  • Such devices have been known for a long time from the prior art.
  • beverage crates are conveyed by a transport device through a treatment room and acted upon in this treatment room with cleaning media, such as warm water, liquid detergents and the like for their cleaning.
  • cleaning media such as warm water, liquid detergents and the like for their cleaning.
  • such devices also have separation means to weed out, for example, in the crates left bottle residues, such as broken glass.
  • An example of such a device for cleaning bottle crates is in the DE 44 00 871 A1 specified.
  • the content of this disclosure is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety also to the disclosure content of the present application. In particular, reference is made to the content of the following passages, which is the subject of the present disclosure: Col. 2, line 41 - Col. 4, line 5.

  • at least one wall has a heat-insulating wall, wherein an insulating medium for insulating the wall is integrated in this wall.
  • the housing which surrounds the treatment chamber, at least partially isolate and in particular to heat insulation.
  • the Applicant has found that, despite the temperatures used to clean the boxes in the range of 40 ° to 60 °, there is a high energy requirement because a lot of heat is lost.
  • the insulating means may be, for example, plastics or polyurethane foams, but it would also be possible for the insulating means to be, for example, air or even a partial vacuum, which is introduced between the two walls of the wall bounding the treatment space.
  • the device also has a cover wall which limits the treatment space at the top.
  • the housing is completely closed, with the exception of a first opening through which the beverage crates are supplied, a second opening through which the beverage crates are removed and optionally one or more further openings, on which dirt or other objects, such as broken glass in the ongoing operation can be disposed of.
  • Filtering devices are also advantageously arranged in the treatment chamber or in the housing, which filter the liquid medium used for rinsing or cleaning the bottle crates. This may be, for example, coarse filter and fine filter and the like.
  • the device has an immersion bath, within which the crates are transported. It is possible that the crates are transported by a flow occurring in this dip.
  • a side wall of this dip is also at least partially thermally insulated. It is possible that a possible flow in this immersion bath are generated by pumps and the like, these pumps are advantageously arranged outside the housing.
  • at least one circulating pump generating the flow of the cleaning medium in the immersion bath is preferably provided, which preferably is in fluid communication with its outlet with one end of the immersion bath and with its inlet with the other end of the immersion bath via a return duct.
  • the transport path, along which the beverage crates are guided has at least two sections offset in the vertical or horizontal direction and extending in a longitudinal direction of the device. These two sections can for example be connected to one another via a turning conveyor, which rotates the beverage crates with respect to a predetermined plane or axis of rotation by 180 °.

  • the device has a heat exchanger, which supplies heat to the treatment chamber from the outside.
  • This may be a gas / liquid heat exchanger, a gas / gas heat exchanger or a liquid / liquid heat exchanger.
  • the heat energy of other subunits which there arises as a waste product, can be used to provide the heat energy required in the present invention.
  • cleaning plants are also provided in manufacturing plants, which clean the bottles themselves. These usually work with much higher temperatures and therefore give off much higher amounts of heat than the machine described here. This discharged energy can be used by using the heat exchanger to add heat to the treatment room.
  • At least one wall has an outer wall element as well as an inner wall element facing the treatment chamber, the insulating medium being arranged between the outer wall element and the inner wall element. In this way, the insulating material is not visible even during operation and, above all, should not be separately protected from detergents or detergents.
  • At least one wall element i. the outer wall element or the inner wall element, made of stainless steel.
  • both the outer wall element and the inner wall element made of stainless steel.
  • the device has at least one liquid line in order to transport the liquid between the treatment space and an outside environment of the treatment space.
  • This may be, for example, a supply of the above-mentioned immersion bath, wherein, as mentioned above, the pumps for generating the flow in the immersion bath are preferably arranged outside of the housing.
  • the pumps for other units of the device may also be arranged outside the housing, for example the pumps which supply the spray nozzles arranged in the interior of the treatment space, any pumps with which waste water is removed and the like.
  • this liquid line extends through a heat-insulated wall.
  • a multiplicity of liquid lines of the type described above are guided through the said wall at a predetermined location or a predetermined area.
  • the implementation of the liquid lines takes place in each case in substantially arbitrary areas or in the area in which it is geometrically most favorable.
  • a collection of a plurality of, for example, three, four, five, or six conduits could be passed together through a corresponding opening formed in an insulating wall.
  • other lines can be routed through the wall, such as electrical control lines, which control electrical elements in the interior of the treatment room.
  • mechanical actuators can be guided through a wall of the treatment room.
  • the device has at least one viewing window, wherein also this viewing window has an insulating element.
  • the viewing window is made of insulating glass, or of a single-pane safety glass (ESG).
  • ESG single-pane safety glass
  • at least one window is formed of a composite safety glass.
  • this glass between two panes of this glass, a film and in particular a viscoelastic film.
  • this film is made of polyvinyl butyral (PVA) or ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), which were preferably connected to the respective adjacent discs by the action of pressure and temperature.
  • PVA polyvinyl butyral
  • EVA ethylene vinyl acetate
  • partially tempered glass can also be used
  • the viewing window can be opened and closed.
  • this window has a size that allows a user with an open window into the machine or in the housing.
  • the viewing window in an open state of the system also serves to release an access hatch.
  • the window itself is a double window.
  • the outer wall preferably has a plurality of wall modules, which are connected to one another. In this case, these wall modules are each constructed in the manner described above, i. with an outer wall element and an inner wall element, within which the relevant insulating body is arranged.
  • the device also has a cleaning system to clean the device itself.
  • a so-called CIP (Cleaning In Place) cleaning system can be provided, which in particular also cleans the inner walls of the device.
  • Such a cleaning system may have arranged inside the housing spray nozzles, which apply a further cleaning medium to components of the devices, such as Wandungs cleansemaschine, but also components of the transport device.
  • a plurality of peripheral walls and preferably all peripheral walls and preferably also a cover wall of the housing are thermally insulated in the manner described here. It would also be possible that the bottom wall is thermally insulated, but this is preferably omitted. It should be noted that on the one hand a larger amount of heat is lost in the upper regions of the housing, on the other hand, however, in the lower region of the housing, the described water bath or immersion bath is arranged and even the liquid itself causes a certain thermal insulation.
  • support elements or carriers are provided in the treatment space and at least one support element is arranged directly on a region of the heat-insulating wall and in particular directly welded.
  • such measures were usually dispensed with, since it was known that by welding on such supports, traces of, for example, the welding process can also occur on the outside of the wall visible to the user. Since now two-walled structures are used for the housing, it is therefore possible to arrange the support elements in the interior of the housing directly to the outer wall. In this way it is possible to dispense inside the housing on the usual in the art U-profiles and the like.
  • a valve element is arranged within the housing or the treatment chamber, and a drive device for actuating this valve element is arranged outside the housing.
  • this valve element may be a valve element which controls the completion of a spray water container, and this valve element is in turn controlled by a drive arranged outside the housing, in particular, but not exclusively, an electromotive, pneumatic or hydraulic drive.
  • This valve element can be, for example, a ball valve, in particular for a re-injection tank.
  • a Nachspritzwanne is arranged in the interior of the housing so that rinse water, which is used for rinsing the beverage containers, can be collected from this tub.
  • This ball valve can be actuated for example by a drive spindle, and this drive spindle can be passed through a heat-insulated wall of the housing.
  • Fig. 1 shows a rough schematic representation of a device 1 for cleaning crates. It is conceivable that the bottle crates (not shown) supplied to the device bottom right and above left, as indicated on the arrow, are discharged.
  • the device comprises a housing designated as a whole by 2, which surrounds the bottle crates at least during the cleaning process. Within this housing 2, a treatment chamber 4 is formed. Outside the housing 2, pump devices 32, 34 and the like can be arranged, which serve to flush the containers in the interior of the housing.
  • the feed openings for feeding the beverage crates are arranged in the device 1 and the discharge openings for discharging the beverage crates from the device 1 at different heights.
  • the device it would also be possible for the device to have two or more lanes, ie the beverage crates are conveyed through the device on two or more parallel paths.
  • the reference numerals 42 and 44 designate wall elements, which, as explained in more detail below, also have a heat-insulating function.
  • the reference numeral 22 denotes a window, which is integrated here in the wall element 42 and in the housing 2. This can also be a thermally insulating window here.
  • the windows have a dimensioning which is so large that users can also enter the interior of the housing 2 for maintenance purposes.
  • reference numeral 44 refers to a bottom wall. This bottom wall could also be formed Mowanding with an insulating medium lying between two walls. However, it would also be conceivable to make this bottom wall only single-walled, in particular, if a liquid is guided above this bottom, since in this case also this liquid has a certain insulating function.
  • the reference numeral 46 refers to drains to drain, for example, dirty water from the device 1 can. Also, a cover wall of the device is preferably formed zwewandig with intermediate insulating. In the interior of the treatment room temperature measuring device for measuring a (liquid or air) temperature could be further provided.
  • an immersion bath could still be arranged, through which the beverage crates are transported.
  • Flow generation devices could furthermore be provided which generate a flow in this immersion bath through which the beverage crates are conveyed.
  • Fig. 2 shows a further illustration of a device for cleaning crates. Here are also shown in the interior of the housing transport facilities, which is here turning conveyor 6, which transport the crates and turn it at the same time.
  • the reference numeral 16 denotes an output, via which the beverage crates can be removed again here, wherein this output can also be designed here as a heat-insulated lock.
  • a feed device 14 By means of a feed device 14, the beverage crates are brought into the interior of the housing or the treatment room where they are first transported by means of a liquid flow, for example, before they can be taken over by the right-hand transport device 6.
  • the reference numeral 8 indicates schematically a running inside the treatment chamber fluid line 8. In fluid communication with this line nozzles may be provided which act on the beverage crates with a liquid and in particular a rinsing liquid. These lines can, as shown below, be passed through a wall of the housing.
  • Fig. 3a shows a wall element 142 according to the prior art. It can be seen that this wall element is single-layered. Although it was possible in the prior art, for example, to attach a support 132 to this wall element, the again in the interior of the treatment room 4 carries more elements. However, such a fastening of a carrier to the wall element 142 often went hand in hand with deformations of the outer surface 142a, since, for example, welding operations on the inner wall are also visible on the outer side 142a.
  • Fig. 3b shows an illustration of a wall element according to the invention 42. This has an outer side 42a and an inner side 42b. Between these two sides, an insulating medium 42c is introduced. These may be, for example, air, PU foam, rock wool, Styrodur and the like. Advantageously, it is a material which has a lower coefficient of thermal conduction than the material of the walls, which is, for example, aluminum.
  • the insulating medium has a physical density which is less than 2.7 g / cm 3 , preferably less than 2.0 g / cm 3 , preferably less than 1.5 g / cm 3 .
