Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device and a method for filling a container with a filling product, for example for filling a container with a hot filling product in a hot filling in a beverage filling plant.
- Main component for example, filtered and degassed. Subsequent steps may include the assembly of this main component with a dosage product, for example a syrup, and further steps of sterilizing the filling product prior to actual filling into the containers to be filled.
- a dosage product for example a syrup
- the sterilization of the filling product is usually carried out by heating the filling product beyond a predetermined sterilization temperature and maintaining it at or above this sterilization temperature for a predetermined period of time. By this temperature treatment, the filling product is sterilized accordingly.
- the heated filling product is then introduced by means of a corresponding filling valve in the required volume, the required mass or the required level in the respective container.
- Container closures by means of a temperature above a predetermined
- the filling product which has already been heated anyway for its sterilization, is also used to sterilize the container and the container closure.
- the hot filling product which is located above the sterilization temperature necessary for container and closure sterilization, is filled into the container by means of the filling valve and the container is then closed. For example, by moving
- the temperature of the then filled, sealed and sterilized container is reduced in a cooling line.
- the hot filling product stored in a filling product reservoir is used to maintain the product
- Container closure is used, pumped in a cycle by a heater to maintain the temperature accordingly. Furthermore, the hot filling product is also pumped through the filling valve in order to avoid cooling of the filling product located in the feed lines to the filling valve and cooling of the filling valve itself. Both by pumping and by keeping the filling product at the high temperature for a long time, the filling product may be deteriorated in its properties. In particular, the aromas present in the filling product can be damaged by being held at a high temperature for a long time and the shearing operations during pumping.
- an apparatus for filling a container with a hot filling product comprising a filling valve for influencing the supply of the filling product into a container to be filled, a main component reservoir for providing a main component at the filling valve and a metering valve for metering a Dosage embarks from a
- a heating device for heating the main component is provided in order to provide the heated main component at the filling valve, wherein the dosing product is supplied to the dosing valve without heating.

Therefore, the time in which the filling product and in particular the then mixed dosage product in the filling product is exposed to the sterilization temperature is reduced overall in comparison to the known hot filling methods.
- Main component such as water
- Main component is present in heated form at the filling valve.
- Dosage product is metered via the metering valve in the filling valve shortly before opening the filling valve. Then opens the filling valve flushes the hot main component present in the filling valve dosage product together with the main component flow in the container to be filled. Mixing of the filling product accordingly takes place directly in the container.
- a sterilization device is preferably provided by means of which the heating power of the heater is adjusted so that the mixed in the container from the main component and the Dosage treating filling product reaches a predetermined target temperature ,

Accordingly, by means of the sterilization device, the heating power of the heater, which controls the temperature of the main component, be controlled so that the temperature of the main component is so pronounced that after mixing the filling product in the container from the hot main component and the colder Dosage apparatus according to the desired Temperature in the container is reached.
- the sterilization device preferably communicates with a temperature sensor in a dosage product supply for supplying the dosage product to the metering valve and is adapted to control the heating power of the heating device based on the temperature of the dosage product.
- the sterilization temperature and the duration of action can also vary depending on the particular filling product and, in particular, also on the properties of the dosage product. These variations can also be taken into account in the sterilization device in order to determine the desired target temperature of the filling product in the container.
- the sterilization device is preferably set up to regulate the heating power of the heating device on the basis of the volume ratios of the dosage product and the main component. If the mixing ratio of hot main component and cold dosage product changes, then the heating power and thus the temperature of the main component must be adapted accordingly in order to achieve the desired target temperature of the mixed filling product in the container. The target temperature must be reached in order to achieve the required
- the properties of the filling product and in particular the properties of the dosage product can be taken into account in determining the heat output. In this case, it may be of particular importance how long it takes for a mixture of the dosage product with the main component to take place. Only then can it safely be assumed that the dissolved in the main component or mixed with this dosage product on the given
- the sterilization device can also the beginning of the period over which the filling product in the container must be kept above the predetermined sterilization temperature, according to the properties of
- the above explanations also refer to devices in which more than one dosage product is added to the main component, and more particularly to devices in which two or more dosage valves are provided which each meter a dosage product into the filling valve before the filling valve is opened and then the dosage products present in the filling valve are flushed into the container together with the main component.
- the sterilization device may be due to the knowledge of
- Dosage volumina and the respective temperatures of the supplied Dosage area in combination with the planned Brown.volumen or in combination with the Dosageserver also the heating power of the heater for tempering the
- a circulation device is provided, by means of which the heated main component is circulated through the main component reservoir and / or through the filling valve, preferably in production stoppages. In this way it can be ensured that the
- Main component is always provided at the filling valve in the desired temperature. Furthermore, a cooling of the filling valve is counteracted in production breaks to ensure here too that when the production resumes after a production break from the first container already the target temperature of the filling product in the container is reached.
- a cooling device for cooling the dosage product is preferably provided in order to provide cooled dosage product at the metering valve. This can be carried out in accordance with a cooling of the dosage product, so that a temperature load of the dosage product until the
- a method for filling a container with a hot filling product comprising the steps of providing a main component to a
