Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device having a receptacle for storing a product, which consists of a first liquid component and at least one second component, wherein the receptacle is connected by at least one filling line with at least one filling valve.
  • the invention further relates to a method for filling a container with a product that is stored within a receptacle, wherein the product consists of a first liquid component and at least one second component and in which the product to be filled container via at least one filling line and at least one filling valve is supplied.
  • Such products may be, for example, foods.
  • the second component is liquid.
  • An example of a product with such a component are emulsions, especially milk.
  • the second component is fixed. This may for example be the case with a fruit juice with pieces.
  • Other examples are milk with coconut flakes, milk with cereals and soups and sauces with chunky proportions.
  • the lumpy portions may be, for example, vegetables and / or meat.
  • the second component is typically in the form of particles, with a mean diameter of these particles lying within a range of 1 to 40 mm. In special cases, smaller or larger average diameters are possible.
  • the problem may arise that the distribution of the second component in the first component is not homogenous over time but that segregation processes take place.
  • the specific weight of the first and the second component it is possible, on the one hand, for particles to rise or settle on the other hand.
  • a device which has a receptacle for storing a product.
  • the receptacle is connected by a filling line with a filling valve.
  • a throttle valve is arranged between the receiving container and the filling valve.
  • Object of the present invention is to construct a device of the aforementioned type such that a segregation of the components is counteracted.
  • Another object of the present invention is to improve a method of the aforementioned type such that a segregation of the components is counteracted.
  • the filling line between the receptacle and the filling valve of at least one throttle valve is divided into line sections and that the line section between the filling valve and a filling valve adjacent arranged throttle valve is dimensioned such that the internal volume of this part of the line section in Substantially corresponds to a filling volume of a container to be filled.
  • the filling line between two adjacent throttle valves is dimensioned such that the internal volume of this part of the filling line substantially corresponds to a filling volume of a container to be filled.
  • a gentle product filling is supported by the fact that the filling line extends substantially in the vertical direction below the receptacle.
  • the receptacle is designed to carry out a purely gravimetric filling.
  • an internal pressure deviating from the ambient pressure can be generated within the receptacle.
  • a segregation of the product is counteracted by an inner diameter of the filling line about 1.3 times the size of an average particle size of solid components contained within the product.
  • Separation of the product can be prevented by moving the product within the receptacle from a conveyor.
  • Fig. 1 is in an interior (1) of a receptacle (2) arranged a tubular guide element (3).
  • the guide element (3) extends with a longitudinal axis (4) substantially in a vertical direction.
  • the receptacle (2) in a horizontal sectional plane on a circular contour and the guide element (3) is substantially concentrically positioned within the receptacle (2).
  • the interior (1) serves to receive a product to be stored (5).
  • the product has within the receiving container (2) to a level (6).
  • a sensor (7) To detect the level (6) is a sensor (7) which is connected to a level measuring device (8).
  • the guide element (3) can, according to one embodiment, have a circular cross-sectional area in a horizontal sectional plane. But there are also other rounded or square cross-sectional areas feasible.
  • a lower end (9) of the guide element (3) is arranged at a distance (10) from a bottom (11) of the receptacle (2).
  • a Querterrorismerweittation (12) is provided in the region of the lower end (9).
  • FIG. 1 shows FIG. 1 in that a cross-sectional enlargement (14) is realized in the region of an upper end (13) of the guide element (3).
  • the guide element (3) opens a supply line (15) for the product (5).
  • it is intended to fix the supply line (15) in the region of a wall (16) of the receptacle (2) and to support and position the guide element (3) through the feed line (15).
  • the conveyor (17) may be formed as a propeller, which is coupled via a shaft (18) with a drive (19).
  • the bottom (11) has in the illustrated embodiment, a contour (20) such that a central region of the bottom (11) are arranged at a higher level than edge regions of the bottom (11). The bottom (11) thereby bulges in the direction of the guide element (3).
  • FIG Fig. 2 are in the region of the bottom (11) arranged a plurality of filling lines (21) which connect the receptacle (2) with associated filling devices.
  • at least one guide element (22) is arranged, which suppresses the formation of rotary flows within the guide element (3) and promotes the formation of currents in the direction of the longitudinal axis (4).
  • three guide elements (22) designed as guide plates can be arranged, which are arranged in a circumferential direction of the guide element (120) at 120 ° relative to each other.
  • Fig. 3 shows an embodiment in which the receptacle (2) a plurality of filling lines (21) are connected.
  • Connecting elements (26) which connect the filling lines (21) to the receptacle (2) are preferably arranged equidistantly relative to each other along a circumference of the receptacle (2) and extend at least in sections with a radial relative to a longitudinal axis of the receptacle (2) directional component.
  • each of the filling lines (21) of a throttle valve (23) is divided.
  • the filling lines (21) connect the receptacle (2) with filling valves (24).
  • a line section (25) having an internal volume corresponding to the intended filling volume for a container to be filled.
  • the throttle valves (23) lying line sections have an internal volume, which corresponds in each case to the internal volume of the line section (25).
  • a cross-sectional area of the filling lines (21) is preferably about 1.3 times a mean cross-sectional area of solid particles contained within the product to be filled.
  • the lengths of the filling lines (21) are minimized as possible in order to prevent segregation processes of the components of the product.
  • it is also thought to provide a shut-off possibility in the area of the connection elements (26).
  • the advantage of the above-described dimensioning of the volume of the line section (25) is that at a taking place within the line section (25) partial separation of the components, the components are still filled in the intended ratio in the container to be filled and again intensively during the filling process be mixed.
  • FIG. 4 shows for further illustration a filling line (21) with two throttle valves (23) and one below the filling valve (24) positioned container (27).
