Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a filling valve for filling a container with a filling product, preferably a beverage, in a beverage filling plant.
  • the desired components can be dosed and filled individually via separate dosing stations, for example from the US 2008/0271809 A1 known.
  • the use of separate dosing stations for a large number of components leads to a complex system structure and process flow, since the filling of each container is divided into several separate dosing / filling stations at which the container must be positioned for the duration of the respective dosing times.
  • the components can be brought together in a common filling valve, see for example EP 0 775 668 A1 and WO 2009/114121 A1 .
  • a component to be added to a base fluid is metered in front of the filling valve outlet, with the desired amount being measured, for example, by measuring the volume using a flow meter EP 0 775 668 A1 ) or by another volumetric dispensing technology ( WO 2009/114121 A1 ), for example by means of a metering piston and / or a diaphragm pump.
  • High dosing accuracy can be achieved by measuring with the aid of a flow meter. This measures the volume to be dosed or the mass to be dosed and closes a shut-off valve in the dosing line when a threshold value is reached.
  • Other volumetric Dosing methods such as the use of pumps or time / pressure filling, often have greater uncertainties and tend to react more sensitively to changes in the dosage medium, for example to changes in pressure, temperature or composition. Frequent calibration, especially when changing the dosage medium, is the result. A gravimetric measurement of the dosages is hardly possible due to the large differences between the dosage weight for small quantities ( ⁇ l) and the container weight.
  • the technologies outlined above are characterized by the fact that the components are mixed at a later point in time, i.e. either during or just before filling.
  • One advantage of the late addition of components in contrast to the likewise common industrial mixing of large quantities and later filling, is that the carry-over of intense aromatic substances, which migrate into seals and cannot be completely removed from the seals by cleaning, is avoided can. If the components are transported separately from one another up to the container mouth and the dosage remains drip-free, the carryover of components or their aromatic substances can be essentially excluded.
  • the technical problems described above have led to a further development of the dosing / filling process, for example from the EP 2 272 790 A1 and DE 10 2009 049 583 A1 emerges.
  • the components of the filling product are dosed directly during filling by means of a flow meter and fed into the container to be filled together, with a main component being displaced backwards by the added component during the dosing.
  • the displaced volume of the main component is determined by means of the flow meter, and thus the volume of the metered component is also known and controllable.
  • the main component together with the metered component, is completely flushed out of the filling valve into the container, whereby the total filling quantity can be determined with the same flow meter.
  • the filling quantities and the added component quantities can be redefined. This enables highly flexible filling of individualized drinks without changeover times.
  • the filling valve can be equipped with swirl bodies, which can be implemented, for example, in the form of guide vanes or swirl channels, for example from FIG DE 40 12 849 A1 and DE 26 20 753 A1 known.
  • swirl valves described above do not provide a stepless control function of the flow rate and are therefore not suitable for current high-performance filling machines, in particular with flexible metering through backward displacement.
  • a control valve proportional flow regulator, PFR
  • PFR proportional flow regulator
  • the use of two regulating devices in series - shut-off and flow control - is structurally complex and increases the pressure loss.
  • filling valves for different purposes (carbonized or still filling products, with or without pieces, glass or PET containers, etc.). This leads to high care and maintenance costs as well as many machine variants.
  • One object of the invention is to provide an improved filling valve, in particular to improve the hygienic properties in the case of frequent product changes with a compact and reliable design.
  • the filling valve according to the invention is set up for filling a container with a filling product, preferably a beverage in a beverage filling plant.
  • the filling product is preferably a multi-component filling product composed of a main component and at least one additional component.
  • the main component can be, for example, water or juice; the additional components can include, for example, syrup, pulp, fruit pieces, etc. If the filling product consists of only one main component, without additional component (s), the terms "main component” and "filling product” are used synonymously.
  • the filling valve comprises a valve base body with an outlet which is set up to dispense or introduce the filling product into the container.
  • the container mouth is usually located directly below the outlet during filling.
  • the container mouth can rest against an mouth section of the valve base body.
  • the filling valve can also be used as a free-jet valve.
  • the valve base body has a swirl chamber which is designed to receive the filling product and can be brought into fluid connection with the outlet.
  • the valve base body also has a main inlet which opens into the swirl chamber and is designed to introduce at least one main component of the filling product into the swirl chamber in such a way that the filling product is swirled in the swirl chamber.
  • the swirl chamber has an annular shape, the cross-sectional contour of which has a round shape in the direction of extent and perpendicular to the direction of extent, preferably essentially without corner points.
  • the swirl chamber wall is geometrically essentially continuous and differentiable both along its ring axis and perpendicular to it.
  • the wording "essentially” indicates, on the one hand, that corners, for example in the mouth areas of the main inlet and any secondary inlets described below, cannot always be avoided, and on the other hand, that geometrical terms such as “continuous,” differentiable ",” Corner points "etc., are not to be interpreted ideally mathematically. It is important that the cross-sectional contours of the swirl chamber mentioned do not have a polygonal, perhaps rectangular, shape.
  • spatial information such as “below”, “below”, “above”, “above” etc. relate to the installation position of the filling valve, which is clearly determined by the direction of gravity.
  • the axial direction of the same in the installed state at least substantially coincides with the direction of gravity.
  • the valve body requires neither swirl elements, such as guide vanes or swirl channels, nor additional flow guides and is therefore very hygienic and tolerant of disperse solid / liquid mixtures containing, for example, pieces of fruit, slurry, fruit fibers or the like. Furthermore, the size of pieces in the flow is hardly limited due to the lack of swirl bodies.
  • the valve body allows a complete flushing of the valve interior with a minimal flush volume, due to the high turbulence that can be achieved in the swirl chamber and a comparatively small surface.
  • the swirl chamber in There are essentially no corners in which flavorings, pieces of fruit and the like could get caught. This also optimizes the flushability. For these reasons, the valve body is particularly suitable for the flexible, container-wise change of filling product, in particular with components that can be added.
  • filling valve with the valve body can be used for wall filling as well as for free-jet filling or for products to be filled atmospherically, the large number of filling valve variants for different applications is reduced. This reduces the care and maintenance effort and the number of machine variants.
  • Filling systems that are equipped with filling valves of the type described here can be used universally. They can be used to fill a wide variety of different beverages, container formats and materials (PET, glass, can, still, carbonated, etc.).
  • the swirl chamber preferably has the shape of a torus.
  • the term "torus" refers not only to a body of revolution constructed from a circular contour, even if this is preferred, but the rotational contour or surface can also be elliptical, oval or round in some other way as long as polygonal corners and edges are dispensed with . Such a rotationally symmetrical structure further supports the formation of a uniform twist and the ability to flush out.
  • the main inlet preferably opens tangentially into the swirl chamber.
  • tangential does not require a geometrically perfect tangential connection of the main inlet. Rather, it can make structural sense to let the main inlet flow into the swirl chamber at a certain angle. It is important that the inflow direction in this case is essentially from the side, i.e. not from above, and thus leads directly to a swirl, i.e. a ring flow, in the swirl chamber.
  • the tangential inlet of the filling product from the main inlet into the swirl chamber Due to the tangential inlet of the filling product from the main inlet into the swirl chamber, it is optimally swirled, whereby the filling product is driven outwards due to centrifugal force and flows downwards in a spiral movement in the container, preferably on the container wall, after exiting the outlet.
  • the tapering or constriction of the swirl chamber towards the outlet results in a pressure drop and thus a stabilization of the swirl.
  • the lateral, ie tangential, main inlet opening into the swirl chamber also creates space above the swirl chamber.
  • valve body The space is unobstructed and can be used to expand the valve body in a modular manner, so that the formation of variants or Differentiation of the filling valve for specific applications can take place late, which saves costs and resources.
  • the compact design of the valve body enables, for example, the hygienic integration of a valve cone drive for flow control and, if necessary, other control functions (gas valve (s) for preloading the container, return gas line (s), relief line (s), solenoid valve (s), etc.) above the valve body.
  • a control board for implementing decentralized control architectures can be installed in a valve head above the basic valve body.
  • At least the axial outer wall of the swirl chamber preferably merges continuously and differentially into the main inlet, in order to optimize swirl formation and flushability.
  • the main inlet in the region of the opening into the swirl chamber preferably has essentially the same cross-sectional contour perpendicular to the direction of extension as the swirl chamber. Both contours are preferably circular with essentially the same diameter. In this way, the tangential supply of the filling product optimally merges into the ring flow within the swirl chamber.
  • the outlet is preferably ring-shaped, the likewise ring-shaped swirl chamber gradually tapering towards the outlet, as a result of which the filling product flows downward in the container in a spiral movement after exiting the outlet.
  • the swirl chamber preferably has a shape that is axially symmetrical to the axis of the annular outlet.
  • the filling valve preferably has a valve cone, preferably made at least partially from Teflon and / or preferably designed to be adjustable.
  • the possible adjustability of the valve cone can include a shut-off function and / or flow control, as set out below.
  • the valve base body thus preferably has a valve cone which is adjustably set up for regulating the flow of the filling product through the outlet.
  • flow control here means a change in the flow by adjusting the valve cone, without this encompassing a complete suppression of the flow, ie a flow of zero. A binary switching on and off of the flow is therefore not covered by the flow control.
  • the adjustability of the valve cone is preferably carried out in a translatory manner along the axial direction determined by the outlet. Also the valve cone itself preferably extends along the axial direction.
  • the valve cone is preferably continuously adjustable within a working path.
  • valve cone supports the swirl formation.
  • the valve cone stroke can be flexibly increased during the filling process, which means that the adjustability of the valve cone can not only be used to regulate the filling speed but also expand the range of fillable products.
  • valve cone is made of Teflon, the drainage behavior can be improved due to the low surface energy. If, in addition, a valve cone made of Teflon is combined with a valve housing made of stainless steel, such a material pairing can ensure complete sealing, even at high differential pressures, provided the filling valve provides a shut-off function. Teflon also has a very good resistance to any migration of flavorings.
  • the valve base body preferably has a valve seat, the valve cone and the valve seat being set up such that the valve cone is in sealing contact with the valve seat in a shut-off position for a complete closing of the outlet.
  • the integration of flow control and shut-off functions in the valve body allows a reduction in the number of components and a simplification of the product path. This leads to lower pressure losses and contributes to gentler product handling and less foam formation during the filling process.
  • the filling valve preferably has a regulating valve, which is connected upstream of the valve body, whereby pressure surges can be intercepted at the beginning of the filling process and the constriction of the product flow can be improved towards the end of the filling process and the swirl can be reliably maintained.
  • the valve cone preferably has a conical outlet contour which tapers towards the outlet and extends at least partially into the swirl chamber. In this way, the design of the valve body is particularly compact.
  • the swirl chamber preferably extends essentially axially symmetrically around the valve cone.
  • the valve cone penetrates the swirl chamber centrally, whereby the valve cone synergistically forms part of the wall that forms the swirl chamber.
  • the valve body can be made even more compact, the functionalities of the valve cone and the swirl chamber being structurally integrated.
  • the valve body preferably has one or more secondary inlets which open into the swirl chamber and are designed to introduce one or more additional components of the filling product into the swirl chamber in such a way that they mix with the main component therein.
  • the secondary inlets allow any additional components to be mixed in directly in the swirl chamber, which ensures that the valve body can be easily rinsed out and minimizes any aroma carryover.
  • the filling valve is therefore particularly suitable for applications in filling systems that are set up for flexible dosing and immediate product change through backward displacement.
  • the filling product is made up of several components, a main component such as water or juice and at least one additional component such as syrup, mixed together directly in the swirl chamber of the filling valve.
  • a main component such as water or juice
  • additional component such as syrup
  • the additional components of the filling product are introduced into the swirl chamber and introduced into the container to be filled under swirl.
  • the main component previously supplied by the main feed is displaced backwards.
  • the displaced volume of the main component is determined, for example, by means of a flow meter, and the volume of the metered component (s) is thus also known and controllable.
  • the main component together with the metered components, is completely flushed out of the filling valve into the container, whereby the total filling quantity can be determined with the same flow meter.
  • the filling quantities and the added component quantities can be redefined. This enables highly flexible and hygienic filling of individualized beverages, essentially without changeover times.
  • the valve base body preferably has a valve housing which forms at least part of the wall delimiting the swirl chamber and the outlet, as a result of which the valve base body is structurally simplified and particularly reliable.
  • the valve housing can be manufactured in one piece.
  • the valve housing is preferably a cast body.
  • At least one of the secondary inlets is preferably formed by openings in the valve housing.
  • the valve body preferably has a membrane made of a deformable material, preferably Teflon, which forms part of the wall delimiting the swirl chamber, preferably in the upper area.
  • the membrane on the valve housing is connected to an outer contour, which is preferably circular, and to the valve cone, if present, to an inner contour, which is preferably also circular.
  • the lateral, ie tangential, main inlet opening into the swirl chamber creates space above the swirl chamber in addition to the aforementioned technical effects, which can be used to mount a membrane which seals the swirl chamber in the upper area.
  • the membrane is made of a deformable or flexible material, which means that it can follow the axial movement of the valve cone and at the same time ensure a hygienic seal.
  • the working range of the valve cone also determines the degree of deformability that the membrane material has to provide. This functionality means that the terms "flexible”, “deformable” etc. are determined in relation to the membrane.
  • the flexibility of the membrane and the nature of the material, especially in the case of Teflon also support filling of the filling product with a twist, even with very low filling flows. An unintentional, local maximum of the flow at the beginning of a filling process, before a steady flow occurs under swirl, can be counteracted by adjusting the valve cone or by means of a control valve located upstream.
  • the symmetry of the membrane also allows a design with a high number of load cycles, as is usually necessary for filling valves.
  • the membrane preferably has an annular clamping section which is designed for attachment to the valve housing.
  • the valve housing On the outside facing away from the swirl chamber, the valve housing preferably has one or more interfaces for the respective connection of a line or a metering valve, as a result of which the filling valve can be expanded in a modular manner.
  • any additional components can be metered in precisely, especially in the case of flexible metering by means of backward displacement.
  • the valve base body preferably has a gas channel which penetrates the valve cone in the axial direction, the gas channel preferably providing separate gas paths via a tube-in-tube construction.
  • the gas channel can be used as a return gas channel in order to divert a gaseous atmosphere in the container that is displaced from the container during filling.
  • the gas channel can, however, also have a multi-channel construction in order to create separate inlet and exhaust gas paths, for example in order to evacuate the container to be filled, to pretension it with a tension gas such as carbon dioxide, to flush it, to clean it, etc.
  • the filling valve preferably has a valve cone drive which is mechanically connected to a connection section of the valve cone and is designed to actuate the valve cone, preferably electromotive, magnetic, pneumatic or hydraulic, the valve cone drive preferably having a spring for pretensioning the valve cone into a working position, preferably the shut-off position.
  • a valve cone drive which is mechanically connected to a connection section of the valve cone and is designed to actuate the valve cone, preferably electromotive, magnetic, pneumatic or hydraulic, the valve cone drive preferably having a spring for pretensioning the valve cone into a working position, preferably the shut-off position.
  • the filling valve has a valve center part which is attached to the valve base body, and a valve head part which is attached to the valve center part, the valve center part comprising the valve cone drive.
  • the tangential main inlet set out above leaves the upper side of the valve body unobstructed in such a way that one or more valve components can be attached in a stack, which means that the filling valve can be constructed in a modular manner and the creation of variants or differentiation for the specific application can only take place late. This reduces the amount of care and maintenance required and the number of machine variants.
  • the valve head part preferably has one or more supply connections that are in fluid communication with the gas channel and each provide an inlet and / or outlet for gas, whereby the filling valve can be used flexibly and is easy to install and maintain thanks to the easily accessible supply connections on the valve head part.
  • the valve head part preferably has one or more gas valve interfaces for connecting a gas valve in each case, so that the filling valve can be built or configured in a more modular manner and the creation of variants or differentiation for the specific application can only take place late.
  • the filling valve also has a rod-shaped height probe which can be introduced through the gas channel and is designed to protrude into the container in the introduced state and to detect a filling level of the filling product in the container.

  • the valve base body 10 has a swirl chamber 11 designed as an annular channel or torus.
  • the valve body 10 also has one in the perspective of Figure 1 Main inlet 12, not visible, which opens tangentially or essentially tangentially into the swirl chamber 11.
  • the main inlet 12 is shown schematically in FIG Figure 2 emerged.
  • the main inlet 12 is also in the exemplary embodiments Figures 2 , 3a, 3b and others shown.
  • the swirl chamber 11 tapers to an annular outlet 13, from which the filling product emerges during filling and into a container placed below the valve base body 10 (in the Figures 1 and 2 not shown).
  • the tangential supply of the filling product from the main inlet 12 into the swirl chamber 11 causes it to swirl, causing the filling product to be driven outwards by centrifugal force and, after exiting the valve body 10, it is pushed outwards and flows down the container wall.
  • the tapering or constriction of the swirl chamber 11 towards the outlet 13 leads, on the one hand, to a uniform, well-defined swirl over the circumference and, on the other hand, is a decisive determining factor for the flow rate. If the degree of tapering, in particular the dimensions of the annular gap at the outlet 13, can be adjusted, an integrated flow control can be implemented, possibly up to the point of blocking, or the maximum size of the pieces in the filling product can be changed.

  • valve cone 14 takes place within the working area, ie between a fully open position and a closed position or a position of the minimum flow, preferably continuously. If the internal shape of the valve housing 15 forms a valve seat 16 which is in sealing contact with the valve cone 14 in a closed position of the filling valve 1, the outlet 13 can be completely closed, thereby realizing a shut-off function.
  • the lateral, i.e. tangential, main inlet 12 opening into the swirl chamber 11 creates space above the swirl chamber 11 in addition to the technical effects mentioned above.

  • the membrane 17 has a circular outer contour which is connected directly or indirectly to the valve housing 15 via a fastening means.
  • the membrane 17 is attached to the valve cone 14 radially on the inside.
  • the membrane 17 is made of a flexible material, preferably Teflon, so that it can follow the axial movement of the valve cone 14 and at the same time ensure that the swirl chamber 11 is hygienically sealed.
  • the symmetry of the membrane 17 also allows a design with a high number of load cycles, as is mostly necessary for filling valves.
  • the valve base body 10 also has a gas channel 18 which centrally penetrates the valve cone 14 in the axial direction.
  • the gas channel 18 is, for example, a return gas channel in order to discharge any gas, such as tension gas, which is displaced from the container during filling.
  • the gas duct 18 can, however, also have a multi-duct construction, for example a pipe-in-pipe construction, in order to create separate inlet and exhaust gas paths.
  • the valve cone 14 ends essentially directly below a throttle point, ie the narrowest point of the annular gap forming the outlet 13, whereby a defined change is realized from a single-phase gap flow to a wall film flow in the container. A well-defined, constant trailing edge of the liquid is thus formed, namely at the point with the highest flow velocity.
  • the valve seat 16 is preferably located, ie the Shut-off point in the immediate vicinity of the tear-off edge, which minimizes the surfaces that could lead to dripping.
  • the valve cone 14 is preferably made of Teflon, whereby the drainage behavior is improved due to the low surface energy. If, in addition, the valve housing 15 is made of stainless steel, such a material pairing can ensure complete sealing even at high differential pressures.
  • valve body 10 does not require any swirl elements such as guide vanes or swirl channels or additional flow guides and is therefore very hygienic and tolerant of disperse solid / liquid mixtures containing, for example, fruit pieces, slurry, fruit fibers or the like. Furthermore, the size of pieces in the flow is hardly limited due to the lack of swirl bodies. For filling large pieces, for example with volumes of 5x5x5 mm or more, the valve cone stroke can be flexibly increased during the filling process.
  • the valve base body 10 is particularly suitable for the wall filling set out above, in which the filling product runs spirally down the inner wall of the container.
  • a filling valve 1 equipped with the valve base body 10 can also be used as a free-jet valve.
  • the valve base body 10 can be used as a hygienic control valve by installing it in a corresponding filling product line with a subsequent calming section and, if necessary, a gas barrier at the outlet. If necessary, the twist can be removed by a radial instead of tangential main inlet 12.
  • valve body 10 allows the valve interior, in particular the swirl chamber 11 and the outlet 13 adjoining it in the filling direction, to be completely flushed out with a minimal flush volume due to the high turbulence that can be achieved in the swirl chamber 11 and a comparatively small surface.
  • the valve base body 10 is particularly suitable for frequent, for example up to container-wise, changing of the filling product, in particular components that can be added. Due to the particularly good flushability, the valve body 10 can also be used in aseptic filling machines.
  • valve body 10 allows a reduction in the number of components and a simplification of the product path. This leads to lower pressure losses and contributes to gentler product handling and less foam formation during the filling process.
  • valve body 10 also enables hygienic integration of the valve cone drive and, if necessary, further control functions in the valve head, i.e. above the swirl chamber 11, for example an integration of gas valves for pretensioning the containers, return gas lines, relief lines, solenoid valves for further separate control functions in the area of the filling valve 1 such as raising and lowering the valve, adding components, etc.
  • a control circuit board for implementing decentralized control architectures can be installed in the valve head.
