Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for filling rigid containers at low vacuum levels with flat, non-fizzy liquids.
  • the first characteristic is constituted of the presence of mutually moving mechanical parts inside the liquid filler valve and the second characteristic regards the quantity of liquid recycled.
  • a further drawback presented by the embodiments according to the commonly known techniques is the difficulty in executing a valid sanitation operation, in particular where the filler valve is concerned, considering the aforesaid existence of mechanical parts and relevant movement as well as the inevitable presence of particularly hidden and difficult to reach zones.
  • the aim of the present invention is to overcome all the aforesaid drawbacks.
  • the device for filling rigid containers at low vacuum levels with flat, non-fizzy liquids of the type applicable to rotary or linear filling machines, subject of the present invention is characterised by the fact that the filler valve is exclusively of the static type since the said valve is always open, being devoid of a dynamic opening system and comprising a cock body and a central pipe in the cock, the said central pipe being inside, coaxial to the said cock body and secured to the said cock body by means of threading, and by the fact that a step element is integrally secured to the internal portion of a liquid deflector cone, the said deflector cone constituting the lower part of the central pipe in the cock.
  • the filler valve 1 is exclusively of the static type as the said valve is always open and devoid of a dynamic opening system.
  • the central pipe 3 is equipped, in its upper external portion, with male threading 4a to which corresponds relative female threading 4b machined onto the cock body 2.
  • a union 5 is secured laterally for the connection of the said valve to a check valve 6 of a known type, as shown in figure 2.
  • a cap 7 is positioned coaxially to the cock body 2 and bears, inside it, a seal 8, also coaxial to the said cock body.
  • a deflector element 9 presenting two mutually overlapping tapers; the lower end of the cock body 2 and the tapered surface of the deflector element 9 designed to face the inside of the cock body 2 are drawn together to form a circumferential opening 10.
  • a channel 11 develops along the entire length of a central pipe 3 in the cock, coaxial thereto.
  • a step element 13 is integrally secured to the tapered surface of the deflector element 9 designed to face the inside of the cock body 2.
  • the vacuum circuit is constituted of a first pipeline 16, a tube 17, a second tube 18, a recycling tank 19, and each of the containers 14 when the upper edge thereof is in contact with the seal 8.
  • 15 indicates a support plate, of a commonly known type, for the containers 14.
  • the first pipeline 16 is connected directly, at the upper end of a central pipe 3 in the cock, with the channel 11 and the tube 17, and passing through a liquid tank 20.
  • the support plate 15 lifts the said container upwards until the upper edge thereof is resting on the seal 8. Only at this time is the vacuum circuit, constituted of elements 16, 17, 18, and 19 and the internal volume of the container 14, completely sealed and does the container filling commence by means of the suction effect created by the closure of the vacuum circuit.
  • each container 14 is performed with a jet of liquid in a conical curtain form suitable to direct the liquid towards the walls of each container, following the conically-shaped surface of the deflector element 9, passing through the always open circumferential opening 10.
  • the conical curtain would obviously develop for 360° around the deflector element and this would lead to air being withheld inside the containers.
  • the presence of the step element 13 ensures the conical curtain of container filling liquid does not complete 360°, presenting instead a gap of sufficient size to release the air from inside the container, thereby helping to balance out the level of the free surface of the liquid inside the said containers.
  • the width of the step element 13 In order to obtain a gap in the circumferential development of the conical curtain of container filling liquid which is sufficient to guarantee an effective bleeding effect, the width of the step element 13 must simply correspond to a few degrees, general less than ten.
  • the lack of mutually moving mechanical parts inside the filler valve 1 results in a first advantage consisting in the lack of particles of worn materials capable of polluting the filling liquid.
  • a second advantage, also linked to the lack of moving parts in the filler valve, is given by the lack of particularly hidden parts with the consequence that sanitation of the said filler valve is particularly effective.
  • a further advantage of the present invention is constituted of the relatively modest quantity of liquid recirculating in the event that there is no container in the filling station as the filler valve is always open.
