Definitions
- Container handling machine with closed space
- the invention relates to a container handling machine of the type mentioned in the preamble of claim 1.
- Container handling machines are e.g. Filling machines, capping machines, rinsers and the like. At higher power, they are designed in a rotating design, the treatment places receiving the containers are arranged on the circumference of the carousel and take the containers with them during the treatment.
- the generic construction is appropriate, in which the treatment stations are located in a closed space that can be exposed to a special atmosphere.
- This room can be operated with an inert atmosphere, e.g. CO2 or with sterilizing
- Atmosphere H2O2 are applied and thereby ensure a low-oxygen and low-germ treatment of the beverages, which is of primary importance for their filling quality.
- DE / PS 696569 shows such a construction in which a filling machine is arranged in a closed pot-like housing. The space thus formed is determined by the overall size of the machine and is of considerable volume.
- a special construction shows DE 19911517 AI. It shows a rotating filling machine, which is arranged overall in a housing that tightly encloses on all sides, which is also determined by the size of the machine and is therefore of considerable volume. .
- DE 19835369 Cl shows a special construction in which container treatment machines with their treatment stations arranged below protrude sealed from above into a room with a special atmosphere. This space is accessible for access underneath the machine and is therefore also of considerable volume.
- a disadvantage of the constructions according to the prior art is the considerable volume of the space exposed to the special atmosphere. In the event of malfunctions, the room must be opened. Then it is full of air and germs. The subsequent cleaning of the room before starting operations again is largely determined by its surfaces and the total volume. In the known large rooms, interruptions in operation that are necessary due to malfunctions or necessary machine conversions therefore take at least several hours.
- the object of the present invention is to design a generic treatment machine in such a way that interruptions in operation are shortened after the room is contaminated.
- the space according to the invention is designed as a ring tunnel, which in its cross section only has to let through the treatment stations with the containers. It can therefore be of very small cross-section. This significantly reduces its inner surfaces and volume. In the event of operational malfunctions that force the room to open or otherwise become dirty, the subsequent cleaning time is considerably reduced compared to known designs.
- the construction according to the invention is associated with little design effort and is also more cost-effective than the known large-scale constructions. The space requirement of the machine is also reduced.
- the invention can be used with individual machines and also with blocked machines.
- the features of claim 2 are preferably provided. In this way, the entry and exit stars in the ring tunnel can be accommodated whose peripheral location has a corresponding expansion of its stationary areas.
- Figure 1 is a highly schematic representation of an inventive
- Figure 2 is a plan view of the machine of Figure 1 and
- FIGS 3 and 4 detail representations from Figure 1 with variants of tunnel formation.
- Figure 1 shows a highly schematic view, with walls shown only with a line, in section through the axis of rotation a filling machine for filling bottles 1, which are made of plastic and have the neck collar 2 common today in such bottles, on which they are handled.
- the filling machine shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 has a frame 3 set up on the floor (not shown), from which a column 5 rotated by a motor 4 projects vertically.
- a carousel is attached to this with a circular plate 6, in the place of which spokes can also be provided, consisting of a horizontally arranged ring wall 7, which is connected to the outer edge of the circular plate 6 and, in the exemplary embodiment, can be formed integrally therewith.
- the carousel consists of a cylinder wall 8 arranged concentrically to the column, which likewise attaches to the outer edge of the circular plate 6.
- the ring wall 7 and the cylinder wall 8 are connected to one another in a sealed manner and are each formed as closed walls.
- the annular wall 8 is sealed through by a number of filling elements 9 (see FIG. 2), of which only the two lying in the sectional area are shown in FIG. 1 for the sake of simplifying the drawing.
- the filling elements 9 protrude with their outlet 10 having the container seal under the ring wall 7.
- a treatment station 12 is formed on each filling element 9 at the angle between the ring wall 7 and the cylinder wall 8.
- the carousel 7, 8 surrounding a stationary wall on supports 13 is set up stationary, which consists of wall parts 14, 15 and 16 angled in the exemplary embodiment.
- the stationary wall 14, 15, 16 surrounds the carousel 7, 8 in an annular manner and is sealed at its annular ends with ring seals 17, 18 on the one hand against the outer edge of the annular wall 7 and on the other hand against the cylinder surface 8. This forms a closed tunnel 7, 8, 14, 15, 16 surrounding the carousel 7, 8.
- the ring seals 17 and 18 can be used as sliding seals e.g. be formed with a rubber lip or, for example, as a non-contact labyrinth seals.
- the treatment places 12 shown are designed for receiving plastic bottles with a neck collar. You can also be designed for other containers, such as glass bottles or tin cans and then need instead of Holder 11 correspondingly lower standing plate on which the containers are placed.
- the feeding and removal of the bottles 1 to the filling machine shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 takes place in the usual way via a feeding conveyor 19 which transfers the bottles 1 under their collar 2 to an inlet star 20 which detects narrow pockets (not shown), which in turn transfers them passes to the treatment stations 12 of the filling machine.
- a feeding conveyor 19 which transfers the bottles 1 under their collar 2 to an inlet star 20 which detects narrow pockets (not shown), which in turn transfers them passes to the treatment stations 12 of the filling machine.
- the bottles are taken over in a corresponding manner from an outlet star 21 and transferred to a transporter 22 that transports them away.
- the remaining parts 15 ', 16' of the stationary wall are widened outwards, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
- the stars 20 and 21 are thus accommodated in an extension of the tunnel, the waves 23 of the stars 20 and 21, as shown in FIG. 1, passing through the stationary wall 15 'with an annular seal 24.
- the transporters 19 and 22 run into and out of the space enclosed by the stationary surfaces.
- openings (not shown) are provided which are provided to reduce the exchange of atmosphere, for example with container locks.
- a connection 25, 26 is provided on part 14 of the stationary wall in the area of stars 20 and 21. Through one of the connections, the special atmosphere held in the room can e.g. Sterile air, CO2 or H2O2 or the like are blown in and extracted through the other connection in order to maintain the quality of the special atmosphere and to compensate for losses.
- a capping machine is arranged downstream of the filling machine shown, it can be designed with an annular space of a corresponding construction, for example the transporting conveyor 22 of the filling machine shown forming the transporting conveyor 19 of the downstream machine and these can be arranged directly next to one another with the stationary walls.
- FIGS. 3 and 4 show variants of the tunnel space design for accommodating the treatment places 12. The same reference numerals are used as in FIGS. 1 and 2.
- Figure 3 shows a carousel in which the cylinder wall 8 of the embodiment of Figure 1 is missing.
- the tunnel around the treatment places 12 is formed by a stationary wall with wall surfaces 14, 15 and 16, which seal with the ring seals 17 and 18 against the ring wall 7 directly from below.
- the ring wall 7 is missing.
- the cylinder wall 8 here forms the circumferential wall of a boiler with filling elements 9 flanged to the circumference.
- the stationary walls 14, 15 and 16 seal with the ring seals 17 and 18 on the cylinder wall 8.
