Definitions

  • the invention represents a modularly constructed complete system for treating containers using different treatment steps such as cleaning, sterilizing, inspecting and filling.
  • cleaning regularly includes several stages, such as emptying, rinsing with water, treatment with one or more alkalis, empty pressure and preloading CO2 or inert gas, treatment with acid, with hot water and steam sterilization.
  • the bottling includes filling processes of the well-known beverage technology for beverages of all kinds, primarily carbonated beverages with and without alcohol.
  • Plants of this type are known as semi-automatic, which are operated manually, and as fully automatic, which are mostly assembled in modules up to very high outputs. What all systems have in common is that they take the so-called work cycles into account in terms of piping and process flow. Such a cycle is defined by the dwell time in the work stations assigned to the individual work steps, such as pre-rinsing, water rinsing, caustic rinsing, acid rinsing, hot water rinsing, holding superheated steam. It is "state of the art" that these cycles are optimally combined on individual treatment stations. For example, up to 8 work steps can be combined in only 3 stations, in that individual treatment stations can perform several functions. At the same time, the treatment stations are connected to supply lines for media, electricity and control signals.
  • Container treatment systems that are designed as fully automatic machines are further subdivided into container treatment systems that, in addition to treating the inside of the tank, also clean the outside, and those that only clean the inside and fill the tank.
  • Container treatment systems which, in addition to treating the inside of the tank, also clean the outside, are referred to as compact systems.
  • Container treatment systems which only clean the inside and fill the containers, are further divided into linear systems and rotary (systems).
  • Rotary machines are generally designed in such a way that separate, circular, rotating treatment rotors are provided both for the internal treatment or internal cleaning of the containers and for filling the containers. This procedure is time-consuming and expensive, and an increase in the performance of such a system is generally not possible.
  • transverse passage Two principles are known for linear systems: the longitudinal passage through the treatment system and the transverse passage through the treatment system, which is also referred to as transverse passage.
  • the containers must pass through a fixed sequence of treatment stations, whereby a container is always moved from one station to the station behind it as soon as the current treatment of the container has been completed and the subsequent station is free.
  • the process times for the different work steps are defined by the degree of contamination of the container on the one hand and the filling profile of the product to be filled on the other.
  • the combination of required treatment steps and their respective process times has a significant impact on the structural design, the size, the complexity and also the costs of such a container treatment plant.
  • a container treatment system according to the preamble of claim 1 is from DE 12 37 968 B famous.
  • Modular container treatment plants are out DE 20 2007 015 871 U1 and GB2261213 famous.
  • the object of the invention to create a container treatment system with a number of treatment stations, which allows very individual adaptation to different, also diverse, treatment tasks in a small space.
  • This object is achieved by a container treatment system having the features of claim 1.
  • Advantageous developments of the invention are the subject matter of the dependent claims.
  • Advantageous developments of the invention are also described in the description and in the drawings.
  • the treatment stations in the container treatment plant are arranged not only next to one another but also one above the other.
  • the system has at least one conveyor for the containers, which has both a horizontal and a vertical transport direction and is designed to equip all treatment stations with containers and/or to remove the containers from the treatment stations.
  • the task of the conveyor can preferably be taken over by a single conveyor, which both supplies and removes the containers.
  • a single conveyor which both supplies and removes the containers.
  • several conveyors can also be provided, with conveyors being able to be provided specifically only for the supply and only for the container removal.
  • the at least one transporter can reach more container stations with a certain route, or a certain number of container stations with a shorter route.
  • the travel time also decreases analogously with the travel distance, which is very desirable in the practical application of such container treatment systems.
  • the treatment stations are designed as treatment modules and can be exchanged in held at least one horizontally and vertically extending supporting frame of the treatment plant.
  • the treatment modules arranged next to and one above the other are thus arranged in a support frame in which the treatment modules preferably have a standardized size and standardized media connections or interfaces such as fluid supply lines and the like as well as electrical connections.
  • an existing treatment module can be replaced by another at any point on the support frame, for example if a module fails.
  • a fluid interface connected to the central fluid lines of the container treatment system and having at least one coupling flange that interacts with a complementary coupling flange of the treatment module connected to the fluid lines of the treatment module is arranged on the support frame at each operating position of a treatment module.
  • the fluid interface provided on the support frame offers all the necessary media for each treatment module, such as hydraulic water, hydraulic oil, compressed air, lubricating oil.
  • the fluid interface can also make the product to be filled available.
  • container stations prefferably be provided on both sides of the at least one conveyor, with the treatment stations arranged on the same side of the conveyor also being able to be arranged next to one another or one above the other.
  • the entire system is more compact, the transport routes are shorter and the three-dimensional extension of the system means that many different treatment tasks such as pre-rinsing, external cleaning, filling and sterilization can be carried out in a compact space.
  • some of the treatment stations can only serve as buffer storage to temporarily accommodate containers if one
  • Container station should result in delays or to provide a sufficient number of containers for a break or the like.
  • the new constellation of the functional units eliminates the known disadvantages, such as rigid cycle times, high space requirement, many conveyors and at the same time allows all known linear and rotary systems to be replaced in a modular way.
  • the container treatment stations are arranged in floors one above the other, with preferably all treatment stations located on one floor being arranged at the same height level, i.e. in the same horizontal plane.
  • the treatment stations are preferably arranged in at least two mutually parallel vertical planes, with these parallel vertical planes being located on both sides of the at least one conveyor.
  • the treatment stations are in turn arranged next to one another and one above the other within a parallel vertical plane. In this way, all treatment stations arranged on both sides of the conveyor are at the same distance from the conveyor. This allows the transport routes to be mapped as a combination of straight lines, which considerably simplifies the corresponding programming.
  • the conveyor reaches all container treatment stations arranged next to and one above the other with only very short travel distances.
  • the conveyor can move containers horizontally from a treatment station in one parallel vertical plane directly horizontally to a container treatment station in the other parallel vertical plane, without having to move up or down.
  • the container treatment stations located on the same "floors" are therefore preferably not offset vertically from one another.
  • the transporter is designed in the manner of a movable truck, which extends between the two parallel vertical planes of Container treatment stations moved, whereby the horizontal transport path is covered by the horizontal movement of the carriage and the vertical transport path is covered by the lifting functionality.
  • the horizontal and vertical transport functions are preferably realized simultaneously, which additionally shortens the transport distances.
  • the carriage is preferably rail-guided.
  • the conveyor can also contain a handling robot or other known handling devices.
  • the treatment modules are preferably held and/or secured in or on the support frame by means of a plug-in connection.
  • a connection can be established quickly and allows a reproducible fixed installation position of the treatment module.
  • Such technology is for example in the EP 2 059 446 B1 described.
  • each treatment module in the support frame is preferably secured by means of a latching device. This means that a defined operating position of the treatment module is reached, which is important because the points at which the containers, such as KEGs, are treated in the treatment modules are usually precisely defined and an imprecise operating position of a treatment module could lead to operational disruptions.
  • One support frame is preferably provided for each treatment module.
  • two or more treatment modules can also be arranged in one support frame or one treatment module in at least two support frames.
  • the coupling flange and the complementary coupling flange are preferably arranged in such a way that they automatically couple to one another in a fluid-tight manner when the treatment module is moved into the operating position.
  • the assembly of the treatment module is significantly simplified because the mechanical coupling of the treatment module in the operating position on the support frame is coupled with the simultaneous coupling of the coupling flanges. A treatment module can therefore be exchanged very quickly and without great assembly effort.
  • an electrical interface connected to electrical lines of the container treatment system at each operating position of a treatment module in or on the support frame.
  • a complementary interface for electrical lines of the treatment module is arranged on the treatment module, which interface can be connected to the interface of the container treatment system.
  • This electrical interface is preferably designed in such a way that it couples automatically when the treatment module is pushed into the operating position.
  • each treatment module is connected via an electric bus system to a controller of the container treatment plant, and a first connection element is arranged on the support frame in a fixed location relative to the operating position of each treatment module, which interacts with a complementary second connection element arranged on the treatment module in such a way that when it is pushed in/ coupling the treatment module into the support frame, contact the first and second connection elements with one another, at the latest when the treatment module has reached its operating position in the support frame.
  • an electrical control system of the treatment module is automatically coupled to an electrical control system of the treatment facility when the treatment module is moved into the operating position on the support frame.
  • the frames of the treatment stations can be plugged together with the support structures formed on the support frame in the operating position of the treatment stations. In this way, a stable mounting of the components on the support frame of the container treatment plant is ensured.
  • At least some of the treatment stations act as buffers, so that different processing times in upstream and/or downstream container treatment systems or disruptions in the production process can be compensated for by the buffer, which acts as a buffer.
  • At least some of the treatment stations preferably have their own control electronics, which optionally allow the activities of the treatment stations to be carried out largely independently of the other treatment stations.
  • At least one of the treatment stations is preferably designed as a cleaning station and at least one as a filling station, which represents the usual treatment stations when filling a container.
  • the core of the invention is a floor-by-floor arrangement of the functional processing stations (also called cleaning and filling heads) one above the other, with a central multi-directional conveyor system for loading the processing stations.
  • the treatment plant according to the invention with a multi-directional conveyor system saves up to 200 m of conveyor.
  • the covering area is reduced accordingly by approx. 80%, the number of drives is reduced by approx. 60%, for example.
  • the invention considerably increases the number of degrees of freedom in the arrangement of the treatment stations, in order to ensure that the successive working cycles run as smoothly as possible.
  • the system can be built with several levels, e.g. two to five levels one above the other, whereby a higher number of levels further optimizes the savings.
  • the system is suitable for low throughputs of 30 containers/hour up to 1,300 containers/hour. Reusable containers and/or disposable containers can even be run simultaneously on the treatment plant according to the invention.
  • a core of the system is the intelligent control of the conveyor.
  • the treatment plant preferably has an intelligent multi-path transport system that takes over the complete container transport within the plant between a container feed and removal and the treatment modules.
  • Such an intelligent container feed to the treatment modules based on the principle of high-bay warehouses allows all the necessary degrees of freedom in the container feed and removal with maximum performance.
  • the novel container cleaning and filling system concept of the treatment system according to the invention uses, in addition to the modular structure of the treatment stations, the basic principles of an automatic loading and unloading system of a high-bay warehouse.
  • the invention makes it possible to implement a flexible treatment sequence, i.e. one that can be changed at any time, from treatment stations in the shortest possible time.
  • the modularity of the treatment system preferably ranges from treatment functions to the container types.
  • Any treatment system no matter how small, can be upgraded at any time without having to discard treatment modules that have already been purchased and/or without requiring new control programs.
  • the constellation of the treatment modules also allows modular piping for the media, sterile air, CO2, lye, acid, hot water, cold water, sterilization media, preferably on an outside or rear side of the treatment modules facing away from the conveyor.
  • the treatment modules have a frame that can be connected to the frame of other treatment modules, with the connected frames of the treatment modules forming the supporting frame of the treatment system.
  • a support frame is preferably assigned to a treatment station.
  • two or more treatment stations can share one support frame or one treatment station can have a plurality of support frames.
  • the system can theoretically process any output between 10 and 2000 containers per hour, based on a 50 liter barrel, which is understandable due to the modular arrangement. If a running rail of the conveyor is designed for the expected future performance when a system is commissioned, a customer can retrofit individual treatment modules at any time in order to increase the system performance.
  • the transporter can be designed in any way, for example as an industrial truck guided on rails for one or more containers.
  • the transporter can have separate conveyor systems for the horizontal and vertical transport of the containers.
  • the conveyor systems can have different degrees of automation, from manual conveyors to fully automatic conveyor robots.
  • the supply connections of the treatment stations include fluid and media connections, in particular standardized interfaces, electrical connections and also electrical control connections, e.g. bus systems, which are preferably standardized as described above and can be coupled automatically. These are preferably arranged on a side of the treatment stations, especially treatment modules, that faces away from the conveyor.

  • the treatment module 11 has a frame 12 and a treatment assembly 14, which is used, for example, to fill or to clean or sterilize a container, depending on the task.
  • the frames 12 of a plurality of treatment modules 11 arranged next to one another and one above the other can be connected to form a common supporting frame, as is shown in FIGS figures 4 and 5 is shown.

  • the frames 12 of the treatment modules 11, 16, 18, 20 are connected to one another and thus form a common supporting frame which increases with the number of treatment modules 11, 16, 18, 20 installed.
  • the treatment modules can also be used in a separate support frame of the system 10.
  • the treatment modules 16, 18, 20 are in the in figure 5 shown example arranged in two floors one above the other. The number of floors can, of course, be greater according to need.
  • the treatment modules 16, 18, 20 arranged on the different floors are aligned along two mutually parallel vertical planes E1, E2.
  • a conveyor 22 is arranged between the two vertical planes E1, E2, which has at least one transfer carriage 26, which is preferably guided on rails 24 and is used to transport the containers 28 between the different treatment modules 16, 18, 20. Due to the alignment according to the vertical planes, the treatment modules 16, 18, 20 arranged on both sides of the conveyor have the same distance to the conveyor, which simplifies the transport logistics, ie the delivery and removal of containers to the treatment stations.
  • a particularly advantageous embodiment provides that the conveyor is arranged or runs in a vertical height plane which corresponds approximately to the center of the vertical extent of the treatment stations arranged one above the other. This procedure reduces the sum of the travel distances during vertical movements of the conveyor.

  • the treatment modules 16, 18, 20 with their frames 12 can be exchanged in the container treatment system 0, that is, they can be removed. All supply connections of the treatment modules 11, 16, 18, 20 are preferably arranged on the side of the treatment modules facing away from the conveyor 22 and thus do not interfere with the loading and unloading access of the transfer carriage 26. They are also easily accessible from the outside of the vertical planes facing away from one another Maintenance work.
  • the frames 12 of the treatment modules 11 are connected to a separate support frame, not shown, preferably via plug-in connections with a latching device for defining the operating position of each treatment module.
  • Media connections such as product to be filled, water, hydraulic oil, compressed air as well as electrical or control-electrical connections are preferably formed via standardized interfaces, which automatically couple to each other in a fluid-tight manner when pushed into the treatment module in the operating position, so that every type of treatment module is automatically coupled to all necessary connections .
  • the containers 28 are fed to the various treatment modules 16, 18, 20 in the required treatment sequence.
  • the transfer carriage 26 transports the container 28 to the treatment module that follows in the treatment sequence.

After sealing, the container is fed to the delivery station 34 by the traversing carriage and discharged via the discharge conveyor 36 .
  • Containers 28 that do not pass the integrated quality control are ejected via the transfer carriage 26 at the end of the running rail 24 . It is clear that above the two horizontal planes of the figure 5 still a third or further horizontal levels of treatment modules can be arranged so that the vertical levels E1, E2 extend further upwards. Instead of one carriage, several carriages can also be arranged simultaneously between the two vertical planes E1, E2.
