する。Detailed Description of the Invention (Industrial Field of Application) The present invention relates to a method for filling canned beverages, and in particular to a method for adjusting the degree of vacuum in the head space of a can to a desired level when performing cold filling using a negative pressure can. The present invention relates to a method for filling beverages that can be adjusted to the desired value.

い。(Prior art) When negative pressure cans are used as beverage cans, if the degree of vacuum in the head space is too high, pressure may be applied from outside during retort sterilization or shocks received on the canning line can cause damage. On the other hand, if the degree of vacuum is too low, buckling (bulging deformation of the can) may occur due to thermal expansion of gas in the head space during sterilization.
This is undesirable because it causes inconveniences such as the inability to identify cans with abnormal expansion due to tampering with the contents by percussion.

の低い値に押えることは困難である。Conventionally, when producing canned goods containing non-carbonated beverages using a negative pressure can using a cold filling method, a carbon dioxide gas flow method has often been used as a method for deoxidizing the head space. In this method, the air in the head space of a can is replaced with carbon dioxide gas, and the degree of vacuum in the head space of a can is approximately 40 cIR11 g or more, and it is difficult to suppress the degree of vacuum to a value lower than this.
（発明が解決すべき問題点）
したがって炭酸ガスフローによれば、このような真空度
に対応して缶はかなりの缶強度を必要とし、これ以上缶
の薄肉化を図ることは困難である。(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) Therefore, according to the carbon dioxide flow, the can needs to have a considerable strength to cope with such a degree of vacuum, and it is difficult to reduce the thickness of the can further.

、本発明に到達した。As a result of repeated research and experiments to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present inventors have found that by supplying nitrogen gas and carbon dioxide gas at a predetermined ratio into the head space of a can, the desired result can be achieved in the case of cold filling. It has been discovered that a degree of vacuum can be obtained, and that the residual oxygen m in the head space can be kept below a permissible value, and the present invention has been achieved.

混合して混合ガスを作り、この混合ガスを缶に充填する
前に内容物に予め溶解させておくようにしてもよい。A method of supplying nitrogen gas and carbon dioxide gas into the headspace is to prepare a mixed gas by pre-mixing nitrogen gas and carbon dioxide gas at a predetermined ratio, fill the contents into a can, and then pour this mixed gas into the can. It is preferable to blow into the head space and tighten by undercover gutting. Another method of supplying nitrogen gas and carbon dioxide gas to the headspace is to prepare nitrogen gas and carbon dioxide gas at a predetermined ratio, dissolve the nitrogen gas in the contents in advance, and then pour the contents into the can. After filling, the carbon dioxide gas may be blown into the head space of the can by undercover gashing, and then the can is tightened. Alternatively, a mixed gas may be prepared by mixing nitrogen gas and carbon dioxide gas at a predetermined ratio, and the mixed gas may be dissolved in the contents before filling the can.

In the nitrogen gas/carbon dioxide mixed gas blowing device 1 shown in FIG. After the pressure is adjusted to the set pressure, the vL amount is adjusted by the flow rate adjustment knobs 4, 4, and the gas is sent to the gas mixer 5 and mixed. Note that 3.3 is a diversion meter. The mixed gas MG is sent to the undercover gashing device 7 via the pipe line 6, and after being filled with the contents from the nozzle 8a of the gashing turret 8, it is sent onto the lifter 10 via the clean feed table 9. It is blown into the head space between the can 11 and the can M12 before seaming, and replaces the air in the head space.

度をコントロールとした。Using the above mixed gas blowing device, mixed gases were prepared by varying the volume ratio of nitrogen gas and carbon dioxide gas, and the vacuum degree of the head space of the can into which each mixed gas was blown was measured. As shown in the graph in Figure 2, the content of the 1° can is 40°C.
~Hot water (indicated by a black circle) and 25°C hot water (indicated by an O circle)
For the cans, we used Teinfries Dill side seam adhesive color (202 diameter, 250 g). Filling amount is 24
5g, and the sterilization temperature was 65°C for 10 minutes. The degree of vacuum was also controlled when neither nitrogen gas nor carbon dioxide gas was used.

It is possible to obtain desired degrees of vacuum at various levels, which could not be obtained by conventional carbon dioxide flow methods, while keeping the degree of vacuum below the specified value. Therefore, the wall thickness of the can can be made thinner than that obtained by the conventional carbon dioxide gas flow method. Problems can be completely resolved.
