Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for filling unilaterally open packages, in particular cardboard composite packages, with flowable products, in particular food, in a filling machine.
- the invention further relates to a filling machine for filling unilaterally open packages, in particular cardboard composite packages, with flowable products, in particular food, preferably by the said method, wherein at least one nozzle for introducing hot air, drying air and / or sterilizing agent from above into the unilaterally open packages is provided and wherein a transport device for transporting the unilaterally open packages through the filling device and under the at least one nozzle away is provided.
- the packs are preferably filled with flowable food.
- Packings used in particular are packs which are open at an upper side in order to provide an opening for filling the packs.
- the packs can be, for example, cardboard composite packings, which are formed from a packaging material in the form of a laminate comprising a cardboard layer and outer, in particular thermoplastic, plastic layers, for example made of polyethylene (PE).
- PE polyethylene
- Plastic layers protect the board from moisture and allow sealing of the packaging material to form a tight package.
- other layers such as an aluminum layer, may be provided to prevent diffusion of oxygen and other gases through the package.
- the filling of the food packages is typically done under sterile conditions. It is not only the food to be filled, but also the pack to be sterilized. For this, the food is usually heated for a certain period of time. The packs are initially mostly blown out with sterile hot air. In the thus heated packs, a sterilizing agent is then introduced, which is typically hydrogen peroxide or has. As the package is preheated, high sterilization reaction rates are achieved, avoiding too much condensate in the package.
- Moisture and residual hydrogen peroxide is then removed from the package by drying the package with, preferably hot and sterile, drying air. Then the filling of the sterile pack is done.
- Sterilizing means comprise nozzles for selectively exposing the unilaterally open packages with the appropriate medium.
- the packages may be transported past the respective nozzles, which typically have round nozzle outlets. The transport of the packs can be done continuously, if necessary, at a constant speed.
- the nozzles may be moved with the packages, such that there is no relative velocity between the packages and the nozzles. However, it is simpler and more cost-effective if the nozzles are provided in a fixed position. In any case, it must be ensured that the packs are sufficiently charged with hot air, drying air and / or sterilant to be sufficiently preheated, dried and / or sterilized. On the one hand enough hot air, drying air and / or
- Sterilizers are passed from the nozzle to or in the packs and the package linger long enough under the nozzle. At the same time, however, there is
- This object is according to claim 1 by a method for filling unilaterally open packages, in particular cardboard composite packages, with flowable
- the hot air, the drying air and / or the sterilization agent are conducted from at least one elongated nozzle slot extending transversely to the transport direction in the direction of the packs.
- the above object is also achieved in a filling machine with the preamble of claim 8, characterized in that the at least one nozzle has at least one extending transversely to the transport direction elongated nozzle slot for directing the hot air, the drying air and / or the sterilizing agent in the direction of the unilaterally open packages ,
- the invention has recognized that the processing of the unilaterally open packages with hot air, drying air and / or sterilizing agent can be improved if the corresponding medium is applied via a nozzle having an elongated nozzle slot extending transversely to the transport direction. In this way, the appropriate pack can be in the same time with more medium
- the entry of the corresponding medium into the packs is improved in such a way that the inner surfaces of the packs more reliably in the desired manner with the corresponding medium in contact come.
- the packs are thus more uniform and as intended heated, dried and / or sterilized.
- there is the advantage that the processing of the packs with the corresponding medium is less dependent on the type and dimensions of the packs.
- the filling machine can be converted without much change in construction or in terms of process management for operation with other types of packs.
- the term nozzle is preferably understood very generally. It is not necessarily a nozzle with significant cross-sectional constriction to produce a significant pressure loss or a greatly widening free jet required.
- the nozzle is only intended to allow a reliable and targeted feeding of the corresponding medium along the longitudinal extent of the nozzle.
- the nozzle can be designed, for example, as a hollow component which tapers off and ends in an oblong, in particular rectangular, cross-section.
- the term of the hot air and the drying air is preferably to be understood very broadly.
- the appropriate medium is used for preheating and
- air is preferred to be considered generally as a gas or mixture of gases.
- air is readily available inexpensively, it is particularly preferred if it really is air.
- air is used throughout. Therefore, in the present case the sake of clarity and to avoid unnecessary repetition of hot air and drying air spoken, even if these media need not be limited to air and in principle as a heating medium or drying medium
- the air or another medium is preferably sterile in order to avoid contamination of the packages.
- the air or the corresponding medium can be passed through a correspondingly fine filter, which separates even the smallest solids.
- the packs are preferably laminate packings formed from packaging laminates.
- it is cardboard composite packings of a packaging material laminate comprising at least one cardboard layer, preferably at least one barrier layer, for example consisting of aluminum, polyamide and / or an ethylene-vinyl alcohol, and outer layers of a thermoplastic plastic, in particular polyethylene (PE) ,
- PE polyethylene
- the nozzle slot may extend at least substantially obliquely to the transport direction of the packs, in order to be given
- Sterilization agent at least substantially perpendicular to the transport direction of the packs and / or vertically exiting the at least one nozzle.
- this can also lead to a better distribution of the corresponding medium in the packs and thus to a more comprehensive and reliable processing of the packs, regardless of the height of the packs.
- High packs are
- the direction of flow of the hot air, the drying air and / or the sterilizing agent can be transported past a package under the nozzle Exit from the nozzle parallel and / or transversely to the transport direction of the packs adjusted, in particular pivoted, be.
- a targeted admission of the corresponding inner sides of the packs can be achieved, which can be achieved both in the case of adjustment or pivoting parallel and transverse to the transport direction.
- Packages can be achieved with the appropriate medium.
- the processing time can be extended with the appropriate medium.
- the corresponding medium can already be conducted into the pack before the pack is actually arranged below the corresponding nozzle.
- the corresponding medium can still be conducted into the pack if the pack is no longer arranged below the nozzle.
- the nozzle slot is arranged transversely to the transport direction at least substantially over the entire width of the packages conveyed underneath. Under certain circumstances, however, it may also be sufficient if the nozzle slot extends only over 80% of the width of the pack conveyed underneath. In addition, an extension of the nozzle slot over up to 120% of the width of the package will be sufficient in many cases. However, special applications are conceivable in which a length of the nozzle slot up to 150%, up to 200% or even up to 300% of the width of the packs can lead to a convenient processing of the same. By suitably adapted to the width of the pack extension of the nozzle slot, the package with the corresponding medium is rinsed reliable and uniform. Below the width of the packs is doing
- the nozzle slot Understood.
- the corresponding arrangement of the nozzle slot ultimately a more homogeneous treatment of the packages is achieved by the appropriate medium. This is especially true in the case where the nozzle slot is about as wide or slightly wider than the package. Alternatively, for the same reason, the nozzle slot may be slightly longer than the maximum diagonal of the cross-section of the opening of the package. If the nozzle slot is alternatively or additionally arranged obliquely to the transport direction of the packs, the treatment time can with the corresponding
- Transport direction of the packs an angle between 25 ° and 65 °, preferably between 35 ° and 55 °, in particular between 41 ° and 50 °, includes.
- the nozzle slot may be so inclined to the transport direction and / or elongated, in particular in the transport direction, formed that the nozzle slot is at least temporarily arranged over two successively transported past the nozzle packs. This can be favorable for the processing of the packs but also lead to an additional demand for the medium to be dispensed via the nozzle.
- the nozzle is designed to direct the hot air, the drying air and / or the sterilizing agent at least substantially perpendicular to the transport direction of the packs and / or vertically in the direction of the unilaterally open packs, the packs, in particular high packs, can be treated more reliably.
- the bottom portion of packages can be so short
- the processing of the packages can be made more reliable or at least more rapid if the at least one nozzle, preferably by adjusting, in particular pivoting the nozzle, is suitable for the direction of flow of the hot air, the drying air and / or the sterilizing agent as it exits the nozzle parallel to the transport direction of the packs to adjust in the transport direction of the packs and / or transversely to the transport direction of the packs, in particular to pivot, while a pack under the nozzle
- At least one guide device for example in the form of a guide plate, may be provided which contributes to the desired adjustment of the flow direction of the corresponding medium by suitable adjustment, in particular pivoting, while a packing to be treated with the corresponding medium is under the corresponding one Nozzle is transported past.
- Filling machine can be provided for simplicity, a transport device having cells and / or carrier for receiving the packages.
- the packages can then be transported with the carriers or cells through the filling machine or past the corresponding nozzle, without causing it
- the transport device can be designed to transport the unilaterally open packages continuously, in particular at a constant speed, under the at least one nozzle. It is structurally particularly simple if the packages are transported along a straight line. Thus, the cost of the transport device is reduced, which contributes to a reduction in costs. Subsequently, the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to an exemplary embodiments illustrative drawing. In the drawing shows

- the filling machine it is also possible for the filling machine to be supplied with packages 2 which are already open to be filled.
- the illustrated preferred filling machine 1 also has a number of parallel processing lines, of which only one processing line is shown in FIG. Each processing line is assigned a bundle 4 of package blanks 5 whose longitudinal edges are sealed to one another and thus form packing shells 6 which are open on both sides. By a feeder 7, the packing shells 6 are unfolded and pushed onto a mandrel 8 of a mandrel wheel 9.
- the mandrel 9 is cyclically, so gradually, rotated counterclockwise.
- the packing shells 6 are processed in different positions.
- the cells are continuous, ie without in
- the cells are accelerated and / or braked or the Transport of the cells by the filling machine 1 takes place at a constant speed.
- the package 2 is transported by means of the transport device 14 through an aseptic chamber 15 which is successively subdivided into a sterilization zone 16 and a filling and sealing zone 17.
- the transport of the packages 2 does not have to be rectilinear, but can also take place in at least one arc or even in a circle, depending on whether the filling machine 1 is a so-called longitudinal or rotary.
- the aseptic chamber 15 is via corresponding
- Sterile air connections 18 are flushed with sterile air to prevent the ingress of germs.
- Sterile hot air is first blown into the open-topped packs 2 by a preheating device 19 in order to preheat the packs 2. Subsequently, in a sterilizing device 20, a sterilizing agent is injected into the packs, which reacts more strongly in the preheated packs 2 and condenses less.
- a sterilizing agent is in particular hydrogen peroxide in question.
- Hydrogen peroxide may be introduced into the unilaterally open packing 2 together with steam and / or air.
- the interior of the packages 2 is dried in a drying device 21 by applying drying air.
- the drying air is preferably hot and sterile.
- the unilaterally open packages 2 are positioned under a filling device 22 and filled with a food.
- the filled packages 2 are then closed with a closing device 23 by folding the upper open area of the package 2 and sealing it.
- the sealed packages 2 are then removed from the cells 13 of the transport device 14 and further processed as needed.
- the now empty cells 13 of the transport device 14 are further moved in the direction of the mandrel wheel 9 in order to receive more packages 2 there.
- the preheating device 19, sterilizing device 20, drying device 21 and filling device 22 are shown only schematically for the sake of better clarity and clarity. Therefore, in Fig. 2, the aseptic chamber 15 is shown again in detail.
- the illustration of FIG. 2 is also very schematic, but in particular the nozzles of the preheating device 19, sterilizing device 20 and drying device 21, with which the hot air, the drying air or the sterilizing agent is directed in the direction of the packs, are shown larger.
- a preheating device 19 which has a nozzle 24 for introducing hot air into the packs 2, is initially provided in the sterilization zone 16.
- the hot air is drawn in the illustrated and so far preferred filling machine 1 via a compressor 25 from the environment and filtered by means of a filter 26 to separate microorganisms and to sterilize the air so.
- the sterile air is heated in a heating device 27.
- the unilaterally open packages 2 are transported continuously under the stationary nozzle 24 of the preheater 19. Thereafter, the packages 2 enter a sterilizer 20 in the
- Sterilizing agent which is in the illustrated and so far preferred filling machine 1 is an aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution, fed via a pump 28 and evaporated in an evaporator 29. The mix out
- Hydrogen peroxide and steam which can still be supplied with air, is introduced via a nozzle 30 into the packs 2 transported therebelow.
- Steri Kunststoffan Being 18 passed into the sterilization zone 16, which can be done alternatively or additionally at other locations of the aseptic chamber 15.
- air is sucked in via a compressor 31 from the environment and pressed through a filter 32, in which all microorganisms are deposited for sterilizing the air become.
- the sterile packs are dried with hot drying air, which is also sucked in via a compressor 33 and sterilized in a filter 34. The thus sterilized air is heated in a heater 35 and passed into the packs 2.
- the dried packages 2 are then transferred to the filling and sealing zone 17 where the packages 2 in the next two positions of the conveyor 14 are filled with the product in the form of a food.
- the product is supplied in the filling device 22 via a reservoir 37 and a nozzle 39 is passed into the packs 2.
- the filled packages 2 are then closed by a closing device 23 by sealing the upper edge and transported out of the aseptic chamber 15.
- Drying devices 21 and / or filling devices 22 still have additional nozzles to edit the packages 2 with the appropriate media and / or to fill with product. Then, the processing and / or filling of the packages 2 is carried out successively with at least two nozzles in order to extend the processing time or to make the processing more reliable.
- FIGS. 3A-B the introduction of hot air, drying air, sterilizing agent or product to be filled is shown in a side view opposite to the transport direction T and in a top view at three successive points in time.
- the transport direction T of the packs 2 is indicated by arrows
- the package 2 is in a cell 36 of a transport device 14 held with the pack 2 is continuously passed under the corresponding nozzle 38, while it is introduced via the nozzle 38 hot air, drying air or sterilant in the package 2.
- the illustrated preferred nozzle 38 has an elongate nozzle slot 39 which extends obliquely to the transport direction T of the packages 2 below the nozzle 38, and at an angle of about 46 °.
- the elongated nozzle slot 39 extends transversely to the transport direction T over a length which exceeds the width of the packages 2 transversely to the transport direction T.
- the nozzle slot 39 is also arranged so that the nozzle slot 39 to both in the transverse direction
- the middle of the packs 2 is thereby passed at least substantially below the center of the illustrated nozzle slot 39.
- the individual views of FIG. 3B represent from left to right the conditions at three different times when passing a package 2 on the nozzle 38. Due to the inclination of the nozzle slot 39, the package 2 first arrives at its left side 40 in the transport direction T
- Nozzle slot 39 where the corresponding medium, namely hot air, drying air or sterilizing agent, first enters the package 2.
- the loading of the packs 2 with the illustrated preferred nozzle 38 takes place at least substantially in the vertical direction.
- the nozzle slot 39 extends over the entire width of the package 2 and is thus applied over the entire width of the package 2 with the appropriate medium. Again a little later, the left side of the package 40 has already passed completely under the nozzle slot 39, while the in
- Nozzle slot 39 is located and is therefore still charged with the appropriate medium. From the at least one nozzle slot 39, the corresponding medium can flow out permanently. This is particularly easy and leads to a reliable process. However, this tends to consume more medium than would be absolutely necessary for the treatment or processing of the packs 2. To reduce this excess, the distances of the packages 2 when passing under the at least one nozzle 38 can be reduced.
- FIGS. 4A-C alternative loading of the packages 2 with hot air, drying air or sterilizing agent through an alternative nozzle 42 is shown in a side view at three different times.
- the peculiarity of the nozzle 42 is that the nozzle 42 and the elongated nozzle slot 43 is pivotally provided via an adjusting device 44 not shown in detail.
- the nozzle 42 is inclined obliquely opposite to the transporting direction T in order to introduce the medium into the package 2 at a time when the package 2 is not yet arranged below the nozzle 42. and to edit a rear in the transport direction rear pack 45 intense. With the further transport of the package 2 in the transport direction T, the nozzle 42 also pivots in the transport direction T of the package 2.
- the nozzle 40 is directed approximately vertically downwards to inject the medium far into the open-sided package 2.
- the package 2 again moves away from the nozzle 42, wherein the nozzle 42 continues to pivot with the package 2 in its transport direction T.
- the time is reached in which the package 2, as shown in FIG. 4C, has already been transported away from the nozzle 42, whereby the nozzle 42, however, due to its inclination, still applies medium into the package 2, and in particular against the direction of transport in the pack front 46 of the package 2 passes.
- the next package 2 as shown in Fig.
- the nozzle 42 approaches, the nozzle 42 is pivoted against the transport direction T of the packs 2 back to a starting position, to then again with the transport direction T of the packages 2 in to be pivoted an end position.
- the pivoting of the nozzle 42 could alternatively or additionally also take place transversely to the transport direction T.
- the nozzle 42 could be stationary and not adjustable, but the flow direction of the medium can be deflected by a movable flow guide in the respective desired direction.
