Definitions
- the invention relates to a filling machine according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Filling machines for filling bottles or similar containers in particular for pressure filling and / or for pressureless filling of bottles or similar containers when arranged in sealing position with the respective filling element containers are known in various designs.
- pressure filling is generally to be understood as meaning a filling process in which the container to be filled rests in sealing position against the filling element and, as a rule, before the actual filling phase, ie before the liquid valve is opened via at least one controlled element in the filling element trained gas path with a pressurized gas clamping gas (inert gas or C02 gas) is biased, which is then displaced during filling of the inflowing the container contents increasingly as return gas from the container interior, and also via at least one controlled, formed in the filling element
- This pretension phase may be preceded by further treatment phases, for example evacuation and / or flushing of the container interior with an inert gas, for example CO 2 gas etc., also via the gas paths formed in the filling element.
- non-pressurized filling is generally to be understood as meaning a filling process in which the container to be filled is preferably in sealing position against the respective filling element with its container mouth and the container interior is controlled before the actual filling phase, ie before the liquid valve is opened , formed in the filling element gas paths is pretreated, for example evacuated and / or with an inert gas, For example, C02 gas is purged, in which case the gas which is increasingly displaced during the filling of the filling material flowing into the container is removed from the container interior as a return gas via at least one controlled gas path formed in the filling element.
- In sealing position with the filling element befindaji container means in the context of the invention that each container to be filled in the manner known to the expert with its container mouth tightly against the filling element or to a local there, the at least one discharge opening of the filling element surrounding gasket pressed ,
- Container are in the context of the invention, in particular cans and bottles made of metal, glass and / or plastic, but also other packaging, which are suitable for filling liquid or viscous products for pressure filling or for pressureless filling.
- the filling elements each have a plurality of controllable gas paths, each with at least one control valve per gas path, for example, three Such control valves in order to achieve a high degree of flexibility for the filling machine, ie in particular also to the respective product optimally adapted different filling methods, such as pressure filling, pressureless filling, etc.
- the plurality of control valves means a significant design, assembly and control engineering effort ,
