Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for hot filling of a container.
- hot filling means a process of filling of containers with a fluid product maintained at a temperature higher than room temperature, for example around 75°-100°C.
- this process can be used in the field of bottling "sensitive" food products, i.e. products that are particularly susceptible to bacteriological contamination and oxidation, such as, for example, isotonic drinks, juices, nectars, soft drinks, teas, milk-based drinks, coffee-based drinks, etc. for which it becomes fundamental to avoid, during all phases of packaging, possible microbiological contaminations.
- "sensitive" food products i.e. products that are particularly susceptible to bacteriological contamination and oxidation, such as, for example, isotonic drinks, juices, nectars, soft drinks, teas, milk-based drinks, coffee-based drinks, etc. for which it becomes fundamental to avoid, during all phases of packaging, possible microbiological contaminations.
- Maintaining the product and components of the filling apparatus at high temperatures throughout the entire process makes it possible to obtain an adequate shelf life, avoiding the need to provide for specific steps of sterilising the containers and the closures thereof.
- any interruptions in the process due, for example, to glitches upstream or downstream, cause undesirable dwells of the product to be dispensed, with a consequent cooling of the latter.
- the components of the apparatus also tend to cool, with a consequent risk of contamination of the final product.
- This problem is sometimes solved by providing a suitable recirculation path, into which the product is diverted if dispensing to the container is suddenly interrupted.
- the technical task at the basis of the present invention is to propose a device for hot filling of a container which overcomes the aforementioned drawbacks of the prior art.
- the number 1 indicates a device for hot filling of a container 100, comprising:
- the sanitisation means 7 is movable at least between:
- the first tank 5 can contain a food fluid or a sanitisation fluid, depending on the status of the filling device 1.
- the sanitisation means 7 comprise a first dummy bottle recess 71 and a second dummy bottle recess 72 in fluid communication with each other.
- the first recess 71 and the second recess 72 have a substantially circular cross section.
- the further fluid path 13, 14 is preferably made up of two sections:
- the third fluid path 13 is in fluid communication with the recesses 71, 72.
- the sanitisation means 7 comprises a single dummy bottle recess dimensioned so as to extend from beneath the dispensing nozzle 2 to below the outlet of the second fluid path 12 when the sanitisation means 7 takes on the first position.
- the single dummy bottle recess has a substantially ellipsoid cross section.
- the third fluid path 13 originates from the dummy bottle recess.
- the device for hot filling 1 can be configured in at least three operating statuses, namely:
- the first tank 5 contains a food fluid (e.g. a beverage) and the first valve 3 is open so as to allow the food fluid coming from the first tank 5 to arrive at the dispensing nozzle 2 (via the first fluid path 11).
- a container 100 to be filled Positioned under the dispensing nozzle 2 there is a container 100 to be filled, which receives, precisely, the food fluid.
- the container 100 can be in contact with the dispensing nozzle 2 or at a distance from the latter.
- the sanitisation means 7 are in the second position, i.e. below the outlet of the second fluid path 12. Given that in the filling status the second valve 4 is closed, the food fluid does not arrive in the second fluid path 12 (nor, therefore, at the sanitisation means 7).
- the first tank 5 contains a sanitisation fluid.
- the first valve 3 is open so as to allow the sanitisation fluid coming from the first tank 5 to arrive at the dispensing nozzle 2 (via the first fluid path 11).
- the second valve 4 is open as well, so that the sanitisation fluid also reaches the second fluid path 12.
- the sanitisation means 7 is in the first position, i.e. both beneath the dispensing nozzle 2 and below the outlet of the second fluid path 12. Therefore, the sanitisation means 7 receives the sanitisation fluid coming both from the first fluid path 11 and the second fluid path 12.
- the third fluid path 13 receives the sanitisation fluid from the two recesses 71, 72 (in fluid communication with each other).
- first recess 71 is below the dispensing nozzle 2
- second recess 72 is below the outlet of the second fluid path 12.
- the sanitisation fluid thus arrives at the second tank 6. In this manner one obtains a complete sanitisation of the first fluid path 11, the second fluid path 12, the two recesses 71, 72, the third fluid path 13 and the second tank 6.
- the third fluid path 13 receives the sanitisation fluid from the sole recess.
- the sanitisation fluid thus arrives at the second tank 6. In this manner one obtains a complete sanitisation of the first fluid path 11, the second fluid path 12, the sole recess, the third fluid path 13 and the second tank 6.
- the first tank 5 contains the food fluid.
- the first valve 3 is closed; therefore, the food fluid does not arrive at the dispensing nozzle 2.
- the second valve 4 by contrast, is open, so the food fluid passes into the second fluid path 12 and flows into the sanitisation means 7, which is in the second position.
- the third fluid path 13 receives the food fluid from the two recesses 71, 72 (in fluid communication with each other). The food fluid then arrives at the second tank 6.
- the fourth fluid path 14 comprises a pump 8.
- the pump 8 In the recirculation status, the pump 8 is running in order to convey the food fluid from the second tank 6 to the first tank 5. In this manner, the food fluid circulates along a closed path that goes from the first tank 5 to the first fluid path 11 to the second fluid path 12 to the sanitisation means 7 to the third fluid path 13 to the second tank 6 to the fourth fluid path 14 (then returning to the first tank 6).
- the fourth fluid path 14 there are other elements along the fourth fluid path 14, such as, for example, a heat exchanger and a proportional valve (not illustrated).
- the filling device 1 proposed here may be used in a container filling apparatus comprising a rotating carousel 20 provided with a plurality of filling stations.
- each filling station there is a device for hot filling 1 in accordance with the present invention.
- the first fluid path 11 and the second fluid path 12 are obtained in the rotating carousel 20.
- the first fluid path 11 has a terminal portion 11a which extends from the first valve 3 to the dispensing nozzle 2.
- the terminal portion 11a is parallel to a terminal portion 12a of the second fluid path 12, which extends from the second valve 4 to the outlet of the second fluid path 12.
- first fluid path 11 extends more externally than the second fluid path 11 within the rotating carousel 20.
- the recirculation of the food fluid is assured by an already existing closed path, i.e. a path that does not increase the structural complexity of the device, as it exploits conduits, valves and other elements already present.
- the recess (or double recess) for the dummy bottle plays a key role in that it makes it possible both to perform a traditional sanitisation and to recirculate the food fluid when undesirable interruptions occur during the filling process.
