Descrizione dettagliata di un esempio di realizzazione preferito Con riferimento alle figure citate, il fusto a perdere 1 sarà vantaggiosamente impiegabile per la distribuzione di bevande alimentari L, ad esempio birra, vino o succo di frutta. Il fusto a perdere 1 potrà essere installato in un sistema di distribuzione D presso locali pubblici quali bar, birrerie, cantine, ristoranti o similari per spillare dosate quantità di liquido mediante un dispositivo spillatore S. Detailed description of a preferred example of embodiment With reference to the aforementioned figures, the disposable keg 1 will be advantageously used for the distribution of food beverages L, for example beer, wine or fruit juice. The disposable keg 1 can be installed in a distribution system D in public places such as bars, breweries, cellars, restaurants or the like to tap measured quantities of liquid by means of a tap device S.
Il sistema D, in sé noto, può inoltre comprendere un recipiente in pressione B di un fluido di lavoro F, una prima linea L1 di adduzione del fluido di lavoro F al fusto a perdere 1 ed una seconda linea L2 per l'adduzione del liquido alimentare L al dispositivo spillatore S. The system D, per se known, can also comprise a pressure vessel B for a working fluid F, a first line L1 for the adduction of the working fluid F to the disposable drum 1 and a second line L2 for the adduction of the food liquid L to the tapping device S.
Il fusto a perdere 1 comprende essenzialmente un contenitore esterno 20 ed una sacca deformabile 30 disposta internamente a quest'ultimo. The disposable drum 1 essentially comprises an external container 20 and a deformable bag 30 arranged inside the latter.
Sono altresì previsti mezzi 40 per l'erogazione del liquido alimentare L verso il dispositivo spillatore S, i quali potranno essere ad esempio realizzati secondo gli insegnamenti dei brevetti italiani IT1324006 e IT1354085, a nome dello stesso Richiedente. Means 40 are also provided for dispensing the alimentary liquid L towards the tapping device S, which can be realized for example according to the teachings of the Italian patents IT1324006 and IT1354085, in the name of the same Applicant.
Essenzialmente, tali mezzi di erogazione 40 consentiranno l'ingresso del fluido di lavoro F, ad esempio anidride carbonica o aria compressa, nell'intercapedine 50 tra il contenitore esterno 20 e la sacca deformabile 30 e l'adduzione del liquido alimentare L dall'interno della sacca deformabile 30 verso l'esterno, ad esempio verso il dispositivo spillatore S. Essentially, these dispensing means 40 will allow the entry of the working fluid F, for example carbon dioxide or compressed air, into the interspace 50 between the external container 20 and the deformable bag 30 and the supply of the food liquid L from the inside. of the deformable bag 30 towards the outside, for example towards the tapping device S.
In modo in sé noto, il fluido di lavoro F comprime dall'esterno la sacca deformabile 30 per consentire la risalita del liquido lungo la cannula 45, la quale à ̈ in comunicazione fluidica con la linea L2 mediante la valvola 46. In a known way, the working fluid F compresses the deformable bag 30 from the outside to allow the liquid to rise along the cannula 45, which is in fluid communication with the line L2 by means of the valve 46.
Opportunamente, la sacca deformabile 30 potrà essere ad esempio realizzata secondo gli insegnamenti del documento GB2295373, a cui si rimanda per consultazione. Conveniently, the deformable bag 30 can be made, for example, according to the teachings of document GB2295373, to which reference is made for consultation.
Vantaggiosamente, come illustrato in FIG. 2, la sacca deformabile 30 potrà essere realizzata in un materiale multistrato che include almeno un primo strato 31 in materiale polimerico di grado alimentare, ad esempio polietilene (PE), almeno un secondo strato 32 in materiale polimerico, ad esempio nylon, ed almeno uno strato metallico 33, ad esempio alluminio. Advantageously, as illustrated in FIG. 2, the deformable bag 30 can be made of a multilayer material which includes at least a first layer 31 of food-grade polymeric material, for example polyethylene (PE), at least a second layer 32 of polymeric material, for example nylon, and at least one metal layer 33, for example aluminum.
In una forma di realizzazione particolarmente preferita ma non esclusiva, lo strato metallico 33 potrà essere interposto fra i primi due strati polimerici 31, 32 per impedire l'ingresso di inquinanti all'interno della sacca deformabile 30. In a particularly preferred but not exclusive embodiment, the metal layer 33 can be interposed between the first two polymeric layers 31, 32 to prevent the entry of pollutants into the deformable pocket 30.
Il materiale metallico, infatti, farà da barriera ad eventuali inquinanti, ad esempio residui di detersivi, oli o plastificanti, presenti nell'intercapedine 50 e/o veicolati dal fluido di lavoro F. In tal modo, si preserva l'integrità del liquido alimentare L. The metallic material, in fact, will act as a barrier to any pollutants, for example residues of detergents, oils or plasticizers, present in the interspace 50 and / or carried by the working fluid F. In this way, the integrity of the food liquid is preserved. L.
Il contenitore esterno 20 potrà essere realizzato in polietilene tereftalato (PET) riciclato, in modo da minimizzare l'impatto ambientale del fusto a perdere 1. In tal modo, infatti, sarà possibile recuperare pressoché integralmente il materiale dei fusti 1 gettati nei rifiuti. The external container 20 can be made of recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET), in order to minimize the environmental impact of the disposable drum 1. In this way, in fact, it will be possible to almost completely recover the material of the drums 1 thrown into the waste.
Preferibilmente, quindi, il polietilene tereftalato (PET) riciclato à ̈ realizzato a partire da materia prima che include, rispettivamente à ̈ costituita da, contenitori esterni di fusti a perdere 1 utilizzati e gettati nei rifiuti. Therefore, the recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is preferably made starting from raw material which includes, respectively, is constituted by external containers of disposable drums 1 used and thrown in the waste.
I fusti a perdere 1 recuperati, quindi, verranno triturati, macinati, fusi ed estrusi per ottenere granuli di polietilene tereftalato (PET) riciclato da fusti a perdere usati. The recovered 1-way drums will then be shredded, ground, melted and extruded to obtain recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET) granules from used disposable drums.
In modo in sé noto, poi, dal granulo si otterrà la preforma che, mediante stampaggio per soffiaggio (blow-molding), darà vita al nuovo contenitore esterno 20 per il nuovo fusto a perdere 1. Then, in a known way, the preform will be obtained from the granule which, by means of blow-molding, will give life to the new external container 20 for the new disposable drum 1.
Pur essendo riciclabile varie volte, à ̈ inevitabile che durante i vari cicli di riciclo il materiale perda in proprietà meccaniche. Queste ultime sono particolarmente importanti per il contenitore esterno 20 di un fusto a perdere 1, poiché esso à ̈ la struttura portante del fusto 1 stesso. Although it can be recycled several times, it is inevitable that during the various recycling cycles the material loses its mechanical properties. The latter are particularly important for the external container 20 of a disposable drum 1, since it is the supporting structure of the drum 1 itself.
I fusti 1, inoltre, all'atto del trasporto e/o dello stoccaggio vengono impilati uno sull'altro, così che gli ultimi della pila debbano sopportare un carico elevato. Furthermore, the drums 1 are stacked one on top of the other during transport and / or storage, so that the last ones in the pile have to bear a high load.
Al fine di migliorare le proprietà meccaniche del materiale, quindi, lo stesso viene caricato con appositi fillers, solitamente vetro o fibre di carbonio. In order to improve the mechanical properties of the material, therefore, it is loaded with special fillers, usually glass or carbon fibers.
Il riciclo del polietilene tereftalato (PET) caricato vetro o fibra di carbonio à ̈ però più difficile di quello del materiale non caricato, poiché necessita di una fase di separazione della carica dal materiale base. The recycling of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) filled with glass or carbon fiber is however more difficult than that of the unfilled material, as it requires a phase of separation of the filler from the base material.
L'impatto ambientale del fusto a perdere 1 avente un contenitore esterno in polietilene tereftalato caricato vetro o fibra di carbonio, quindi, Ã ̈ relativamente elevato. The environmental impact of the disposable drum 1 having an external container in polyethylene terephthalate with glass or carbon fiber, therefore, is relatively high.
Allo scopo, vantaggiosamente, il polietilene tereftalato riciclato del contenitore esterno 20 del fusto a perdere 1 secondo l'invenzione potrà includere almeno un filler di origine vegetale. For this purpose, advantageously, the recycled polyethylene terephthalate of the external container 20 of the disposable drum 1 according to the invention may include at least one filler of vegetable origin.
Opportunamente, quest'ultimo potrà essere una farina e/o un granulo e/o una fibra scelto nel gruppo costituito da: nocciola, cocco, mandorla, nocciolina, legno, sughero, riso, amido di mais, agave, ananas, bambù, banana, canapa, canapa indiana, cocco, cotone, erba indiana, ginestra, iuta, lino o una miscela di due o più di questi. Conveniently, the latter may be a flour and / or a granule and / or a fiber chosen from the group consisting of: hazelnut, coconut, almond, peanut, wood, cork, rice, corn starch, agave, pineapple, bamboo, banana , hemp, Indian hemp, coconut, cotton, Indian grass, broom, jute, flax or a blend of two or more of these.
In tal modo, l'impatto ambientale del fusto a perdere 1 sarà minimizzato, poiché il materiale della carica à ̈ un materiale di origine vegetale. In this way, the environmental impact of the disposable keg 1 will be minimized, since the filler material is a material of plant origin.
Nel presente documento, con il termine "filler di origine vegetale" e suoi derivati si intende un materiale granulare, farinoso e/o fibroso, sostanzialmente inerte dal punto di vista chimico, derivante o avente origine da una pianta vegetale. In this document, the term "filler of vegetable origin" and its derivatives means a granular, floury and / or fibrous material, substantially inert from a chemical point of view, deriving from or having origin from a vegetable plant.
Per sua natura, il filler di origine vegetale include una quantità di acqua relativamente elevata nella sua struttura. Nell'utilizzo di tali fillers, quindi, occorre tenere conto di tale fattore. By its nature, the plant-based filler includes a relatively high amount of water in its structure. Therefore, when using these fillers, this factor must be taken into account.
Come mostrato più avanti, il Richiedente ha sperimentalmente verificato che le proprietà meccaniche del polietilene tereftalato riciclato sono massimizzate quando il filler vegetale à ̈ presente nel polietilene tereftalato riciclato in una quantità massima di 20 phr per 100 phr di polietilene tereftalato riciclato. As shown below, the Applicant has experimentally verified that the mechanical properties of the recycled polyethylene terephthalate are maximized when the vegetable filler is present in the recycled polyethylene terephthalate in a maximum quantity of 20 phr per 100 phr of recycled polyethylene terephthalate.
Le proprietà meccaniche migliori, inoltre, si avranno quando il filler vegetale à ̈ presente nel polietilene tereftalato riciclato in una quantità compresa fra 1 phr e 15 phr per 100 phr di polietilene tereftalato riciclato, e preferibilmente compresa fra 5 phr e 10 phr per 100 phr di polietilene tereftalato riciclato. Furthermore, the best mechanical properties will be obtained when the vegetable filler is present in the recycled polyethylene terephthalate in a quantity between 1 phr and 15 phr per 100 phr of recycled polyethylene terephthalate, and preferably between 5 phr and 10 phr per 100 phr of recycled polyethylene terephthalate.
Al fine di ridurre ulteriormente l'impatto ambientale del fusto a perdere 1, il filler vegetale potrà comprendere, rispettivamente potrà essere costituito da, scarti vegetali. In order to further reduce the environmental impact of the disposable stem 1, the vegetable filler may include, respectively, may consist of vegetable waste.
Preferibilmente, tali scarti vegetali sono scelti nel gruppo costituito da: gusci di noce, gusci di noce di cocco, gusci di mandorla, gusci di nocciole, scarti di legno, noccioli di ciliegia, vinacce, pula di riso, o una miscela di due o più di questi. Preferably, such vegetable waste is selected from the group consisting of: walnut shells, coconut shells, almond shells, hazelnut shells, wood waste, cherry stones, pomace, rice husk, or a mixture of two or more of these.
Ciò consente, oltre a minimizzare l'impatto ambientale del fusto 1, di valorizzare anche lo scarto vegetale. This allows, in addition to minimizing the environmental impact of the stem 1, to enhance the plant waste as well.
Nel presente documento, con la dizione "scarti vegetali" e suoi derivati si intendono materiali vegetali, ovvero materiali derivanti da o avente origine da una pianta vegetale, che per loro natura sono generalmente suscettibili di essere gettati via come rifiuti. In this document, the term "vegetable waste" and its derivatives means vegetable materials, or materials deriving from or originating from a vegetable plant, which by their nature are generally liable to be thrown away as waste.
L'invenzione sarà meglio spiegata mediante i seguenti esempi, che sono forniti a scopo illustrativo e non limitativo della stessa. The invention will be better explained by the following examples, which are provided for illustrative and not limitative purposes thereof.
