Definitions
- the present invention relates to improvements in machines for the preparation and filling of drums for fluid products and in particular for the metallic drums of known type termed "keg" with fittings usable for packaging, preservation, transportation and mixing of liquid foodstuffs such as drinks, beer and the like.
- Said improvements consist of a washing head with delivery and drain heads with controlled automatic opening and closing, a station for rotation of the drums and a filling head with delivery and drain ducts with controlled automatic opening and closing with recovery of residual liquids.
- Present drum filling machines consist essentially of pluralities of sequential work stations on which the arriving drums are subjected to operational steps of prewashing, washing, draining, drying and filling.
- the object of the present invention is to eliminate the above drawbacks.
- the invention as characterized in the claims, solves the problem by improvements in machines for the preparation and filling of drums for fluid products by means of which there are obtained the following results.
- the prewashing and washing phases are performed using washing heads comprising the delivery and drain ducts with automatic opening and closing with axial distributor.
- the prewashing and washing are performed with jets of water, steam, soda or other, from below upward, through the central duct with a check valve, with radial spraying and peripheral drain conveyed and drained through the peripheral slits of the central filler of the drums.
- Equalization of the internal washing of the drums along all the walls is obtained by means of an optional rotation station in which the drums are rotated in such a manner that the washing contents can uniformly lick all the internal surfaces.
- the drums are filled using filling heads comprising ducts for delivery and scavenging of internal gases with automatic opening and closing with axial distributor and recovery of residual liquids.
- the figures illustrate examples of embodiment of improvements in machines for the preparation and filling of drums for fluid products.
- heads (1) essentially made up of a central body (2) having an upper chamber (3) and a lower chamber (4) which are mutually coaxial and at the centre of which there is an axial distributor (5) free to travel and in which there is a central duct (6) having radial ports (7).
- the radial ports (7) are positioned in alignment with said lower chamber (4) which, in turn, has a radial port (8) connected to at least one solenoid valve (9).
- the upper chamber (3) has a radial port (10) connected to at least one solenoid valve (11).
- the axial distributor (5) comprises, in its lower part, a double acting piston (12) preferably but not in a limiting manner of the compressed air type.
- the rod (13) of the piston (12) extends on the side opposite to the distributor and ends with a shoe (14) which aligns with a sensor (15) such as for example a photoelectric cell.
- each drum (16) to be subjected to prewashing and washing is positioned overturned at a head (1) with the central filler (17) aligned with the axial distributor (5) which comprises at its upper end a pusher (18) with a central passage hole (19) and radial shaped grooves (20).
- the passage hole (19) communicates with the central duct (6) of the axial distributor (5) while the shaped grooves (20) communicate with the upper chamber (3).
- the drum (16) positioned in alignment with the head (1) rests on the gasket (21) of said head and is pressed there by an upper pressing cylinder (not shown).
- the lower solenoid valve (9) opens and begins deliver, e.g. of hot prewashing water which, through the chamber (4), the duct (6), the hole (19) and the duct (25), is fed into the drum with force against the upward turned bottom and a subsequent fall downward until it is emptied through the radial ports (26) of the annular passage (24) of the filler (17) and the upper chamber (3).
- the drain solenoid valve (11) can be opened directly for direct scavenging of the liquid products, or can be opened with delay to allow more or less forced filling of the drums (16).
- valves (9'), (11') for inlet and drain of the different products.
- Closing of the ports of the filler (17) at the end of the above operations is obtained by withdrawing the distributor (5) by input of air into the upper chamber of the piston (12). Input of control air is made through the ducts (59) and (51).
- the latter are preferably subjected to rotation.
- the drums (16) are translated into a sequential station in which they are gripped by at least two opposing jaws (28) constrained to shafts (29) supported by bearings (30).
- the bearings (30) are comprised in slide supports (31) sliding in fixed guides (32).
- Pistons (33) paired with lever systems (34) control closing and/or opening of the jaws (28).
- drums are translated to the following operative station, in which there is another head (1), or a similar one, through which is performed scavenging of said products under steam pressure, CO2 or other, drying in CO2 and so on.
- the drums are positioned in stations comprising loading heads (36) essentially made up of a central body (37) equipped with a lower chamber (38) with radial port (39) connected to at least one solenoid valve (40) and an upper chamber (41) in which slides a double acting piston (42), preferably but not in a limited manner of the compressed air type, with air inlet ducts (43) and 44).
- loading heads essentially made up of a central body (37) equipped with a lower chamber (38) with radial port (39) connected to at least one solenoid valve (40) and an upper chamber (41) in which slides a double acting piston (42), preferably but not in a limited manner of the compressed air type, with air inlet ducts (43) and 44).
- the chamber (41) is connected by means of a port (45) to a feed pipe (46).
- a port (45) to a feed pipe (46).
- an axial distributor (5) free to slide and essentially identical to the one (5) in the washing head (1) and already described.
- Each drum (16) to be filled is positioned overturned at a loading head (36) with the central filler (17) aligned with the axial distributor (5) and resting on the gasket (21).
- the presence of the drum (16) signals automatic consent for lifting of the axial distributor (5) by sending air into the lower chamber of the piston (12).
- the pusher (18) causes opening of the ball valve (22) and opening of the passage seat (24).
- the lower chamber (38) is connected to the duct (25) of the drum (16) through the central duct (6) of the distributor (5) and the passage hole (19) of the pusher (18) while the upper chamber (41) is connected to the annular passage (24) of the filler (17) through the shaped grooves (20).
- the sliding piston (42) is held downward with air fed into its upper chamber.
- Said positioning allows connection of the upper chamber (41) with the port (45) of the feed pipe (46).
