  • a disadvantage of the known filling systems u.a. the high load of solids contained in the contents by product damaging internals, in particular by the required in the primary line control or control valve, provided by the overflow in the overflow valve and also by the relatively high flow rate driven bypass pump.
  • a disadvantage of known filling systems continues to be high energy consumption, since considerable volume flows undergo a considerable pressure difference.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a method with which at high
  • the bypass pump in the bypass line is, for example, regulated so that the volume flow recirculated via the bypass line and the bypass pump during normal normal operation is only about 5% of a basic value, for example, the rated bulk capacity of the container filling machine, so that alone by the reduced delivery of this pump
  • bypass pump therefore becomes constant during normal operation in this embodiment
  • control of the bypass pump and / or arranged in an overflow line overflow pump is preferably carried out in the filling system according to the invention via frequency converters, which allow infinite control or regulation of the pump delivery rate and thus the corresponding volume flows. Influencing variables or parameters for the control and / or regulation are
  • the current bulk capacity of the container filling machine the rated bulk capacity of the container filling machine, also depending on the type, size and shape of the container, the current product performance of the process plant or the current provided by the process plant volume flow of the filling.
  • the volume flow of the contents provided by the process plant is e.g. in normal operation constant and adjusted so that taking into account the current bulk capacity of the container filling machine via the bypass line the
  • “Product-friendly filling” means in the context of the invention, a filling of solids containing products or products in such a way that these solid ingredients as intact as possible, that is possible not mechanically damaged get into the respective container.
  • the product-sparing filling also requires, in particular, that in product-carrying lines of the filling system, i. at least in the primary line, which connects the boiler of the filling machine with the process plant providing the filling material, the solid components in the filling harmful components are avoided as far as possible.
  • Such installations are u.a. Overflow valves and control or control valves.
  • “Bulk performance” in the sense of the invention means that measured, for example, in liters
  • Filling capacity of the container filling machine per unit of time for example per hour.
  • rated bulk capacity in the sense of the invention means the filling capacity of the container filling machine measured in liters per hour during normal operation, for example, when filling containers having a container volume of 0.5 l, this rated bulk capacity can be 100,000 liters per hour
  • containers are in particular cans, bottles, tubes,
  • free-jet filling is to be understood as meaning a process in which the liquid product flows into the container to be filled in a free filling jet, the container with its container mouth or opening not resting against the filling element, but rather from the filling element or from a local one Gregutauslass is spaced.
  • pressure filling is generally to be understood as meaning a filling process in which the container to be filled in each case is in a sealing position against the container
  • Filling element is applied and usually before the actual filling phase, ie before opening the liquid valve via at least one controlled, formed in the filling element gas path with a pressurized clamping gas (inert gas or C02 gas) is biased, which is then displaced during filling of the inflowing of the container contents increasingly as return gas from the container interior, also via at least one controlled in the

  • pressureless filling is generally to be understood as meaning a filling process in which the container to be filled preferably with its
  • Container mouth also bears in sealing position against the respective filling element and the container interior before the actual filling phase, i. before opening the liquid valve via controlled gas paths formed in the filling element
  • pretreated for example, evacuated and / or with an inert gas
  • CO2 gas is purged, in which case the gas which is increasingly displaced during the filling of the product flowing into the container is removed as a return gas via at least one controlled gas path formed in the filling element from the container interior.
  • the filling system generally indicated at 1 in the figure serves to hot fill a liquid product with solid components into container 2, i. for filling the container 2 with the heated contents.
  • the filling system 1 includes u.a. a
  • Container filling machine 3 circumferential type, of the two schematically filling elements 4, which are provided with a plurality of similar filling elements 4 on the circumference of a vertical machine axis rotatably driven rotor and which each form a filling position for filling the container 2, and one for all filling elements 4 and Filling positions common Gregutkessel or ring boiler 5 is shown.
  • Container filling machines can have a linear design.
  • the product heated to a predetermined temperature is supplied to the ring vessel 5 via a primary line 6 from the outlet 7.1 of a generally designated 7 in the figure process plant (eg KZE), so in the manner described in more detail below the ring boiler 5 at least during the filling operation the liquid product to form a lower

  • the filling elements 4 in particular also for
  • the filling elements 4 are each connected with a separate outlet to a bypass line 8, in which a bypass pump 9, preferably arranged in the form of a positive displacement pump and a Medgutrestmenge or a bypass flow from the Be Strukturer spallmaschine third
  • the filler 1 also comprises an overflow line 10, in which an overflow pump 1 1, for example, preferably in the form of the overflow line 10, is returned to the central processing unit 7, for example to a local reuse container a positive displacement pump is provided and which connects the primary line 6 with the bypass line 8 in the flow direction of the contents after the bypass pump 9, for a controlled Gear directly between the outlet 7.1 and the inlet of the 7.2
  • the filling system 1 is operated so that the process plant 7 at its outlet 7.1 a first volume flow VS1 (contents per unit time) provides that is constant or substantially constant and greater than the current bulk capacity of the Be Daveer Bergllmaschine 3.
  • the first volume flow VS1 for example, 1 10% of a base value, for example, the nominal bulk power of
  • Container filling machine 3 From a process computer 12 of the filling system or the container filling machine 3, the bypass pump 9 or its delivery rate are controlled or regulated so that in normal operation, i. with trouble-free, uninterrupted operation on, by the bypass pump 9 back to the process plant 7
  • Volume flow VS2 of the contents results, which is constant or substantially constant in the illustrated embodiment, for example, 5% of the base value, e.g. the rated bulk capacity of the container filling machine 3 corresponds.
  • Level sensor 13 the overflow pump 11 and their performance are controlled or regulated so that the flow rate VS3 in the overflow 10 is equal to the difference between the flow rate VS1 and the sum of the actual bulk power SL of the filling machine 3 and the flow rate VS2, namely
  • VS3 (VS1 - (SL + VS2)). It should be noted that the process plant 7 can react to changes in the capacity of the container filling machine 3 with respect to the change of the provided volume flow VS1 only with a relatively long time delay, ie
  • the volume flow VS3 in the overflow line 10 is between a range of 5% - 105% of the base value, e.g. the rated bulk capacity of the container filling machine 3 is regulated, in the form that at least during normal operation of the container filling machine 3 and / or the filling system 1 via the overflow line 10 about 5% of the base value, e.g. the rated bulk power, and at an interruption of the filling operation, i. when the actual bulk capacity of the container filling machine 3 is zero, 105% of the base value, e.g. be returned to the nominal bulk power.

  • bypass pump 9 in the bypass line 8 and the overflow pump 1 1 in the overflow line 10 are preferably designed as positive displacement pumps,
  • Volumetric flows VS2 and VS3 are proportional to the pump speed and this also results in an improved control or regulating behavior of a control circuit for keeping the volume flow VS2 constant or for controlling and / or regulating the volume flow VS3.
  • the pumps 9 and 11 cause damage to the solids in the contents only to an extremely small extent because, during normal, trouble-free filling operation, i. in the periods when the container filling machine 3 has its maximum bulk capacity or rated bulk capacity, the bypass line 8 as well as the overflow line 10 lead only small amounts of contents.
  • the advantages of the filling system 1 are thus u.a. in the avoidance of one
  • Another important advantage of the filling system 1 is also that by using the pumps 9 and 11 both in the bypass line and in the overflow line 10, both lines are still outside the process plant 7, i. can be merged before the inlet 7.2. This results in comparison to known filling systems and their process equipment not only an essential
