Definitions
- the invention relates to a method according to the preamble of claim 1 for rinsing containers with a purge gas.
- Methods for filling, even pressure filling of containers are known in different designs. It is also known in this case to evacuate the respective container or its interior before filling and then to rinse with a purge gas formed by an inert gas (eg CO2 gas or serine air) to existing ambient air or another gas and / or vapor Remove medium from the container interior.
- a purge gas formed by an inert gas (eg CO2 gas or serine air) to existing ambient air or another gas and / or vapor Remove medium from the container interior.
- the object of the invention is to provide a method which allows a particularly effective rinsing of the respective container interior with low consumption of purge gas. To solve this problem, a method according to claim 1 is formed.
- a special feature of the invention is that when purging in a first process step, the container interior is evacuated by connecting to a vacuum source and then takes place in a second process step, the actual rinsing of the container by blowing the purge gas, wherein the container interior is further connected to the vacuum source, so that the blowing of the purge gas takes place in a vacuum or high vacuum in the container interior.
- the evacuation of the container in the first step of rinsing is carried out, for example, so that in the container, a pressure of about 0.05 - 0.4 bar, preferably a pressure of about 0.05 to 0.25 bar sets, i. a negative pressure of about 0.6 bar - 0.95 bar, preferably 0.75 to 0.95 bar relative to the ambient pressure.
- the introduction or injection of the purge gas is then carried out with such a pressure and / or with such a volume flow, that in this case at most a small pressure increase in
- Container interior results, i. a pressure increase of, for example, at most 0.1 bar to 0.2 bar.
- the advantage of the method according to the invention consists inter alia in an effective rinsing of the bottle interior and in a significant reduction of the Consumption of purge gas.
- the above-described method is compared with rinsing processes that are carried out under atmospheric or ambient pressure or at a pressure above atmospheric or ambient pressure, with up to 10 times lower purge gas or Spülgasmenge.
- Containers are for the purposes of the present invention, in particular those made of glass, and glass bottles or similar stable, made of metal or plastic containers such as kegs, party kegs, reusable plastic bottles, etc. It is essential that the used in the inventive method
- Container have sufficient stability, so that they are not deformed during evacuation to an undesirable extent or even destroyed.
- container In sealing position with the treatment head or filling element befindaji container means in the context of the invention that the respective container in the manner known to those skilled with its container mouth tightly pressed against the treatment head or to the filling element or to a local seal.
- Fig. 1 in a simplified representation and partly in section a filling element of a filling machine revolving type, together with a filling element in
- Fig. 2 in an enlarged partial view and in section the bottom of the
- FIG. 3 very schematically shows a cross section through the filling element in the region of a discharge opening and of a tubular valve tappet and return gas pipe;
- Fig. 4 in a simplified representation and partly in section, a filling element of a filling machine of rotating design, together with a sealing element arranged on the filling element container in the form of a bottle, in a further embodiment of the invention;
- FIG. 5 shows a controllable gas valve for use with a filling element of FIGS. 1 and / or 4.
- filling element is together with a plurality of similar filling elements on the circumference of a vertical
- Machine axis MA circumferentially driven rotor 2 is provided and forms together with a container carrier 3 a filling for filling, for example, pressure filling of containers 4 in the form of bottles 4. These are made of glass, metal or plastic with sufficient strength.
- a common Gregutkessel 5 is provided in the form of a ring boiler for all filling elements 1 of the filling system or filling machine, during the
- Filling operation is partially filled with the liquid contents, to form a lower liquid space 5.1 and an upper gas space 5.2, which is filled with an inert gas (for example, C02 gas or nitrogen) under filling pressure.
- an inert gas for example, C02 gas or nitrogen
- Liquid space 5.1 is connected to a formed in the housing 6 of the filling element 1 liquid channel 7, which at the bottom of the filling element a vertical Standelementachse FA concentrically enclosing annular
- Dispensing opening 8 forms.
- a liquid valve 9 is further provided, which is formed on a valve stem 10 formed valve body 1 1 controlled by an actuator axially movable, namely for opening and Closing of the liquid valve 9.
- the valve stem 10 is formed by a piece of pipe which is arranged coaxially with the Greelementachse FA at its upper and at its lower, via the discharge opening 8 down
- protruding end is open and forms a first gas channel 12, which opens at the upper end of the valve stem 10 in a housing 6 formed in the first gas chamber 13.
- Return gas tube 14 open forms.
- the gas channel 15 opens at the upper end of the return gas pipe 14 in a second formed in the housing 6 gas space 6.
- the gas chambers 13 and 16 are part of different, the control valves 17.1 - 17.4 of the filling element 1 contained gas paths through which the gas channels 12 and 15 controlled by the Gas chamber 5.2 and can be connected to two annular channels 18 and 19, which are provided for all filling elements 1 of the filling machine or the filling system together.
- the annular channel 8 serves, for example, to relieve the filled bottles 2 at the end of the respective filling process.
- the annular channel 19 is acted upon during the filling operation with a vacuum or negative pressure, for example at a pressure of 0.05 bar - 0.25 bar or deviating therefrom.
- the gas chamber 5.2 is charged during filling with the inert gas under pressure.
- 20 is a Zentriertulpe shown sealed by a seal against the underside of the housing 6 and abuts against the respective bottle 4 pressed against the edge of its bottle opening in sealing position, so that the
- Outlet opening 8 and the lower opening of the first gas channel 12 open into the upper region of the bottle interior.
- the return gas pipe 14 projects beyond the lower end of the valve tappet 10 into the interior of the bottle 4.
- the peculiarity of the filling element or of the method carried out with this filling element consists in the special type and design of the flushing of the interior of the respective bottle 4 arranged in the sealing position on the filling element 1 for displacing in the bottle entrained ambient air from the interior of the bottle.
- the subsequent process steps of the filling process such as
- Consumption of purge gas or inert gas includes at least two steps. In a first process step is closed when
- the control valve 17.1 is then opened while the control valve 17.3 is still open, so that inert gas from the gas chamber 5.2 via the open control valve 17.1 and via a throttle 21 (fine throttle) in the gas chamber 16 and from this via the gas channel 15 centrally, ie in the direction of
- the supply of purge gas in the second step can be timed and without interruptions.
- Ring channel 19 is always open, as the flushing of the interior of the bottle is particularly intense. However, this is not mandatory.
- FIG. 4 shows, as a further embodiment, a filling element 1 a, which differs from the filling element 1 only in that the control valve 17.1 is not connected on the input side to the gas chamber 5.2, but to a source 22 which supplies the flushing gas at least with a certain overpressure provides. Due to the separate source 22, the pressure of the purge gas can be selected independently of the filling pressure, in such a way that the desired low purge pressure is easily achieved.
- inert gas CO2 gas or nitrogen it is expedient to regulate the purge pressure in the interior of the bottle 4 via a pressure control to the desired pressure level and this with a arranged in the respective filling element, for example in the gas chamber 16 pressure sensor to monitor and / or control, as indicated in Fig. 1 and 4 with 23.
- the regulation or control of the scavenging pressure then takes place, for example, by a control valve which is arranged in the corresponding gas path for the purge gas and which has at least two operating states, namely an operating state of low throttling and an operating state of higher throttling, but preferably also a third blocking state ,
- control valve 24 is shown very schematically in FIG.
- the control valve 24 has a valve body 25 with a throttle-like narrowing flow channel 26 and an axially movable valve member 27, which releases the flow channel 26 depending on its position or additionally narrows or completely closes.
- the invention has been described above by means of exemplary embodiments. It is understood that numerous changes and modifications are possible without thereby departing from the inventive concept underlying the invention. It has been assumed above that the rinsing of the bottles 2 or other containers takes place in a rinsing phase of a filling process with the filling elements 1 or 1a. In principle, the rinsing of the containers can also be effected via other treatment heads which are not filling elements, for example in a machine or component of a system preceding a filling machine.
