Abstract

The invention relates to a method for stabilizing the pressure of PET beverage bottles filled with still beverages. According to the inventive method, the pressure required to stabilize the shape of the sealed PET beverage bottle is generated by evaporating nitrogen. The invention provides an economical, trouble-free and maintenance-free method in that gaseous nitrogen is introduced into the PET beverage bottle filled with the still beverage via a sparging device arranged in a filling line of the bottling installation, and the pressure required for stabilizing the shape of the PET beverage bottle is generated by the nitrogen subsequently escaping from the still beverage into the sealed PET beverage bottle.

Verfahren zum Druckstabilisieren von mit stillen Getränken gefülltenProcess for the pressure stabilization of filled with still drinks
PET-GetränkeflaschenPET beverage bottles
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Druckstabilisieren von mit stillen Getränken gefüllten PET-Getränkeflaschen nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a method for stabilizing the pressure of PET beverage bottles filled with still beverages according to the preamble of claim 1.
In der Lebensmitteltechnik werden zum Druckstabilisieren von mit stillen Getränken gefüllten PET-Getränkeflaschen CRYOGEN R -Injektoren der Fa. Messer Griesheim GmbH eingesetzt, mit deren Hilfe ein kleiner Tropfen Stickstoff-flüssig kurz vor dem Verschließen der PET-Getränkeflasche in die bereits mit dem stillen Getränk gefüllte PET-Getränkeflasche eingebracht wird. Durch Verdampfung des Stickstoff-Tropfens wird in der verschlossenen PET-Getränkeflasche der zu deren Formstabilisierung notwendige Druck aufgebaut. Die bei diesem bekannten Verfahren zum Druckstabilisieren eingesetzten CRYOGEN R- Injektoren sind jedoch teuer in der Anschaffung, kompliziert im Aufbau und dadurch störanfällig im Betrieb.In food technology, CRYOGEN R injectors from Messer Griesheim GmbH are used to stabilize the pressure of PET beverage bottles filled with still beverages, with the help of which a small drop of nitrogen liquid shortly before the PET beverage bottle is sealed into the one already containing the still beverage filled PET beverage bottle is introduced. By evaporation of the nitrogen drop, the pressure required to stabilize its shape is built up in the sealed PET beverage bottle. However, the CRYOGEN R injectors used in this known method for pressure stabilization are expensive to purchase, complicated to set up and therefore prone to failure in operation.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein kostengünstiges und störungsfreies Verfahren zum Druckstabilisieren von mit stillen Getränken gefüllten PET-Getränkeflaschen zur Verfügung zu stellen.The object of the invention is to provide an inexpensive and trouble-free method for stabilizing the pressure of PET beverage bottles filled with still beverages.
Erfindungsgemäß wird die Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, daß Stickstoff-gasförmig durch ein in einer BefülUeitung der Abfüllanlage angeordnetes Begasungsgerät (Sparging) in die mit dem stillen Getränk gefüllte PET-Getränkeflasche eingebracht und durch den anschließend aus dem stillen Getränk in die verschlossene PET- Getränkeflasche entweichenden Stickstoff der zur Formstabilisierung der PET- Getränkeflasche notwendige Druck erzeugt wird. Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren zum Druckstabilisieren von mit stillen Getränken gefüllten PET-Getränkeflaschen ist insbesondere durch niedrige Hardware-Kosten gekennzeichnet, ist zudem störungsfrei in der Anwendung und erübrigt zusätzlichen Serviceaufwand. According to the invention, the object is achieved by introducing nitrogen gaseous gas into the PET beverage bottle filled with the still beverage through a gassing device (sparging) arranged in a filling of the filling system and through the nitrogen subsequently escaping from the still beverage into the closed PET beverage bottle the pressure required to stabilize the shape of the PET beverage bottle is generated. The method according to the invention for stabilizing the pressure of PET beverage bottles filled with still beverages is characterized in particular by low hardware costs, is also trouble-free in use and eliminates the need for additional service.
