with bound gases.
  • the containers are initially biased with a certain gas pressure. This gas is then discharged to the filling process again, it being proposed here that the gas is now discharged into the clean room.
  • the derivation of the biasing gases described here and in particular the derivation of the biasing gases into the sterile or clean room can also be used independently of the above-described discharge of the cleaning medium into the clean room.
  • the gaseous medium which serves to bias the containers, not discharged directly from the containers in the clean room, but via an outlet, which opens particularly preferably in the clean room.
  • the device has a valve device for discharging the gaseous medium - in particular in the clean room - on.

  • a sterilization device could be used, for example, a device which has an evaporator for evaporating H 2 O 2 and which then the said mixture produces and charged to the containers so.
  • other sterilization devices would be conceivable, such as devices which sterilize the containers by the use of electron or laser beams or by the use of UV light. It would also be possible to combine a plurality of sterilization methods or even several sterilization devices to be arranged one behind the other in the transport direction of the containers.
  • the present invention is further directed to a method for operating a device for filling containers with liquids, wherein containers to be filled are transported along a predetermined transport path and at least temporarily filled during this transport by means of a plurality of filling elements with a liquid medium and wherein a cleaning mode is provided, are acted upon in the at least parts of the filling elements with a cleaning medium.
