Definitions
- the invention relates to a filling element for filling containers with a liquid product according to the preamble of claim 1, to a filling system
- Filling elements for filling containers in particular for filling bottles with a liquid product, such as beverage, are in different
- a disadvantage of known processes is that the filling material (Trinox liquid) displaced from the respective container via the Trinox tube is returned to the product vessel (for example ring bowl) which provides the filling material, i.a. with the risk that contaminated filling material from this container passes back into the product vessel due to its contact with a contaminated container.
- the product vessel for example ring bowl
- Trinox filling method avoids the aforementioned disadvantages, ie contamination of the filling material in the product by recirculated product.
- a filling element according to the patent claim 1 is formed.
- a filling system is the subject of claim 6.
- a method for filling containers is the subject of claim 7.
- tainers are in particular cans, bottles, tubes, pouches, each made of metal, glass and / or plastic, but also other packaging materials which are suitable for filling liquid or viscous products.
- “Füllierenitzes filling” means according to the invention, a controlled filling of the container such that they are filled at the end of the respective filling process to a desired nominal filling level with the contents.
- a probe or tube-like element which extends into the container during filling and with which the desired filling level is controlled and / or adjusted.
- Containers in the form of bottles with a liquid product in
- FIG. 1, 1 is a filling element for filling height-controlled filling of containers in the form of bottles 2 with a liquid filling material.
- the filling element 1 is provided together with a plurality of similar filling elements 1 on the circumference of a rotatable about a vertical axis of the machine rotor 3 of a filling system or a filling machine rotating design.
- a ring vessel 4 for providing the liquid contents and several, i. In the illustrated embodiment, a total of three annular channels 5, 6 and 7.
- a gas chamber 4.2 are formed, which latter example, in a pressure filling the bottles from a pressurized inert gas (eg C02 gas) is taken.
- a pressurized inert gas eg C02 gas
- the ring channels 5-7 have different function depending on the filling process.
- the annular channel 5 serves, for example, to provide a pressurized Trinox gas, i. of a pressurized inert gas, e.g. is a C02 gas or nitrogen.
- the annular channel 6 serves for example to provide a pressurized clamping gas, i. a pressurized inert gas (e.g., CO 2 gas), and the annular channel 7 is e.g. a vacuum channel and serves for
- the Trinox tube 18 is passed through the Medelementgeophen 8 and projects with an upper, the upper end 18.1 forming length over the top of this case and is held, for example, with the local, also open end 18.2 on a support arm or support ring 19 of an adjusting device 20 , with which the Trinox tube 18 is axially movable (double arrow A), and indeed for adjusting the filling height to which the bottles 2 are filled after filling each with the liquid product.
- the upper end 18.2 of the Trinox tube 18 is connected via a control valve 21 with a common also for all filling element 1 of the Medmasche or the filling system annular channel 22, which serves as Brownsammelkanal in the illustrated embodiment and together with the control valve 21 on the
- control valves 28 - 31 are provided in the interior of the housing, via which in particular the gas channel 27 controlled in the manner described in more detail below with the ring channels 5-7 can be connected.
- the filling element 1 is a filling method with the following
- the liquid valve 14 and all control valves 21 and 28 - 31 are initially in the closed state.
- Each to be filled bottle 2 is raised with the bottle plate 13 against the filling element 1, so that it then rests with its bottle mouth in sealing position against the filling element 1.
- an evacuation of the bottle 2 preferably takes place first, namely by opening the control valve 30 to establish a connection between the annular channel 7 and the gas channel 27 communicating with the interior of the bottle 2.
- the interior of the bottle is biased to the inflation pressure with a pressurized inert gas, after closing the
- Control valve 30 by opening the control valve 29 for establishing a connection between the gas channel 27 and the annular channel 6.
- the biasing may also precede a simple or multiple flushing of the bottle interior with the inert gas, for which the interior of the bottle by appropriate control of the control valves 29 and 30 at least once additionally evacuated and then charged with the inert gas. After biasing the bottle 2 on the filling pressure is for the actual
- Filling phase is done deliberately overfilling the bottle 2 to one above the
- the filling element 1 b is particularly suitable for Trinox filling process with treatment of the collected in the annular channel 22 filling.
