Definitions
- This invention relates to a method of filling a packaging container.
- a filling apparatus of a rotary type is generally used for this purpose.
- Such filling apparatus include a turntable on which the container is placed and is displaced by rotation of the turntable.
- the filling apparatus also includes a charging station and a sealing station.
- a liquid food is charged in the container through a top opening of the container.
- the top end of the container is sealed with a lid.
- the container on the turntable after having been filled with the liquid food in the charging station, is displaced to the sealing station with the top end remaining opened.
- the pressure inside the container is increased by the liquid food which is urged to overflow.
- the resin forming the container is often melted so that the volume of the container is reduced. This also results in the increase of the internal pressure of the container. As a consequence, great forces are imposed on the sealed portion and the rest of the container.
- a liquid food is charged in a container formed of a resin, the container having an opening at a top end thereof and a deformable portion in a wall thereof such that the inside volume thereof can be adjusted, a lid is placed on the top end of the container, and a sealing device is lowered from a position above the lid to seal the upper end of the container with the lid.
- the deformable portion of the container is deformed to elevate the surface of the liquid food to a level adjacent to the top end of the container.
- the container according to the present invention When the container according to the present invention is disposed at a filling station of a turntable and is filled with, e.g. , a liquid food, and the deformable portion has not been deformed to decrease the volume of the container, e.g. , by pushing upward on a deformable portion in a bottom portion of the container, a space is defined between the liquid level of the liquid food and the top end of the container.
- the container is then displaced on the turntable to a sealing station where the top end of the container is sealed with the lid. Since the space defined between the liquid level of the liquid food and the top end of the container is retained during the displacement of the container from the filling station to the sealing station, the liquid food does not overflow from the opening by vibration, etc. even when the turntable is rotated at a relatively high speed. As a consequence, the overall filling operation can be performed at a high speed.
- the deformable portion In the sealing stage, the deformable portion is deformed, e.g. , pushed upward. and thereby elevates the level of the liquid food to a level adjacent to the top end of the container, and is also urged in the opposite direction, e.g.. downward, as the container is sealed with the lid.
- the deformable portion since a negative pressure is created in the container, the deformable portion is maintained in the deformed position, e.g. , the bottom portion is maintained in the upwardly displaced position.
- the negative pressure in the container is lost so that the deformable portion is moved to the undeformed position, e.g., the bottom portion is moved to a lowered position.
- whether the container is properly sealed can be determined by checking whether or not the deformable portion is in the deformed position, e.g., the bottom portion is in the upwardly displaced position. Further, the creation of the negative pressure in the container can prevent an excessive force to be applied to the sealed portion and to the container upon the sealing of the lid to the container, such as where resins are fused.
