Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for filling food containers, which are sealed gas-tight as a result and have a lying above the ambient pressure inside pressure.
  • the invention relates to a method for filling thin-walled food containers, which require an internal pressure above ambient pressure for stabilizing the food container.
  • Such food containers are known for example as beverage cans.
  • the food container is subjected to a heat treatment after filling in order to pasteurize or sterilize the contents.
  • EP1911677A1 discloses a method for filling thin-walled food containers.
  • the aim of the invention is to reduce this effort as possible or to avoid. According to the invention this object is achieved in each case by a method for filling food containers according to one of claims 1 to 3 of the type mentioned.
  • the lid used to cover the filling opening is already that lid which is provided as a result for the permanent and gas-tight closure of the food container, this lid according to the invention already fixed in the filling station or immediately adjacent to this only and the food container is accordingly not permanently closed ,
  • the fixing of the lid to the food container takes place in such a way that gas can escape from the covered food container to the outside.
  • a CO 2 atmosphere can form above the liquid level in this way and any air present is displaced.
  • the fixing of the lid can be done by the lid slightly deformed during or after placement on the just-filled food container, but not yet firmly and tightly connected to the food container.
  • the lid is placed on the filled food container such that the lid is clampingly connected to the food container.
  • the food container is covered with a lid having an outer diameter in the region of its core slope, which is greater than an opening inside diameter - also referred to as internal flange diameter - the filled container.
  • the covered food container is transported after filling and covering of a respective filling station to a respective closing station, where it is then finally permanently closed and gas-tight. This is done in a manner known per se by folding or crimping.
  • the invention is based on the idea of reliably avoiding recontamination by the immediate covering of the food container after it has been filled, in that the penetration of germs into the container is avoided.
  • the covering has the consequence that less or no filling material can spill over, so that contamination of the corresponding system occurs, if at all, only to a considerably lesser extent.
  • simply fixing a lid to the food container is ideally much easier to accomplish than the final closure.
  • a respective lid is simply pressed only on a flange surrounding the filling opening of a respective food container.
  • a gas-tight closing of the food container should not be done expressly to allow first the escape of gas from the food container.
  • germs that are in the vicinity of the covered packaging do not get into the can interior. In this way the risk of recontamination is reduced.
  • oxygen can be displaced from the atmosphere above a liquid level in the filled food container and escape.
  • the lid has a slightly drawn inward edge with a marginal inner diameter, which is slightly smaller than a flange outer diameter of the respective filling opening enclosing the flange of a respective food container.
  • the lid is clamped onto the food container and fixed in this way.
  • the lid is preferably - for example by means of a punch - pressed onto the food container such that the edge of the lid is slightly deformed and pressed inwards, so that its Randweiteninnen penmesser after pressing on the food container is less than the Flanschau hybrid trimmesser the food container , As a result, the lid is fixed to the food container here, too, without the food container being permanently sealed gas-tight by the lid.
  • the permanently harder and gas-tight closure according to the invention is carried out only in a closing station, and indeed according to the invention by per se known folding or flanging.
  • the covered food container is transported from a filling station to a closing station.
  • the transport path provided for this purpose is rectilinear and preferably the already filled and covered food container is not accelerated on the transport path. It is particularly preferred that the initially empty food container transported on a circular path to the filling at the filling station and then transported on a tangent to this circular path from the filling station to the closing station. In this way, accelerations of the filled food container, which can lead to sloshing of a content, avoided as possible.
  • the lids for covering and then closing the food container are supplied to this in the filling station preferably under a protective gas atmosphere to ensure that not the lid itself already leads to contamination of the food container or its contents. In addition, so the oxygen content of the gas atmosphere or half of the liquid level is reduced in the filled food container.
  • the food container is filled with a liquid food which either contains carbon dioxide - that is, for example, a carbonated beverage - or additionally a gas such as carbon dioxide or nitrogen is supplied to the food container in liquid or solid form in this way to cause the supplied gas to outgas on the transport path between the filling station and the closing station and thus displace an oxygen-containing atmosphere possibly located above the level of the liquid in the filled food container.
  • a gas is meant a substance that is gaseous at room temperature. This means that the room temperature gaseous substance - referred to here as gas - can be liquid or solid when it is supplied at a significantly lower temperature to the respective food container to be filled.
  • Fig. 1 shows an example of a combination of a filling station 10 and a closing station 12, with which a food container 14 is first filled with a drink and then sealed with a lid.
  • the filling station 10 is shown only hinted.
  • an empty beverage can 14.1 is shown, which is the filling station 10 is supplied.
  • a can 14.2 shown as a food container, which is filled in the filling station 10.
  • Another can 14.3 is transported from the filling station 10 to the closing station 12.
  • a can 14.4 reaches the closing station 12.
  • a lid with the can in a known manner by folding firmly connected, so that the can is then sealed.
  • Such a sealed box 14.5 is in Fig. 1 also indicated.
  • a lid feeder 20 is provided in the immediate vicinity of the filling station 10, with each of a filled box each having a lid is supplied, with which the can is then closed later in the closing station 12 tightly and permanently by folding.
  • a lid is supplied to each filled can so that the can is covered with a lid immediately after it has been filled, so that gas can still escape from the interior of the can to the outside, but no germs from outside to the inside of the covered Can penetrate can.
  • the feeding of the lid to the filled in the filling station 10 cans takes place under a protective gas atmosphere, ie in a CO 2 atmosphere, to ensure that germs are not already included in the placement of the lid on the just filled food containers.
  • the lid of the respective can (14.3) is fixed so that it can not fall off.
  • a pressure rail 22 which is located above the transport path between the filling station 10 and closing station 12 and prevents falling of the lid on this transport. In this way, a respective lid is passively fixed to the respective food container, so the respective can.
  • a respective lid is placed on the opening of the respective food container so that it is actively fixed to the food container, so holds on to the food container without further aids.
  • Fig. 2 shows an example.
  • the upper edge of a conventional beverage can 30, which encloses its filling opening, is indicated. Also indicated is the edge region of a lid 32 with which the filling opening of the can 30 is closed.
  • Fig. 2a shows how with the aid of a punch 34, a deformation of the edge portion 36 of the lid 32 can be brought about, so that as a result Outer edge diameter D1 (see Fig. 2b ) which is smaller than a flange outside diameter D2 of the upper edge of the food container 30.
  • Fig. 2 only part of a total rotationally symmetric punch 34 is shown. Namely, that part of the punch 34 is shown, which engages with the outer edge of the lid 32 and this deformed so that the in Fig. 2b Set shown diameter ratios.
  • FIGS. 3a and 3b each show a flange 30 ', a can 14' and a lid 32 '.
  • the flange 30 ' has a flange inner diameter D 1 .
  • the flange inner diameter is the smallest clear width of the opening of the can 14 '.
  • the lid 32 has in the usual manner an oblique peripheral wall, which is referred to as a core slope 36.
  • the lid 32 ' is formed so that it has an outer diameter in the region of its core slope 36, which is greater than the flange inner diameter D i .
  • the lid 32 ' is fixed to the can 14' by clamping its core bevel 36 to the flange 30 'or can 14'.
  • Both the flange 30 'and the lid 32' each have a curl 38 and 40, which allows the can 14 'by means of the lid 32' in a closing station by means of a conventional double fold final and permanently close tight.
