  • Systems for manufacturing containers filled with a pourable product comprising substantially:
  • each of the above said blowing, filling and capping stations comprises a carousel rotatable about a first axis.
  • the carousel of each of the above said stations comprises substantially:
  • the known filling systems also comprise a plurality of transfer conveyors, for example starwheels, rotatable about respective axes and adapted to transfer the containers (or the preforms) between the blowing, filling and capping stations.
  • transfer conveyors for example starwheels, rotatable about respective axes and adapted to transfer the containers (or the preforms) between the blowing, filling and capping stations.
  • the transfer conveyors convey the containers along paths having the shape of an arc of circumference, for example 180 degrees long, which are tangent to one another.
  • the transfer elements cooperate with respective containers along a first arc defining the above said path and are free from the respective containers along a second arc explementary to the first arc.
  • the oxygen present in the head space of the containers needs to be ejected at the end of the filling step, so as to prolong as much as possible the time the product is aseptic and the organoleptic features of the pourable product are maintained once the opening devices are applied on the containers.
  • head space there is intended the portion of the neck of the container above the level reached by the pourable product inside the container at the end of the filling operation.
  • the carousel of the filling station is provided with a plurality of valves borne by respective operative units and adapted to control the injection of nitrogen inside the containers, before filling the same.
  • the containers are fed by the carousel of the filling station, they each first receive a nitrogen flow and then are filled with the pourable product.
  • the injection of nitrogen takes place before the containers reach the filling station.
  • one of the transfer conveyors interposed between the blowing station and the filling station comprises:
  • the nozzles are arranged above respective transfer elements of the carousel and therefore inject nitrogen inside the containers borne by the respective transfer elements.
  • the distributor must ensure the fluidic connection between the duct of the first fixed element and the rotatable nozzles and therefore comprises a plurality of pipings, bearings and sealing members.
  • the above distributor of solution of the known type connects the nozzles and the source of nitrogen, for each angular position of the carousel and thus the nozzles about the second axis.
  • the transfer elements convey the containers only along the first arc of circumference, which is shorter than 360 degrees.
  • some of the transfer elements do not carry any container below the respective nozzles, when they move along the second arc of circumference.

  • unit 1 is incorporated within a production system 3 (only diagrammatically shown in Figure 10 ) of containers 2 filled with a pourable product.
  • the pourable product is a pourable food product which is especially perishable because it contains no preservatives, for example fruit juice.
  • System 3 substantially comprises ( Figure 10 ):
  • System 3 also comprises, proceeding from blowing station 4 to filling station 5:
  • conveyors 9, 10 feed empty containers 2 along respective paths S, T having the shape of an arc of circumference and tangent to path P respectively at stations I, O.
  • System 3 also comprises:
  • conveyor 11 conveys containers 2 along a path U having the shape of an arc of circumference tangent to paths Q, R.
  • System 3 is also adapted to inject an inert fluid, gaseous nitrogen in the case shown, inside empty containers 2 so as to reduce the concentration of oxygen in the head space of containers 2 as much as possible.
  • head space in the present description there is intended the space defined inside the neck portion 19 (visible in figure 2 ) of containers 2 between the surface of the pourable product and the relative closing devices, once the latter have been applied on containers 2.
  • System 3 also comprises ( Figure 10 ):
  • Unit 1 comprises ( figures 2 and 3 ):

  • relative nozzle 26a is above empty container 2 transferred by relative transfer element 30 and injects nitrogen inside container 2.
  • opening 76 of each duct 75 is angularly offset from groove 61, when relative nozzle 26b moves from station O to station I, i.e. when corresponding transfer element 30 has released container 2.
  • relative nozzle 26b is not fed with nitrogen and prevents nitrogen from being dispersed in the environment.
  • Unit 1 also comprises pressure means 80 adapted to press manifold 22 against wheel 25 and ensure that the nitrogen is entrapped between groove 61 and ducts 75 facing groove 61.
  • pressure means 80 comprise a spring 81 interposed between a fixed abutting element 82 and face 51 of manifold 22.
  • Spring 81 is, in the case shown, a helical spring having axis A.

  • production system 3 The operation of production system 3 is shown with reference to a single empty container 2 to be filled with the poruable food product, and to corresponding nozzle 26a and transfer element 30.
  • a blowing head of blowing station 4 forms container 2 from a preform.
  • empty container 2 is fed by conveyor 9 along path S, is fed to unit 1 along path P tangent to path S and is fed by conveyor 10 along path T tangent to path P up to filling station 5.
  • Jaws 17 of transfer element 30 are arranged in the first position at station I of path P so as to withdraw empty container 2 from conveyor 9, are displaced from neck portion 19 to the second position in which they convey empty container 2 along path P, and are displaced back to the first position at station O of path P so as to provide conveyor 10 with empty container 2.
  • Groove 61 faces segments 78 of ducts 75 which feed nozzles 26a along path P between stations I, O.
  • nozzles 26a fed along path P are fed with nitrogen.
  • groove 61 is angularly offset with respect to axis A from segments 78 of ducts 75 in communication with nozzles 26b moving between stations O, I.
  • nozzles 26b moving between station O and station I are not fed with nitrogen.
  • spring 81 on face 51 pushes manifold 22 against wheel 25 and makes the connection between groove 61 and ducts 75 associated to nozzles 26a fluid-tight.
  • Tunnel 14 performs a further nitrogen injection operation inside container 2 to be filled.
  • conveyor 10 transfers container 2 to filling station 5.
  • Carousel 6 of filling station 5 conveys containers 2 along path Q.
  • One of the filling valves fills container 2 moving along path Q with pourable product.
  • Conveyor 11 withdraws container 2 filled with the pourable product and conveys it along path U below tunnel 15.
  • Tunnel 15 injects nitrogen inside the head space defined by neck portion 19 of filled container 2. Oxygen present inside the head space is thus replaced by nitrogen.
  • carousel 8 of capping station 7 withdraws container 2 from conveyor 11 and feeds it along path R.
  • One of the capping heads of capping station 7 applies the closing device on container 2.
  • filled container 2 is transferred to conveyor 12 and thus moves away from system 3.
  • manifold 22 fixed with respect to axis A and wheel 25 rotatable about axis A slide one against the other, so as to create a fluid-tight connection between groove 61 connected to source 24 and feeding ducts 75 of nozzles 26a.
  • manifold 22 delivers, by means of groove 61, nitrogen to ducts 75 connected to nozzles 26a.
  • unit 1 allows to inject nitrogen inside empty containers 2 to be filled without requiring the presence of a further rotating distributor between fixed manifold 22 and wheel 25.
  • unit 1 does not require the presence of pipings, bearings and sealing members associated to the further rotating distributor, thus resulting more cost-effective and simple both to produce and to maintain.
  • groove 61 is fluidically connected only with ducts 75 which feed nozzles 26a moving along path P.
  • nozzles 26b moving between station O and station I, i.e along an arc explementary to path P, are not fed with nitrogen.
  • unit 1 feeds with nitrogen only nozzles 26a arranged above respective containers 2 moving along path P.
  • Nozzles 26b under which there is no empty container 2, are thus prevented from dispersing nitrogen in the environment.
