Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method according to the preamble of claim 1 and to a filling system according to the preamble of claim 10.
  • a generic method and filling system are known from EP 0 406 092 A1 known.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a method by which at least two containers, but preferably more than two containers, for example, four containers with the required filling accuracy can be filled simultaneously with only a single Greinsky-effector with a liquid product, namely taking into account a target -Füllkurve.
  • a method according to claim 1 is formed.
  • a filling system is the subject of patent claim 10.
  • a special feature of the method according to the invention is that with only a single Greetrachinsky the simultaneous or temporally parallel filling of at least two containers, preferably more than two containers via filling heads, each of which is associated with each container. Since absolutely the same conditions can not be achieved in practice with regard to the product volume flow which flows to the individual containers or the filling heads during the filling phase, the invention provides that the control of a total product volume flow and thus of the product volume flows to the filling heads is generally general is performed by the single Golfgutstromregler, each of a container inflowing Golfgutvolumenstrom but monitored with a stand-alone flow meter and the measurement result of these flow meters, the control of Gregutvolumenstromreglers is corrected (correction control).
  • the general control of the Gregutvolumenstromreglers takes place according to a desired filling curve, which is either a standardized filling curve or a filling material and / or container-specific filling curve.
  • the inventive method results in a considerable structural and control engineering simplification of the filling system, by reducing the number of required functional elements.
  • only a single Greinsky-Natta and, for example, only a single product pump for the provision of the contents are required, despite the ability to fill at least two containers, but preferably more than two containers with the required filling accuracy at the same time.
  • the containers are preferably those with a container or filling volume in the range between three and ten liters.
  • the correction control takes place, for example, by shifting the time of the transition between individual partial phases. In any case, however, due to the measured values of the flow meter, a final termination of the filling or the filling phase for each container takes place when the required total filling quantity has reached it.
  • the method is designed, for example, such that a temporal displacement of the transition between at least two partial phases of the desired filling curve takes place by the control computer on the basis of the measured values fed to it by the flow meters, for example between the filling phase and the reduced product volume flow (Q1).
  • pressure filling is to be understood as meaning a filling process in which the container to be filled in each case rests in a sealing position against the filling element and, as a rule, before the actual filling phase, i. before opening the liquid valve, is biased by at least one controlled gas path formed in the filler element in a tempering phase with a pressurized gas (e.g. inert gas or CO2 gas, for example). This is then displaced during filling of the, the container inflowing contents increasingly as return gas from the container interior, and also via at least one controlled, formed in the filling element gas path in a return gas channel.
  • a pressurized gas e.g. inert gas or CO2 gas, for example
  • the preadjustment phase may be preceded by further treatment phases, for example evacuation and / or purging of the container interior with an inert gas, e.g. CO2 gas, etc., also via the gas paths formed in the filling element.
  • an inert gas e.g. CO2 gas, etc.
