Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for CIP cleaning at least one filling element of a filling machine according to the preamble of patent claim 1 and to a filling machine for filling containers with a liquid product according to the preamble of patent claim 12.
  • Filling machines for filling containers with a liquid filling material have filling elements that have to be cleaned, disinfected or sterilized, for example after a certain time or when the filling material is changed. This is for the sake of hygiene and prevents contamination of a filling with residues of the previous filling.
  • CIP cleaning cleaning in place
  • a method for CIP cleaning of a filling element according to the preamble of claim 1 is from DE 10 2008 030291 A1 known.
  • the document describes DE 100 61 401 A1 a filling machine in which a rinsing cap is placed on each filling element for CIP cleaning and accommodates the respective filling tube in a rinsing chamber that is sealed off from the outside.
  • cleaning agents then flow, among other things, through a ring channel, through open liquid channels in the filling elements, past liquid valves and their valve seats, through the filling tube channel of each filling tube, through the rinsing chamber and past the outside of the filling tube through a gas path into another ring channel .
  • a disadvantage of the solution mentioned is that it is not checked whether each filling element has actually been cleaned and that it is therefore also impossible to provide proof that the filling machine has been completely cleaned.
  • the present invention is based on the object of providing an improved method for CIP cleaning of filling elements of a filling machine and a correspondingly improved filling machine which, in particular, check the cleaning and/or sterilization of the filling elements and thus enable verification that the filling machine has been completely cleaned .
  • the object is achieved by a method for CIP cleaning at least one filling element of a filling machine according to the features of independent patent claims 1 and solved by a filling machine for filling containers with a liquid product according to the features of the independent patent claim 12.
  • the respective dependent claims relate to particularly preferred embodiment variants of the invention.
  • CIP cleaning also includes SIP cleaning (sterilization in place cleaning), since the latter is a special case of CIP cleaning.
  • SIP cleaning sterilization in place cleaning
  • the filling machine is designed for filling containers with a liquid product.
  • Containers are understood to mean, for example, bottles, other bottle-like containers, cans, party cans or kegs.
  • the filling machine has a large number of filling positions on a revolving transport element. Each filling position has a filling element with a filling valve.
  • the filling element can also have an electric filling level probe or else a long filling tube designed as an electric probe. In the following, both the electric filling level probe and the long filling tube designed as an electric probe are referred to as electric filling level probes.
  • the filling position can also have a container carrier for carrying the containers.
  • the liquid filling material passes from the filling machine into the container via the filling valve, to which a filling pipe can be connected.
  • the electric filling level probe checks the level that the liquid filling has reached in the container. As soon as a predetermined height is reached, the filling of the container is stopped.
  • the electrical filling level probe works according to the principle that an electrical circuit is closed via the liquid filling material, with this closing of the circuit being detected by corresponding measuring devices.
  • the filling valve and the electric filling level probe are now accommodated in a rinsing space provided by a closing element.
  • the closing element is in particular a rinsing cap or a rinsing sleeve.
  • the rinsing chamber is sealed off from the outside by the closing element.
  • At least one cleaning medium, via which the filling element is cleaned, is then fed into the washing chamber.
  • the filling valve is cleaned both from the outside and from the inside.
  • cleaning liquids can be used as the cleaning medium, including disinfectants, acids and alkalis. It is possible to use different cleaning media in different cleaning steps. Water is also understood as a cleaning medium, which is used in particular as the final cleaning medium for rinsing.
  • At least one measurement is carried out with the electric filling level probe during the CIP cleaning.
  • the cleaning medium closes a circuit of the electric fill level probe, whereby it is recognized that there is cleaning medium in the wash cabinet. It can thus be checked for each filling element whether there is cleaning medium in the washing chamber or not, and the proper implementation of the cleaning itself can thus be checked. If this check is carried out for all cleaning steps and all filling elements, it is possible to verify that the filling machine has been completely cleaned.
  • the CIP cleaning of the filling element is significantly improved by the method according to the invention, even without the need for additional components.
  • the closing element is hung in manually at the filling position and/or activated automatically.
  • the capping element When hanging the capping element manually, it is possible to store the capping element away from the filling machine and only use CIP cleaning when required.
  • no complex mechanism is required to hang in the closing element.
  • the closing element if the closing element is activated automatically, CIP cleaning can be carried out more quickly and fewer personnel are required.
  • the closing element is attached manually and then activated automatically.
  • controllable valves which are arranged in gas and/or liquid channels of the filling machine are opened and/or closed in such a way that the cleaning medium is circulated through the filling valve. At least a partial flow of the cleaning medium then also goes through the flushing sleeve. In this way, the cleaning medium is repeatedly moved past the filling valve and can further improve cleaning via the flow.
  • both the measurement area and the ground area are designed to be electrically conductive and electrically insulated from one another.
  • the ground area can, but does not have to, have the electrical potential of 0 V.
  • the measurement is carried out between the measuring area and a mass area of the filling level probe and/or a mass area of the closing element.
  • an electric voltage is applied between the measuring area and the ground area and the resulting electric current flow is measured directly or indirectly.
  • a current flow indicates the presence of an electrically conductive liquid between the measuring area and the ground area, while a non-existent electrical current means that the measuring area is still electrically isolated from the ground area.
  • a periodic voltage is applied to the measuring area of the filling level probe for the measurement. This avoids electrolysis occurring in the measuring area and/or ground area, as could be the case with direct voltage.
  • This periodic voltage is preferably a square-wave voltage, which allows the magnitude of the electric current flow to be easily measured.
  • the level of an electrical current flow between the measuring range of the filling level probe and a ground area, the level of a voltage drop in the measuring circuit and/or the level of an electrical resistance between the measuring area of the filling level probe and a ground area since these measurements are in principle equivalent to one another, provided that the geometry between the measuring area and the ground area is known.
  • the electrical resistance between the measuring area and the ground area and thus the electrical conductivity of the cleaning medium can then be easily calculated via the voltage drop at the series resistor or between the measuring area and the ground area and with a known applied voltage.
  • the series resistor is preferably adjusted in such a way that the most accurate possible measurement of the resistance lying between the measuring area and the ground area is made possible.
  • a reference measurement of the electrical conductivity of the cleaning medium is advantageously carried out, in particular by means of a conductivity measuring device installed in a gas and/or liquid channel. This reference measurement is then used as a basis for checking whether the medium measured by the level probe has approximately the same conductivity as the cleaning medium.
  • the temperature of the cleaning medium is preferably measured at the point at which the reference measurement of the electrical conductivity is carried out.
  • the temperature of the cleaning medium is determined from the electrical conductivity measured by the level probe. Due to the temperature dependence of the electrical conductivity of liquids, the temperature of the cleaning medium in the area of the level probe can be determined from the conductivity measured by the level probe together with the reference measurement of the electrical conductivity and the temperature in this reference measurement. Deviations of this temperature from an expected temperature can indicate problems when cleaning the filling element.
  • the cleaning of the filling machine can also be proven afterwards or possible errors can be detected.
  • This predetermined time can be zero if it is only important that the cleaning medium has reached the filling element.
  • the predetermined time can also be greater than zero if the cleaning medium is to act on the filling element for a specific period of time.
  • the predetermined time can differ depending on the cleaning medium.
  • the predetermined time only begins to run when the filling level probes of all filling elements to be cleaned have detected the cleaning medium.
  • the CIP cleaning is carried out in such a way that the cleaning medium has safely reached all filling elements, so a certain time buffer is built in to ensure reliable cleaning of the filling elements.
  • This time buffer can be dispensed with by detecting the cleaning medium using level sensors, which speeds up CIP cleaning.
  • Containers are understood to mean, for example, bottles, other bottle-like containers, cans, party cans or kegs.
  • the filling machine has a large number of filling positions on a revolving transport element. Each filling position has a filling element with a filling valve and an electric filling level probe or with a long filling tube designed as an electric probe.
  • the filling position can also have a container carrier for carrying the containers.
  • the liquid filling material passes from the filling machine into the container via the filling valve, to which a filling pipe can be connected.
  • the electric filling level probe checks the level that the liquid filling has reached in the container.
  • the electrical filling level probe works according to the principle that an electrical circuit is closed via the liquid filling material, with this closing of the circuit being detected by corresponding measuring devices.
  • the filling valve and the electric filling level probe are in one of a closing element provided washing room recordable.
  • the closing element can be hung manually at the filling position and/or activated automatically.
  • at least one cleaning medium is then fed into the rinsing chamber, so that the filling element is cleaned.
  • the filling machine has a controller that is designed to carry out the method according to the preceding description.
  • at least one measurement is carried out with the electrical filling level probe during the CIP cleaning.
  • the cleaning medium closes the circuit of the filling level probe, whereby it is recognized that there is cleaning medium in the wash cabinet. In this way, it can be checked for each filling element whether there is cleaning medium in the wash chamber or not, and the cleaning itself can thus be checked. If this check is carried out for all cleaning steps and all filling elements, it is possible to verify that the filling machine has been completely cleaned.
  • Measuring electronics of the fill level probe advantageously have an adjustable series resistor. Since the electrical conductivities of water used for rinsing, for example, on the one hand, and alkalis or acids used for cleaning, on the other hand, are sometimes more than two orders of magnitude apart, the adjustable series resistor makes it possible to obtain a precise measurement result over this range of conductivities.
  • the filling machine has at least one conductivity measuring device installed in a gas and/or liquid channel for measuring a reference conductivity. From the comparison of the reference conductivity with the conductivity measured by the level probe, it can be concluded whether the medium measured by the level probe is the desired cleaning medium or not.
  • Figure 1a shows a schematic section through a filling element 1 of a filling machine for filling containers with a liquid product.
  • the filling element 1 has a filling valve 2 which is represented here by a cone 3 which interacts with a conical recess 4 in the filling element 1 .
  • This representation of the filling valve 2 is to be understood merely as an example and schematically. Many other forms of a filling valve 2 are conceivable and possible and these do not affect the present invention.
  • the filling valve 2 When filling a container, not shown here, which is preferably located below the filling valve 2, the filling valve 2 is opened so that the liquid filling material can flow into the container via the filling valve 2 and a liquid channel 5 in fluid communication with it. Air escaping from the container during filling is discharged via a gas channel 6 .
  • a filling level probe 7 is arranged centrally, which is preferably rod-shaped and preferably connects to the filling valve 2 in the direction of the container.
  • the level probe 7 has an electrically conductive measuring area 8 at its lower end, ie the end opposite the filling valve 2 .
  • This measurement area 8 is separated from a likewise electrically conductive ground area 10 of the level probe 7 by an insulating area 9 .
  • the Functionality of such a filling level probe 7 such that an electrical, preferably periodic, voltage U is initially applied between the measuring area 8 and the ground area 10 . Since the measuring area 8 and the ground area 10 are separated from one another by the insulating area 9 , no current initially flows in the associated circuit since there is no electrically conductive connection between the measuring area 8 and the ground area 10 of the level probe 7 .
  • the filling level probe 7 reaches into the container to be filled in the known application, namely the transition between the insulating area 9 and the mass area 10 comes to lie in the area of the desired filling level of the filling material in the container.
  • the filling valve 2 is then opened and the filling material is filled into the container via the filling valve 2 and the liquid channel 5 connected thereto.
  • the circuit between the measuring area 8 and the ground area 10 is closed via the conductive filling material. Because of the applied voltage U, current can now flow in the circuit. It is thus reached the desired filling level of the filling in the container and the filling valve 2 can be closed again.
  • the filling element 1 has a connecting device 11 for connecting a closing element 12 to the filling element 1 .
  • FIG Figure 1b shows a schematic section through the filling element 1 according to FIG Figure 1a with a closing element 12 connected thereto, which is designed here by way of example as a flushing sleeve.
  • the closing element 12 seals tightly with the filling element 1 and thus forms a rinsing chamber 13, in which in particular the filling valve 2 and the filling level probe 7 are accommodated, i.e. the closing element 12 forms a fluid-tight rinsing chamber 13 with the filling element 1, which is located on the Underside of the closing element 12 adjoins the liquid channel 5 and in which at least the free-end end of the filling level probe 7 is accommodated.
  • the gas channel 6 is also fluidly connected to the flushing chamber 13.
  • Closing element 12 shown is, for example, manually hooked into connection device 11 or connected to it in a detachable manner. It is also possible that the closing element 12 is activated automatically.
  • the closing element 12 can be designed as a flushing cap. However, the respective embodiment of the closing element 12 has no influence on the present invention.
  • a cleaning medium is now introduced into the washing chamber 13 via the filling valve 2 and the liquid channel 5 .
  • the cleaning medium thus reaches both the filling valve 2 and the filling level probe 7.
  • the cleaning medium is preferably discharged again from the washing chamber 13 via the gas channel 6, so that the cleaning medium is guided in a circuit-like manner.
  • the cleaning medium can also be routed in the opposite direction, so that it enters the rinsing chamber 13 via the gas duct 6 and leaves the rinsing chamber 13 again via the liquid duct 5 and the filling valve 2 .
  • cleaning liquids can be considered as the cleaning medium, including very strong cleaning liquids such as acids and alkalis or water, which is used for rinsing. Different cleaning liquids are usually used one after the other. So could be cleaned first with an acid and then with a lye and then rinsed with water.
  • the cleaning medium fills the washing chamber 13 .
  • the cleaning medium creates an electrical connection between the measuring area 8 of the level probe 7 and the ground area 14 of the electrically conductive closing element 12 .
  • a circuit is closed via this electrically conductive connection created by the cleaning medium, as a result of which current flows in the circuit. This current flow is measured and an existing current flow indicates that the cleaning medium has reached the filling element 1 .
  • the circuit can also be closed via the ground area 10 of the level probe 7 .
  • the ground area 10 of the filling level probe 7 or via both ground areas 14 and 10 depends on the details of the circuit used. With an electrically isolated closing element 12, the closing of the Circuit over the ground area 14 of the closing element 12, for example, not possible.
  • a controller registers that a current flow has been detected via the filling level probe 7 . This is advantageously recorded on a storage medium together with the date and time, so that the cleaning of the filling element 1 can also be verified later.
  • the recording can be made directly via the control or via a central data processing system of the filling machine to which the measurement result was forwarded.
  • the resistance between the measuring area 8 and the ground area 14 and/or 10 is also determined in a preferred embodiment variant.
  • the electrical conductivity of the cleaning medium can thus be calculated using a known factor, which results from the known geometry of the filling level probe 7 and the closing element 12 or is determined experimentally.
  • the electrical conductivity of the cleaning medium determined via the level probe 7 is compared with the known value of the electrical conductivity of the cleaning medium. If the values match within a certain tolerance, then there is a high probability that the correct cleaning medium has arrived in the washing compartment 13 . These values can also be recorded to enable later verification.
  • the electrical conductivity of the cleaning medium can also be measured with a conductivity measuring device 15 arranged in the gas channel 6 .
  • the conductivity measuring device 15 can of course also be arranged in the liquid channel 5 or in a more central gas or liquid channel.
  • the temperature of the cleaning medium at the level probe 7 can also be calculated via the known temperature dependence of the conductivity and the conductivity measured at the level probe 7.
  • the controller records at least the point in time at which the cleaning medium has reached all of the filling elements 1 to be cleaned. From this point in time, the next cleaning step is initiated—possibly after a specified exposure time for the cleaning medium.
  • FIG 2 shows an exemplary measuring circuit 16.
  • a voltage U is applied between the measuring area 8 and the ground area 10 or 14 via a series resistor Rv.
  • Voltage U is preferably a periodic voltage, so that electrolysis in measuring area 8 and/or ground area 10 or 14 can be avoided.
  • the voltage U can be a square-wave voltage or square-wave voltage. Alternatively, a sinusoidal AC voltage can also be used.
  • the cleaning medium forms a load resistance Rm between the measuring area 8 and the ground area 10 or 14.
  • the value of the load resistance Rm can be calculated using the voltage present between the measuring area 8 and the ground area 10 or 14, the known voltage U and the known size of the series resistor Rv The conductivity of the cleaning medium can then be calculated from this.
  • the determination of the load resistance Rm and thus the conductivity of the cleaning medium is most accurate when the series resistance Rv and the load resistance Rm have the same magnitude.
  • the series resistor Rv is designed to be adjustable. This setting of the series resistor Rv preferably takes place automatically.
