Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device and method for cleaning a container filling system.
  • a container is usually first filled with a liquid and then closed.
  • Such systems are often used for filling sensitive goods such as beverages, food or medicines.
  • These facilities must be cleaned regularly to meet the high hygiene requirements that apply in these areas. At least when switching from one product to another or from one batch to the next batch, cleaning of the piping system of such a plant is usual.
  • a bottling plant in the beverage industry must be cleaned regularly due to the high cleanliness requirements prevailing in the food sector.
  • the parts of the system that have come into contact with the filling material, such as product lines and treatment heads are cleaned with a cleaning and/or sterilizing agent after the filling process is complete.
  • a separate cleaning device is usually connected to the product lines, which means that it is possible to avoid dismantling the filling system in order to reach all the surfaces to be cleaned.
  • Such a cleaning process is referred to as CIP (clean in place) cleaning.
  • the CIP cleaning device provides cleaning liquid, gas and/or sterilizing agent, which are pumped through the pipelines and treatment heads to be cleaned. They can then be collected again in the CIP cleaning facility and, if necessary, reused or processed for recycling.
  • the quality of such a cleaning process can be checked, for example, by analyzing the cleaning media used. This can be done, for example, in the return of the CIP cleaning device. As described in EP 0 672 613 A1, for example, it is often advantageous in modern beverage bottling plants with a large number of filling heads to carry out the analysis of the cleaning media used separately for the cleaning and/or sterilization medium flowing through each individual filling head.
  • a typical cleaning process of a bottling plant comprises a large number of steps and is associated with a considerable expenditure of time which, depending on the size and complexity of the bottling plant, can amount to several hours.
  • the remaining filling material is usually rinsed out with water, for example.
  • the cleaning then usually begins with an application of an alkaline cleaning medium to the surfaces to be cleaned.
  • a further cleaning step involves subjecting these surfaces to an acidic medium.
  • an intermediate rinsing with a neutral medium such as water is necessary in order to avoid a reaction between base and acid and the associated heat development and salt formation.
  • a disinfecting and/or sterilizing medium is introduced into the system. This is then removed from the system by another flushing process.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object of improving the methods and systems known from the prior art and of avoiding or reducing at least some of the disadvantages indicated.
  • a method according to the invention for cleaning at least sections of a pipeline system of a container filling system comprises the following steps:
  • the disinfecting and/or sterilizing solution is metered into the second cleaning solution remaining in the second storage container until a defined proportion of the disinfecting and/or sterilizing agent in the second cleaning solution is reached , and this mixed with the disinfectant and / or sterilant second cleaning solution is introduced into the sections of the piping system of the container filling plant.
  • the application of the second (acidic) cleaning solution to the system parts to be cleaned also continues during the disinfection and/or sterilization, the application of the disinfectant and/or sterilizing agent that has not yet been added can second cleaning solution must be kept briefly. This results in a further synergetic effect for shortening the total time required for the cleaning process. The use of energy can also be reduced by shortening the process.
  • a further advantage of this method compared to the methods known from the prior art is that the disinfecting and/or sterilizing solution is metered into the second cleaning solution remaining in the second storage container. There is therefore no need for a separate mixing cylinder and/or mixing tank in which the mixing takes place. In addition, the usually comparatively large volume of the second storage container results in a reliable mixing of the disinfectant in the solution, which cannot be guaranteed when the disinfectant is injected into a pipeline.
  • the introduction of the first and second cleaning solution can be time-controlled, for example. It is conceivable that a cleaning solution is introduced for a predetermined period of time.
  • a cleaning solution to be introduced in each case until a desired degree of cleaning is achieved. This can be done, for example, by Corresponding sensors are detected in the container filling system and the supply of the corresponding cleaning solution is stopped as soon as a desired degree of cleaning is reached.
  • An analysis of the cleaning solution used to detect adequate cleaning of the system parts to be cleaned would also be conceivable. As soon as the cleaning solution used to clean the system parts is no longer "consumed" for cleaning, i.e. has a quality close to that of the cleaning solution introduced, this can be used as a feature to detect adequate cleaning of the system parts used. Adequate disinfection and/or sterilization can also be detected analogously.
  • the disinfecting and/or sterilizing solution is metered into the second cleaning solution remaining in the second storage container, preferably using a mass flow meter.
  • a mass flow meter allows a precise determination of the disinfecting and/or sterilizing solution flowing through a line section and accordingly the dosing of an exact quantity of the disinfecting and/or sterilizing solution to the second cleaning solution remaining in the second storage container.
  • the quantity of disinfecting and/or sterilizing solution is preferably measured using a mass flow meter which detects the flow through a fluid connection between the second and third storage container.

  • disinfectants and/or sterilizing agents are combined with one another that collectively show enhanced disinfection and/or sterilization performance.

  • These disinfectants and/or sterilizers can be used one after the other and/or together to disinfect and/or sterilize parts of the container filling system. “One after the other and/or together” should be understood in this context to mean that two disinfectants and/or sterilants in every conceivable sequence can be used individually or together (possibly in different mixing ratios), if necessary multiple times.
