Definitions

  • At least one-half of the length of the conveyor chain in front of the filling station is juxtaposed with a discharge mouth of a finished-container magazine opening directly into the sterile chamber.
  • a sterilizing-agent spray station which provides a sterilizing-agent path of action corresponding at least to the length of the lower course of the conveyor chain.
  • a nozzle pipeline system is provided over the entire length of the sterilizing-agent path of action. The nozzle pipeline system is fed optionally with a sterilizing agent and with sterile drying air, respectively, and is located in a plane below the conveyor chain.
  • the sterile chamber is subdivided into partial lengths along the upper course of the conveyor chain in the region on the sterile-chamber side of the filling, lid-applying and sealing stations by a screening provided with its own additional pressure-producing sterile-air feed and its own outlet.
  • the present invention relates to an apparatus for the sterile packaging of foodstuffs, for instance of dairy products or the like, in cup-shaped finished containers which, on an endless conveyor chain in sterile condition, in succession pass through a filling station, a lidapplying station, a sealing station and an ejection station.
  • a drum in which the finished containers are sterilized and then are delivered to the machine from said drum by means of a transfer device.
  • the apparatus at least over the entire length of its conveyor chain, is formed as a self-enclosed sterile chamber which is free of drive means and which has at least one half length of the conveyor chain in front of the filling station.
  • the discharge mouth of a finished-container magazine or feed means discharges directly into the sterile chamber.
  • a sterilizing-agent spray station Directly adjoining the chain is a sterilizing-agent spray station while a steriling-agent action path is formed which corresponds at least to the length of the lower course of the conveyor chain.
  • a nozzle pipeline system which can be fed selectively with a sterilizing agent or with sterile drying air and which is located in a plane below the conveyor chain.
  • the sterile chamber is subdivided predominantly over portions of the upper course of the conveyor chain in the regions of the filling, the lid-applying and sealing stations located on the sterile-chamber side, by a screen provided with its own sterile-air feed which in addition produces pressure.
  • the system of the present invention is particularly suited also for large, deep containers of large surface, since their sterilization has heretofore represented a real problem.
  • a nozzle pipeline system which can be fed optionally or selectively with sterilizing agents or with sterile drying air is provided over the entire range of the path of action of the sterilizing agent, this path of action of the sterilizing agent, which must necessarily be traversed by each of the finished containers supplied, can be additionally used, since not only does sufficient time remain for the action of the sterilizing agent, but in addition these sprayed containers can also be treated with sterile drying air, so that in this way the containers arrive absolutely sterile, and dry at the tilling station.
  • the present invention provides an additional screening, which shields the region of the filling, lid-applying and sealing stations on the sterile-chamber side. If because of the action of drying air, splatterings of a sterilizing agent come off from the containers, they are not brought, as a result of the screening, into the region of the treatment stations, so that the function of these stations is not impaired thereby.
  • This shield is formed as a trough which is provided with its own optional sterile-air or sterilizing-agent feed and with its own outlet for sterilizing agent.
  • the sterile chamber is divided, by at least one partition plate in a plane below the upper course of the conveyor chain and another partition plate in a plane above the lower course of the conveyor chain, into two elongated sterile duct chambers, which reduce the total volume of the chambers, form an upper and a lower duct shaft, and are connected with each other at both ends.
  • the reduction of the effective volume of the sterile chambers has a favorable effect on maintaining of the sterile. condition of the chamber and on the other hand reduces the danger of reinfection. Furthermore, the upper and lower courses of the conveyor chain are so separated from each other by the partitions, that splatterings of the sterilizing agent can no longer act detrimentally on the treatment stations operating in the re gion of the upper course under the action of the drying by the nozzle pipeline system within the path of action of the sterilizing agent.
  • the upper partition can be formed, at least over the region of the filling and the lid-applying stations, as a trough with an inclined bottom provided with outlet.
  • the upper partition fulfills a twofold purpose in that on the one hand it is able to represent a limitation for the upper tunnel or canal, while on the other hand it assumes the function of a trough.
  • the upper and lower partitions are formed with vertical partition walls as box frames open on both sides extending over the entire width of the sterile zone of the machine, one can use plates of a size which can easily be handled and can dispose transverse supports between such box frames in order to brace the machine or support the sealing station.
  • the discharge opening of the finished-container magazine can now be provided in the region of the upper course of the conveyor chain directly adjacent the ejection device which deforms or removes the filled, closed containers as the last treatment station for containers to be filled and have a sterile bridge consisting of a pair of nozzles.
  • the system of nozzle pipelines which optionally con duct sterilizing agent or sterile drying air comprises a number of individual pipes corresponding to the number of rows of conveyor chains located side by side, one line of the pipe being provided below each individual row of conveyor chain, each individual line of pipe of the pipeline system being surrounded by a separate protective jacket over a length corresponding to the region of spray of the sterilizing agent.
  • each individual row of conveyor chain which is occupied with finished containers has its own pipeline associated with it, in order to make the sterile treatment of the finished containers particularly effective, but in addition, due to the protective jacketing of each individual pipeline over parts of its length, assurance is provided that the spray deposit in the direct region of spray of the spray agent station is not subjected to premature drying. Rather, the spray agent has sufficient time to act on the containers, while the actual drying process takes place somewhat later. In addition, due to the jacketing, cooling of the pipes and evaporation of the dripping sterilizing agent is avoided.
  • the screening trough has associated with it a nozzle pipeline system consisting of a plurality of individual pipes acting between the rows of conveyor chains, said system being arranged at a distance over the screening and extending over the entire length thereof.
  • the lid-applying station is provided with a multi-arm lid-suction device, a sprayer, arranged in front of a lidsupporting arm provided with a lid, acts on said arm during the standstill time of each operating cycle.
  • FIG. 1 is a side elevational view, partly in section, of the apparatus, in accordance with the present invention
  • FIG. 2 is an end view thereof in section along the line IIII of FIG. 1, the apparatus being shown here only at the portion corresponding to the sterile chamber;
  • FIG. 3 is a side elevation, corresponding to FIG. I, of another embodiment with an upper and a lower tunnel chamber;
  • FIG. 4 is an end view corresponding with FIG. 2.
  • the filling device shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 of the accompanying drawing, is provided with a filling station 10 which can fill a measured quantity of a product from a feed 11. Furthermore, adjoining this filling station there is provided a lid-applicator station 12. Behind it is a sealing station 13. And finally there is also provided an ejection device 14 which removes the filled containers 15 from a conveyor chain 16, the containers being then moved away by means of a conveyor chain 17. Furthermore, this device is also provided with a magazine 18 which contains empty preformed containersl9.
  • the mouth 22 of the finished-container magazine 18 is inserted directly into the sterile chamber 21, so that the finished containers which are to be filled can be made sterile directly in the sterile chamber on the machine side.
  • This mouth point 22 is located at a point of the machine which is at least one half the length of a conveyor chain-in front of the filling station 10. In the embodiment shown by way of example, this mouth point 22 is provided directly adjoining the ejection device.
  • the conveyor chain 16 which is equipped with individual cells, as seen in FIG. I, of cup, shape, each adapted to receive one finished container, held by friction can as can be noted from FIGS. 2 and 4 be provided with a plurality of rows of cells lying alongside of each other.
  • a sterilizing agent spray device 23 which is adapted to spray the finished containers 19 conveyed by the conveyor chain 16 to the nozzle mouth.
  • the containers 19 which have now been sprayed start from this time on to pass through a sterilizing agent action path, this sterilizing agent action path being equipped over its entire length with a nozzle pipeline system 24 in such a manner, that a nozzle pipeline 24 is located below each conveyor-chain row.
  • each nozzle pipeline 24 is provided over a part of its axial length within the spray region with a jacketing 25 so that the sprayed sterilizing agent can act over this path.
  • the cells of the conveyor chain 16 containing the individual containers 19 have left the jacketed region 25, they come into the sphere of action of the nozzle pipes 24 through which sterile drying air is conveyed, and which is thereby able to dry the containers.
  • the sterile chamber 21 is developed on its bottom side as preferably a removable trough 26, which has a discharge connection 27 at at least one end.
  • nozzle pipeline system 24 can also be used, for instance before placing the apparatus in operation or during operation, for dispensing a sterile liquid for the purpose of purification or sterilization, this being followed by a drying with sterile drying air.
  • a shield in the form of a trough 28 which screens the region between the filling station and the sealing station 13 off in downward direction.
  • This screening trough is also provided with a discharge connection 29.
  • another nozzle pipeline system 30 which, lying in each case between the conveyor chain rows, can also be used to dispense a sterilizing agent or sterile drying air.
  • a multi-arm lid suction device which is capable of drawing the individual lids 31 off from a magazine 32 and then advancing them in synchronism past a sprayer 33 and then finally depositing them on the containers 19.
  • the design is such, that each suction arm which bears a lid 31 comes before the sprayer 33 during the standstill time of an operating cycle, so that sterilization of the lid is possible here as the result of a certain time of action.
  • the sterile chamber 21 is absolutely free of all drive means which, as can be noted in particular from FIG. 2, are provided outside of same.
  • the drive wheels 34 for the conveyor chain 17 are also provided outside the sterile chamber 21, as well as a drive (not shown) for the conveyor chain 16 and the drives of the treatment stations, so that the entire volume of the sterile chamber can be used completely for the sterilizing of the containers.
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 show a machine which is constructed in accordance with the same principle of treatment for the finished containers, as the machine shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • the only difference is the configuration of the sterile chamber 21 which is divided into an upper tunnel chamber 21a and a lower tunnel chamber 21b, by a partition plate 41 below the upper course and another partition plate 42 above the lower course.
  • These partition plates 41 and 42 may be connected with each other by vertical walls 43 and thus form box-like bodies. The space within these bodies can then be used for other purposes.
  • the conveyor chain 17 for the removal of the finished containers could be located herein, i.e., the empty course could be passed through here.
  • the partition plate 41 of the box frame present in the region of the filling and lidapplicator stations can be shaped as a trough 128 and have an outlet 29.
  • the preformed containers 19 which are charged at the mouth 22 into the sterile chamber 21 or 21a are first sprayed in the region of the sterilizing-agent spray device 23 and then dried by the nozzle pipeline system 24 in the region of the sterilizing-agent action path.
  • the containers which have been made absolutely sterile then pass into the region of the filling station 10, are filled there, and pass into the sphere of action ofthe lidapplication device 12, where the lids 31 are placed on.
  • a sealing station 13 sees to it that the lids which have been placed on are properly sealed.
