Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and apparatus for closing a filled container, and to such a container when closed and filled.
  • Containers such as cans, bottles, or wide mouthed containers for beer and other carbonated beverages, for example, are generally filled and closed on automated filling lines.
  • some of the content may spill, slop or foam onto the exterior of the container.
  • foam is deliberately produced during filling to purge the headspace at the opening of the container of oxygen and/or other contaminants.
  • the container is a can and has an end member seamed thereon after filling
  • the can can be washed to remove any residues or other contamination.
  • the closure is to be mechanically engaged on the opening of the container, for example, is a screw closure, then the area around the opening which is contacted by the interior of the closure will be hidden from any subsequent cleaning process.
  • Beer, and other carbonated beverages contain sugar. If the sugar remains on screw threads or other engaging means on the exterior of a container it will act as an adhesive when a closure is engaged thereon. This can make it subsequently very difficult for the consumer to open the container. This is particularly significant with a wide mouthed drinking vessel as shown in European patent no. 0578711.
  • European patent 0975527 shows a two-part screw closure for such a container which is designed to keep the opening torque low. However, if the screw threads of the closure become adhered to those of the container, even that closure becomes unopenable.
  • the present invention seeks to overcome or reduce the problems which can arise on the filling of containers, as outlined above.
  • a method of closing a filled container comprising the steps of: temporarily closing the filled container by holding a first closure member in position to close the container opening; cleaning the exterior of the container whilst it is temporarily closed, and applying a second closure member to said container opening to seal the filled container.
  • the temporary closure protects the contents of the container from contamination by the cleaning process whilst enabling the exterior of the container to be cleaned. Once cleaning has been completed, the container opening may be sealed.
  • the first closure member which is to be subsequently discarded, may be a plate or other closure which is held in position on the container opening by pressure applying means such as an arm.
  • the temporary closure may be part of the arm and subsequently reused. Where there is reuse of the first closure member, of course, it will be necessary to arrange for the first closure member to be cleaned.
  • the second closure member which is used to seal the container opening, may be of any type and/or configuration required.
  • the second closure member may be a one part closure, or may be a two-part or a multi-part closure.
  • the closure used to seal the filled container is a two-part closure, for example, as described in European patent 0975527.
  • the closure in this patent specification has a first part which extends across the opening and a second depending rotatable part which screws onto the container to hold the first closure member in position to seal the container.
  • Such an arrangement is particularly suited to a method of an embodiment of the invention where the temporary closure of the container may be by way of the first part of the two-part closure, which is subsequently retained in position to seal the container by the second part of the two-part closure.
  • said second closure member is applied to the container to hold said first closure member in position, such that said first and second closure members together seal the filled container.
  • the multi-part closure may incorporate a jetting device and/or an oxygen scavenging part.
  • a jetting device and/or an oxygen scavenging part.
  • part of the multi-part closure forms said second closure member.
  • the container Whilst the filled container is temporarily closed, the container is cleaned in any appropriate manner.
  • the exterior of the container may be cleaned by spraying a fluid at that exterior.
  • the fluid may be water or air.
  • high pressure jets of water and air may be used as alternatives or in sequence.
  • the exterior of the container may be cleaned by brushing.
  • the further treatments performed may apply fungicides, and/or antibacterial agents to the exterior of the container.
  • the exterior of the container is dried whilst the container is temporarily closed.
  • the container has been filled with a foodstuff, such as a carbonated beverage.
  • a foodstuff such as a carbonated beverage.
  • a method of the invention finds particular utility where the carbonated beverage is beer.
  • a method of the invention further comprises the step of applying nitrogen into the container by way of its opening before said first closure member is held thereon.
  • the nitrogen may be used, for example, to purge the headspace of oxygen.
  • a jetting device is inserted into said container before the container opening is sealed by the application of said second closure member. The nitrogen is taken into the jetting device to charge it ready for subsequent use.
  • a method of the present invention is not restricted to use with any particular type of container, it does find particular usefulness where the container opening is an unrestricted mouth opening and has a diameter which exceeds 30mm, and generally exceeds 45mm.
  • the 45mm size can generally be taken to divide bottles with narrow mouths from containers with wide mouths. Where a container has a wide, unrestricted, mouth opening, there is likely to be a larger problem of spillage of the container contents than with narrow necked containers.
  • the second closure member may be seamed, bonded, clipped, push fitted, screwed onto or otherwise appropriately engaged on the container to seal the filled container.
  • first interengaging means are provided on said second closure member, and second interengaging means are provided on said container, said first and second interengaging means being engaged when the second closure member is applied to the container, and wherein said first closure member is held in position during cleaning such that the second interengaging means are accessible and thereby subject to the cleaning.
