Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for filling a bottle in a filling line with a product, preferably with a detergent or cleaning agent, wherein in a step of filling the product is filled through a bottleneck into the bottle and in a subsequent step of closing a closure the bottleneck is set.
- the consumer desires for the detergent a sufficiently large diameter for the bottleneck. This results in comparatively high manufacturing tolerances. Gaps between the bottleneck and the closure are difficult to avoid, through which the liquid detergent can escape to the outside. In addition, due to the special components of the detergent such as surfactants, the surface tension of the detergent is low, so that even the smallest column to
- the detergent bottle comes from the bottling line to the trade through the traditional distribution channels, it can usually be ensured that the detergent bottle remains in its upright position during transport and storage, so that a non-tight connection of the bottle neck and closure has no negative consequences .
- the detergent bottle may be lying on its side in the package or even upside down so that leaks between the bottle neck and closure may cause the detergent to run out before the package reaches the consumer.
- the soaked package and then no longer completely filled detergent bottle are unacceptable for the consumer, so that is to be expected with a complaint. Sales through e-commerce will continue to gain in importance, so there is a need for well-sealed detergent bottles.
- the invention is therefore based on the object, a method for filling a bottle in a filling line with a product, in particular for filling with a washing or
- Detergent to provide which can be carried out inexpensively and leads to a good seal the connection between the closure and bottleneck.
- a curable sealant in liquid or flowable form is applied to the bottleneck between the filling and closing, which is not completely cured when closing. If, after application of the sealant, the closure is placed on the neck of the bottle, the closure closes
- Sealant a possible passage between the bottleneck and closure, through which otherwise the product could occur with attached closure to the outside.
- the sealant can stick together a surface of the bottle neck and a corresponding mating surface of the closure with each other, this adhesive bond must be solved when opening the bottle for the first time. If it is an adhesive sealant, the closure is done within the working window of the adhesive.
- the sealant is a hot melt adhesive, which by appropriate
- the sealant may be a plastic and / or elastic material.
- the sealant may also be a
- the sealant is polyurethane adhesives or silicones.
- the bottleneck may have an external thread onto which a closure with a
- Internal thread is screwed. It can the closure or the bottle in order
- the closing step comprises a screwing movement.
- the sealant can be applied to an end face of the bottle neck.
- the end face may be annular and an upper edge of the
- the sealant can be applied to a lateral surface of the bottle neck.
- the sealant can be applied to the external thread. This can be a
- Winding, several or all turns of the external thread are coated with the sealant. An order of the sealant between the turns is also possible.
- the sealant is applied with an applicator roll.
- the applicator roll can be engaged with an anilox roller through which the applicator roll is wetted or moistened with the sealant.
- a hot melt adhesive is used as a sealant, it is preferably a tempered application roller, ie a roller which is kept at a temperature via a heat input.
- the temperature of the applicator roll may be greater than 130 or even 150 ° C.
- the sealant can be sprayed onto the bottleneck in the form of a bead.
- the application in the form of a bead can be combined with the application by means of applicator roll. If a hot melt adhesive is used for spraying, a corresponding temperature control is necessary here as well. This can, for example, by a heated
- Hot melt cartridge and / or a heated spray nozzle done.
- a period of time between the end of filling and the beginning of sealing may be less than 5 or 2 seconds. This means that in the embodiment in which the application of the sealant begins only after filling, remain for application less than 5 or 2 seconds.
- a hot melt adhesive is a cooling and complete curing of the hot melt adhesive after placing the closure on the
- Bottleneck or after screwing the closure on the bottleneck
- the application weight of the sealant per bottle is preferably less than 0.5 g. In one embodiment of the invention, the application weight is 0, 1 g and is thus less than 0.2 g.
- the bottle can have a volume of 0.5 to 5 liters.
- Figure 1 schematically shows individual process steps in a filling line for filling a
- FIG. 1 schematically shows three process steps connected in series when filling a bottle in a filling line with a product, which may for example be a detergent.
- a product which may for example be a detergent.
- the bottle is filled with the detergent.
- the process step 10 of the filling should be considered complete when the bottle is completely in one
- Embodiment or filled with at least 80% of the desired amount of detergent is followed by a method step 20, in which a sealant is applied to a bottleneck.
- Figure 2 shows an embodiment of the bottleneck, which is designated there with 2.
- the method step 20 is followed by a method step 30 of
- a closure is placed on the neck of the bottle. Placing the closure on the neck of the bottle may involve several substeps, such as screwing the closure onto the neck of the bottle. In the filling line, all process steps 10, 20 and 30 are carried out fully automatically.
- Figure 2 shows a longitudinal section of the upper part of a known bottle or
- the bottle 1 has the said bottle neck 2, which defines an opening 3 of the bottle 1.
- the bottleneck 2 is formed substantially rotationally symmetrical to a central axis 4.
- On a lateral surface 5 of the bottle neck 2 is a
- the sealant can be applied to different parts of the bottle neck.
- the sealant can be applied to an annular end face 7 of the bottle neck.
- an applicator roll can be used, which completely covers the end face 7.
- a full-surface wetting of the end face 7 can be achieved.
- the sealant can be applied to the lateral surface 5, for example, to the individual turns of the external thread 6 or to the areas between the turns of the external thread 6.
- the amount of the sealing compound to be applied is kept small, preferably in the range of 0.05 to 0.15 g.
- An inner diameter Di of the bottle neck 2 may be 10 to 100 mm.
- a preferred range for the inner diameter Di ranges from 20 to 60 mm.
- a core diameter DK may be 2 to 10 mm (preferably 3 to 8 mm) larger than the inner diameter Di.
- a thread diameter DG can be 4 to 12 mm (preferably 5 to 10 mm) mm greater than the inner diameter Di.
- the inner diameter Di 48.5 mm, the core diameter DK 51, 7 mm, the thread diameter DG 53.5 mm and the height of the bottle neck 13.5 mm.
