Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a system with a device for filling containers with a filling product, preferably in a beverage bottling plant, and a device for optimizing treatment, and a method for treating, preferably cleaning and/or sterilizing and/or rinsing, a device for filling containers with a filling product.
  • the CIP treatment of a plant in the food industry is carried out by a CIP device.
  • the treatment medium for example water with caustic soda, nitric acid or peracetic acid
  • the treatment medium is prepared in the CIP device, mixed to the correct concentration if necessary, heated if necessary and then conveyed to the plant parts to be treated.
  • the steps of flow, return and circulation can be carried out in order to keep media mixing to a minimum.
  • the preparation, mixing, storage, transport of the treatment medium to the parts of the plant to be treated and any return of the treatment medium are carried out using a pipe system, tanks, Heat exchangers and other fluid technology devices that build the CIP device.
  • a multi-stage treatment process is usually carried out, for example a three-stage CIP process in the sequence water-lye-water.
  • An acid treatment is usually only carried out at irregular intervals.
  • the DE 10 2009 034 693 A1 describes such a multi-stage CIP process in which several media are used in chronological order during the cleaning and rinsing operation, in particular hot water, acid, lye and fresh water.
  • the formulation of the treatment medium and the course of the treatment process can be set or carried out as required, for example depending on the filling product with which the surfaces to be treated come into contact, a desired or prescribed degree of cleaning/sterilization and the like.
  • the EP 3 834 954 A1 describes in this context a CIP device with a CIP dosage branch, which is set up to meter a CIP concentrate into a CIP main component, as a result of which a needs-based treatment medium can be produced.
  • From the EP 3 834 954 A1 also discloses the use of a CIP concentration sensor to monitor the concentration of CIP concentrate in the treatment medium.
  • the CIP concentration sensor can be used to control the dosing of the CIP concentrate.
  • An automated or semi-automated optimization of the needs-based CIP treatment relies on information from the plant to be treated, in particular on plant-specific sensor equipment. Consequently, in the case of missing or faulty sensors, there may be insufficient or excessive treatment.
  • the function of sensors can be impaired by wear and tear, deposits, etc., or their application can be subject to structural restrictions, so that optimal positioning cannot be achieved, for example.
  • One object of the invention is to improve a treatment process such as cleaning and/or sterilizing and/or rinsing a device for filling containers, in particular to optimize the treatment in terms of resource consumption and/or cleaning or sterilization success.
  • the present invention relates to the treatment, in particular the cleaning and/or sterilizing and/or rinsing, of a device for filling containers with a filling product.
  • the device is particularly preferably used in a system for bottling drinks, for example water (still or carbonated), soft drinks, juices, smoothies, beer, wine, dairy products, mixed drinks, etc.
  • the present description distinguishes between regular operation of the device and a treatment or a treatment process.
  • the regular operation of the device relates to the filling of a filling product into containers, while the treatment of the device generally takes place, at least in some areas, outside of regular operation.
  • treatment includes the application of a treatment medium to components of the device that carry filling products for the purpose of cleaning and/or sterilizing and/or rinsing.
  • Filling product is also intended to include ingredients from which the final filling product is made.
  • the components can, for example, be part of a blending system for producing the filling product.
