Definitions

  • Bottles, cans or analogous containers are transported by a conveyor which places successive containers into a predetermined position for filling with liquid.
  • a container is connected with the space above the supply of liquid so that its interior is filled with compressed gas and that the pressure in the interior of the bottle rises to equal the pressure at the upper level of the supply of liquid.
  • the liquid is thereupon permitted to flow into the container so that the latter is filled to a desired level whereby the inflowing liquid expels compressed gas back into the space above the liquid level in the vessel.
  • An object of the invention is to provide a novel and improved method of filling bottles, cans or other types of containers with liquids, particularly with a liquid which is adversely affected by contact with atmospheric air.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a method of filling bottles or analogous containers with liquids which can be introduced into the containers only upon complete expulsion of air.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide a method of filling bottles or like containers with liquids which should be kept out of contact with oxygen and which are to be stored in containers consisting of a material which is unable to withstand atmospheric pressure in response to a reduction of pressure in its interior to a relatively low subatmospheric pressure, i.e., to a pressure which is not much less than atmospheric pressure.
  • Still another object of the invention is to provide a novel apparatus for filling relatively weak (readily deformable) containers with liquids which are to be kept out of contact with air during filling as well as during storage.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide an apparatus which is sufi'iciently versatile to be useful in connection with filling of relatively sturdy or readily deformable containers consisting of vitreous, metallic or plastic material with different types of liquids, especially with beer or other liquids which are adversely affected by contact with air.
  • the method of the present invention comprises the steps of reducing the pressure in the interior of an open air-filled container to thereby evacuate some air from its interior and to reduce the pressure in the container to a pressure which is higher than the pressure at which the container is likely to undergo deformation or complete collapse in response to atmospheric pressure against its exterior, circulating through the thus evacuated container a stream of an inert gas to expel the remainder of air from its interior, raising the pressure of inert gas in the container by admitting additional inert gas into its interior, maintaining a supply of liquid under a pressure which at least approximates the raised pressure of inert gas in the container, and introducing pressurized liquid from the supply into the container with attendant filling of the container to a desired level and simultaneous expulsion of inert gas.
  • the pressure reducing step can begin simultaneously with the circulating step, and the method preferably further comprises the steps of reducing the pressure in the interior of the filled container and thereupon sealing the container.
  • the pressure raising step preferably comprises raising the pressure of inert gas in the container to a pressure equaling that to which the liquid is subjected dur ing introduction into the container.
  • the pressure reducing step comprises reducing the air pressure in the interior of the container to a pressure which is below the predetermined pressure to thus insure that the evacuation of some air prior to introduction of inert gas cannot result in partial deformation or complete collapse of the container.
  • FIG. I is a fragmentary schematic vertical sectional view of a filling apparatus which embodies the invention, a container being shown in a position which it assumes prior to evacuation of some air from its interior;
  • FIG. 2 illustrates the structure of FIG. 1 but with the gas-admitting valve open to pennit circulation of compressed inert gas from a source of supply through the container and into a suction chamber;
  • FIG. 3 shows the structure of FIG. I or 2 but with the container sealed from the suction chamber so as to raise the pressure of inert gas to a pressure which equals the pressure of a supply of pressurized liquid which is to be introduced into the container;
  • FIG. 4 illustrates the structure of FIG. 1, 2 or 3 during introduction of liquid into the container.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a portion of a ring-shaped vessel or tank I which contains a source of supply L of liquid and a source of supply 16 of gas which is compressed to subject the liquid to a predetermined pressure.
  • the liquid is assumed to be beer or another liquid which is affected by contact with oxygen in the air, and the gas forming the supply 16 is assumed to be an inert gas which does not react with such liquid.
  • the tank 1 is surrounded by a suction chamber 2 provided with one or more adjustable flow restrictors 11 which maintain the interior of the chamber at a predetermined but variable pressure.
  • the chamber 2 is connected with a fan 2a or other suitable suction generating means.
  • the bottom wall of the tank 1 supports a plurality of equidistant valve bodies or blocks 3 (only one shown) each of which contains a normally closed liquid-admitting valve 4 which is opened automatically (see FIG. 4) at a certain stage of a filling operation to admit a stream of pressurized liquid from the supply L into the interior of a bottle, can or analogous container 13 while the container is held in a predetermined position with reference to the respective block 3.
  • the means for supporting the container 13 in such position includes a suitable conveyor C.
  • the block 3 is further provided with a pressure relief valve 5, a gas-admitting valve 6 and a further valve 7 which can connect the interior of the container 13 with the suction chamber 2 by way of a conduit 10.
  • the block 3 defines a seat 40 for the valve 4 and the latter carries a downwardly extending pipe 8 which enters the opening at the top of the container 13 and extends into the interior of such container when the latter is held in the illustrated position.
  • the pipe 8 can admit compressed gas from the supply 16 into the container 13 in response to opening of the valve 6. Furthermore, the pipe 8 can convey gas from the container 13 back to the supply 16 when the valve 4 is open to admit into the container a predetermined quantity of liquid.
  • the block 3 is further provided with an internal compartment 9 which is normally sealed from the tank 1 by the valve 4 and communicates with the suction chamber 2 when the valve 7 is open.
  • the block 3 carries a ring-shaped sealing portion 17 and a centering bell 12 which is pressed against the sealing portion 17 when the container 13 is held in the illustrated position.
  • the portion 17 then seals the in terior of the container 13 from the surrounding atmosphere.
  • the valve 6 is connected to an elongated control member 14 which can be actuated from without the tank 1 to admit gas from the supply 16 into the container 13 or vice versa.
  • An adjustable control cam can move the valve 6 and/or 7 to open position during a selected stage of movement of the container 13 with the tank 1.
  • the conveyor C moves the container 13 into engagement with the sealing portion 17 whereby the neck 13a of the container is centered by the bell 12.
  • the container 13 then moves along an are about the axis of the tank 1 which also rotates about such axis so that the neck 13a remains in registry with the sealing portion 17 and the pipe 8 extends into the interior of the container.
  • the control cam 15 thereupon opens the valve 7 so that the suction chamber 2 is connected with the interior of the container 13 by way of the conduit 10 whereby the fan 2a withdraws from the container a certain amount of air so that the pressure in the container drops to a pressure which is still above that pressure at which the wall of the container is likely to be deformed by atmospheric pressure.
  • the cam 15 is mounted on a frame (not shown) which supports the tank 1.
  • This cam 15 opens the valve 6 so that the partially evacuated container 13 receives a stream of gas from the supply 16; such gas is caused to circulate in the interior of the container as shown in FIG. 2 and is drawn into the suction chamber 2. The circulation of gas is continued until the interior of the container 13 is filled only with gas, i.e., until the evacuation of last traces of oxygen is completed.
  • control cam 15 causes or permits the valve 7 to close while the valve 6 remains open so that the pipe 8 continues to admit compressed gas into the interior of the container 13 until the pressure in the container equals that which prevails above the upper level of the supply L of liquid in the tank 1. This is shown in FIG. 3.
  • the control means of the apparatus causes the valve 4 to open (or the valve 4 opens automatically under the weight of the body of liquid in the tank 1) so that the liquid is free to flow into the container 13 (see FIG. 4) with attendant expulsion of inert gas through the pipe 8 and back into the supply 16 above the supply of liquid in the tank 1.
  • the valve 4 closes when the container 13 is filled to a desired level, and the valve 5 is caused to open so as to reduce the pressure in the filled container.
  • the sealing step (not shown) follows the reduction of pressure in the container 13 in response to opening of the valve 5 while the valve 6 is closed.
  • the apparatus of the present invention can be used for filling of expendable or reusable bottles, cans or like containers.
  • the flow restrictor 11 is adjustable to insure that the pressure in the interior of a container 13 which assumes the illustrated predetermined position cannot be reduced to a pressure at which the container is likely to undergo deformation in response to pressure of atmospheric air against its external surface.
  • the length of the interval during which the valve 6 is held in open position simultaneously with the valve 7 depends on the pressure in the suction chamber 2 and should be long enough to insure complete evacuation of air from the container prior to closing of the valve 7 (while the valve 6 remains open) and attendant rise of gas pressure in the container.
  • the pressure in the chamber 2 is adjusted by the flow restrictor l l in such a way that the drop of air pressure in the container on opening of the valve 7 but prior to opening of the valve 6 cannot result in undue deformation of the container walls in response to atmospheric pressure against the external surfaces of the container. It was found that regulation of pressure in the chamber 2 by way of one or more adjustable flow restrictors 11 is more convenient and takes up less time than an adjustment or replacement of the suction generating means 20.
  • the control means of the filling apparatus can be adjusted to open the valve 6 simultaneously with opening of the valve 7 so that the evacuation of air from the container begins simultaneously with circulation of inert gas through the interior of the container.
  • the cam preferably forms part of a system of cams or analogous control means (which can be mounted at different levels on the frame of the filling apparatus) serving to effect opening and closing of valves 4, 5, 6, 7 in a predetermined sequence, for predetermined intervals of time and at predetermined times.
  • the cams are adjustable to insure that the apparatus can be converted for filling of larger, smaller, thinwalled, thick-walled, elastically deformable or nonelastic containers.
  • the adjustment of control means is preferably such that the length of intervals allotted for circulation of inert gas through the containers invariably suffices to insure complete evacuation of air even if the pressure of gas which forms the supply 16 varies within a relatively wide range and even if the opening of valve 6 takes place simultaneously with opening of the valve 7.
  • a method of filling bottles, cans or analogous containers with liquids, particularly with liquids which are adversely affected by contact with air comprising the steps of reducing the pressure in an open air-filled container to thereby evacuate some air from the interior of such container; circulating through the thus evacuated container a stream of inert gas to expel the remainder of air from the container; raising the pressure in the container by admitting additional inert gas into the interior thereof; maintaining a supply of liquid under a pressure which at least approximates the raised pressure in the container; and introducing pressurized liquid from such supply into the container with attendant filling of the container and simultaneous expulsion of compressed gas.
  • said pressure raising step comprises raising the pressure of inert gas in the container to a pressure which equals the pressure to which the supply of liquid is subjected during introduction of liquid into the container.
  • Apparatus for filling bottles, cans or analogous containers with liquids, particularly with liquids which are adversely affected by contact with air comprising a source of pressurized liquid; means for supporting an open air-filled container in a predetermined position with reference to said source and for sealing the interior of the container from the atmosphere; first valve means openable to permit liquid to flow from said source into the container in said position; a suction chamber; second valve means openable to connect said chamber with the container in said position to thereby evacuate some air from such container; a source of compressed inert gas; third valve means openable to connect said source of inert gas with the container in said position; and control means for effecting opening and closing of said valve means in a predetermined sequence to effect first partial evacuation of air from and circulation of inert gas through the container in said position whereby the circulating gas evacuates the remaining air from the container, to thereupon raise the pressure of inert gas in the container, and to thereupon admit pressurized liquid into and to simultaneously expel gas from the container.
  • control means is arranged to open said third valve means in the open position of said second valve means and to effect closing of said second valve means prior to closing of said third valve means.
  • control means is adjustable to change the length and timing of intervals during which at least one of said valve means remains in open position.
  • Apparatus as defined in claim 6, further comprising a vessel for said sources, said second source being adjacent to the upper level of liquid in said first mentioned source so that the compressed gas pressurizes the liquid.
