Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and a device for bottling a filling product, preferably for bottling a beverage in a beverage bottling plant using the free jet method.
  • Methods and devices for free-jet filling of beverages are known, in which a volume flow of the beverage is enabled and interrupted by opening and closing a filling valve.
  • a container to be filled is located at a distance from a filling product outlet below the filling valve, so that when the filling valve is open, the beverage can flow freely through a container opening of the container into the container. If the container is filled with the drink, the filling valve is closed and the flow of filling product is interrupted as a result.
  • it is known to determine the quantity of filled filling product by means of a flow meter assigned to the filling valve.
  • the filling valve is closed at high speed.
  • the cross section available to the filling product in the filling valve is successively reduced, usually by moving a first valve surface, preferably a valve cone, relative to a second valve surface, preferably a valve seat, towards the second valve surface. Due to the narrowing of the cross section, the filling product located in the filling valve undergoes additional acceleration, as a result of which the free jet breaks off and filling product can squirt, in particular laterally. On the one hand, this results in a loss of filling product. In addition, as a result, filling product reaches the outside of the container to be filled and/or parts of the system.
  • the rapid closing of the filling valve can lead to pressure surges in the filling element or in a line conducting the filling product to the filling valve, since the filling product is also accelerated against the actual filling flow direction when it is closed. These pressure shocks or their energy must be compensated.
  • gas bubbles are contained in the line, these can have a resilient effect due to their compressibility, so that vibrations occur in the line. These oscillations can be detected by the flow meter and interpreted as the quantity that has flowed through, which can lead to errors in determining the quantity of the filled filling product.
  • the filling valve and the control valve at the same time in order to interrupt the filling product volume flow.
  • the volume flow reaching the filling valve decreases, so that less filling product then flows through the filling valve during the closing of the filling valve and thus less filling product is additionally displaced or additionally accelerated when the filling valve is closed.
  • the control valve usually has a different closing time than the filling valve. If the filling valve reaches the completely closed position before the control valve, the above-mentioned pressure surge and the filling product can splatter. If the control valve is in the completely closed position before the filling valve, air can enter the filling valve and the jet can break off.
  • the DE 10 2014 117 831 A1 describes a method and a device for filling a container with a filling product according to the preambles of claims 1 and 7.
  • the EP 2 942 289 A1 describes a device and a method for filling flexible containers.
  • the object is achieved by a method for bottling a filling product, preferably for bottling a beverage in a beverage bottling plant using the free jet method, with the features of Claim 1 solved.
  • Advantageous developments of the method result from the dependent claims and the present description and the figures.
  • a method for bottling a filling product preferably for bottling a beverage in a beverage bottling plant using the free jet method, comprising providing a filling product flow through a filling product line by opening a filling valve arranged in the filling product line and an associated control valve for controlling a volume flow, and closing it of the control valve and closing of the fill valve to stop the flow of fill product at the end of fill.
  • the control valve and the filling valve are closed in a synchronized manner.
  • control valve and the filling valve are controlled in such a way that the control valve and the filling valve move into the closed position essentially at the same time or in a fixed time relationship and preferably only with a small time offset.
  • the filling valve can be closed at high speed while pressure shocks in the filling product and splashing and/or uncontrolled tearing off of the flow or jet of filling product can be reduced or even avoided altogether. Accurate and clean filling can therefore be achieved by the synchronized closing of the filling valve and control valve.
  • control valve and the filling valve are controlled with an offset time. This can ensure that the control valve and the filling valve move to the closed position synchronously, even if they have different closing speeds. Consequently, particularly precise and clean filling can be achieved as a result.
  • the closing of the control valve is triggered by a first control command from a controller and the closing of the filling valve is triggered by a second control command from the controller, the second control command being triggered with a delay in time from the first control command by the offset time.
  • the second control command can be triggered by the offset time after the first control command or by the offset time before the first control command, depending on whether the control valve has a longer closing time or a shorter closing time than the filling valve.
  • the second control command is preferably triggered by the offset time after the first control command.

Due to the rapid decrease in flow when the filling valve is closed, a clear minimum arises in the course of the change in flow over time, which can be measured in a simple manner and reliably. Furthermore, a time offset between the occurrence of the minimum and the point in time at which the filling valve reaches the closed position is marginal.
