Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft Füllstationen für eine Aseptik-FFS-Verpackungsmaschine, deren Packstoffbahn-Förderstrecke (PFS) in einem Aseptiktunnel (2) und hinter deren Packstoff-Formstation (FS) die Füllstation (1) angeordnet ist, die aus mindestens einem in Bezug auf die Förderstrecke (PFS) senkrecht zur Förderstrecke (PFS) verstellbaren Dosierfüllrohr (3) besteht, dem eine Wanne (4) zur Aufnahme von bei der Reinigungsspülung des Füllrohres (3) anfallender Reinigungsflüssigkeit zugeordnet ist.
Um eine solche Maschine auch während einer erforderlichen Reinigung weiterlaufen lassen zu können, ist nach der Erfindung vorgesehen, daß am Aseptiktunnel (2) oberhalb der Förderstrecke (PFS) in verstellbaren Öffnungen (2'') abdichtbar zum Tunnel (2) hintereinander zwei Füllstationen (1,1') angeordnet sind, wobei sich abwechselnd jeweils nur eine Füllstation (1,1') in Betriebsstellung und die andere Füllstation (1',1) in Reinigungsstellung befindet. Ferner sind die Füllstationen (1,1') wegen der verstellbaren Öffnungen (2'') zwischen einer Betriebsstellung und einer Reinigungsstellung hin- und herbewegbar und bestehen jeweils aus einem das Füllrohr (3) in Reinigungsstellung aufnehmenden Wannenteil (5) und einem das Füllrohr (3) in Betriebsstellung aufnehmenden Füllrohr-Durchgriffsteil (6). Beide Teile (5,6) bilden dabei zusammen eine bewegbare Einheit und der Füllrohr-Durchgriffsteil (6) ist bei Stellung des Wannenteiles (5) unter dem Füllrohr (3) mit einer abnehmbaren Verschlußkappe (8) versehen.

Figure 00000001
The invention relates to filling stations for an aseptic FFS packaging machine, the packaging material web conveyor line (PFS) of which is arranged in an aseptic tunnel (2) and behind the packaging material forming station (FS) the filling station (1), which consists of at least one in relation to the Conveying path (PFS) adjustable metering filling tube (3) perpendicular to the conveying path (PFS), to which a trough (4) is assigned for receiving the cleaning liquid resulting from the cleaning flushing of the filling tube (3).
In order to be able to keep such a machine running even during a necessary cleaning, the invention provides that two filling stations (2) one behind the other can be sealed in the openings (2 '') in adjustable openings (2 '') on the aseptic tunnel (2) above the conveyor section (PFS). 1,1 ') are arranged, alternately only one filling station (1,1') in the operating position and the other filling station (1 ', 1) in the cleaning position. Furthermore, the filling stations (1, 1 ') can be moved back and forth between an operating position and a cleaning position due to the adjustable openings (2'') and each consist of a tub part (5) which receives the filling tube (3) in the cleaning position and a filling part (5) (3) in the operating position receiving filler tube penetration part (6). The two parts (5, 6) together form a movable unit and the fill pipe penetration part (6) is provided with a removable closure cap (8) when the tub part (5) is under the fill pipe (3).
