Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device and a method for producing filled containers.
  • Numerous devices and methods of this type are known from the prior art. Usually a container is first filled with a liquid and then closed with a closure. In the prior art, methods are known in which an inert gas is filled into the headspace of the container in the case of containers that have not yet been closed in order to extend the shelf life of the corresponding beverage. This procedure is known in particular for so-called hot-fill processes, in which a heated liquid is filled into the containers.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object of making devices of this type known from the prior art ready for series production.
  • a device according to the invention for producing filled containers has a transport device which is suitable and intended for transporting containers filled with a liquid and closed with a closure.
  • the device has a penetration device, which is suitable and intended to create an opening in at least one area of the closure and / or the container, and an application device, which an interior of the container through this opening with a flowable and in particular gaseous medium acted upon (or this interior supplies the gaseous medium).
  • closures are preferably closures that have been manufactured in a compression molding process.

  • a pressure reduction in the rotation is only possible to a limited extent, however, since the built-in components, especially a pressure reducer, are not hygienic components and thus the entire line cannot be dampened to maintain hygiene.
  • the embodiment mentioned above therefore proposes providing a pressure accumulator on the rotating part or the moving part of the system. More precisely, this idea is based on the assumption that only one line with a pressure level, for example, the lower pressure or the higher pressure, is led through a media distributor.
