For example, during the course of this route, several test procedures can take place on the respective vessels.
- FR 2 576 003 describes a method and apparatus for subjecting objects to a plurality of treatment steps of the same treatment unit. From DE 198 06 647 A1 a method and an apparatus for producing a labeled plastic bottle are known. In this case, a blow molding station is provided for the transformation of plastic preforms into plastic containers, preceded by a device for labeling plastic preforms.
- the present invention has for its object to make such devices even more compact compared to the prior art. This is achieved according to the invention by a device and a method according to the independent claims. Advantageous embodiments and further developments are the subject of the dependent claims.
- a device for treating containers has a movable carrier for transporting the containers to be treated and a plurality of treatment units which treat each container in a predetermined manner.
- the treatment units of a first group of treatment units are filling units which fill the containers with a flowable medium, preferably a liquid and in particular a beverage.
- these filling units each have filling elements arranged on the carrier, which at least partially move with the containers.
- the treatment units of a second group of these treatment units are labeling devices which attach labels to the containers and the treatment units of a third group of these treatment units are closure units which close the containers filled with the sealable medium with a closure and which closure elements are each arranged on a support have, which at least partially move with the containers.
- the treatment units are arranged relative to the carrier such that the containers are filled by the first filling units, the containers are labeled by the labeling units and the containers are closed by the sealing units during transport by means of this one movable carrier.
- the carrier serves as a transport device for transporting the containers.
- the labeling can be done before or after filling or after closing the containers.
- the filling units are each firmly arranged on the carrier and the filling units preferably also have transport elements or gripping elements which hold the containers while the containers are being filled.
- the closing units can also be fixedly arranged on the carrier and hold or guide the containers while they are being closed with a closure.
- the labeling units can also be arranged at least partially fixed to the carrier.
- the present invention is further directed to a device for treating containers with a movable carrier, which carrier serves for transporting the containers to be treated and has a plurality of treatment units, which treats each container in a predetermined manner.
- the treatment units of a first group of these treatment units filling units, which fill the containers with a flowable medium.
- These filling units each have filling elements arranged on a carrier, which at least partially move with the containers.
- the treatment units of a second group of these treatment units are labeling devices which attach labels to the containers.
- the treatment units are arranged relative to the carrier such that the containers are filled by the first filling units and the containers are labeled by the labeling units during transport of the containers by means of a movable carrier.
- the device has a closing unit for closing the containers with closures, wherein this closing device has a plurality of sealing units which close the containers filled with the flowable medium with a closure and these closing units are arranged such that they are filled by the filling units Containers are first closed by the sealing units and then labeled by the labeling.
- the sealing units are not necessarily located on the movable support, but separated therefrom, for example, are arranged on a separate Verschbooaggregat.
- the empty containers first pass through the above-mentioned devices and are thereby filled. Subsequently, the containers are passed over a transport device, such as a transport star to the capper and provided there with closures. Subsequently, the sealed containers are in turn passed to the above-mentioned device and provided there with labels.
- At least one transport means is provided between the movable carrier and the closing device, which conveys the containers to the closing unit.
- a second transport means or a second transport unit is provided, which in turn passes the sealed containers to the combined filler and labeler.
- one of the two transport devices is preferably a dividing delay star and / or a multifunction star in both transport devices.
- the closing device in comparison to the filling device on a smaller diameter with respect to the carrier. This takes into account the fact that the capper does not need such a large diameter as, for example, a filling machine. It is also possible here that the containers are brought by about a Einteilschnecke to a division of the filling and handed over to an inlet star. The containers are filled and transported in the outlet star and then spent with the same star to the capping. After the containers have been closed, they are in turn brought into the division of the labeling machine by the inlet star, which is advantageously a dividing drafting star.
- the outlet star which also serves to supply the containers to the closing device, spills the containers to the outlet.
- the device is a continuous machine, that is, the containers are continuously moved during the treatment operations.
- the machine it would also be possible to run the machine as a clock machine, which transports the containers clocked.
- the carrier is a carrier rotatable about a predetermined axis of rotation.
- the machine can be designed as a rotary machine, wherein the filling units and / or the closing units are arranged on a corresponding rotatable carrier in the manner of a filling carousel or closing carousel.
- the treatment units are arranged on or opposite the carrier such that each container is transported at least twice from the carrier (in particular along a substantially identical transport path) to be filled, labeled and sealed. It would thus be possible for the containers to be filled and closed in a first circulation on or by means of the carrier and to be labeled in a second circulation.
- the containers could be filled and etched in a first circulation and sealed in a second circulation.
- the containers could also be possible for the containers to be filled in a first circulation with the carrier and closed and labeled in a second circulation.
- the containers run exactly twice with the said carrier.
- the three Treatments namely, filling, and sealing and labeling in three cycles with the wearer.
- the filling units and the closing units are arranged offset relative to one another on the carrier.
- a plurality of treatment units may be arranged on the support, with the filling units and the sealing units (and, if appropriate, also the labeling units) being arranged one behind the other on the support.
- this order may be different.
- individual treatment units it would also be possible for individual treatment units to be, for example, combined filling and sealing units. It would also be possible to exchange such treatment units, preferably the replacement of labeling units, in particular for the different equipment of the containers with labels.
- the labeling units are arranged at least partially stationary relative to the carrier and in particular radially outside the outer circumference of the carrier. It is also possible that these labeling units are in turn divided into different groups, so that depending on the customer requirements and different labels can be attached to the containers. In other words, the labeling units are advantageously exchangeable.
- differently treated containers can be fed to the carrier.
- the carrier completely untreated that is empty and not labeled containers are supplied and in a later circulation already filled or sealed or labeled containers.
- the device has a feed device which feeds the containers to the carrier, and a first and a second feed unit, which supply the containers in each case to these feed devices.
- this guide unit may be, for example, a feed star, which supplies the containers to the carrier.
- This feed star can be supplied for example by another star with empty and unlabeled containers and at the same time by another star with already treated in a predetermined manner containers, for example, filled containers.
- this feeding device advantageously has a plurality of controllable holding or gripping elements for holding or gripping the containers.
- each individual gripping element can be individually controlled, for example, opened and closed to take over a container.
- the device has at least one pitch change device, which changes a pitch between the individual containers during their transport. It is thus possible, for example, that a sub-section worm is provided in front of the feeder or the infeed star, which brings the containers to the division of the carrier.
- the above-mentioned further feed unit can also be designed, for example, as a dividing delay starter, which changes a division between the individual containers in order to adapt in this way division of the containers to a further treatment step such as, for example, closing.
- the device advantageously has two or more such pitch change devices, wherein these pitch change devices, as mentioned above, can be, for example, one-piece worms or pitch lag stars.
- a pitch changing device which already conveys containers in a predetermined manner (i.e., in particular already transported by the transport device) back to the carrier.
- the present invention is further directed to a method for treating containers with a plurality of treatment units, wherein the containers during their Treatment be transported at least partially by means of a carrier and the containers by filling units, which are a first group of these treatment units and each arranged on the carrier filling elements, which at least partially with the containers move, are filled with a flowable medium. After being filled with the flowable medium, the containers are closed by means of sealing units, which are a second group of these treatment units and each have closure elements arranged on a carrier which at least partially move with the containers. Furthermore, labels are attached to the containers by means of labeling units, which are a third group of these treatment units.
- the containers are filled by the filling units, the containers are labeled by the labeling units and the containers are closed by the sealing units during transport of the containers by means of a movable carrier.
- the containers are transported during their treatment by the treatment units least twice by means of the carrier.
- the carrier transports advantageous at least temporarily simultaneously containers in different treatment stages, for example, untreated containers to fill them and at the same time already filled containers to close them or already filled and sealed containers to label them and the like.
- a division between the containers is changed at least once during the treatment. So it is possible that after filling the containers their pitch is changed to the division on the division of the one individual closing units.

- FIG. 2 shows a roughly schematic illustration of a further embodiment according to the invention
- FIG. 3a, b two illustrations for illustrating a method according to the invention
- Fig. 4 shows a representation of a further treatment device for containers.
- This device 1 shows a first embodiment of a device 1 according to the invention.
- This device 1 for treating containers according to the invention in this case has a carrier 2, which also serves as a transport device for the container, on which a plurality of treatment units 4, 6, 8 are arranged.
- the treatment units 4 are not shown in detail filling devices that fill the containers with a liquid.
- the treatment units 8 are sealing stations which provide the containers with closures, for example screwing closures onto these containers.
- the treatment units 6 are labeling units which label the containers.
- the reference numeral 18 denotes closing elements, such as sealing heads, which screw the closures on the containers.
- the reference numeral 14 denotes filling elements which fill the containers respectively.
- the carrier 2 or the transport device is rotatably arranged about a rotation axis D.
- the individual treatment units can be arranged equidistantly in the circumferential direction of the carrier.
- the reference character P2 indicates the transport direction of the containers during their transport to the carrier or their transport with the treatment units arranged on the carrier.
- the containers 10 are also shown differently depending on their treatment status.
- the containers 10 represented by empty circles still indicate untreated containers which are neither filled nor closed, nor labeled.
- the circles filled with dots indicate already filled and already closed containers, and the circles provided with a brick-like pattern indicate filled but not yet sealed or labeled containers.
- the containers are filled in a first pass, closed in a second pass and provided with labels in a third circulation with the carrier 2 or the transport device.
- the order may be different, such that first a first pass is made in which the containers are filled, then a second pass in which they are labeled, and finally a third pass in which they are closed.
- the containers are first labeled, then filled and then sealed. Thus, in principle, any sequences are ensured, but the containers are first filled and only then closed.
- the feeder 20 has a plurality of controllable gripping elements 22, which grip the containers 10 for the purpose of transporting them along the arrow P1.
- This feeding device 32 may be a dividing screw, which brings the containers to a predetermined pitch.
- the already treated in a predetermined manner containers are then transferred via an outlet star 36 and a transfer star 34 back to the inlet star 20.
- this transfer star 34 is a dividing delay star, with which the pitch between the individual containers can be changed.
- the transfer star 34 may have a gripping element and in particular a plurality of gripping elements 44, which serve for holding and transporting the containers.
- the containers are preferably preferably isolated leads through the entire device.
- the transfer star 34 has a multiplicity of arms 46, which can be pivoted relative to a carrier 45, on which the individual gripper elements 44 are arranged.
- the reference numeral 38 designates (again only roughly schematically) an evacuation device which holds the finished containers, i. the filled and sealed and labeled containers removed.
- the treatment stations 4, 6, 8 are each arranged alternately on the carrier 2.
- the labeling units 6 are not arranged on the carrier 2 itself but in its surroundings in order to provide the individual containers with labels.
- the individual treatment stations 4, 6, 8 are each shown only roughly schematically. It would also be possible that some of the treatment units (for example, the filling units 4) are offset in the radial direction of the carrier compared to other treatment units.
- the containers therefore advantageously remain during a certain circulation on the carrier at a specific treatment station 4, 6, 8.
- FIG. 2 shows a further embodiment of a device 1 according to the invention.
- the filling units 4 and the sealing units 8 are each combined to form a common treatment station 4, 8 so that two types of treatment stations are alternately arranged here on the support 2.
- the containers are conveyed only twice along their transport path P to the carrier 2, whereas in the embodiment shown in Fig. 1, the containers are conveyed three times along the transport path P2.
- the arrows P1 - P4 overall illustrate the transport path of the containers.
- Reference numeral 42 denotes gripping elements of the carrier 2
- each individual treatment unit is equipped in combination as a labeling station as a filling device and closing device.
- FIGS. 3a and 3b show two further illustrations for illustrating the method according to the invention.
- the filling units and the sealing units are not shown here.
- empty containers 10a are fed to the transport means 2 and, as illustrated in Fig. 3a, filled during this transport.
- the filled containers are then provided with closures during this pass on the transport device 2 and then (already closed) via the outlet star 36 and the transfer star 34 (arrow P4) transported back to the inlet star 20.
- the transfer star 34 is not executed here as a division delay star.
- these containers 10 b are again transferred to the transport device and labeled there with the labeling unit 6 during their second circulation.
- the corresponding sealed and labeled containers are provided with the reference numeral 10 c and are performed on the outlet star 36.
- the sealing units are not on the support 2, but on a further Verschbooaggregat 80.
- This Verschdorfaggregat 80 can take over the already filled containers from the outlet star 36 and close the containers with closures in the course of transport with the unit 80.
- the sealed containers are then transferred again via the inlet star or feeding device to the carrier 2 and then labeled with the labeling units 6.
- both the filling of the containers and the labeling of the containers with the same unit takes place and only the closing takes place with the closing unit 80, which is coupled via the aforementioned outlet and inlet stars with the Fü II- and labeling.
- the inlet star 20 is used both for transporting the still empty and unlabeled containers, as well as for transporting the already filled and sealed containers.
- the outlet star 36 is used here preferably both for transporting the only filled but not yet sealed and not labeled containers, as well as for transporting the filled, labeled and sealed containers.
- the inlet star or feeder 20 and / or the outlet star 36 are designed as Crystalungsverzugssterne, or as so-called multi-function stars. Also by this procedure, a relatively small pitch between the individual containers 10 on the device 1 is made possible.
