Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for the sterile filling of containers with a product.
  • the method includes after filling the container with the product and before sealing it, introducing liquid nitrogen into the container, and then sealing the container.
  • the present invention also relates to an installation for the sterile filling of containers with a product, wherein the installation has at least one conveyance system for the containers, at least one filling station, at least one dosing system for liquid nitrogen, and at least one sealing station for sealing the containers.
  • Sterile filling of the container with the product requires not only that the product itself and the container to be filled are sufficiently sterile, but also that the liquid nitrogen and the conveying lines and switching elements for the liquid nitrogen are sufficiently sterile.
  • prior-art systems it is possible, for example, to sterilize the entire filling plant with superheated steam before a production run. The superheated steam is carried through all of the connecting lines that are used.
  • the object of the invention is to improve a method of the aforementioned type in such a way that improved conditions of sterility are realized.
  • this objective is achieved in such a way that a dosing system for the liquid nitrogen is sterilized at least once with hydrogen peroxide and that the containers are conveyed along at least one linear conveyance path from a filling station to the area of the dosing system.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide an installation of the aforementioned type in a way that is conducive to achieving a high degree of sterility.
  • this object is achieved in that the dosing system is coupled with a sterilization unit, which is connected with a supply system for supplying hydrogen peroxide, and that the conveyance system is a linear conveyor for at least part of its length.
  • the sterilization of the liquid nitrogen dosing system with hydrogen peroxide makes it possible to carry out a dry sterilization and thus to avoid the formation of condensate.
  • the use of hydrogen peroxide as a sterilizing agent makes it possible to dispense with a sealing element in the area of the filling head.
  • a preferred use is in cold aseptic filling.
  • Designing the conveyance line as a linear conveyance path along at least part of its length allows a sufficiently long period of time for the vaporization of the liquid nitrogen to occur.
  • the period of time from the dosing of the liquid nitrogen to pressure-tight sealing of the container is usually well below 0.5 seconds.
  • the use of a linear conveyance line allows corresponding vaporization times on the order of 12 seconds and is thus conducive to almost complete displacement of foreign gases from the headspace of the container above the product filling by the nitrogen.
  • a typical degree of sterility with respect to spore-forming microorganisms is log 5 and preferably log 6 .
  • a sterility of log 12 is preferably achieved.
  • the linear conveyance path is placed in the vicinity of a linear filler.
  • the proportion of nitrogen in the headspace can be still further increased by carrying out a pressure-tight sealing of the container at no less than ten seconds after the liquid nitrogen has been dosed.
  • the sterilization with hydrogen peroxide is carried out as part of a maintenance program.
  • the sterilization with hydrogen peroxide be carried out at predetermined intervals of time.
  • the liquid nitrogen flushes the headspace of the filled container during its vaporization.
  • the conveyance system has at least two conveyance paths that are parallel to each other.
  • the dosing system comprises at least one dosing valve operated with compressed gas.
  • the dosing valve be connected with the hydrogen peroxide supply via a connecting line and a shutoff valve.
  • Systematic flow of the hydrogen peroxide towards the dosing valve is achieved by providing a supply line for the hydrogen peroxide downstream of the shutoff valve in the direction of flow of the nitrogen.
  • Additional valves make it possible to realize systematic sterilization of all nitrogen-carrying pipelines and the dosing valve in the direction of flow of the nitrogen.
  • Another sterilization possibility consists in providing a supply line for hydrogen peroxide in the direction of flow of the nitrogen in an initial section of a distributor line.
  • a simple design is realized if a nitrogen nozzle connected to the dosing valve is designed open in the area of its expansion facing away from the dosing valve.
  • the dosing system is positioned downstream of the filling station and upstream of the sealing station with respect to the direction of conveyance of the containers.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic side view of a filling machine
  • FIG. 2 is a greatly simplified diagram that illustrates the filling of the containers and the dosing of the liquid nitrogen
  • FIG. 3 is a schematic drawing of the components used for supplying the liquid nitrogen
  • FIG. 4 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of a nitrogen nozzle.
  • FIG. 1 is a side view of a typical construction of a filling machine in the form of a linear filler.
  • the filling machine has a bottle feed system 4 and a bottle sterilization unit 5 .
  • a filling station 6 is installed downstream of the bottle sterilization unit 5 in the direction of conveyance of the bottles to be filled, and a sealing station 7 is installed downstream of the filling station 6 in the direction of conveyance of the bottles.
  • the filled and sealed bottles are removed from the area of the filling machine by a bottle extraction system 8 .
  • the filling machine is equipped with an exhaust system 1 , a valve manifold 2 and an operating unit 3 .
  • the operating unit 3 can comprise a touchscreen and additional operating elements.
  • FIG. 2 shows schematically how a filling operation is carried out with a direction of conveyance 10 of the bottles 9 from right to left.
  • a first filling module 11 and a second filling module 12 of the filling station 6 are arranged in succession in the direction of bottle conveyance 10 .
  • the bottles 9 are filled to the extent of about one third to two thirds in the first filling module 11 , and the filling of the bottles is completed in the second filling module 12 .
  • a liquid nitrogen dosing system 13 is positioned downstream of the filling station 6 .
  • the dosing system 13 is connected with a nitrogen supply system 14 .
  • the sealing station 7 consists of a first sealing module 15 and a second sealing module 16 . In the first sealing module 15 , caps (not shown) are first placed loosely on the bottle 9 , and a pressure-tight seal is then produced in the second sealing module 16 .
  • a conveyance system 17 for the bottles 9 is a linear conveyor.
  • the conveyance system 17 can be, for example, a chain conveyor that is guided over guide wheels 18 , 19 .
  • a plurality of conveyance systems 17 run next to one another. This allows parallel arrangement of a plurality of handling elements in the area of the individual stations, so that the machine capacity can be multiplied according to the number of parallel conveyance lines.
  • sterilization is carried out with the use of hydrogen peroxide.
  • the hydrogen peroxide is preferably mixed with hot air.
  • the sterilization can be carried out in several successive sterilization units. After they have been sterilized and before they are filled, the bottles 9 are typically dried. This can be done with hot air.
  • several drying units are typically arranged in succession in the direction of conveyance 10 .
  • the hot air in each drying unit has a temperature of at least 100° C., so that sterility is guaranteed.
  • conveyance of the bottles 9 through the filling machine is timed. With each timed stroke, the bottles 9 are carried the same distance farther along the line. When two sterilization modules are used, the sterilization is thus carried out over the length of two timed strokes, and when four drying modules are used, the drying is carried out over the length of four timed strokes.
  • Each bottle 9 is assigned to the first filling module 11 for one timed stroke and to the second filling module 12 for another timed stroke.
  • the bottles 9 are preferably sealed with the use of caps that have an internal thread that engages an external thread on the mouth of the bottle 9 .
  • the second sealing module 16 thus carries out a rotation of the cap relative to the bottle 9 .
  • FIG. 3 shows a typical design of a nitrogen supply system 14 .
  • An internal chamber 20 of a heat exchanger 21 is filled with liquid nitrogen, which is received from a nitrogen supply line 22 . After it leaves the heat exchanger 21 , it is fed to a surrounding environment, in which vaporization causes the nitrogen to cool.
  • a line 24 is installed, through which sterile nitrogen is carried.
  • This gaseous nitrogen is fed to the heat exchanger 21 and is subsequently removed from it in liquid form.
  • the sterile gaseous nitrogen is thus liquefied by heat transfer as it passes through the line 24 . It is then fed to a distributor line 25 .
  • a plurality of dosing valves 26 is connected to the distributor line 25 according to the number of parallel conveyance paths. These dosing valves 26 together form the dosing system 13 .
  • the dosing valves 26 are preferably controlled by compressed gas and have a compressed gas connection 27 for this purpose.
  • a sterilization valve which is integrated in the nitrogen supply system upstream of the heat exchanger 21 , and various other valves make it possible for hydrogen peroxide to be systematically admitted into all of the pipelines that carry nitrogen and into the dosing valve.
  • the hydrogen peroxide then flows through the nitrogen nozzles 31 and other components into the sterile zone of the machine and is exhausted.
  • FIG. 4 shows an enlarged cross-sectional view of the nitrogen nozzle 31 , which extends through a wall 32 of the filling station 6 . Only a cover sleeve 33 that partly encloses the nitrogen nozzle 31 is located in the sterile zone 34 . All other components of the nitrogen supply system 14 are located outside the sterile zone 34 .
  • the nitrogen nozzle 31 is preferably mounted only with a nut or a cover sleeve 33 and without the use of an adapter.
  • the installation of the invention can be used, for example, for the filling of noncarbonated products.
  • the internal pressure produced by the nitrogen stabilizes the container.
  • the nitrogen nozzle 31 is formed as an extension of a nozzle carrier 35 .
  • the nozzle carrier 35 can be positioned with the use of an outer flange 36 in the vicinity of a connection 37 , which extends out from the wall 32 in the direction that faces away from the sterile zone 34 . This makes it possible in a simple way for the nozzle carrier 35 with the nitrogen nozzle 31 to be placed on the connection 37 , which is supported by the wall 32 .
  • the nozzle carrier 35 is located outside of the sterile zone 34 .
  • the nozzle carrier 35 is located outside the sterile zone 34 , and only the nitrogen nozzle 31 itself extends within the cover sleeve 33 into the sterile zone 34 .
  • the nozzle carrier 35 has an external thread 38 , onto which the cover sleeve 33 is screwed with an internal thread 39 .
  • the threads ( 38 , 39 ) are preferably as fine-pitch threads.
  • the cover sleeve 33 can be sealed relative to the wall 32 by an O-ring 40 , which is pressed against the wall 32 by the cover sleeve 33 .
  • the threads 38 , 39 can be sealed relative to the sterile zone 34 with the use of an O-ring 41 , which is fixed between the nozzle carrier 35 and the cover sleeve 33 .
  • the joining technique explained above is also conducive to automatic foam cleaning with the use of a foam cleaning agent.
  • the foam cleaning is typically carried out before the disinfection with the use of hydrogen peroxide.
