〔産業上の利用分野〕
本発明は、ベットボトル等の包装容器の殺菌方法に関す
る。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a method for sterilizing packaging containers such as bed bottles.
最近、各種の食料品を対象とした簡易包装用の容器とし
てペットボトル等のプラスチック容器が多く使用される
ようになってきた。一般にこれら包装容器は包装容器製
造工場で成形され、前記工場で作られた包装容器は梱包
されて別の場所に運ばれ無菌状態で内容物たるジュース
、コーラ等が充填される。内容物が容器内に充填される
前には無菌室で容器内面およびその外面が殺菌され、こ
の容器内外面の殺菌は常温又は加温した過酸化水素水溶
液を容器内外にスプレーするか、過酸化水素水溶液中に
容器を浸漬した後、ホットエアを吹きかけて容器を乾燥
させるようにして行なっていた。Recently, plastic containers such as PET bottles have come into widespread use as simple packaging containers for various foodstuffs. Generally, these packaging containers are molded at a packaging container manufacturing factory, and the packaging containers manufactured at the factory are packed and transported to another location, where they are filled with contents such as juice, cola, etc. in an aseptic condition. Before the contents are filled into the container, the inner and outer surfaces of the container are sterilized in a sterile room.The inner and outer surfaces of the container can be sterilized by spraying room temperature or heated aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution inside and outside the container, or using peroxide. This was done by immersing a container in an aqueous hydrogen solution and then blowing hot air to dry the container.
ところが、特に容器内面の殺菌においては容器内から殺
菌剤を完全に排出しなければならないばかりでなく容器
内面の乾燥工程も必要となり、殺菌装置が複雑になるば
かりでなく充填機自体が大型化するという欠点があった
。However, especially when sterilizing the inside of a container, not only must the sterilizer be completely discharged from the container, but also a process of drying the inside of the container is required, which not only complicates the sterilization equipment but also increases the size of the filling machine itself. There was a drawback.
本発明は、かかる点に鑑み、殺菌装置を簡略に、でき、
充填機自体から容器内部の殺菌乾燥装置を省くことがで
き、充填機自体を小型化できるとともに容器製造工場で
軽易に容器内部を殺菌でき、内部殺菌剤の容器をジュー
ス販売会社等に供給することができるような容器の殺菌
方法を提供することを目的とする。In view of these points, the present invention can simplify the sterilization device, and
The sterilizing and drying device inside the container can be omitted from the filling machine itself, making it possible to downsize the filling machine itself and easily sterilizing the inside of the container at a container manufacturing factory, making it possible to supply containers with internal sterilizer to juice sales companies, etc. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for sterilizing containers.
そこで、本発明は包装容器内にその入口から微量の殺菌
剤を滴下せしめて前記入口を密封し、包装材料への内容
物の充填前に無菌室内にて容器外面を殺菌剤で殺菌し、
その後容器入口を開封して内容物を充填せしめるように
した。Therefore, the present invention drips a small amount of sterilizing agent into the packaging container from its entrance to seal the entrance, and sterilizes the outer surface of the container with the sterilizing agent in a sterile room before filling the packaging material with the contents.
Thereafter, the container entrance was opened and the contents were filled.
容器製造工場で成形後に容器内にその入口から殺菌剤を
微量滴下せしめ、その入口を仮シール又は蓋で密封する
。密封された容器はジュース、コーラ等の充填販売会社
に供給され、そこでの充填作業前に無菌室内で先ず容器
外面が殺菌剤で殺菌される。外面殺菌後に仮シール又は
蓋が除去されて内容物が充填され、充填後に容器入口が
蓋によって密封される。After molding at a container manufacturing factory, a small amount of sterilizing agent is dripped into the container from its entrance, and the entrance is sealed with a temporary seal or lid. The sealed container is supplied to a filling and selling company for juice, cola, etc., and the outer surface of the container is first sterilized with a disinfectant in a sterile room before filling. After the outer surface is sterilized, the temporary seal or lid is removed and the contents are filled, and after filling, the container entrance is sealed by the lid.
このように、容器成形後に殺菌剤が少量容器内に滴下さ
れれば、殺菌剤は容器内で蒸発し容器内面を殺菌する。In this manner, if a small amount of sterilizing agent is dropped into the container after the container is formed, the sterilizing agent evaporates within the container and sterilizes the inner surface of the container.
したがって、充填前には容器内部の殺菌乾燥工程が省け
る。Therefore, the sterilization and drying process inside the container can be omitted before filling.
以下、図面を参照して本発明の一実施例について説明す
る。An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
図において、容器製造工場F1においては、たとえば、
ベットボトルである容器Cが成形後に搬送路1に沿って
順次搬送される。その搬送1の中間部上方にはノズル2
が設けられ、このノズル2からは容器Cの入口を通って
容器C内に例えば過酸化水素(H2O2)のような殺菌
剤が微量滴下される0次いで、殺菌剤が滴下された容器
Cの入口にはキャッパ−3によってlISが被せられる
。In the figure, in the container manufacturing factory F1, for example,
Containers C, which are bed bottles, are sequentially transported along the transport path 1 after being molded. Nozzle 2 is located above the middle part of conveyor 1.
A small amount of a disinfectant, such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), is dripped into the container C from the nozzle 2 through the inlet of the container C.Next, the inlet of the container C into which the disinfectant has been dropped is IIS is covered by capper 3.
このとき、容器Cは押え部材4によって押さえられその
回転が止められる。容器C内に滴下された殺菌剤は容器
内で蒸発し、その蒸気で容器内面は殺菌される。殺菌剤
の滴下量はH2O2の場合1、容器あたり1μm以上1
ml以下がよい、なお、容器Cは蓋でシールしてもよく
、他の手段で仮シールしてもよい、蓋が被せられた容器
Cはダンボール等の外箱り内に梱包されてジュース等の
販売会社に販売され、そこでの内容物の充填工程は無菌
室10内で行なわれる。その充填前に、外箱り内の容器
Cは取出装置11によってコンベア13上に載せられる
。コンベア13上の容器Cは適宜の手段によって一列に
整列され無菌室10内に送られそこで、容器外面が殺菌
される。この容器外面殺菌は例えば塩素水を噴霧装置1
4によって容器外面にスプレーすることによって行なう
。At this time, the container C is held down by the holding member 4 and its rotation is stopped. The disinfectant dropped into the container C evaporates within the container, and the inner surface of the container is sterilized by the vapor. The dropping amount of disinfectant is 1 for H2O2, 1 μm or more per container1
ml or less. Container C may be sealed with a lid, or may be temporarily sealed by other means. Container C with the lid covered may be packed inside an outer box such as cardboard and used for juice, etc. The product is sold to a sales company, and the filling process there is carried out in a sterile room 10. Before filling, the container C in the outer box is placed on the conveyor 13 by the unloading device 11. The containers C on the conveyor 13 are arranged in a line by appropriate means and sent into the sterile chamber 10, where the outer surfaces of the containers are sterilized. To sterilize the outer surface of the container, for example, chlorine water is sprayed onto the spray device 1.
4 by spraying on the outside of the container.
容器外面殺菌が終了した容器Cの入口からは蓋Sがデキ
ャッパ−15によって外される。次いで容器Cは内容物
の充填タンク16の充填ノズル17の直下に送られ、ジ
ュース、コーラ等の内容物が所定量容器C内に充填され
る。その後、容器Cの入口にはキャッパ−18によって
蓋Sが取付けられる。このキャッパ−18には前記デキ
ャッパ−15で取外された蓋Sが適宜の手段によって送
られ、この蓋が再使用される。蓋Sで密封された充填完
了容器Cは梱包されて各販売地に搬送される。A decapper 15 removes the lid S from the entrance of the container C whose outer surface has been sterilized. Next, the container C is sent directly below the filling nozzle 17 of the filling tank 16, and a predetermined amount of the contents such as juice or cola is filled into the container C. Thereafter, a lid S is attached to the entrance of the container C using a capper 18. The lid S removed by the decapper 15 is sent to this capper 18 by appropriate means, and this lid is reused. The filled container C sealed with the lid S is packed and transported to each sales location.
以上説明したように、本発明は容器成形後出荷前にH2
