Definitions

  • the invention relates to a production plant according to claim 1 and to a use of a buffer memory according to claim 15.
  • Production plants for filling products in the form of a liquid filling material are known in various designs and usually consist of a system for providing the product, from at least one filling machine, which serves to fill the container with the product and connected via at least one product line with the system for providing the product, and at least one buffer memory or - tank, which is connected with its inlet and outlet to the product line, namely for the controlled recording, intermediate storage and delivery of the product to the product line or to the filling machine.
  • the system for providing the product is, for example, a mixing plant in which the product (beverage) is produced by mixing via appropriate mixing and metering systems comprising a plurality of components, for example water as a basic component, beverage syrup and carbon dioxide. This will then be e.g. cached in the buffer memory and fed from there to the filling machine.
  • the plant for providing the product is, for example, a pasteurizer or a short-time heating plant (hereinafter referred to as the KZE plant) in which the product is briefly heated or pasteurized for sterilization.
  • the upstream system for providing the product may alternatively or additionally also be a filter system.
  • the product thus treated is then also temporarily stored in the buffer tank and fed from there to the filler.
  • the size or the storage volume of such formed in known systems of a large volume buffer tank Buffer storage is depending on the application and performance in the order of between about 1500 and 30,000 I.
  • a corresponding device was, for example, by the US 5,952,031 presented.
  • This document shows a method in which a subset of the contents, which does not meet the quality requirements, over a longer period of a larger subset of the contents, which meets the quality requirements, is added. The admixture takes place in such a small dosage that even the mixed product still meets all quality requirements.
  • this document proposes the use of a conventional buffer tank.
  • the size of the liquid inside the device is determined solely by the pressure surge damping requirements and / or the buffering requirements, and thus can not vary between 0 and 100% without changing the functions of the device, this device becomes not regarded as a buffer memory in the sense of the present invention, since it is essential for a buffer memory that the liquid volume stored in it can be reduced or enlarged arbitrarily at any time.
  • a regular thorough cleaning and / or disinfection or sterilization of all coming into contact with the product elements of the production plant and thus the buffer memory is required.
  • the cleaning and / or sterilization media must be introduced into the container by means of spray nozzles and / or spray nozzles.
  • the object of the invention is to show a production plant with at least one buffer memory, which can be cleaned, disinfected and sterilized, in particular, even without great expenditure of time.
  • a production plant is designed according to claim 1.
  • a use of a buffer memory in a production plant is the subject of patent claim 15.
  • the buffer or the interior of this memory is formed by at least one pipe or pipe, wherein the tube is repeatedly coiled and / or bent and / or angled to accommodate the necessary for the storage volume pipe length, regardless of this shape of the pipe so in that there is a constant gradient within the tube and thus within the buffer reservoir, starting from a pipe end or pipe section forming the upper side of the buffer reservoir, to the underside of the buffer reservoir, or vice versa, starting from a bottom of the buffer reservoir or a discharge and / or inlet there the buffer memory forming pipe end or pipe section along the pipe increases the local height of this pipe.
  • the invention is based on the finding that such a buffer memory, which is no boiler-like buffer tank compared to conventional buffers and a greatly reduced storage volume, for example, a storage volume of a maximum of 500 l, z. B. has a storage volume between only 501 and 500 l, which can fully meet a buffer memory functions in a production facility, if monitored by a suitable control and monitoring electronics - for example in the form of a control computer - and / or controlled and / or regulated.
  • the machine parameters stored in the memory of the control computer are, for example, characteristic values of the system for providing the product and the filling machine.
  • the control characteristics or the response behavior of the mixing plant 2 when starting or when changing the amount of product removed for example, as the number of liters of the product with different composition after a change in the purchase amount by x%.
  • the measured values determined at the measuring points of the production plant are, for example, the current volume flow of the product at the outlet of the plant for providing the product, the current volume flow of the product fed to the filling machine, the current pressure in the buffer tank, etc.
  • the reduced storage volume means an excessively long residence time of product quantities and thus possibly qualitative Impairment of the product avoided.
  • the buffer forming the tube can be made with a cross section which is equal to or at least approximately equal to the cross section of the terminals of the buffer memory, thus avoiding, among other things for a cleaning and / or disinfection and / or sterilization medium hard to reach areas within the buffer memory and thereby an optimal and simplified cleaning, disinfecting and sterilizing the buffer memory, in particular without the need of opening the buffer memory and / or without disassembly of elements of the buffer memory is possible.
  • the buffer as part of a conventional CIP cleaning and / or sterilization and / or disinfection of the production plant with.
  • the cleaning and / or sterilization and / or disinfection medium used can flow through the buffer storage in a turbulent flow, whereby an intensive treatment is achieved.
  • a particular advantage further consists in that the buffer memory is not a decrease and / or approval required pressure vessel, but the buffer memory could be made of a tube material, which already has the release for the maximum occurring in the production plant or in the buffer pressure ,
  • the in the FIG. 1 generally designated 1 production plant consists essentially of a blending plant 2 for providing a beverage by mixing a flavoring component (syrup) and water with the addition of carbon dioxide, from a filling machine 3 rotating design for filling containers in the form of bottles 4 with the in the Blending plant 2 produced beverage and from a arranged in the product connection between the blending plant 2 and the filling machine 3 buffer memory. 5

  • the buffer memory 5 further serves, inter alia, to compensate for volume fluctuations in the product provided by the blending plant 2 and / or removed from the filling machine 3 product, in particular shock-like volume fluctuations to avoid interference with the filling process of the filling machine 3 by such fluctuations. Furthermore, the buffer memory also serves to effects of startup and shutdown phases as well as power changes of the filling machine 3 to compensate for the product flow, but at least to mitigate. In particular, the buffer memory 5 also serves to compensate for difference volumes between the product volume provided by the mixing plant 2 and the product volume removed by the filling machine 3.
