Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for filling a container and in particular a piston filler, which is preferably provided for use in a rotary foodstuff filling plant.
- Piston fillers are also used to fill viscous fillers which have solids such as fruit pieces, pieces of chocolate, cereals or other pieces that are bottled in conjunction with food.
- piston fillers for filling viscous filling products has the advantage that the viscous filling products, which otherwise or only very slowly flow out, can be dispensed into the containers to be filled at a predetermined speed in time with the respective filling line. Furthermore, a precisely metered filling can be achieved via the use of the metering piston of the piston filler, so that the filling product can be entered into the container to be filled with the intended filling volume, the intended filling weight or the intended filling level.
- Piston fillers are known in different configurations. From the DE 24 53 312 A1 For example, a rotary piston filler is known in which the control of the filling product flow from a filling product reservoir into the metering cylinder is controlled via a plunger provided with a corresponding valve opening. The plunger serves here as well as a valve for controlling the flow of product as well as a dispensing tappet to expel filling product residues from the discharge channel.
- a piston filler in which a rotary valve arranged below the filling product reservoir controls the filling product flow between the filling product reservoir, the metering cylinder and the discharge channel.
- the rotary valve has a horizontally arranged axis of rotation.
- Viscofill V KRONES AG a piston filler, which uses a rotary valve having a vertically arranged axis of rotation for controlling the Guillumeric Guillumeric Guillumeric Guillumeric Guillumeric Guillumeric Guillumeric Guillumeric Guillumeric Guillumeric Guillumeric Guillumeric Guillumeric Guillumeric Guillumeric Guillumeric Guillumeric Guillumeric Guillumeric Materials
- Viscofill S KRONES AG a piston filler, wherein in the bottom of the product container a pneumatically driven seat valve for controlling the Art etcstromes from the Art whservoir is provided in the metering and below the metering another seat valve is provided by which can take place through a discharge of the filling product in the container to be filled.
- the cleaning is complex because the respective rotary valve must be completely removed for each cleaning process from its valve seat, such as by pulling out the rotary valve from a corresponding rotary valve housing. Furthermore, the rotary valves are rotated twice per dosing about 180 °, so that here depending on the filled product filling an increased wear can be present.
- the passage openings to the respective metering cylinders in the frame of the product hopper Therefore, the product can be sucked into the metering cylinder only to a maximum of the upper edge of the passage openings, so that it may be necessary to discard the filling product located in the bottom area of the respective filling product reservoir at the end of the filling process.
- the free passage diameter for the filling product to be metered in is determined by the annular gaps in the valves, so that the maximum particle diameter is limited. Furthermore, by the provision of the poppet valve on Guehrauslauf during filling of filling products with pieces a defined separation of Bits can not be reached. Rather, bits in the seat of the valve between the valve body and the valve seat can be pinched or crushed, which may suffer from the quality of the filling product and dripping or uncontrolled falling of the crushed piece residue may occur.
- the US 2,563,863 A describes a piston filler according to the preamble of claim 1 with a reservoir for the liquid to be filled and a communicating via an inlet valve with the reservoir measuring cylinder, wherein the inlet valve is arranged directly above the measuring cylinder.
- Other piston fillers are in the FR 2 925 022 A1 and US 5,230,373 A described.
- an apparatus for filling a container with a filling product preferably for filling with a viscous and particle-containing filling product, proposed, comprising a Greetrichloric acid, a metering cylinder with a slidably received therein metering piston for metering the filling product, and a Ausschubkanal with an outlet end for discharging the filling product into the container to be filled, wherein in the Ausschubkanal a Ausstatictkanal for pushing out a product residue at the end of the filling is arranged, and the 2000.reservoir, the metering cylinder and the Ausschubkanal communicate with each other via a common product channel. Furthermore, a valve for opening and closing the connection between filling product reservoir and product channel is arranged in the bottom of the filling product reservoir. According to the invention, the discharge channel is in communication with the metering cylinder via a siphon-like section of the product channel.
- the device can be cleaned in a simple manner, since the complex process of disassembling the rotary valves is no longer incurred. Rather, the seat valve arranged in the bottom of the filling product reservoir can be rinsed in a conventional manner by means of cleaning media, without the disassembly of the device being required here. Unlike a rotary valve, an open seat valve, namely with all its surfaces in contact with the product, can be completely flowed around by the cleaning medium without the need for disassembling the device.
- the Ausschubkanal and the Ausschubst Schemeel can also be easily flushed in a known manner, without this would require a complex disassembly.
- the Ausschield Fightingel can be easily pulled out of the Ausschubkanal, so that all product-contacting surfaces can be rinsed here without the entire device must be removed in a complex manner.
- the wear behavior of the device is improved because a wear-resistant seat valve can be used instead of the wear-prone rotary valve.
- the fact that the valve is arranged in the bottom of the Art.reservoirs, ensures that all filling product, which is located in Rail.reservoir, can leak through the valve in the bottom of Med.reservoirs and can be dosed into the container.
- the remaining Art.ktrest is only due to the adhesion of the filling due to the high viscosity in the filling product reservoir, but not by a removal position of the filling product such that inevitably always a Artaid remains in the Art.
- the valve is preferably a seat valve and / or a poppet valve, and the valve preferably has a valve disk which can be lowered in a sealing manner in a valve seat arranged in an opening in the bottom of the filling product reservoir. In this way, a reliable design of the valve can be achieved, which is still easy to clean.
- valve Individual control of the valve can be achieved by the valve being individually controlled by a mechanical, pneumatic, electropneumatic, electromotive or electromagnetic drive.
- the discharge channel is in communication with the metering cylinder via a siphon-like section of the product channel, an uncontrolled leakage of the filling product can be avoided.
- the siphon-like section tapers from its end facing the metering cylinder to its end facing the discharge channel, and is particularly preferably designed to taper continuously.
- a lower blocking edge of the siphon-like portion of the product channel is preferably arranged at a level below the level defined by the bottom dead center of the metering piston.
- the opening in the bottom of the filling product reservoir is preferably at a higher level than the level formed by the metering piston at its bottom dead center. In this way, air which accumulates in the dosing cylinder or in the product channel can flow back into the filling product reservoir via an open valve in the bottom of the filling product reservoir. In this way, it is ensured that the common product channel and the dosing cylinder are vented accordingly at each dosing, so that the total amount of air that accumulates in the system is kept low or the accumulation can even be avoided.
- a discharge opening which can be closed by means of a shut-off. It can thus be achieved that, when the device is being cleaned, a complete leakage of the cleaning medium is also achieved from the common product channel, in particular a common product channel, which has a siphon-like design, so that the common product channel as well as the discharge channel and the metering cylinder are completely separated from one another the cleaning medium can be emptied.
- the opening with the obturator forms at least for the respective individual device the lowest point, so that the cleaning medium can leak completely.
- a control of the drive can be set up so that the Ausschubst Congressel remains in the presence of a container gap in the lowered position.
- a shear edge is formed between the siphon-like portion of the product channel and the Ausschubkanal, which cooperates with the Ausschubst Schemeel.
- a shearing edge By means of the shearing edge, a defined shearing off of filling product constituents, in particular filling product particles, can be achieved during lowering of the ejection tappet so that a clean and squeeze-free filling result is achieved.
- valve when the device is being cleaned, the valve is controlled in the open position and the ejector plunger is pulled out of the ejection channel and the metering piston is pulled out of the metering cylinder.
- the valve is controlled in the open position and the ejector plunger is pulled out of the ejection channel and the metering piston is pulled out of the metering cylinder.
- FIG. 1 shows a device 100 for filling a schematically indicated container 110 with a viscous filling product, in particular a high-viscosity filling product, which is mixed with particles or pieces, for example, a yogurt with whole cherries.
- the viscous filling product is provided for filling in a filling product reservoir 1, which has side walls 10 and a bottom 12.
- the filling product reservoir 1 may, for example, be a product vessel of a rotary filler in a filling installation, with a plurality of apparatuses 100 typically being arranged as filling members on the periphery of the filling product reservoir 1 and circulating with it in production operation.
- an opening 14 is provided, through which the filling product can flow into a product channel 2.
- the opening 14 can be closed by a valve 3.
- the valve 3 has a valve disk 30 and a valve seat 32 revolving around the opening 14 in the bottom 12 of the filling product reservoir 1.
- the valve disk 30 may be sealingly lowered into the valve seat 32 or lifted out of the valve seat 32 to then correspondingly open the opening 14 in the bottom 12 of the Student etcreservoirs 1 and to allow a flow of the filling product from the Bath etcreservoir 1 in the product channel 2.
- the use of the poppet valve 3 is less susceptible to wear than known from the prior art rotary valves, so that the device 100 is formed wear.
- the mechanical effort required to build the device 100 is much less than in the prior art devices, so that on the one hand the costs and the mass moved can be reduced, and on the other hand the operational safety can be improved.
- valve 3 in the bottom 12 of the filling product reservoir 1 makes it possible for the filling product to be completely removed from the filling product reservoir 1.
- valve disk 30 is connected via a valve tappet 34 to a valve drive 36, wherein the valve drive 36 may be a mechanical, pneumatic, electropneumatic, electromotive or electromagnetic drive, which allows reliable opening and closing of the valve 3 and at the same time an individual control of each valve 3 allows for example in a rotary filler.
- valve drive 36 may be a mechanical, pneumatic, electropneumatic, electromotive or electromagnetic drive, which allows reliable opening and closing of the valve 3 and at the same time an individual control of each valve 3 allows for example in a rotary filler.
- the product channel 2 which extends from the opening 14 of the filling product reservoir 1 which can be closed by means of the valve 3, communicates with a metering cylinder 4, in which a metering piston 40 is arranged.
- the metering piston 40 can be moved up and down within the metering cylinder 4 and accordingly provide a volume change of the volume received in the metering cylinder 4.
- a Ausschubkanal 5 which communicates via a siphon-like portion 20 of the product channel 2 with the metering cylinder 4.
- the Ausschubkanal 5 is closed by a lowered therein Ausschubst Congressel 50, which is also referred to as a plunger.
- the Austechst Congressel 50 is thereby advanced to the outlet end 52 of Ausschubkanals 5 and filled according to the Ausschubkanal 5 in this operating condition completely.
- the siphon-like portion 20 of the product channel 2 is connected to the Ausschubkanal 5 via a connection opening 22, which allows the filling product, with removed Ausschubst Schemeel 50 through the Ausschubkanal 5 to reach the outlet end 52, and then to enter the container to be filled 110.
- This operating state is also in FIG. 2 shown.
- the opening 14 in the bottom 12 of the Medehrreservoirs 1 is disposed at a higher level h 1 , as the lower edge of the metering cylinder 4, which also represents a lower piston dead center of the metering piston 40 at the same time.
- air which is possibly taken up in the metering cylinder 4 or accumulates in it, is expelled from the metering cylinder 4 by the metering piston 40 during the ejection, ie the downward movement of the metering piston 40 within the metering cylinder 4.
- the valve 3 Since the ejection of the filling product, the valve 3 is usually closed, the air ejected from the metering 4 then accumulates under the closed valve 3.
- the air can then be pushed back through the valve 3 into the filling product reservoir 1. Accordingly, an accumulation of air in the metering cylinder 4 can be reduced or prevented.
- the siphon-like portion 20 of the product channel 2 has a lower blocking edge 24, which has a level h 3 , which lies below the lowest Kolbentotrioss the metering piston 40, which is marked with the level h 2 .
- a discharge opening 28 is provided, which is closed by means of a corresponding blocking member in the production operation.
- the discharge opening 28 is preferably provided at the lowest position of the product channel 2 and makes it possible, after completion of a production cycle to discharge still in the product channel 2 located filling product and / or completely discharge a cleaning medium which has been used to clean the device 100.
- a product change or a production standstill each with subsequent cleaning without the risk of carryover of the cleaning medium used in each case or the previous filling product can be performed and the device 100 can be sorted from the first container of the subsequent product cycle sorted.
- the movement of the Austechstnizels 50 is controlled in the embodiment shown via a guide rail 56 to which a corresponding role of the Ausversetnachels 50 is guided.
- the Austechst Congressel 50 may also be equipped with any other drives, in particular with an individual pneumatic, hydraulic, electrical, magnetic or other type of drive, which can be individually controlled.
- valve 3 in the form of a poppet valve with valve disk 30 in combination with a corresponding expression of the valve seat 32 and the configuration of the Gundreservoirs 1 in the region of its bottom 2 in the form of a funnel can be achieved that the annular gap which is formed between the valve disk 30 and the valve seat 32, is significantly greater than that which is provided by the poppet valves used in the prior art, which use smaller valve body. In this way it can be ensured that also filling products with larger particles, in particular larger elastic particles such as cherries, can easily pass through the annular gap and can accordingly enter through the opening 14 in the bottom 12 of the filling product reservoir 1 into the product channel 2.
- the product channel 2 has, in the region of the opening 14 in the bottom 12 of the filling product reservoir 1, a larger cross-section q 1 than in the region of the connection opening 22 in which a cross-section q 2 is provided.
- the cross-sectional reduction from the opening 14 to the connection opening 22 is preferably substantially linear.
- the filling product channel 2 is delimited in the region of the metering cylinder 4 at the top by the metering piston 40, which has been lowered completely in its bottom dead center.
- At least the siphon-like portion 20 of the product channel 2 has from its beginning to a steadily decreasing cross-section towards the connection opening 22, so that the filling product is not excessively jammed or squeezed in this area and accordingly a gentle Hemmung can be achieved.
- FIG. 2 a second operating state of the device 100 is shown, in which the valve 3 is closed and, accordingly, the connection between the filling product reservoir 1 and the product channel 2 is closed.
- the metering piston 40 is in the downward movement, so the fill product then received in the metering cylinder 4 flows via the product channel 2 and in particular the siphon-like section 20 at the connection opening 22 into the discharge channel 5 and then enters the schematically indicated container 110 to be filled through the outlet end 52.
- the Austechstumbleel 50 is in an extended upward position so that it is substantially flush with the upper edge of the connection opening 22. The filling product accordingly flows unhindered through the discharge channel 5 into the container 110 to be filled.
- the Ausschubkanal 5 is again controlled in the lowered position, as in FIG. 1 is shown, wherein the filling product, which is still in Ausschubkanal 5 at this time, is pushed out through the outlet end 52. Accordingly, the Ausschubkanal 5 is completely emptied of the filling product, so that a defined filling of the container to be filled 110 is achieved.
- particles or particles such as fruit pieces, whole fruits, chocolate, muesli or other solids
- a shearing off of the respective particles located in this area will take place, that the particles are not crushed, but have a clean cut edge. This is particularly important when filling filling products with larger pieces of fruit or whole elastic fruits, such as cherries, because the particles present in the filling product are then not crushed, but only a few clean cut particles are present next to the whole particles.
- connection opening 22 is further closed, so that in the next cycle, the valve 3 can be opened and by raising the metering piston 40 of the metering cylinder 4 can be filled in turn with filling product from the Gundreservoir.
- This operating state is, for example, in FIG. 1 shown.
- the Austechsticideel 50 can be used as overload protection or overload indicator when the outlet end 52 is blocked, for example by blocked filling product or other foreign matter, so that the Ausret Congressel 50 would have to be lowered with too high a force.
- an overload by the blocking of the outlet end 52 and the mouth of Ausschubkanals 5 by, for example, a reaching into Ausschubkanal foreign bodies when exceeding a certain counterforce in the drive of Ausschield Terminels 50 no further movement longer possible, so that the possible mechanical damage of the device 100 in Limits is kept or can be completely avoided.
- an overload safety device can be easily integrated, which reports a blockage of the pushrod 50 via an electrosensitive feedback. Furthermore, a targeted control or selective control can be made in this way, which makes it possible to keep the Ausschubst Schemeel 50 in the closed position in the presence of a container gap to prevent the expulsion of filling product in a position in which there is no container.
- FIG. 3 the device 100 is shown during a cleaning process.
- the valve 3 is fully opened, such that a cleaning medium from the filling product reservoir 1 can flow through the annular gap of the valve 3 into the product channel 2.
- the metering piston 40 is completely lifted out of the metering cylinder 4, so that here too a complete cleaning of both the inner surfaces of the metering cylinder 4 and the outer surfaces of the metering piston 40 can be carried out in a simple manner by applying a cleaning medium.
- the discharge opening 28 and in particular the shut-off device at the discharge opening 28 are opened to allow a drainage of the cleaning medium. Since the discharge opening 28 is arranged at the lowest point in the product channel 2, can also be achieved accordingly that residual filling product as well as all cleaning medium can flow reliably and accordingly the cleaning can be carried out completely. Furthermore, it can be avoided that cleaning medium or rinsing water remain in the product channel 2, which could be problematic in a subsequent startup of the device 100 and could lead to carryover of the corresponding media.
