Definitions
- the present invention relates to a bottle filling valve, particularly adapted to hot fill plastic bottles with alimentary liquids, such as fruit juice, isotonic beverages, milk and other similar beverages, and to a corresponding system comprising a plurality of filling valves.
- alimentary liquids such as fruit juice, isotonic beverages, milk and other similar beverages
- a pasteurization process is generally applied, which consists in heating the foodstuff in order to reduce or suppress the presence of certain microorganisms.
- a pasteurization process is generally applied, which consists in heating the foodstuff in order to reduce or suppress the presence of certain microorganisms.
- fruit juice, tea or isotonic beverages one of the most common methods for avoiding the pasteurized beverage from being contaminated again before packaging is to fill the containers while maintaining the beverage itself over a certain temperature. Such a temperature depends on the type of product and duration of the treatment itself. Once the container has been sealed, the foodstuff is then allowed to cool. Furthermore, when the hot filling process is carried out using PET bottles, it has some particularities which require the solution of some specific problems.
- a first problem to be solved consists in heating each filling valve along with the filling system before starting the filling process to avoid the product from cooling down, which would compromise the effectiveness of the thermal treatment cycle.
- a step of pre-heating occurs by activating an appropriate recirculation circuit, first by circulating hot water and then circulating the hot foodstuff which is sent to a recovery circuit without ending up in the bottle.
- a transitional step of recirculating the flow, called in-valve recirculation step is thus contemplated in these cases.
- a second problem to be solved is that of upturning the bottle for a few seconds immediately after closing the cap in order to make the beverage, which is still hot, lap on the internal surfaces of the cap and neck of the bottle which emerge from the liquid, the so-called "head space", thus subjecting them to a thermal treatment which is the more effective the smaller the extension of such surfaces. For this reason, a high level is normally required in the bottle after filling, which level is often not reachable by the deflection systems of the prior art.
- a third problem is related to the fact that the filling process of several products, particularly at high temperature, tends to cause the formation of foam. Such a foam should be removed before capping because it will dissolve once the container has been closed, thus causing an undesired lowering of the level.
- step of in-valve recirculation should be activated both to avoid the system from cooling down, in particular the product close to the closed valves waiting for being bottled, and the step of in-bottle recirculating to avoid the product in the previously filled bottles from cooling down before capping, which event would cause the bottles to be rejected.
- the in-bottle or in-valve recirculated product is advantageously recovered, cooled and introduced into a tank, from where it is gradually disposed of by adding a percentage of new product to be pasteurized.
- This percentage of product which is subjected to a second pasteurization should be maintained at values as low as possible to prevent decaying the organoleptic features of the final beverage.
- a system needs therefore to be adopted for monitoring the amount of liquid recirculated in the bottle in order to minimize the amount according to the type of product, the type of bottle and the production frequency each time. In the frequent case of bottles with a small diameter neck, the passing section made available for filling and for evacuating foams is limited.
- the parts above the bottle should preferably be as free as possible of gaps and hidden points which are difficult to be washed, or sliding elements such as bushings and seals which, being subject to wear, leave deposits and residues.
- valve body defining therein a space for the passage of a filling liquid and provided with a hole for introducing said liquid into one of said containers, - a first shutter of said hole, sliding within the valve body, wherein said first shutter is provided with a sealing element at a first end thereof, which is suited to fluid-tightly close the hole and configured so as to define, in cooperation with a bottom of the valve body, a siphon between said space and said hole, and wherein a liquid deflection element is accommodated in said hole, configured so as to confer a rotational component to the liquid which crosses it, which permits the liquid itself to adhere to the walls of the container during the step of filling, said deflection element being integrally fixed to and directly in contact with said first end of the first shutter.
- a second aspect of the present invention provides for a method of filling a container with a filling liquid by means of the aforesaid filling valve which in accordance with claim 15 comprises the steps of:
- the system of the invention advantageously provides for the presence of a drainable siphon, so as to avoid undesired stagnations of liquid by virtue of the internal recirculation valve which, being arranged in an appropriate position, allows to completely empty the siphon.
- the deflection system within the filling valve body is shaped so that it does not get obstructed when filling with products containing pulps.
- the deflection system advantageously has a series of passages for orienting the product flow thus conferring a centrifugal component thereto, which is sufficient to ensure the liquid adherence to the bottle walls, thus overcoming the edges within the profile of the bottle itself.
- a further advantage is offered by including a pneumatic actuator of the main shutter of the filling valve inside the body of the moving carriage thus avoiding possible leakage of compressed air from coming in contact with the product to be bottled.
- connection between the main shutter of the filling valve and the corresponding actuator is simple from the constructional point of view, because it include a few, simple parts, and further allows easy maintenance by virtue of the disconnection ease between the aforesaid two components, while ensuring the total separation between pneumatic body and product passage channels for hygienic reasons.
- the filling system is able to process beverages containing pulps, filaments and cells;
- the piezo load or filling pressure is also reduced, thus the pressure in the bottle is also reduced, allowing to work with lighter bottles.
- the system combines a simplification of the components with a reduction of structure costs (valve area, controls, faucet cam, base) in addition to improving cleaning inside and outside and improving the performance of the actuating system.

- Figure 9 shows a bottle filling system comprising filling valves according to the invention.
- Figure 10 shows a diagram of the filling roundabout in which the angles related to the various steps of the bottling process are highlighted.
- the filling valve of the invention is suited to hot fill (up to 95°C) PET bottles with low viscosity beverages (kinematic viscosity
- beverages responding to the indicated requirements are: tea, Gatorade and isotonic beverages, soy sauce, soy milk, balsamic vinegar, 50% peach/apple/pear/banana nectar, pineapple juice, vitamin beverages such as ACE, apple juices or 100% citrus fruit juices.
- the bottles sizes may be from 100 and 3500 ml in size and have mouths with external diameter from 28 to 38 mm and internal diameter to a minimum of 17 mm.
- the aforesaid filling valve indicated as a whole by numeral 1 in Fig. 1 , comprises:
- valve body 2 to which the filling liquid is fed through a flexible pipe 3;
- a first shutter 4 accommodated within said valve body 2, comprising a control stem 15 and, at the lower end of the latter, a sealing element 16 made of elastomeric or other suitable material adapted to adhere to the internal bottom of the valve body 2;
- siphon 5 for controlling the filling level, defined by the internal bottom of the valve body 2 and the sealing element 16;
- in-valve deflection system 6 which allows the flow from the valve body 2 to the bottle without turbulences and without introducing deflection elements into the bottle itself;
- a recirculation valve 1 ' comprising a second shutter 9, with corresponding pneumatic actuator 10, engaged on the main valve body 2, with the two-fold function of allowing in-valve recirculation during the steps of preheating and maintaining the temperature when the machine is stopped, and of completely draining the siphon 5 inside the valve at the end of the internal washing procedures.
- Arranging the pneumatic actuator 7 of the main shutter 4 of the filling valve inside the moving carriage 11 avoids possible leakage of compressed air from coming in contact with the product to be bottled, because the actuation part of the filling valve, comprising the actuator 7, and the processing part of the valve itself comprising the shutter 4, i.e. the part in which the liquid to be bottled flows, are physically separate and connected by means of simple fastening means, such as a ring nut and two screws, for example.
- Siphon 5 for controlling the filling level of the bottles is actuated by actuator 7 which lifts or lowers the shutter 4 and thus the sealing element 16 integral therewith.
- This sealing element 16 is substantially hat-shaped.
- the bottom of the valve body 2 is provided with an annular protrusion 19 which defines the siphon 5, in cooperation with the sealing element 16.
- the deflection system 6 for deflecting the liquid in the valve advantageously comprises a swirler, comprising a plurality of helical pipes 13 so as to confer a rotational component to the liquid which crosses them, which allows the liquid itself to adhere to the bottle walls during the step of filling, making the latter faster and causing less formation of foam.
- Swirler 6 may have an external cylindrical envelope ( Figure 6) or it may have a conical external envelope ( Figure 5) preferably when products with pulps, cells or filaments are processed.
- the conical configuration of the swirler 6 inside a conical, frustoconical or frustoconocal-cylindrical hole i.e. constituted by a first frustoconical part followed in the vertical direction by a second cylindrical part
- the cylindrical configuration of the swirler 6 inside a cylindrical hole ( Figure 6) is useful in that the swirler may be disassembled from the valve by removing it from the bottom, by simply unscrewing the tubular element or beak 17 on which it is mounted.
- this allows to mount a beak with a traditional deflector, if the machine needs to also process cold products at a higher output speed, provided that the product level in the bottle allows this circumstance.
- the conical configuration of the swirler 6 inside a cylindrical hole (Figure 6d) has the same advantage of the cylindrical configuration of the swirler inside a cylindrical hole, with the further advantage of reducing to minimum the likelihood of jamming because pulps or filaments that are stuck can free themselves more easily.
- the position of the swirler directly in contact with the lower end of shutter 4 above avoid pulps, cells or filaments from remaining astride the crests of the helixes, finding no horizontal surface with which to get caught.
- the aforesaid conformation of the deflection system advantageously allows beverages with a high content of pulps and filaments to pass through.
- the helixes of swirler 6 are advantageously dimensioned so that the helical pipes
- the helix development is such to radially collect the liquid and again radially release it into the bottle once the required rotational component has been impressed to the liquid itself.
- a preferred variant includes a helix pitch equal to approximately 1.5-2.5 times the height of swirler 6, preferably equal to double said height.
- the either conical or cylindrical swirler may include six helixes having a pitch of 36 mm, for example.
- the swirler size is also dictated by the conformation of the surrounding valve components, as they have precise dimensions according to the diameter of the outlet hole of valve 1 , e.g. 20 mm, and to the height of the lower end part of the valve, which part varies according to the size of the bottle to be filled.
- the swirler may be made of plastics or stainless steel, for example.
- Swirler 6 is mounted on a first portion of the beak 17, internally provided with a channel forming the end part of pipe 8, said beak 17 being inserted and fixed to the shutter 4 at a first end, while its length is such that the second end thereof is adapted to extend into a container to be filled only for the segment corresponding to a portion of the container neck.
- beak 17 Being adjacent to and underneath the first portion arranged for assembling the swirler 6, beak 17 has a second portion having a predetermined external profile 18 characterized by a first segment converging towards the axis of pipe 8 and a second segment diverging towards said axis. These two external profile segments are substantially truncated cone-shaped and smoothly joined together, as shown in Figure 3.
- This particular configuration serves an anti-capillary function, i.e. it facilitates the detachment from the beak 17 of the liquid let out from the helical pipes 13 of swirler 6 so as to divert all the liquid towards the internal surface of the bottle thus avoiding a greater formation of foam when filling and the interference of the liquid nappe, which would flow along the beak 17 to the inlet section 14, with regards to a return air flow from the bottle which could cause a slowing down of the steps of filling.
- Swirler 6 is entirely arranged within the valve body 2, while the external profile segment 18 of the beak may be either completely or partially inside or completely outside the valve body 2.
- This swirler configuration avoids problems of product leakage with consequent fouling of the mouth exterior and subsequent formation of moulds in the gaps between capsule and bottle, or particularly in the case of small diameter necks, problems of final level lowering related to the emersion of the deflection system from within the bottle as in the known systems.
- the length of beak 17 is such that when the filling valve is lowered onto the bottle to be filled, the second end of the beak extends into the bottle only by a segment corresponding to an initial segment of the neck. This allows to obtain:
- pipe 8 allows the liquid inside the pipe to be discharged into the recovery pipe 12 instead of into the bottle, thus allowing to reduce dripping and improve level accuracy: this effect is due to the physically lower position of the outlet section 13 of pipe 8, i.e. the end section close to the recovery pipe 12, with respect to the inlet section 14 of the same pipe 8, i.e. the end section close to the filling portion of the bottle, which condition creates a piezo load favorable to completely discharging the liquid inside the pipe 8 into the recovery pipe 12.
- Figures 7a to 7f show different steps of hot filling a bottle according to the present invention.
- a step of heating the filling machine and thus the filling valves 1 is included, firstly carried out with hot water and then with the hot product to be bottled, which are circulated in the valve ( Figure 7a).
- the step of heating first the hot water and then the product at certain temperatures reach the valve body 2 through the flexible pipe 3, in which the shutter 4 is lowered thus closing the filling valve, while the shutter 10 is in a retracted position allowing the hot water and hot product to pass into the recirculation pipe 8' connected to the recovery pipe 12. Water let out from pipe 8' is let out from the system.
- This first part of product let out from pipe 8' is also let out from the system.
- a bottle 20 is taken to a position underneath a filling valve 1 by a loading drum.
- Valve 1 is thus lowered by carriage 11 so as to fit on the bottle 20 with the beak 17 partially inside the bottle itself ( Figure 7b).
- Shutter 10 is actuated by actuator 9 to close the recirculation valve 1 ' and the bottle travels along a first predetermined angle K along the filling roundabout.
- the step of recirculating the product in the bottle starts for letting out the foam and a predetermined amount of product from the bottle 20, which product is introduced through pipe 8 into the recovery pipe 12 and then mixed with new product and subjected to second pasteurization ( Figure 7d).
- the bottle travels along a third predetermined angle X along the filling roundabout.
- shutter 4 is lowered thus closing the filling valve 1 (Figure 7e) and valve 1 is raised by means of carriage 11 ( Figure 7f) so as to release itself from the bottle 20, full of product, which is coupled to an unloading drum.
- Steps of sanitizing i.e. steps of cleaning and sterilizing the machine, are periodically contemplated, at each change of product to be bottled or after a given number of hours of machine operation, including appropriate solutions recirculating in the valve, by using a dummy bottle 30 fixed to valve 1.
- Figure 8 shows four operating modes of the filling valve of the invention.
- both the filling valve 1 and recirculation valve 1 ' are open: such a situation occurs during extended system stops.
- the step of in-valve recirculating should indeed be activated to avoid the system from cooling down, in particular the product close to the closed valves waiting for being bottled, because the step of in-bottle recirculating avoid the product in the previously filled bottles from cooling down before being capped, which event would cause the bottles to be rejected.
- Maintaining the recirculation valve V also open prevents strains capable of compromising the dimensional stability of bottles or containers as high temperature tends to reduce the strength thereof.
- the opening of shutters 4, 10 may be postponed and intermittent so as to efficiently wash the product from all concerned circuit.
- Figure 9 shows a bottle filling system comprising a filling roundabout 40 provided with one or more filling valves 1 according to the present invention.
- the adjustment of the amount of product recirculated in the bottle is advantageously determined by the opening delay of the filling valve 1 along the filling roundabout 40, with the closing point of valve 1 being fixed along said roundabout, in order to minimize the amount according to the type of product, the type of bottle and the production rate each time.
- the position of the opening runner of valve 1 is determined each time for each product and/or size to be filled.
- the opening point of valve 1 along the roundabout 40 is determined by working back from the fixed closing point so as to allow the bottle to be completely filled and the foam formed during the filling itself to be completely evacuated; thereby, the percentage of recirculated product is reduced to the minimum.
- Figure 10 depicts a diagram of the filling roundabout 40 which shows: the loading drum 50 and the unloading drum 51 of the containers; the predetermined position of the closing point 52 of the filling valve; the (variable) position of the opening point 53 of said valve; the filling angle Y corresponding to the roundabout arc along which the container is completely filled; the recirculation angle X corresponding to the roundabout arc along which the product is recirculated in the bottle to suppress the foam; the angle Z corresponds to the arc along which a cam acts for lifting and lowering the valve 1 ; and the angle K equal to (360°-X-Y-Z) which determines the opening position 53 of valve 1.
- the machine angle concerned by the step of filling (angle Y) is obtained; and with the filling-recirculating flow rate ratio Q/q of the single valve being known, the maximum angle X of the machine concerned by the step of recirculating, and thus the angle K and the opening position 53 are so obtained.
- the recirculation percentage will be closer to the maximum value for small bottles (e.g. 500 ml) with narrow neck and product with a high content of pulps (e.g. 100% juice product), while it will be closer to the minimum value for large bottles (e.g. 2000 ml) with wide neck and clear product (e.g. isotonic beverage).
