Definitions
- the present invention relates to an installation for packaging a product in containers.
- Product packaging installations comprising a series of filling stations each comprising a filling spout and a support member for supporting a container directly above the filling spout, in order to successively fill containers with a quantity predetermined product.
- the filling spout comprises a spout body having an upper end connected to a supply duct and a lower end provided with an orifice equipped with a controlled flap.
- the collector used for the recovery of the product during the initial filling of the filling spouts is generally also used for the recovery of the washing and rinsing product of the filling spouts so that it It is not conceivable to reuse the product which flows during the initial filling of the filling spout. This represents a loss, not only in terms of the cost of the unused product, but also the additional cost of processing the products recovered in the collector.
- the total evacuation of the air supply ducts, the connecting member and the filling spouts is performed during a phase of pre-production during which the nozzles are fed with product, which is poured into containers discarded later or in a gutter of product recovery, until complete disappearance of bubbles. A relatively large amount of product is wasted.
- the products used to fill trapping, during their manufacture air, usually in the form of bubbles, which must be removed to improve the accuracy and repeatability of the filling, and prevent overflowing containers . Part of this air may also accumulate in the upper parts of the supply ducts making a necessary operator intervention during production to evacuate the air accumulated by playing on a vent valve.
- An object of the invention is to provide a reliable packaging facility for a product in containers, to minimize the amount of lost product and the consumption of wash water during product changes.
- an installation for packaging a product in containers comprising at least one filling station comprising a filling spout and a support member for supporting a container in line with the filling spout, the filling spout comprising a spout body having a portion connected to a supply duct of the filling spout connected to a general supply duct provided with an isolation valve, and a lower end provided with an orifice equipped with a controlled valve.
- the filling spout is equipped with a looping duct opening into the spout body above the valve and connected to a connecting member connected to the general supply duct and to a main purge duct for selectively connecting the spout.
- a secondary purge duct is connected, via a secondary purge valve, to the general supply duct upstream of the isolating valve and to the main purge duct upstream of a main purge valve, and an upper section of the main purge valve.
- Main vent pipe is oriented to trap air bubbles rising from the product.
- the body of the filling spout is fed by the looping duct, so that the product flows in the same direction as the air trapped in the filling spout and it is sufficient to send in the ducts a quantity of product only slightly greater than the volume of the ducts and the body of the filling spout so that the supply ducts, the spout and the connecting member are purged of the air which they initially contained .
- This initial filling is very fast and the quantity of product rejected is very low.
- the absence of filler tank and associated tubing limits the wash water and the purge circuit provides a degassing or debubbling function for removing air from the supply ducts.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic overall view of the installation according to the invention
- FIG. 2 is a schematic axial sectional view along a vertical plane of a connecting member mounted in this installation.
- the illustrated filling device comprises, in a manner known per se, a rotary carousel comprising a rotary frame 1 on which filling stations are mounted, each comprising a filling spout 2 and a support member 4 for supporting a container in line with the filling spout, each support member 4 being associated with a weighing member 5 providing control of the corresponding filling spout in relation to a control unit not shown.
- Each filling spout 2 has a spout body 6 having an upper end connected to a filling spout supply duct 7 and a lower end provided with an orifice 8 equipped with a controlled flap valve 9.
- each filling spout 2 is further equipped with a looping conduit 10 having one end fixed to the spout body 6 and opening into the spout body 9 above the flap, and an opposite end connected to a multichannel connecting member 11, or diffuser, the structure of which will be described below with reference to FIG. 2.
- the multichannel connecting member 11 is connected on the one hand to a general supply duct 12 itself. even connected to a tank supply 3 via a pump 13 mounted in the vicinity of said feed tank.
- An isolation valve 16 is mounted between the pump 13 and the feed tank 3 to isolate the feed tank of the pump 13.
- the general supply duct 12 is equipped with a shut-off valve 14 and an isolation valve 15 mounted between the shut-off valve 14 and the multi-path connection member 11.
- An effluent discharge duct 17 is connected via a valve 18 to the general supply duct 12 between the pump 13 and the stop valve 14.
- a washing water conduit 19 is connected via a valve 20 to the general supply duct 12 upstream of the pump 13 and downstream of the isolation valve 16 of the supply tank 3 with respect to the duct. general supply 12.
- a pressurized air supply duct 21 is also connected to the general supply duct 12 via a valve 22 to the general supply duct 12 upstream of the isolation valve 15.
- the installation comprises a purge circuit generally designated 23 comprising a main purge duct 24 connected to the multichannel connecting member 11 and equipped with a purge valve 25 connected to the purge duct 24 by a T-connection, one of which opposite branch to the connection to the purge duct 24 is connected to one end of a secondary purge duct 26, the opposite end of which is connected via a secondary purge valve 27 in the upper part of the general supply duct 12 upstream of the isolation valve 15.
- the secondary purge duct 26 has a passage section smaller than the passage section of the main purge duct 24.
- the main purge duct 24 comprises an upper section 24.1 oriented to trap bubbles. air rising from the product. Said upper section 24.1 is connected to the connecting member 11 by a vertical section 24.2.
- the upper portion 24.1 here is very slightly inclined relative to the horizontal towards the vertical section 24.2, that is to say that the end of the upper section 24.1 connected to the secondary purge duct 26 is above the end of the upper section 24.1 connected to the vertical section 24.2.
- Two product presence sensors N2 and N3 are mounted on the vertical section 24.1 to measure the presence in the main purge duct 24 of a quantity of product and the main purge valve 25 is controlled according to this amount.
- a product presence sensor NI is mounted on the main supply duct 12 in the vicinity of the connecting member 11.
- the multi-path connection member 11 comprises, in a manner known per se, a first circular chamber 42 to which are connected the supply ducts 7 of the filling spouts 2 of the various filling stations in a regular distribution around an axis of symmetry of the multi-channel connection member 11. Also in a manner known per se, the first chamber 42 is connected by a first connecting pipe 43 to the general supply duct 12 via a coupling turning 44.
- the connecting member further comprises a second chamber 45 concentric with the first chamber 42 and extending under the first chamber being separated therefrom by an intermediate partition 46.
- a second conduit 48 is fixed to the intermediate partition 46 and extends coaxially with the first conduit 43 inside thereof.
- the lower end of the conduit 48 is fixed to the intermediate partition 46 by radial arms defining around conduit 48 an opening 49 through the intermediate partition 46.
- the upper end of the conduit 48 is connected to the inside of the swivel 44 to provide a connection with the conduit 31 of the accumulation path.
- the looping ducts 10 of the different filling spouts open into the bottom wall of the second chamber 45.
- a circular plate-shaped distribution member 50 is mounted in the second chamber 45 concentrically therewith.
- the position of the dispensing member 50 in the second chamber 45 is determined by a control rod 52 whose upper end is connected to a control member 53 and whose lower end is connected to the dispensing member by radial arms defining an opening 54 through the dispensing member facing the lower end of the second conduit 48.
- the upper face of the dispensing member 50 comprises an annular surface 55 sealing the opening 49 in a sealed manner when the dispensing member 50 is in the high position, applied against the intermediate wall 46.
- the plate 50 is in the high position providing a "looping" configuration which makes it possible to make the filling machine an extension of the general supply duct 12 and puts in series:
- the "looping" configuration is used during air purge phases at the start of production or during washings.
- the plate 50 is brought into the low position and the stop valve 14 is open.
- the secondary purge valve 27 is then opened, which has the effect of sending a small product flow, heavily loaded with air (since taken from an upper part of the general supply duct 12) in the upper section 24.1 of the duct main purge 24.
- the layer of product has a small thickness promoting the rise of bubbles on the surface so that the upper section 24.1 plays the role of "debuller” by creating a separation between these bubbles which remains on the surface of the product and the product which is descended to the connecting member 11.
- the low product flow in the secondary purge duct 26 with respect to the flow of the duct main purge 24 is obtained by correctly sizing the section of these two ducts. Alternatively, it is possible to play also on the passage section of the secondary purge valve 27.
- the main purge valve 25 is controlled to open, which allows to gradually evacuate the excess air contained in the main purge duct 24.
- the main purge valve 25 is controlled to close when the product goes up to the N3 sensor. There is therefore no product rejection associated with this process of purging the air contained in the product.
- This configuration with a supply line in series with an air purge duct offers the advantage of significantly improving the dosing accuracy, especially in the case of weight technology. Indeed, as previously mentioned, the presence of air in the main purge duct 24 makes it possible to absorb the pressure variations related to the opening and closing of the nozzles, which makes it possible to have a relatively stable dosing rate.
- the flow rate in the supply ducts 7 of the filling spouts 2 can be adjusted by the degree of opening of the isolation valve 15 on the one hand and by the pressure of the air in the upper section 24.1 of the main purge duct 24.
- the variation of the total flow in the pipes 7 of the filling spouts is compensated by a variation of the level of product in the vertical section 24.2 of the main purge duct 24 so that the flow rate is substantially constant in each of the supply ducts 7 of the filling spouts 2.
- the isolation valve 16 of the feed tank 3 is closed and a scraper known in itself (commonly called pig) is introduced into the general supply duct.
- the valve 20 of the washing circuit 19 is open so that the washing water pushes the scraper which itself pushes the product such that a number of containers substantially corresponding to the volume of product contained in the circuit of the installation is filled using the filling spouts in a conventional way.
- the secondary purge valve 27 is closed before the scraper protrudes and the isolation valve 15 is closed when the scraper has reached its arrival station.
- the link member 11 is then driven in the up position to loop the circuit.
- the washing is then carried out in a traditional manner by putting a collector under the spouts 2 and under the main purge valve 25 to recover the washing water.
- Pressurized air is sent into the general supply duct 12 to empty the wash water from the plant circuit and dry it.
- Rinsing and purging of the installation can be carried out under the same conditions as washing.
- the installation is then ready to condition a new product brought in a manner known per se from a feed tank connected in parallel to the stop valve 14 via appropriate separation valves to avoid communication between feed tanks.
- the installation has been described in relation to a weighted dosage with the containers being supported by the bottom, the invention also applies to filling spouts associated with receptacle supports by the neck and / or flow meters.
- the dispensing member 50 may have on its underside studs projecting extending opposite each of the looping ducts 10 to close them during production operations.
- the main purge valve can be replaced by two valves: a larger flow valve for purging the non-production circuit and a smaller flow valve to regulate the air pressure in the upper section during production.
- the washing circuit can be connected to the purge duct upstream and next to the main purge valve 25. This solution is however more consuming in washing water.
