Definitions
- Bottled, canned or similar container bottled beverages are mostly mixed drinks, in which a major component, which accounts for the volume by far greater part of each bottled product, a further liquid additive component, for example in the form of a flavor-giving highly concentrated flavoring is added.
- This mixture is produced in practice within a mixing plant, which is also referred to as a "mixer" and precedes the filling machine in the process flow, in which then the product mixed from the two components is filled into the container.
- mixed drinks are i.a. Water + liquid flavoring or flavoring additive, water + liquid flavoring or flavoring additive + sugar, water + liquid flavoring or flavoring additive + base syrup, etc.
- Mixed drinks produced in this way are, for example, fruit juices or cola drinks, also with the addition of carbon dioxide.
- a disadvantage of these known methods inter alia, that the mixer in which the components forming the mixed drink (water and / or sugar and / or base syrup and / or flavoring and / or carbonic acid) is mixed is also a spatially separate unit of the filling machine, and that, therefore, connecting lines between the mixer and the filling machine are necessary, which as well as fluid connections within the filling machine contain a considerable volume of liquid.
- a method for the free-jet filling of bottles or similar containers with a liquid contents consisting of at least two components as well as a filling system for carrying out this method ( WO 2007/039074 A1 ).
- the introduction of the first component into the respective container takes place via a dispensing opening of a filling element which has a dispensing opening forming liquid passage containing a controlled rempliselgkeitsventil and communicates via a fluid connection with a boiler for the first component.
- the delivery of the further component via an additional discharge opening, which is provided on the outside of the foil element directly at the discharge opening for the first component and is connected via a connecting line with metering valve to a boiler or container for the further component.
- a single flow meter which in the fluid communication between the filling element and the ports of the components containing boiler is arranged.
- the object of the invention is to provide a method which, with a consistent and reproducible quality of the product bottled product change or Kompanenten Touch and thereby specifically allows changing at least one additional component with a reduced loss of high quality product and tent expenditure.
- a method according to claim 1 is formed.
- a filling system for carrying out the method is the subject of patent claim 8.
- Advantages of the method and the device according to the invention include u.a.
- the amount of product to be discarded in a product change and also the time required for a product change are therefore significantly reduced, namely with reproducible filling results.
- FIG. 1 - 3 1 is generally a filling system for filling bottles 2 with a liquid product or filling material, which consists of at least two components, one of which is a basic or main component and an additional component or additional component ZK / ZK ', for example a taste-forming and / or coloring additive is.
- the filling system 1 which in the illustrated embodiment is part of a filling machine of continuous design, consists in a manner known per se of a filling element 3, which with a plurality of similar filling elements on the periphery a rotatable about a vertical axis of the machine rotor 4 of the filling machine is provided.
- a liquid channel 6 is formed, which at an upper end via an at least partially formed by a conduit 7 Fluid connection with the common for all filling elements 3 of the filling system 1 and the filling machine and provided on the rotor 4 boiler 8 for receiving the main component or first component HK is used.
- the boiler 8 which is designed, for example, as a ring boiler, is filled level-controlled up to the level N with the component HK.
- a flow meter 9 is provided which, e.g. is a magnetic / inductive flow meter and an electrical signal which corresponds to the volume flow or the respective filling element 3 flowing amount of the component HK, for example, provided by a computer control unit 10, which provided for all filling elements 3 of the filling system 1 together and for example, the filling machine controlling computer.
- the liquid channel 6 forms a dispensing opening 11 for dispensing the liquid filling material to the respective bottle 2 to be filled.
- a gas barrier 12 is provided, which in the illustrated embodiment is formed by an insert, the sieve-like is provided with a plurality of passages or channels.
- a liquid valve 13 for controlled release of the component HK is arranged in the respective bottle 2 between the upper connection to the liquid connection 7 and the lower discharge opening 11.
- the liquid valve 13 is known in the art to consist of a valve body 14 which is movable between a closed pitch and an open pitch in the vertical direction, i. in the Sportselementachse FA is movable up and down and rests in the closed position with a seal against a valve seat in the liquid channel 6.
- the controlled opening and closing of the liquid valve 13 via a controlled by the control unit 10 actuator 15, u.a. also as a function of the measurement signal supplied by the flow meter 9.
- At 16 is in the FIG. 1 designates a fluid connection formed by a fluid channel, which serves for introducing the additional component ZK into the respective bottle 2 and for this purpose forms an additional discharge opening 17 for the additional component ZK on the underside of the filling element 3.
- the discharge opening 17 is provided coaxially with the Greelementachse FA on the underside of the gas barrier 12.
- the fluid connection 16 which consists for example of a sealed from the side into the liquid channel 6 below the liquid valve 13 pipe section is outside the liquid passage 6 and the filling element 3 via a controllable (eg electrically or pneumatically controllable) check valve 18 to the output a metering pump 19 which is also controlled by the control unit 10 and whose input is connected to a line 20 which leads to a reservoir or boiler, not shown, for the component ZK.
- the metering pump 19 is designed so that it promotes a precisely defined volume in a continuous operation at each pump revolution or clocked or pulse-shaped operation in each stroke
- Each filling element 3 is associated with a container carrier 21 to which in the illustrated embodiment, the respective bottle 2 is held suspended from a 2.1 formed below the bottle mouth 2.1 flange, in such a way that the bottle mouth 2.1 from the bottom of the filling element 3 and thus of the local discharge openings 11 and 17 as well as from the lower, open end of a ring-like insert 22 is spaced, so that both components HK and ZK of the respective bottle to be filled 2 are supplied as a free jet, as shown in the FIG. 2 is shown.
- the insert 22 surrounds the lower tubular housing section 5.1 of the housing 5 forming the discharge opening 11 at a distance, so that an annular channel 23 is formed between the inner surface of the annular insert 22 and the outer surface of the housing section 5.1. Furthermore, the insert 22 projecting slightly beyond the bottom of the gas barrier 12 and also via the discharge openings 11 and 17, so that after closing the lower, open end of the insert 22 with a rinsing cap 22.1 indicated by broken lines and when the liquid valve 13 is open a CIP cleaning with an example the liquid channel 6 from top to bottom and then flowing through the annular gap 23 and a connected thereto line 24 discharged cleaning medium is possible. In this CIP cleaning can then also the discharge port 17 and the associated fluid paths (fluid connection 16, check valve 18, metering pump 19, line 20, etc.) are included.
- a possible mode of operation of the filling system 1 for introducing the components HK and ZK results from the FIG. 2 , After positioning the bottle 2 to be filled on the container carrier 21, the filling phase is initiated by opening the liquid valve 13, in which the component HK is introduced in the free jet through the bottle opening 2.1 in the bottle 2. At the same time takes place with open check valve 18 by controlling the metering pump 19 is a precisely metered addition of the component ZK in the bottle 2 incoming stream of the component HK with a predetermined amount.
- the introduction of the component ZK is terminated in the respective bottle 2 by blocking the check valve 18 or by switching off the metering pump 19, so that then until complete filling of the bottle 2 of these only the component HK is supplied.
- the filling phase is controlled by the signal of the flow meter 9 by closing the liquid valve 13 then terminated when the desired filling volume is reached.
- the operation in which the supply of the component HK ends before the liquid valve 13 is closed, has the advantage that in the region of the discharge opening 17 or in the region of the underside of the gas barrier 12 possibly present remnants of the component ZK entrained by the component HK and be introduced into the provided on the filling element 3 bottle 2, so that there are clear conditions at the beginning of each new filling phase. It is understood that in the case of several filling elements 3 on the rotor 4, an independent metering pump 19 and an independent shut-off valve 18 are provided for each filling element 3 and these are individually controllable for each filling element 3.
- the filling system 1 also allows a change of the components HK and / or ZK.
- the change of the component HK is carried out in the usual way by emptying the filling system 1 with respect to the component HK and ggs. by subsequent rinsing and / or cleaning of the filling system 1 as well as all fluid connections and routes also within the filling elements 3, preferably in a CIP cleaning process.
- the gas barrier 12 By using the gas barrier 12 it is achieved that after closing the liquid valve 13, i. At the end of each filling phase, the part of the liquid channel 6 located below the liquid valve 13 continues to be completely filled with the component HK, without any dripping of the filling element 3 taking place. Furthermore, the cross-section of the fluid connection 16 or of the fluid channel forming this fluid connection, in particular at the discharge opening 17, is also selected so that after the completion of the delivery of the component ZK, i. after the valve 18 has been blocked and the dosing pump 19 has been switched off, the part of the fluid connection 16 extending between the check valve 18 and the discharge opening 17 continues to be filled with the component ZK without dripping from the discharge opening 17. Thus, at the beginning of each new fill phase, both components HK and ZK see immediately, i. available without delay.
- a collecting trough 25 arranged below the filling element 3 with a suitable outlet.
- this drip tray 25 is then provided, for example, fixed to a machine element below the trajectory of the filling elements 3, in that angular range of rotation of the rotor 4, between a container outlet at which the filled bottles 2 are removed during the filling operation , and a container inlet is formed, to which the empty bottles are supplied during the filling operation, and at the (angle range), even in normal filling operation, no bottle 2 is located on the filling elements 3.
- each filling element 3 is further supplied metering pump 19 and open check valve 18, the component ZK 'supplied or preferred, as long as until this component has reached the discharge opening 17 or exits there. Since the previously rinsed and taken after rinsing of the rinsing liquid volume is known, this preference of the component ZK 'can be done in principle by appropriate control of the metering pump 19 and funded by this pump volume flow.
- the changeover or change from the component ZK to the component ZK 'takes place in sections at the filling elements 3 situated above the drip pan 25 while the rotor 4 is rotated. and for example at continuously, but very slowly rotating rotor 4 or clocked rotating rotor 4th
- each filling element 3 has a common metering pump 19 with a shut-off valve 18 for both components ZK and ZK ', and both components are accordingly also conducted via the line 20 to the metering pump 19.

- the filling system 1a further also allows the volume-controlled introduction of both components ZK and ZK 'into the respective bottles 2 within one and the same filling phase.
- the components ZK and ZK 'are for this purpose for example, by appropriate control of the associated metering pump 19 and the valve 18 offset in time in the respective bottle 2 are introduced, in such a way that the introduction of the components ZK and ZK' each with one of these components, for example started with the component ZK and also terminated with the same component, so that after filling each bottle 2, ie at the end of each filling phase, the same conditions with respect to the present at the discharge port 17 component ZK or ZK 'are present.
- FIG. 5 1 shows a filling system 1b, which is not part of the invention and differs from the filling system 1 only in that the dispensing opening 17 for the component ZK or ZK 'is provided radially offset with respect to the filling element axis FA or with respect to the axis of the dispensing opening 11, in such a way that the discharge opening 17 is located outside the discharge opening 11 and outside the gas barrier 12, but in the form that the jet of the component ZK or ZK 'emerging from the discharge opening 17 reliably flows through the bottle opening 2.1 into the filling element 3 provided bottle 2 is introduced.
- the boilers for the components ZK and ZK ' are provided jointly for all filling elements 3 or else a group of several filling elements of the filling machine.
- the metering pumps 19 and the associated shut-off valves 18, however, are provided separately for the individual filling elements 3 and individually controllable.
- FIGS. 6 and 7 show as a further embodiment not part of the invention, a filling system 1c, which differs from the filling system 1 - 1 b characterized in that the introduction of the additional component ZK or ZK 'again outside of the filling element 3, but already in the fluid connection between the boiler 8 and the respective filling element 3, ie in the line 7 takes place.

- the input of the metering pump 27 is connected to a boiler 29 for the component ZK or ZK ', which is supplied via a line 30 with this component.
- the metering pump 27 is in turn designed so that it promotes a well-defined volume in each stroke with continuous operation at each pump revolution or clocked or pulsed operation
- the introduction of the component ZK or ZK ' is terminated by closing the check valve 28 and by switching off the metering pump 27, so that then the filling of the respective bottle 2 with the component HK can be done or continued by opening the check valve 26.
- the filling phase is ended by closing the liquid valve 13.
- the filling system 1 c also allows a change between the component ZK and ZK '.

- a suitable liquid rinsing medium for example rinsed with water
- the newly used component ZK 'or ZK is initially advanced in the form that this component is supplied via the line 30 so that it is not only with the shut-off valve 26 still open and the shut-off valve 28 open and the liquid valve 13 open the boiler 29, but also the line section 7.2 and the liquid channel 6 fills and finally exits at the discharge opening 12.
- the shut-off valve 28 is closed and the shut-off valve 26 is open, the rinsing of the line section 7.2 and the liquid channel 6 with the component HK takes place, so that at the end of the component change when the liquid valve 13 is closed again, a state is reached in which the entire line 7 and also the liquid channel 6 are filled with the component HK.
- a filling system 1d not part of the invention which differs from the filling system 1c only in that for each component ZK and ZK 'a separate boiler 29 is provided, via the metering pump 27 and the check valve 28 with the line section 7.2 in Connection is, among other things, with the advantage that in a component change flushing of the respective boiler 29, the associated metering pump 27 and the associated shut-off valve 28 is not required and also the possibility exists, both components ZK and ZK 'during the filling phase in the Bring in bottles 2.
- the boilers 29 for the components ZK and ZK ' are again provided in common for all filling elements 3 or else a group of several filling elements of the filling machine.
- the metering pumps 27 and the associated shut-off valves 28, however, are provided separately for the individual filling elements 3 and individually controllable.
