- the bottles to be filled are along a straight conveyor track defined by a guide 8 of the machine frame 1 through the machine from a loading station 9 to a discharge station 10 transported, the bottles 11 in rows transverse to the transport direction 6 grouped and spaced regardless of their diameter and centered, with the help of self-aligning gripper parts 12, 13 the bottle holder 7.
- the loading station 9 is a schematically indicated in the transport direction 6 Subordinate turning device 14 (Fig. 2), in which the upward Bottle opening fed to the loading station 9 and in this position bottles 11 taken over from the bottle holders 7 crosswise in rows a vertical position with the bottle opening pointing downwards by swiveling an entire bottle carrier 5 compared to the conveyor chains supporting these 3,4.
- the transverse rows of bottles now pass initially when conveying at intervals a spray device 15 for the simultaneous introduction of detergent in an upward beam direction into the interior of the Bottles 11 of a transverse row.
- a spray device 15 for the simultaneous introduction of detergent in an upward beam direction into the interior of the Bottles 11 of a transverse row.
- the bottles 11 become inside rinsed out and of any particles contained in them, such as dust particles or the like, cleaned.
- Sterile water is preferably used as the cleaning agent
- the cleaned bottles 11 pass through a first drying device 16, by means of all of the bottles 11 in the drying station located transverse row at the same time left inside the bottles 11 Cleaning agent residues are expelled.
- a drying agent preferably a heated sterile compressed air is used, which is inside the bottle is blown in and under pressure of about 2 to 4 bar, preferably 3 bar, is and a temperature in the range of about 40 ° to 90 ° C, preferably about 60 ° C.
- the compressed air temperature is higher than the load limit temperature for the material of the bottles 11 leads to this not to a thermal impairment of the bottles 11, because of the brevity the pressurized air, the walls of the bottles 11 no temperatures assume that exceed the load limit.
- the bottles 11 are in one non-sterile input and washing area 17a (Fig. 3).
- a spray device 18 forming a sterilization station row of bottles leaving the drying station through an inlet opening 19 into a closed interior 20 of a housing 21 where there is a sterile atmosphere.
- This is made up of sterile air, which is blown under pressure into the interior 20, the entire room occupies and out of the inlet opening 19 and an outlet opening 22nd flows outwards to prevent the entry of air contaminated with germs prevent.
- the sterile air is supplied by a sterile air source 23, to which also the tunnel-like housing 21 defining a sterile area 17b is connected is. However, the latter can also be obtained from an independent sterile air source 25 are supplied with sterile air.
- the interior of the bottles 11 of a row of bottles is simultaneously acted upon by the spray device 18 with a sterilizing agent which is introduced into the inside of the bottle with the jet direction pointing upwards.
- Hydrogen peroxide H 2 O 2
- the sterilizing agent can correspond to the cleaning agent in terms of pressure and temperature.
- the bottles 11 After sterilization, the bottles 11 reach a second one Drying station 24, similar to that in the first drying station 16 with the help of tempered sterile air residues of sterilant from inside the Bottles 11 are expelled.
- the pressure can be between 2 and 4 bar, preferably about 3 bar, and the temperature of the compressed air for the second drying device 24 is between 40 and 90 ° C, preferably about 60 ° C.
- the bottles 11 arrive in a wetting station 26, which, however, is only required or can be operated if a filling material containing CO 2 or N 2 is to be filled into the bottles 11 .
- a wetting station formed by the wetting device 26 all the interiors of the bottles 11 of a transverse row are simultaneously wetted with sterile water, the device being designed similarly to the devices 15 and 18 as a spraying device which enters the sterile water into the interior of the bottle with an upward jet direction from below.
- the bottles 11 reach a second one from the wetting device 26 Turning device 27 in which they are turned again and then with Bottle opening directed above at least approximately vertically aligned are. In this position, the bottles with the liquid contents are preferred Soft drinks, filled, in rows at the same time using a filling device 28
- a closure part (not shown) is supplied.
- the closure part can be, for example Screw cap, as they are for screw caps of the most varied Species is used. It can form a temporary seal, and in a subsequent second closing device 30 can be screwed on the cap of the final closure are formed. Put on and final However, closing can also take place in the first closing device take place, in which case the second closing device 30 is omitted can.
- the bottles 11 leave the Interior 20 of the housing 21 forming the sterile area 17b through the Discharge opening 22. At this point the aseptic filling is complete and contamination of the contents with germs is excluded. Because even after leaving the sterile area 17 b are the bottles 11 until they reach the discharge station 10 in a clean area 17 c, before they are then possibly further via the discharge station 10 Processing stations such as labeling or printing stations, one Packing station etc. are fed.
- the Cleaning device 15 and the wetting device 26 preferably from the same source 31 with sterile water formed by sterile condensate can, acted upon, the cleaning agent running off from a bottom part 33 collected and transferred from this to a collector 34 or process becomes.
- the sterile water source 31 can also spray heads 35, 36 of the sterile area 17b of the machine with sterile water when performing CIP cleaning processes supply. They serve during ongoing production Spray heads 35, however, for blowing sterile air into the interior 20 of the Housing 21 to form and maintain the sterile positive pressure atmosphere receive.
- the spray heads 36 are connected to the sterile air source 23 connectable.
- the filling material is fed from a storage container 37, which is also the CIP cleaning can be subjected, as indicated by the Spray head 36 is symbolized.
- the supply of the spray device 18 for the introduction of sterilizing agent takes place from a sterilizing agent source 38, one of which is also Inlet line 39 can be fed in the area of a heat exchanger 40 for heating the sterile air supplied by the source 23 into the Sterile air line empties and enables the sterile air to be sterilized to move. If during a production process or during a CIP cleaning process, the sterile air introduced into the interior 20 with sterilizing agent, a deduction can be made with the sterilizing agent Enriched sterile air can be made via blowers 40, 41 to which a catalyst 42 is connected upstream for separation purposes.
- Sterile water is discharged via a drain line 43, a collector 44 or drain fed according to the collector 34.
- sterile water can also can be removed and fed in the circuit from the interior 20, such as that Circulation line 45 (Fig. 4) reveals.
- the caps either be sterilized as a whole before entering clean area 17c (in which case the closing devices 29 and also 30 in the sterile area 17b could find an arrangement), or they will only be finished in the bottle Sterilized area before placing it, for example by spraying with hot steam, a sterilizing aerosol or the like with the help of a at 46 indicated spray nozzle.
- the second closing device 30 can a suction device 47 may be arranged downstream, which is used on the outside on Vacuum off the closure and any residues of sterilant adhering to the bottle neck, if, for example, with sterile air enriched with sterilizing agents is also used in the clean area 17c.

- Control switch 63 actuated, which causes a fault message when not actuated. This control ensures that each bottle is treated equally becomes.
- the sterilizing agent can be in the spray device 18 with the aid of a spray nozzle are sprayed, as indicated in Fig. 2 and 4. Instead however, there is also the option of using a bottle Wetting mist from sterilizing agent, preferably hydrogen peroxide is used as a sterilizing agent.
- the sterilization effect is here particularly cheap and is based on the fact that the sterilizing agent mist in fine Distribution applied to the entire inner surface of the bottles can be.
- a sterilizing agent mist becomes one Ultrasonic generator 62 generated and in a guided in a line 63, from the sterile air source 23 supplied sterile air flow, which in Working cycle of the spray device 18 is generated and the sterilizing agent mist conveyed into the interior of the bottles 11 in the spray device 18.
- the introduction of the sterilizing agent mist into the interior of the bottles 11 takes place with the help of an injector 64, which is not illustrated by means of an Lift drive, for example a pressure cylinder, in the direction of Arrows 65 vertically from a lower starting position below the trajectory of the bottles 11 into the upper operating position illustrated in FIG. 7 is movable, in which its injection nozzles 66 into the interior of each bottle 11 of a row of bottles in the sterilization position.
- the injection nozzles 66 are each an electrically insulated supported electrode 67 assigned, which is preferably coaxial through the nozzle tube of the injection nozzles 66 extends and protrudes a bit over this.
- Each electrode 67 acts with one of the outside of the bottles 11 in the sterilization position associated counter electrode 68 together to build up an electric field, that between the injection nozzle 66 and the wall of the bottles 11 is effective and causes those electrically charged by the electrode 67 Mist droplets of the sterilizing agent along the field lines Inner wall of the bottles are guided and placed there. For generation of this electric field are electrode 67 and counter electrode 68 to one DC voltage source 69 connected.
- the counter electrode is preferred as in the example illustrated in FIG. 7 designed as a cylinder body, each of a bottle 11 on the outer circumference and surrounds on the ground.
- the counter electrodes are not shown by means of a Drive, for example by means of a pressure medium cylinder, from it shown lowered operating position vertically upwards in a starting position movable in which it is outside the trajectory of the Bottles are located and a retraction of the transverse row to be sterilized enable bottles 11 into the sterilization operating position.
- the counter electrodes 68 simultaneously become vertical lowered into the operating position shown and the injector 64 from its lower starting position into the operating position also shown raised, after which the electric field by connecting the two Electrodes built with the DC voltage source 69 and in synchronism with the Working cycle of the system is a sterile air flow in the to the sterile air source 23 connected line 63 is generated, which in the sterilant fog transported the inside of the bottle.
- the ultrasound generator 62 generating the sterilizing agent mist can be connected to the sterilizing agent source 38 via a ring line 70, can, however, also with a separate sterilization source, not shown are connected on the supply and return sides.
