Definitions

  • the invention relates to a filling element according to the preamble of patent claim 1 and to a filling machine according to the preamble of patent claim 9.
  • Filling elements and filling machines for filling bottles or similar containers, especially for pressure filling are known in various designs.
  • pressure filling is generally to be understood as meaning a filling process in which the respective container to be filled, with its container mouth in sealing position against the filling element, is filled before the actual filling phase, i. is biased before opening the liquid valve with a pressurized gas clamping gas (inert gas or CO2 gas), which is then displaced during filling of the inflowing, the container contents increasingly as return gas from the container interior.
  • a pressurized gas clamping gas inert gas or CO2 gas
  • the feeding of the clamping gas into the respective container and the discharge of the return gas from the respective container take place in known filling elements via one and the same formed in Railelement controlled gas path, ie via a gas path in which a control valve is arranged.
  • This is then, for example, part of a pneumatic control valve assembly and is at least over an electrically controllable switching valve controlled by a machine control of the filling machine.
  • Such a filling device for counter-pressure filling was, for example, by the DE 75 36 390 U known.
  • the introduced from this document filling member consists of a centrally guided through the filling port return gas pipe and a concentrically arranged and axially movable fluid valve, in the hollow in the gas space of the Gregutkessels extending shaft, the supply and return gas line and at its upper end a controllable gas valve are attached.
  • the liquid control valve allows a safe and rapid closing of the gas and also of the liquid valve, in particular even in the event of a sudden drop in pressure, as occurs, for example, when a container to be filled bursts during the filling phase.
  • the object of the invention is to show a filling element which allows different flow cross-sections for the clamping gas and the return gas at a low design overhead, without additional circuitry and control engineering effort. Furthermore, the number of gas paths over the prior art should be reduced. To solve this problem, a filling element according to the patent claim 1 is formed. A filling machine is the subject of claim. 9
