Definitions

  • the invention relates to a system and a method for filling containers.
  • the production time for the containers and for the crates differs significantly, however, since compared to the number of crates there are a large number of bottles which, moreover, have to be passed through more stations than the crates.
  • a cleaning machine for containers (Reima) or a pasteurizer can accommodate several thousand containers.
  • the present invention is based on the object of providing a system and a method for filling containers that allow simple and quick changeover from a first container in a first box to a second container in a second box.
  • a system for filling containers comprises an empties task, via which boxes with empty containers are fed to the system in order to refill them, an unpacker that removes the containers from the boxes, at least one treatment station, in particular for cleaning and Filling the containers, at least one treatment station, in particular a crate washer for the crates, a packer to which the finished containers and the empty crates can be fed, for packing the containers into the crates.
  • a box distribution switch that can feed the boxes to the packer or discharge the boxes from the system, i.e. can bypass the packer.
  • the system further comprises a first counting device for determining the number of containers supplied to the system and a second counting device for determining a number of boxes which are passed to the packer.
  • the system also has a calculating device which, on the basis of signals from the first and second counting devices, can calculate how many crates still have to be supplied for the determined number of supplied containers so that all of the containers can be packed.
  • the second counting device can have at least one counter for determining the number of crates supplied, the at least one counter preferably being arranged in the area of the empty container and / or in the area of the depalletizer and / or in the area of the unpacker. It is advantageous if a first counter is arranged at the very beginning of the system, since it is then always known how many boxes are already in the system at a certain point in time. Additionally or alternatively, a counter can also be provided in an area of the box distribution switch up to the area of the packer. In this way it can be determined directly how many crates are fed to the packer.
  • the number of crates removed can be determined by subtracting the number determined after the distribution switch from the number determined in front of the distribution switch.
  • the corresponding counter can also be integrated in the distribution switch or in the packer.
  • the expression “in the area” means here that the corresponding counters can be integrated into the corresponding modules and / or are then arranged on the transport route before the subsequent module.
  • the first counting device can comprise at least one counter for counting the containers supplied, the at least one counter preferably being arranged after the unpacker, viewed in the direction of transport. It is advantageous to count the containers after the unpacker, as it can happen that not all spaces in the boxes are filled with containers. The number of containers supplied can thus be recorded more precisely. Viewed in the direction of transport, the accuracy of the counting improves with increasing distance from the empty container, since then, for example, broken or ejected containers are automatically recorded during the count. However, it would also be possible to determine a corresponding number of containers when empties are fed in or at the depalletizer, for example by counting the number of pallets (if the number of boxes per pallet and container per box is known). However, a corresponding count is less precise than that described above.
  • the first counting device prefferably has at least one second counter which can determine a number of removed containers. For example, if there is a bottle inspection device in front of the filler that sorts out defective containers, a corresponding number can be counted and deducted from the number of recorded supplied containers.
  • the number of supplied containers recorded by the at least one counter can be corrected by the calculation device by a correction value, in particular empirically determined. If, for example, the containers are counted relatively at the beginning of the entire transport route, for example in the area of the unpacker or the cleaning machine, and it is known from previous processes how large the proportion of rejects is up to the packer, the counted number can be corrected accordingly become.
  • the calculation device can send signals to a display, in particular to a mobile reporting system, which visually or acoustically indicates how many empty boxes and / or in particular pallets are still to be added to the system, for example via an empty frame task.
  • the operating personnel then know exactly how many empty boxes or how many pallets with empty boxes still have to be fed in via the empty frame feed and can arrange for the corresponding.
  • the display can also be a stationary display on the pallet feeder from the depalletizer, so that the forklift driver knows which and how many pallets of which type he has to place where.
  • the calculation device sends corresponding signals to a control unit that controls a transport device that automatically transfers the empty boxes, in particular the corresponding pallets that were previously ejected from the system to avoid an excess or for other reasons System supplies again. This makes the handling of the system much easier.
  • buffer sections can be provided for the boxes on the transport path.
  • Corresponding box stores or box magazines can also be provided, for example.
  • Corresponding buffers allow greater leeway in process management and in particular prevent individual transport sections from being blocked and also enable continuous process management. For example, there can be buffer sections between the empty container and a palletizer and / or between the depalletizer and the unpacker and / or between the crate washer and the box distributor and / or between the box distributor and the packer and / or between the depalletizer and the distributor and / or an empty frame task and a depalletizer and / or between the packer and the palletizer.
  • the system is advantageously designed in such a way that a depalletizer is provided between the empty container and the unpacker and a palletizer is arranged after the packer.
  • the empty crates ejected by the crate distribution switch can then be fed to the palletizer via a corresponding transport route.
  • the palletizer which is provided for the completely filled containers in the boxes, can also be used for the discharged empty boxes, which are then available on pallets in order to be accepted again from an empty frame task to boxes at the end of the process to feed on.
  • separating devices in particular box stoppers, on a transport route from a depalletizer to a palletizer.
  • the separating device can also be a box conveyor, which is stopped to separate the box streams.
  • successive boxes in particular boxes of different types, can be prevented from being driven open. This means that areas between different treatment stations can be kept free. This also enables different products to be subsequently treated in one system.
  • At least one separating device is also provided for the containers on their transport path and the system preferably also includes a new glass feed, with the new glass container flow advantageously also being able to be accumulated by a separating device. New glass can thus be supplied in a targeted manner.
  • the separating device can also be a container conveyor which is stopped to separate the container flows.
  • the function signals from different treatment stations are advantageously used to count the containers or boxes.
  • the depalletizer can be connected to the second counting device, with signals being generated during depalletizing, on the basis of which the second counting device counts the boxes. This means, for example, that every time the depalletizer clears a pallet, a corresponding signal is passed on to the counting device, from which, for example, the number of boxes can be determined or the number of containers if the number of boxes per pallet and number of containers per box is known .
  • the production of a first container in a first box is switched to the production of a second container in a second box.
  • First the first containers are filled into the first boxes and after the last first box has been fed into the system, production of the second can begin immediately afterwards
  • Containers are started in the second boxes, which are then also fed to the system and unpacked.
  • the second containers and the second boxes are then further treated separately in at least one treatment station each.
  • the finished treated second containers are then packed into the finished treated empty second boxes by a packer.
  • the second boxes are first ejected via the box distribution switch.
  • the box distribution switch At the beginning of production means here in a period in which no filled containers are available for packing or more boxes are being conveyed than are needed for packing and there is space on a backlog in front of the packer first treatment stations are located after the unpacker, for example after the unpacker in the area of the cleaning machine and the filler and have not yet passed through the last treatment station (e.g. labeler).
  • the crates must be ejected especially when the first crates are still in an area between the crate distribution switch and the packer.
  • the second boxes can then be fed to the packer via the box distribution switch so that the finished second containers can be packed there.
  • the distribution switch can be switched over at the earliest when the last first crate is transported over the distribution switch towards the packer at the end of production of the first containers.
  • the number of second containers that were fed into the system during production is determined.
  • the number of second boxes supplied to the packer is also determined. This is used to calculate how many empty second boxes are still necessary for the determined number of second containers that have been added. A corresponding number can then be added.
  • the number of crates fed to the packer can be determined in different ways. For example, the number of crates of one type that have been fed into the system can be counted and a number of crates of the same type that have been removed from the system in front of the packer can be subtracted from this, for example via the distribution gate or via an inspection device, etc.
  • the number of crates fed to the packer can also be determined, for example, by counting the number of crates of a type that is passed from the crate distribution switch to the packer, for example through a measuring device, e.g. a light barrier on or after the box distribution switch. The number is preferably determined when the last box has passed the counter.
  • the number of second boxes or the next type that were fed into the system could be counted (for example in the start area of the system when empties are fed in or at the depalletizer). Then, by subtracting the number of containers forwarded to the packer from the number of boxes fed into the system, the number can be determined that was discharged from the system, whereby it is known at any point in time how many boxes are still in the system. If crate sorting is available, the number of crates returned can also be counted and taken into account accordingly.
  • second empty boxes on pallets are automatically fed into the system via an empty frame feed and the packer is additionally fed the calculated number of second boxes so that all the containers can be packed.
  • the number of boxes that were fed into the system via the empty frame feed can also be taken into account in the calculation.
  • the comparison or the calculation can take place relatively late, for example when the filling machine runs empty or even when the last treatment station (usually a labeling machine) runs empty, which enables the number of containers to be determined particularly precisely.
  • Excess crates fed into the system can, in the case of a very high number, also be ejected via the distribution switch, for example, or they can be removed manually by the operator or simply passed through the packer without being packed. The operator at the palletizer then removes the empty boxes in order to avoid mixed pallets with full and empty boxes.
  • the number of crates supplied can be determined in the area of the empty container and / or in the area of the depalletizer and / or in the area of the unpacker and / or in the area from the box distribution switch to the area of the packer.
  • the number of crates fed in can also be counted in the area of the empty frame feed in order to obtain an overview of how many empty cases were fed to the system via the empty frame feed.
  • the containers are preferably counted in the transport direction after the unpacker.
  • the start of the supply of the second containers in the second boxes already starts when there are still first containers and first boxes in the system. This is particularly efficient and enables the changeover time to be significantly reduced.
  • the crates ejected by the crate distribution switch are fed to the palletizer.
  • the boxes that are superfluous at the start of production can be stacked on pallets and then fed back to the empty frame feed.
  • separating devices can be actuated which accumulate the second boxes in order to prevent the first and subsequent second boxes from driving open. Separating devices can also be provided which prevent mixing of the first and second containers.
  • the transport path between the distribution switch and the palletizer is at least as long or a corresponding accumulation path or box storage is provided so that the number of boxes that can be transported on this path is at least the number of boxes (e.g. second boxes) that should have space on a pallet , corresponds. This ensures that a pallet can be fully loaded and transported further by the palletizer without delays.
  • the feeding of second new glass containers, in particular into the inlet to a cleaning machine takes place before the second containers are fed from the unpacker to the cleaning machine, in particular the feeding starts when the last first containers are in the cleaning machine and the infeed conveyor of the cleaning machine is / has been stopped.
  • This has the advantage that second containers are available at the packer more quickly.
  • the reject can be determined by, for example, the number of containers supplied in an area before the first treatment station the unpacker or at the unpacker is counted and the number of containers after a last treatment station station, for example after labeling by the labeling machine.
  • the containers pass a labeling machine after a filler and the number of second containers supplied after the labeling machine has run empty is counted at or after the labeling machine. A corresponding number of second boxes can then be calculated that is still required to pack all of the containers. Any missing second boxes are fed to the packer. Surplus boxes in the system can be discharged via the distribution switch. In the case of pallet-wise feeding, this has the advantage that exactly as many or at least as many boxes are transported to the packer via the distribution switch as is necessary to pack the specific number.
  • the second containers or boxes are only treated in the corresponding treatment stations if, if necessary, the corresponding treatment station has been switched to the second container or boxes.
  • a changeover can take place if either an operator initiates a changeover at a certain point in time, or a changeover takes place automatically when the last containers or crates of the first type have passed the corresponding treatment station.
  • a calculation device can also determine when a changeover is necessary.
  • a corresponding activation signal can then be generated so that the containers or crates of the second type can then be treated in the treatment station.
  • a corresponding activation signal can also be generated by an operator, for example by pressing a button.
  • Fig. 1 shows a system for filling containers according to the present invention.
  • the system has an empties task 2, via which boxes with empty containers can be fed to the system in pallets.
  • the pallets can be transported to a depalletizer 10 via the transport path A using appropriate transport means, for example chain conveyors or roller conveyors.
  • the depalletizer 10 is connected to a next station, here for example the crate uncorker and the unpacker 3, via a transport path B.
  • Crate uncorkers and unpackers are combined here, as they are arranged at a short distance from one another and operated or changed over by the same operator.
  • the crate uncorker and unpacker can also be spatially separated from one another.
  • the box uncorker (for crown caps) can also be a box unscrewer (for screw caps).
  • the containers are removed from the boxes and fed to different treatment stations separately from one another.
  • the empty crates are fed to a subsequent treatment station, here for example a crate washer 4, via a transport path C.
  • the empty crates can then either be fed to further treatment stations via a further transport path D and / or are routed directly to a crate distribution switch 5.

  • the pasteurizer 21 is not used.
  • the labeling machine is, for example, the last treatment station and the finished containers are transported via the transport path J to the packer 9 and packed.
  • the packer can also have control devices. For example, an empty crate control can be arranged in front of the packer and a full crate control after the packer. These controls are mostly supervised by the operator of the packer.
  • the filled containers packed in the boxes can then be guided to a palletizer 11 via the transport path M.
  • the fully loaded pallets are then either transported out of the system via the transport path K or can pass through further treatment stations, such as a binder 22 or a pallet labeling machine 23.
  • the boxes with filled containers can be transported from the system to a sink for full pallets.
  • the empty boxes transported from the distribution switch 5 via the transport path F to the palletizer 11 can also be transported away from the system via a transport path K after the corresponding pallets have been fully loaded, in order to later be fed back to a so-called empty frame task 18 via the pallets, if necessary empty boxes without containers can be fed.
  • the containers pass through more treatment stations on their transport route G, H, I, J than the unpacked crates on their transport route C, D, E from unpacker 3 to packer 9.
  • the treatment of a container from the unpacker 3 to the packer 9 takes longer than the treatment of a box from the unpacker 3 to the packer 9. The same must be taken into account when changing products from a first product in a first box to a second product with a second box .

  • the boxes filled with completely filled first containers are then fed to the palletizer 11 via the transport path M via the path K, for example via a binder and a pallet labeling machine, and guided out of the system to a full pallet sink.
  • the empty first crates washed by the crate washer 5 are passed to the packer 9 via the distributor switch 5.
  • FIG. 3 As in particular also from Fig. 3 is shown, so the second containers are fed in pallets in second boxes via the empties feeder and travel to the depalletizer 10. In the meantime, the last first boxes have left the depalletizer 10. In the meantime, therefore, for example, already empty first boxes can be conveyed from an empty frame task 18 to the depalletizer 10, with FIG Fig. 3 For example, a pallet with empty first boxes is already being transported to the distribution switch 5, but is stopped at the distribution switch 5, since the first empty boxes are still being conveyed from the box washer 4 via the distribution switch 5 to the packer 9.
  • Fig. 4 shows, the last first box was unpacked by the unpacker 3.
  • the unpacker gives a signal to the depalletizer 10 to indicate that the last box has been unpacked.
  • the depalletizer 10 can now begin depalletizing the second boxes filled with the second containers, which are transported further on the transport path B.
  • two empty pallets with the first boxes were depalletized and driven to unpacker 3. This means that the rest of the first containers in the first boxes are still running through the treatment stations 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 22, 23, while the second containers are already being fed into the system in second boxes.
  • the distributor switch 5 still stops empty crates from the empty frame feed 18 and the depalletizer 10 and only lets the first empty crates from the crate washer 4 in the direction of the packer 9.
  • Fig. 5 the second boxes with the empty second containers now already reach the unpacker 3.
  • the last first box from the unpacker has now left the distribution switch 5 in the direction of the packer 9.
  • the box distributor 5 sends a signal to the depalletizer 10, which depalletizes further empty first crates from the empty frame feeder 18.
  • the distribution switch 5 is switched to empty crates that have been delivered from the empty frame feeder 18 via the depalletizer 10.
  • the calculation device 17 has already calculated for the first containers in the first boxes how many empty boxes must also be fed to the system at the end of production via the empty frame feed in order to compensate for the number of boxes ejected at the beginning of production.
  • the first counting device has determined the number of containers supplied to the system via a counter, for example via a counter 12a after the last first container has been unpacked, and / or with one or more of the other counters 12b, 12c, 12d, if in each case here the last container has passed the counter.
  • There the ejected containers (for example from a bottle inspection device 14) that have been counted can be withdrawn.
  • the determined value can also be corrected by an empirically determined or a statistically determined correction value.
  • the second counting device can determine how many boxes have been fed in the direction of the packer 9, for example when the last first box has passed the counter. From this it can be determined how many additional boxes have to be additionally guided to the packer via the empty frame task 18 via the distribution switch 5 so that all the containers can be packed.
  • the determined number of bins is how out Fig. 6-8 is shown, then fed to the packer 9. It can also be determined and displayed how many pallets still have to be fed to the empty frame feeder 18 at a certain point in time ( Fig. 6 ). This can be displayed or, as described above, can be done automatically.
  • the prerequisite for the treatment and subsequent further transport of the new type of pallets / boxes / containers is that a necessary changeover of the treatment station to the new type has taken place - if necessary.
  • This information can be confirmed by the operator, for example by pressing a button or can also be recorded automatically.
  • Fig. 7 new glass containers of the second type are fed to the cleaning machine. It is also possible for the new glass containers to be fed to a container rinser (not shown) which is located directly in front of the filler.
  • the depalletizer 10 can depalletize further pallets from the empty container 2, which are then driven towards the unpacker.
  • the empty second boxes from the box washer 5 are not fed to the packer 9, since here the empty first boxes are still being transported on the route E and, beyond that, there are no finished second containers available for the packer 9.
  • the second boxes that bypassed the packer 9 by the packer on the route F are accumulated in front of the palletizer by a separating device, since the first fully filled boxes are still being palletized. In the meantime, the second containers can already be fed to the treatment stations one after the other.
  • Fig. 11 As can be seen, the last first boxes filled with full containers move from the packer 9 to the palletizer 11, and an incomplete remaining pallet can move out of the system. Excess first boxes can, for example, empty to the palletizer 11 or can be ejected from the transport path, for example by means of operator intervention or automatically.
  • Fig. 12 it can be seen that the second empty boxes transported on the route F and D by separating elements are fed to the palletizer 11 and placed on pallets and removed from the system, but without being bound or labeled, after which these empty second pallets at another Product change can be fed back to the empty frame task 18 at the end of the process. It is possible and advantageous that a counting device 15d has determined the number of crates that have been discharged via the distribution switch.
  • Fig. 13 shows that after the second containers have been filled by the labeling machine, the distributor switch 5 is now switched over and the empty second boxes are passed from the crate washer 5 to the packer 9 so that the second containers can be packed into the second boxes.
  • the switch 5 for transporting the empty second boxes from the box washer can only be switched when there are no more empty boxes in the transport section E and only so many boxes can be fed to the packer 9 that there is no blockage before packing can begin. How out Fig.
  • the second fully filled containers are now packed and the process is repeated when a third product is to be filled, at the end of the production of the second container in the second boxes, as described above in connection with the first boxes, with the Calculation device 17 determines how many empty boxes at the end of production in addition to the Empty second boxes that have already been delivered to the packer must be fed to the packer, and the corresponding action is taken.
  • Fig. 14 shows the method according to the invention again simplified according to an embodiment.
  • certain counters for example counters 12a or 12b, can be used to determine how many containers were supplied to the system during the production of a certain product.
  • the counts are advantageously carried out when the last container has passed through the measuring device or the counter.
  • it is determined how many containers have been discharged from the system, for example via the counter 13.
  • the counting device can then determine how many containers have been fed to the system in total.
  • the second counting device can be used to determine how many boxes are fed to the packer. It can either be determined, for example, how many boxes are fed into the system, for example via the counter 15a on the empty frame feeder 2, and how many boxes are ejected, in particular at the start of production, for example via the counter 15d or, if necessary, also ejected. Signals corresponding to the number of containers supplied to the system and the number of boxes supplied to the packer are then passed to the calculation device 17, which then calculates how many boxes are still missing so that all supplied containers can be packed. Since the boxes are fed in on pallets, the number of pallets can be determined. A corresponding number of boxes or pallets can then be supplied via an empty frame feed 18 for receiving empty boxes.
  • a display can show the operator how many pallets must be fed to the empty frame feed. If pallets have already been conveyed beforehand via the empty frame task 18 to the depalletizer 10 on route Q or to the transport route P between the depalletizer 10 and the distribution gate 5 (automatically via a transport device controlled by a control or manually) before the calculation was carried out, this number can also be selected via a counter 24 and / or 16 on the depalletizer and / or on the empty frame task 18 can be counted and taken into account in the calculation or display, as is clear from the dotted line 14.
