Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device and a method for treating at least one container, preferably for the cold aseptic filling of a filling material in at least one container, for example for the cold aseptic filling of milk products in a beverage filling plant.
- a defined atmosphere is preferably produced and maintained, which preferably has a reduced number of germs and spores in order to contaminate the filling product and the containers as little as possible.
- a bottling in this way makes it possible to achieve the longest possible shelf life of the bottled products.
- a defined temperature and a defined humidity are maintained in the clean room usual way.
- the clean room is usually formed by a housing surrounding the corresponding areas, which protects the clean room from the ingress of germs and allows the formation of a defined atmosphere.
- peripheral system parts In the beverage filling plants usually designed as rotary machines plant components, such as stretch blow molder, conveyor star, rinser, sterilizer, filler or capper, corresponding peripheral system parts are provided, which include corresponding mitbewegte housing parts. Fixed housing parts, such as side walls, are also provided. There are also usually aggregates such. Drives, valves or sensors of the individual system parts and associated piping and wiring outside the respective moving housing part, for example, outside of the clean room final housing roof.
- aggregates of individual treatment organs, for example, of closure organs, outside the clean room can be arranged. The corresponding translational and rotational movements of the driven members then take place correspondingly relative to the respective housing part.
- seals are usually provided, which are for example as labyrinth seals using a positive pressure in the clean room, which provides a constant, outwardly directed gas flow through the labyrinth seal, are formed.
- water locks can be used, in which a sword-shaped housing part is immersed in a trough-shaped housing part, wherein in the trough-shaped housing part, a corresponding barrier medium is provided.
- the latter type of seal is also called a siphon seal.
- a disadvantage of such a device is that any overfilling and thus overflow of the blocking medium into other machine areas either can not be detected, or else a further level probe for detecting the overfilling and an additional automation effort is needed.
- Furthermore known from the prior art is to fill the respective trough continuously and remove the excess barrier medium via an overflow. This is for example from the DE 10 2006 007 481 B3 known, in which each trough a water castle separately filling is supplied and is determined separately at each water lock via a flow meter, whether the appropriate degree of filling is achieved. Accordingly, the automation effort is also quite high here.
- the DE 10 2006 007 481 B3 discloses an apparatus for treating at least one container according to the preamble of claim 1, and a corresponding method.
- US 3,799,220 A describes an apparatus for the aseptic conditioning of any products, especially foods. From the EP 2 489 627 A2 is a container treatment plant with aseptic Wand let Kunststoffunq known.
- an apparatus for treating at least one container preferably for cold aseptic filling of a filling material in a container
- a housing enclosing a clean room, in which the treatment of the container is feasible, with a fixed housing part and a relative to this moving housing part to seal the stationary housing part relative to the moving housing part, at least one first water lock is provided on a first level and an at least second water lock is provided on a second level below the first level.
- the barrier medium commonly used herein may be water, purified water and / or water provided with a disinfecting and / or sterilizing agent. Any other barrier medium can also be used.
- Another advantage of the proposed device results from the fact that a flow for the barrier medium must be connected only to the first water lock and therefore the piping and the cost of supplying the barrier medium to the second water lock can be reduced.
- the device makes it possible to check the correct level of the first water lock on the behavior of the barrier medium in the downstream second water lock. For example, if the second water lock filled with barrier medium, it can be assumed that the first water lock is filled with barrier medium, otherwise a flow of the barrier medium from the first water lock to the second water castle and the filling achieved by the second water castle would not have occurred. In other words, first the first water lock, so the upper water lock, filled with the barrier medium, and when this filling is complete, the barrier medium to the second water castle, so the lower water castle, overflowed, even in the second water castle a full filling is reached.
- a correct filling of the two water locks can be detected by means of a single common flow sensor after the second water lock.
- the filling process of the respective water locks is further simplified, since only one pass of the barrier medium from the upper water lock to the lower water castle must take place and no separate control of the introduction of the barrier medium for the lower water castle is necessary.
- a flow sensor is preferably provided at the outlet of the second water lock, which is used for common verification of the filling of all upstream water locks.
- Accurate monitoring of the filling of the water locks can be achieved by also measuring the flow of barrier media flowing into the inlet of the first water lock by means of a flow sensor provided upstream of an inlet of the first water lock.
- Particularly easy maintenance of a predetermined filling level in the first and in the second water lock can be achieved if the outlet of the respective water castle is designed as a filling level of the water castle predetermining overflow. Accordingly, first the first, above, water lock is filled with the barrier medium until it has reached the predetermined by the overflow level. Only then does the barrier medium pass over and into the second, below it, moated castle. So it can be ensured that the first water lock is filled to the predetermined filling level and only then the second Water lock is filled to the specified filling level. A correct filling of all water locks can then be determined by measuring at least the presence of a barrier media flow from the outlet of the second water lock.
- first water lock and the second water lock can be charged via a barrier medium reservoir arranged above with the blocking medium.
- a closure disinfection basin which has a corresponding outlet, can be used to feed the first water lock and the second water lock. It then takes place preferably only a flow of the corresponding barrier medium from the liquid reservoir arranged above it to the first water lock and then on to the second water lock arranged underneath, without a pump having to be used. In this way too, the complexity of the overall system can be reduced, thereby increasing reliability. At the same time energy can be saved.
- a flow to an inlet of the first water lock, as well as a return from an outlet of the second water lock in a circulation line are preferably involved, and preferably a circulation of the barrier medium from the flow through the first water lock, through the fluid connection and through the second water lock through to Return provided.
- the barrier medium runs through the water locks cascade from top to bottom.
- a flow sensor at the outlet of the second water lock is preferably provided by means of which it can be checked whether the barrier medium expires from the second water lock and correspondingly a complete filling the first and the second moated castle is present.
- a drainage line is provided in fluid communication with the lowest point of the first water lock and the second water lock to allow complete emptying of the respective water locks, for example for maintenance and cleaning purposes of the entire system.
- the water locks can also be emptied individually and independently, if the respective outlet of the other water castle, for example, due to the formation as overflow, remains blocked.
- a check valve and / or check valve downstream of the outlet of at least the second water lock is provided to prevent overflow of the barrier medium in the lower water lock due to the hydrostatic pressure during emptying of the upper water lock.
- the system described above by means of two water locks may particularly preferably have between the level of the first water lock and the level of the second water lock at least one further water lock, which communicates via the fluid connection in the same way with the first water lock and the second water lock.
- a further water lock arranged between the first and the second water lock can be charged with the blocking medium in the same way as described above. Accordingly, in turn can be deduced from the flow of the barrier medium from the lowest water castle on the filling of all upstream water locks.
- the barrier medium flows through all connected water locks cascading from top to bottom. It is accordingly a series connection of the different water locks.
- the fluid connection is preferably designed so that the barrier medium can flow through the water locks arranged on the different levels in a cascade.
- a water seal which seals off a rotational and / or translational movement of a treatment member, and the first water lock and / or the second water lock is sealing with the treatment member Water lock connected cascading over the fluid connection. In this way, a continuous supply of the individual water locks can be achieved, wherein the barrier medium then flows through the water locks cascading from top to bottom.
- the first and / or the second water lock may also be formed by such a water lock sealing a rotational and / or translational movement of a treatment member.
- a flow, a return and / or a drainage over at least one distribution track of a media rotary distributor is transferred to the moving housing part.
- co-rotating troughs and co-rotating water locks for example, for sealing a treatment member, can be supplied with the corresponding barrier medium.
- a method for treating at least one container preferably for cold aseptic filling of a filling material in a container, proposed in a clean room enclosing housing having a fixed housing part and a relative to this moving housing part, wherein for sealing the stationary housing part relative to the moving Housing part at least a first water lock on a first level and at least a second water lock are provided at a level lying below the first level.
- a barrier medium is conducted from the first water lock into the second water lock.
- FIG. 1 schematically shows a device 1 for treating at least one container, comprising a housing 2, which encloses a clean room 20.
- the housing 2 has a fixed housing part 22 and a housing part 24 which is movable relative thereto.
- the movable housing part 24 is, for example, in a device for cold aseptic filling of a filling in containers in the form of a housing part, such as a plant roof, together with the respective plant part, such as a rinser, a sterilizer, a filling machine or a capper, rotating housing part.
- the fixed housing part 22 is for example a side wall of such a system.
- a first water lock 3 is provided, which is arranged on a first level N 1 . Furthermore, a second water lock 4 is arranged on a second level N 2 .
- the trough 30 of the first water lock 3 and the trough 40 of the second water lock 4 are in the in FIG. 1 shown embodiment attached to the stationary housing part 22.
- an attachment of the respective trough 30, 40 or the entire water lock 3, 4 may be provided on the moving housing part 24.
- a recording of a whole water lock on the moving housing part 24 is particularly the case, for example, if individual treatment organs such as closure members are arranged on the moving housing part 24 and rotate together with the moving housing part 24.
- the sealing of the rotary or - a corresponding depth of immersion of a corresponding sword in a corresponding trough presupposed - translational movement of a corresponding treatment member relative to a housing roof can be achieved accordingly by a co-rotating as a whole about the axis of rotation of the device 1 moated castle.
- a supply, a drainage and / or a return or a supply line or a discharge for the co-rotating troughs of the corresponding water locks via a corresponding track of a media rotary distributor supplied and / or removed.
- FIG. 1 shown schematic representation, only a first water lock 3 and a second water lock 4 are shown. However, it can also be provided several water locks, depending on the geometric design of the overall device. In particular, several water locks can be connected to one another in the manner described below.
- the first water lock 3 comprises an annular trough 30, which surrounds at least a part of a plant part concentric with its axis of rotation and in which a barrier medium 32 is accommodated, which is filled up to a predetermined filling level h 1 .
- the barrier medium 32 is, for example, water, purified water and / or water added with a disinfectant and / or sterilant.
- annular sword 34 dives.
- the sword 34 can rotate about the axis of rotation of the plant part.
- a gas-tight seal of the located on the inside and the outside of the sword 34 spaces is achieved against each other accordingly.
- a certain minimum filling must be achieved in the trough 30, preferably, the predetermined filling level for 1 hour.
- the second water lock 4 has a substantially identical structure and accordingly also has a trough 40, which is filled with a barrier medium 42 up to a filling level h 2 .
- a sword 44 which is attached to the moving housing part 24.
- the first water lock 3 is in direct communication with the second water lock 4 via a fluid connection 5.
- the fluid connection 5 is designed such that it leads from an outlet 36 of the first water lock 3 to an inlet 48 of the second water lock 4. Accordingly, barrier medium 32 flows out of the first water lock 3 via the outlet 36 and via the fluid connection 5 to the inlet 48 of the second water lock 4 and fills the second water lock 4 corresponding to the leaked from the first water lock 3 barrier medium.
- the outlet 36 of the first water lock 3 is formed as an overflow, by means of which a simple level position of the barrier medium at the predetermined filling level h 1 can be achieved. Accordingly, the barrier medium 32 from the first water lock 3 only runs out of the outlet 36 designed as an overflow when it has reached the desired filling level h 1 in the trough 30. An overflow of the trough 30 is prevented in this way but also because the filling level can not exceed the predetermined by the trained as overflow outlet 36 height.
- the level N 1 of the first water lock 3 is above the level N 2 of the second water lock 4, and in particular the filling level h 1 of the first water lock 3 is above the desired filling level h 2 of the second water lock 4, by the leakage of the blocking medium 32 via the outlet 36 of the first water lock 3 a reliable filling of the second water lock 4 can be achieved without the need for a special control or regulation would be necessary. Furthermore, it is also possible to dispense with a pump or another conveying device for the blocking medium, which supplies the second water lock 4 directly.
- the filling level h 2 of the second water lock 4 is in the in FIG. 1 embodiment shown also reached via an overflow outlet 46, which ensures that the filling level is maintained.
- the barrier medium is supplied via a supply line 6 to the corresponding inlet 38 of the first water lock 3. Via a valve 60, the flow can be controlled and via a flow sensor 70, the flow of the barrier medium to the inlet 38 can be measured. If the barrier medium completely fills the first water lock 3 in such a way that it flows over the outlet 36, it flows via the fluid connection 5 to the inlet 48 of the second water lock 4. Although the second water lock 4 is completely filled so that the barrier medium overflows the outlet 46, it can be detected via a arranged on a return flow sensor 8 72, the return flow. A first drainage valve 90 and a second drainage valve 94, which will be discussed below, are closed during the filling process.
- a check valve 80 which is open during the filling process and during plant operation.
- the connecting line 7 opens in front of the flow sensor 72 in the return 8 a. This ensures that the barrier medium can actually be detected by the flow sensor 72.
- the flow meter 72 in the return line 8 is completely sufficient. By means of this flow meter 72 can be determined, if ever a liquid flow through the two water locks passes. If this is the case, it can be assumed that both water locks are filled up to the predetermined filling level h 1 or h 2 with the respective barrier medium, since otherwise no overflow via the outlet 36 or the outlet 46 from the first water lock 3 or the second water lock. 4 would be done.
- a fill level sensor 74 and the second water lock 4 also a level sensor 76 may be provided on the first water lock 3, which are optional, but by means of which a precise Determining the fill level.
