Definitions

  • Transport element for transporting filled, unsealed containers in
  • the present invention relates to a transport element for transporting filled, unsealed containers in machines and a method for transferring a filled, unsealed container from a machine, in particular a forming and filling machine, to a holding device of a transport element of another machine or machine component.
  • Containers in particular bottles, are formed in molding and filling machines from previously thermally conditioned preforms by filling with a product supplied under pressure.
  • these machines have several revolving rotors on which transport elements for the containers are arranged.
  • a processing step is performed on each rotor and then transfer the container to the next rotor.
  • a typical molding and filling process forming and filling a bottle from a blank on a first rotor, and closing the bottle on the second rotor.
  • the transfer of the bottle between the rotors can be done directly or via a so-called transport star, which has circularly arranged transport elements and takes over the bottles from the rotor of the first machine and passes on to the rotor of a second machine.
  • transport star which has circularly arranged transport elements and takes over the bottles from the rotor of the first machine and passes on to the rotor of a second machine.
  • CONFIRMATION COPY A problem with this is that with each transfer, the direction of movement of the container is changed, thereby changing the acceleration acting on the container. If there is already a liquid filling material in the container, as is the case after having passed through a forming and filling machine, there is the risk that filling material will spill out of the container during the transfer from the forming and filling machine. In addition to the loss of filling material, it is precisely the contamination of the machine under hygienic aspects that is of concern and requires regular cleaning and disinfection.
  • DE 101 37 7 8 A1 shows a closure element for the temporary closure of filled containers in the transfer area between a filling machine and a closing machine.
  • the object of this closure element is to protect the filled bottle against the ingress of rinsing liquid which is sprayed from the outside onto the mouth region in order to open this mouth region, e.g. to clean over-foamed product. At this time, it has already come to a Gregut basin by foaming.
  • the object of the invention is to propose a device with which a loss-free transfer of filled containers between two machine sections is possible.
  • a transport element for transporting filled, unsealed containers which comprises a holding device for receiving the container.
  • the transport element according to the invention is characterized in that it has a movable closure element which, after introduction of the filled container into the holding device and as soon as the introduction is made, is movable onto the opening of the container. This is done at a time before the acceleration of the container changes. On the form and Grerad the container moves on a circular path with a certain radius of the circle and is subject to a consequent constant acceleration.
  • the container leaves this circular path predetermined by the forming and filling wheel and then follows the movement path predetermined by the transport element, which in turn can be a movement on a circular path with, for example, a changed radius and / or a changed direction of circulation.
  • the closure element is designed to protect the container against the escape of contents as a result of a movement direction change, for example when transferring from the forming and filling station to a transport star.
  • the closure element is arranged to this To effect closure at the time when the acceleration of the container changes, namely from the acceleration caused by the forming and filling wheel to the acceleration caused by the transport element. These two accelerations are identical at the time of transfer, but diverge afterwards. The transfer and the closure by the closure element are thus executed simultaneously.
  • the opening of the container can thus be closed as soon as the container is inserted into the holding device of the transport element.
  • the closure element then prevents a change in the direction of movement by the transfer of the container to the transport element and the acceleration occurring that the contents can spill over.
  • the holding device may preferably be a holding fork.
  • the closure element may comprise means for holding the container in the holding device. This may be e.g. to act on a protruding into the container opening projection or at least partially around the closure element peripheral bead which protrudes downwards and prevents slipping out of the container from the holding fork even at high accelerations under the action of centrifugal forces.
  • the closure element may preferably have a seal on the underside so that it seals with the opening of the container.
  • the seal which can rest in the closed position of the closure element with some pressure against the opening of the container, can also take over the same holding function, so that the container is secured in the holding fork against slipping out.
  • the movement of the closure element can be done vorteihaft cam controlled.
  • the holding device can hold the container slightly clamped.
  • the object of the invention is further achieved by a method for transferring a filled, unsealed container from a machine, in particular a forming and filling machine, to a holding device of a transport element of another machine or machine component, characterized in that the container is temporarily closed before changing the acceleration acting on the container.
  • the filling material in particular liquid filling material
  • the filling material located in a still unclosed container
  • the acceleration acting on the container is usually changed.
  • the problem of overspill occurs e.g. strong in the transfer of a filled but not yet closed bottle from a form and filling in a capping on.
  • Changing the direction of rotation changes the acceleration applied to the container.
  • the container is therefore temporarily closed before exposure to the high acceleration.
  • the temporary closure preferably takes place by means of a movable closure element connected to the transport element of the further machine or machine component.
  • the closure element secures the container in the closed state in the holding device of the transport element of the further machine, e.g. by a projection which engages in the container opening or by a bead which runs around the edge at least partially around the closure element.
