Definitions
- the present invention relates to a closure arrangement for a transport container, in particular a tank container, and a method for the aseptic transport of
- Liquids and bulk goods in particular food, medicines or similar
- Tank containers are used to transport liquids and gases over long distances.
- Tank containers are used in particular in intermodal transport, in which the tank containers are transported on different modes of transport (rail, road, sea) without the need to transfer the cargo.
- Tank containers are also used to transport sensitive, perishable cargo such as food and medicine over long distances. This can e.g. Be milk, fruit juices or medicines.
- Orange juice is concentrated in the growing areas. The juice is deprived of water by cold and or heat treatments. This orange juice concentrate is then transported frozen in specially designed tankers. At the bottling site, the orange juice concentrate is then diluted again with water, optionally with "pulp" and other additives and bottled.This process is energetically complicated by the necessary dehydration .. In addition, the taste quality of the orange juice suffers in this process.
- NFC juice is perishable and its quality suffers from microbial attack.
- the intended for juice concentrate tanker transport is indeed possible for NFC juice in principle. The tankers are cooled, and the juice is transported in largely germ-free and sterilizable containers in which the germ growth on the surface of the cargo is additionally minimized by a nitrogen blanket (oxygen deprivation). Before bottling, however, the juice must first pass from the ship to another
- Transport containers are transferred, with which it can then be transported to the filling plants.
- the cargo is contaminated with germs.
- a transport chain can be formed in which the juice - or another cargo - from the producer to the end user (bottler) can be transported without Um colllvortician.
- a special sealing arrangement is provided, specifically between the first sealing area surrounding a container opening and a lid covering this container opening, which has a correspondingly extending second sealing area on its circumference.
- Seal assembly includes an outer and an inner seal ring. These form a likewise annular gap which comprises a germ barrier.
- Germ barrier can be fixed between the two sealing rings; At the same time, the sealing rings define the maximum extent of the germ barrier. In a further embodiment, this germ barrier is formed as a fluid which is between the two sealing rings and between the first and second
- Sealing area runs.
- a fluid gas, vapor or liquid
- the intermediate space can thereby form or have a chamber which is provided with an inlet and / or a drain through which the sterilizing fluid is supplied and / or discharged.
- This can also be used active ingredients whose germicidal effect diminish over time.
- Germicidal gases can be replaced via the feed. It is thus also possible to pressurize the chamber with a suitable gas, for example nitrogen, so that only the overpressure ensures that no germs can penetrate from the outside into the intermediate space or further into the interior of the tank.
- the gas supply can be done via a separate gas storage (pressure bottle, gas generator).
- this intermediate space or the chamber can be flushed with a supply and / or circulation device. In such an embodiment, the corresponding fluid can then circulate in the intermediate space or in the chamber, thus flushing any infiltrating germs.
- Another embodiment provides to introduce into the space an insert, which receives the sterilizing fluid and possibly binds.
- an insert may be a nonwoven, braid, fabric or foam material which is impregnated with a sterilizing fluid prior to sealing the container and then inserted into the space.
- lamellae or grooves are provided on the container-side first and on the lid-side second sealing region, which, when the lid is attached
- the present invention further relates to a method for the aseptic transport of foods, in particular of orange juice, with the steps:
- the quality of surveillance can be further increased by constantly or
- monitoring station transport control center
- the tempering devices e.g., a refrigeration system
- the tempering devices may be controlled by means of the acquired data.
- the method can be refined to the effect that automatically carried out during transport germ analyzes of the cargo and a required cooling temperature is determined depending on the measured number of nuclei.
- the cooling temperature may be raised. This can save energy and ultimately reduce transportation costs.
