Abstract

In a system for delivering product from a product-delivering device (12) to open-topped cartons (2) being advanced by an indexing conveyor (6) and lifted by a lifter (27) to over a flexible nozzle (52) and a filling tube (22) of the device (12), at the end of production the device (12) and a jacket (38) are displaceable relative to each other to cause the nozzle (52) and the tube (22) to be received in the jacket (38). In that condition, the product can be drained into the jacket (38) and exit, via an outlet (50) at the lower end of the jacket, into flexible hosing (58). Then CIP can be commenced using either purified water or non-purified water. If desired, a sterilizing water agent such as steam can be introduced in a CIP manner into the device (12), the steam also being introduced through apertures (48) in the jacket (38). When new product is supplied to the system a purge programme is started to remove air from the system and, during this programme, a flushing water/new product mixture may be expelled from the device (12). If non-purified water has been used for CIP, a sterilizing agent in the form of alcohol or of a chemical agent is sprayed in from the nozzles (51). If a chemical agent is employed, then purified water is sprayed in from the nozzles (51) to flush it away.
