Definitions

  • the invention relates to DE-PS 19 07 416, in which a method and a device for cleaning the inside of beer kegs, namely the so-called KEG kegs, is described.
  • the washing process takes place from below via the riser pipe, ie. H. the cleaning liquid exits under pressure through the supply line above the riser pipe and runs gently down the sides of the barrel inner wall after it has been redirected beforehand by the bottom shape of the barrel, the so-called cup, which is designed in terms of flow technology.
  • the cleaning liquid falling off on the barrel wall then exits the barrel interior through the pressurized gas paths and reaches the discharge line.
  • the amount of cleaning liquid is reduced towards the end of the liquid treatment and the outer pipe surface and the fitting housing projecting into the drum are flooded with a liquid flow.
  • a method and a device are also placed under protection in which an improved cleaning of the riser pipe and barrel fitting housing is sought.
  • the cleaning liquid is used in an additional operation, which is based on conventional interior cleaning process then, alternately diverted during the cleaning process, such that the liquid on the one hand flows through the riser pipe and on the other hand through the compressed gas valve. After the liquid has escaped from the fitting's compressed gas opening, it inevitably continues to run on the riser pipe, which is intended to flush the outside.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a method and a device for cleaning the inside of barrels or the like., In particular of beer barrels of the type mentioned, which enable reliable cleaning of the barrel in a simple manner and in the shortest possible time.
  • the method according to the invention provides that a cleaning liquid is introduced into the barrel and is caused to rise in motion by blowing in a gaseous or vaporous medium from below, the barrel being vented to maintain a pressure difference when the gaseous or vaporous medium is blown in . It has proven to be particularly advantageous if the Internal cleaning is carried out in such a way that the liquid level in the barrel is gradually increased from bottom to top and the medium is blown in between these stages.
  • a further process step is characterized in that in the case of a barrel with a barrel fitting remaining in the barrel bottom with the connecting piece pointing downward, the cleaning liquid is fed in via the riser pipe and in that the gaseous or vaporous medium is blown in via the compressed gas valve and the feed line for the cleaning liquid as a return air line serves. Furthermore, a liquid can also be used instead of the gaseous or vaporous medium.
  • the device for carrying out the method is based on a cleaning head for connection to the drum fitting with through-openings which are connected to liquid and compressed gas supply lines or discharge lines, and is characterized by check valves in the supply lines or discharge lines which are connected via a program circuit can be controlled alternately in such a way that the barrel is filled step by step from bottom to top and the gaseous or vaporous medium is blown in between these filling stages, and by means of a return air line branching off from the supply line for the liquid between the cleaning head and the shut-off valve with a while blowing in of the gaseous or vaporous medium opening further check valve.
  • a last feature of the invention is characterized by a valve arranged in the feed line and releasing and blocking the compressed gas supply at short intervals.
  • a KEG barrel 1 with a barrel fitting 2 screwed into the barrel bottom is in a position coupled to a cleaning head 3 for its internal cleaning with the head pointing downward.
  • the barrel fitting 2 is essentially formed from the fitting housing or cage and from a riser pipe which can be moved in the axial direction and protrudes into the barrel and is designed as an automatically closing valve with through-openings for the cleaning liquid and for the compressed gas. With these openings are at the on couple and actuate the barrel fitting through openings of the cleaning head in a conductive connection and these in turn are connected to a feed line 4 for the cleaning liquid and to a feed line 5 for the compressed gas.
  • the cleaning process begins with the entry of cleaning liquid into the barrel via the riser pipe, conveyed from the tank 7 via the pump 8. After reaching a first liquid level shown in FIG. 1, the pump switches off and a shut-off valve 10 closes the feed line 4. The interior of the riser pipe is cleaned at the same time as it is filled.
  • Air is blown into the cleaning liquid in the barrel from below by a compressed air source 9 via the feed line 5 and the passage opening for the gas, causing it to start moving and the cleaning process begins.
  • the blowing process is ended after a preset period of time by switching off the compressed air source and by blocking the feed line 5 via a shut-off valve 11.
  • the return air can escape into the tank 7 via the riser pipe and the feed line 4 and via a return air line 12 branching off between the cleaning head 3 and valve 10 with a shut-off valve 13 .
  • An increase in the cleaning effect can also be achieved by intermittent blowing in conjunction with increased pressure of the air into the liquid, which can be carried out, for example, by appropriate activation of the check valve 11.
  • pressurized gas instead of the pressurized gas, other pressurized fluid can of course also be used, such as a vaporous medium or a liquid, without leaving the field of the invention.
  • the cleaning liquid is forced out of the barrel into line 14 and into tank 7 by redirecting the compressed air via line 16 with shut-off valve 17 and via the riser pipe through the pressure gas valve.
