B. in the form of conveyor belts for transporting the hollow glass containers from one of the units to the subsequent one and are coupled to one another in these.
  • Filling stations of this type are known and have also proven themselves in practice. Since when filling the hollow glass containers by dripping fillers or by spilling the filling material on the conveyor belt, often filling material is deposited on their mouthpieces and these are therefore not clean, only aggregates can be used with these filling stations to close the hollow glass containers by means of which the closures are placed under Pressure, without prior cleaning of the mouthpieces, is applied to the mouthpieces, thereby filling the contents to push out of the contact area of the closure. However, these locking devices are very complex and therefore expensive to purchase and maintain. Furthermore, hollow glass containers in reusable systems, Sdie z. B.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a filling station of the aforementioned type, by means of which it is not only possible to close filled hollow glass containers in an economical manner, but can also be inexpensively refilled and closed using the returning hollow glass containers without additional manual work to clean the mouthpieces must be carried out.
  • this is achieved in that a device for cleaning the mouthpieces of the filled hollow glass container is inserted between the filling device and the unit for closing the hollow glass container.
  • the device for cleaning the mouthpieces of the hollow glass containers is expediently designed as a steam jet cleaning unit, by means of which the mouthpieces of the hollow glass containers can preferably be loaded with saturated water vapor and which can be integrated directly into the transport means of the filling station.
  • the steam jet cleaning unit can be formed in a simple manner by one or more transport means carrying the filled hollow glass containers on one or both sides at the level of the nozzles arranged by means of which the mouthpieces of the hollow glass containers can be illuminated.
  • a pressure-reducing valve can be used in the steam supply line of the nozzles on each side, by means of which the range of the jets emitted by the nozzles must be adjusted individually.
  • the steam jet cleaning unit is expediently to be integrated into the means of transport assigned to the unit for closing the hollow glass container and to be surrounded on all sides by a housing which has one or more water drainage channels.
  • the hollow glass containers or the like can be arranged in the area of the steam jet cleaning unit by means of conveyor belts or the like arranged on one or both sides next to the transport means. are additionally driven to rotate about their longitudinal axis.
  • the closure device of the filling station can be designed as an ignition sealer or as a flanging machine according to a further development are trained, by means of which the closures can be applied to hollow glass containers in an economical manner at high working speed.
  • a unit which is preferably designed as an induction sealer for closing the hollow glass container and to arrange at least one of the last nozzles on one side in such a way that the steam jet ejected by it reaches the mouth of the hollow glass container.
  • a mechanical mouthpiece cleaning device between the depalletizer and the washing unit which is arranged as one or more adjustable and rotating drivable brushes equipped brush cleaning unit can be formed.
  • a filling station according to the invention is formed by connecting the closure device with a specially designed unit for cleaning the mouthpieces of the filled hollow glass containers and / or by connecting a mechanical mouthpiece cleaning device to the depalletizer, it is possible to use the closure device as an induction sealer or training as a flanging machine, returning hollow glass containers can also be designed again in the proposed Filling station to be filled.
  • the intended cleaning by means of steam jets ensures that, on the one hand, the mouthpieces are free of filling residues before they are closed and are therefore not to be feared, even if the sealing foils are inductively sealed that leaks occur, and on the other hand, film and lacquer residues sticking to the mouthpieces of hollow glass containers be removed safely and without the filling material being adversely affected thereby.
  • the filling station can therefore be equipped with closure devices which have high sealing speeds, and this can also advantageously be used economically in a reusable system.
  • the device also enables a visual inspection of the sealed film closures.
  • Appropriate alignment of a nozzle means that water vapor can be introduced into the unfilled part of the hollow glass container, by means of which a slight negative pressure is generated after cooling. And due to this negative pressure, which of course only builds up with a tight closure, the closure film is arched inwards, so that the tightness of a closure can be checked easily and easily by a visual inspection.
  • the filling station shown in Figures 1 and 2 and designated 1 and 1 'each consists of a depalletizer 2, a washing unit 3, a filling device 4, an aggregate 5 for closing the hollow glass container and a labeling device 6 and a palletizer 7, which are arranged one behind the other in series and by means of one or more means of transport 8, e.g. B. in the form of conveyor belts, for transporting the hollow glass container from one of the units to the subsequent one and are coupled to one another in these.
  • transport 8 e.g. B. in the form of conveyor belts
  • the unit 5 for closing the filled hollow glass containers can be designed as an induction sealer or as a flanging machine, this is preceded by a device 11 for cleaning the mouthpieces of the filled hollow glass containers.
  • the cleaning device 11 can be designed as a steam jet cleaning unit which is integrated directly into the transport means 8. In this way, it is possible to reliably clean the mouthpieces of the hollow glass containers from residues, so that a durable and tight seal is ensured even when closed by an induction seal.
  • the depalletizer 2 is followed by a mechanical cleaning device 12 according to FIG. 2, which can be designed as a brush cleaning unit. Film and paint residues are reliably brushed off from the mouthpieces of the hollow glass container in this way, so that the filling station 1 'can also be used economically in reusable systems.
  • the device 101 shown in Figure 3 corresponds to the device designated in Figures 1 and 2 with 11 and is integrated in the transport system of the filling station 1 or 1 'to the mouthpieces 105 filled hollow glass container 104, 104', on which by dripping filler to be able to deposit residues by foaming or spilling over, to be able to clean.
  • the device 101 is in this case arranged on a frame which carries a transport means 103 in the form of a conveyor belt for transporting the hollow glass containers 104, 104 ' and consists of a steam jet cleaning unit 111, which has a number of nozzles 112, 112 '... and 113, 113; ... arranged laterally next to the transport means 103.
  • a main line 114 in which a shut-off valve 117 is inserted, and supply lines 115 and 116, the nozzles 112, 112 '... and 113, 113' ... are fed saturated steam at a temperature of approx. 120 ° C, the the hollow glass container 104 is blasted onto the mouthpieces 105.
  • the nozzles 112, 112 '. . . and 113, 113 '... are pivotable both vertically and perpendicular to the hollow glass containers 104, 104' and in the direction of their conveyance, so that the device 101 can be converted in a short time and thus adapted to the size of the items to be cleaned Hollow glass container 104 or 104 'is to be made.
  • the expediently designed as flat jet nozzles 112, 112 '... are arranged offset with respect to the nozzles 113, 113' ... of the opposite row, as can be seen in FIG affect. Due to pressure reducing valves 118 and 119 installed in the supply lines 116 and 117, it is also possible that the water vapor supplied to the nozzles 112, 112 ′ ... has a different pressure level than the water vapor flowing into the nozzles 113, 113 ′ ... so that even with directly opposite nozzles 112, 112 '..., 113, 113' ... whose jet areas are adjustable and adaptable to each other.
  • the steam jet cleaning unit 111 is almost completely surrounded by a housing 121 supported on a holder 124, in the end walls of which for carrying the means of transport 103 and for introducing the housing cleaning hollow glass container 104, 104 'cutouts 122 are incorporated.
  • the housing 121 is equipped with water drainage channels 123 for collecting condensed water.
  • a steam jet 120 can be directed onto the mouth 106 of the hollow glass container 104, so that water vapor reaches the unfilled part of the hollow glass container 104. Is immediately afterwards, ie as long as there is still water vapor in the area of the mouth 106, the hollow glass container 104 by a z. B. sealed by induction foil 107, so if the closure is tight, a slight negative pressure is formed in the hollow glass container 104, through which the foil 107, as shown in FIG. 5, is drawn inwards.
