Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device in the preamble of claim 1 Art.
  • a device is from GB 1 395 607 A. known.
  • Beverage containers such as cans or bottles, are usually made in a container filling machine filled and then transported to a capping machine, to be locked there. In this transport they are filled but not yet closed. On all transport routes on which filled, however, unlocked beverage containers are transported, that results Problem of air entering the headspace of the container above the Liquid level. If the container is then closed, so will trapped air. The one in the trapped air however, oxygen contained is harmful to most beverages. It will therefore always aiming for low air values in the closed container.
  • the foam fills the headspace of the container so that no air can enter it can and air that has already penetrated is displaced again. Thereby the above air problem can be solved effectively.
  • the devices for generating the frothing pulse are conventional designed adjustable, so that for example by different length or Strength of the spray jet of the frothing pulse can be changed.
  • the devices for generating the frothing pulse are conventional designed adjustable, so that for example by different length or Strength of the spray jet of the frothing pulse can be changed.
  • the container In order to can be achieved with a typical container and with a typical runtime until the headspace formed above the liquid level is closed the container is filled with foam, but the foam does not overflow.
  • the foaming is extremely disadvantageous. It leads to the mostly sticky Liquids such as Beer, for gluing the container, so that subsequent cleaning required are. For bottles with a screw cap there is a Glue the closure so that it is difficult to open it.
  • the object of the present invention is a generic Develop the frothing device in such a way that with complete foam filling of the head space above the liquid level in each container is effectively avoided.
  • the transport device adjacent to the mouth edge of the container standing there, e.g. a bottle, a suction device.
  • the foam that exceeds the edge of the container is immediately removed with this aspirated.
  • the frothing pulse can be chosen freely so that it is in every container a safe foaming under all operating conditions generated to the edge.
  • the suction device can be equipped with a simple suction nozzle.
  • the features of claim 3 are provided.
  • this two-channel construction there is the possibility, e.g. a simple short circuit piece between the two suction nozzles, over the separate suction lines to clean the system in the circuit.
  • CIP cleaning in place. It follows from the fact that the extracted foam remains sterile and clean and thus recycled can be. It is known that, for example, in larger breweries annual losses of up to DM 1 million occur due to foam overflow. These can be saved with the present invention.
  • the device according to the invention can be used on any transport devices, such as. Conveyor belts or the like can be provided. It can also e.g. on a rotating filling machine in an additional end sector, after completion the filling process and before transfer to a further transport device, be provided. You can also on a rotating rotating Sealing machine provided in an initial sector before the closing time his. However, the features of claim 4 are advantageously provided. In a transfer star that has no other than the transfer transport Tasks, there are particularly simple structural conditions to Suction devices should be provided at every container location of the star.
  • the suction device according to claim 5 is advantageous as a stationary elongated and the mouth edge of the containers conveyed on the transport device formed adjacent suction bar. This in particular simplifies the Construction of the suction connections.
  • FIG. 1 shows a top view of one rotating around an axis 1 in the direction of the arrow Beverage filling machine 2, the rotating with the filling machine 2, schematically fills bottles 3 shown with their body size.
  • the bottles 3 run on container locations provided at a fixed circumferential distance the circulation circuit 4. Further details of a conventional beverage filling machine are omitted to simplify the drawing.
  • the bottles 3 are placed on a transfer star 6 passed, on which they, on the circulation circuit 7 in circumferentially spaced, not shown Container positions held, transported around an axis 8 become.
  • the bottles 3 are turned to a rotating one Pass the capping machine 10, on which they turn in circumferentially spaced Container positions on a circulating circuit 11 rotating around an axis 12 Not shown facilities are closed, then to a not further transport device 13 explained in more detail to be handed over.
  • a foaming pulse generator 14 is arranged adjacent to the transfer point 5.
  • this is provided as a high-pressure water jet injector, who with a thin and sharp high pressure water jet 15 water from injected into the mouths of bottles 3 above.
  • the bottles 3 are filled in the beverage filling machine 2 with a beverage containing CO 2 , such as beer.
  • a beverage containing CO 2 such as beer.
  • the foaming impulse generated by briefly injecting the high-pressure water jet 15 into a bottle 3 leads to the foaming of the beverage.
  • Figure 2 shows an axial section through the rotating with means not shown driven axis 8 the transfer star, shown in simplified form as a plate 6.
  • the cut runs through a container space which, in the exemplary embodiment, as the comparison with the top view in FIG. 3 shows, as a U-shaped pocket 16 is trained.
  • the pocket 16 is, as Figure 2 shows, the diameter of the bottle neck adapted and this, the 'usual collar 17 of the bottle 3rd underneath, wear.
  • FIG. 2 shows that foam 18 has just started, the mouth of the bottle 3 to exceed. If bottle 3 continues to run, it would probably be Foam keep rising and then run down bottle 3 and contaminate them and at least the transfer star 6.
  • the transfer star 6 is at every container location, ie a suction device is provided on each pocket 16. This is shown in FIG. 2 and 3 shown suction nozzle 19, which with its mouth in the immediate vicinity Near the edge of the mouth of the bottle 3 is arranged. Even easier Suction effect of the suction nozzle 19 becomes the one passing over the edge of the bottle Foam 18 sucked off without loss.
  • the suction nozzle 19 is connected to a ring line with a line 20 21 connected, which shows schematically as Figure 2, to a bore 22 in the axis 8 is connected.
  • a suction device for example a vacuum pump.
  • the extracted liquid can be recovered with devices not shown and be returned to the filling process.
  • the suction nozzle 19 is greatly widened, slit-shaped trained and adapted to the circumference of the edge of the bottle 3 so that a particularly good and safe suction result.
  • the sealing insert 23 shown in Figure 3 It only needs to clean the sealing insert 23 shown in Figure 3 to the Nozzles 19 and 19 'are set sealingly.
  • the sealing insert is 23 in not shown with an internal passage between the two Provide suction nozzles. The nozzles can therefore circulate through 22, 21, 20, 19 and through the sealing insert 23 and then further through 19 ', 20', 21 ', 22' in Circuit to be cleaned.
  • the container locations on the transfer star 6 are in the embodiment as Pocket 16, so designed to hang neck collar bottles 3, formed. They can also, as usual, encompass the body of the bottle 3 on a stand Bags be formed, the suction nozzles 19 and 19 'in their Height may need to be adjustable to accommodate different container heights to be able to. With appropriate training, the Foam spillage in beverage cans can be prevented.
  • the foam is generated with the frothing pulse generator 14 and with the suction nozzles 19, 19 'on the transfer star 6 shown.
  • a corresponding device can alternatively also at the container locations the closing machine 10 may be provided in the direction of rotation immediately after the transfer point 9 before starting the containers are closed.
  • the described one would be particularly effective, but structurally somewhat more difficult Foaming device on the beverage filling machine 2 in a last, the sector following the filling sector immediately in front of the transfer point 5 provided. There would be the advantage that the containers transported so early be filled with foam in their head space as possible.
  • the one or more suction nozzles 19, 19 'located at a container location nearby of the container edge are to be provided, as in FIGS. 2 and 3, laterally as close as possible to the edge of the container. It can, for example, also have a suction nozzle acting centrally from above be provided.
  • the suction device has individual, moving suction nozzles 19, 19 'assigned to each container location (pocket 16) on.
  • a stationary suction device can also be provided.
  • the stationary suction device is a suction bar 25 shown the transfer star 6 on its circumference at the level of the edge the bottle 3 surrounds. It has one along its entire length on the inside edge Suction slot 26, as shown in Figure 2.
  • FIG 1 shows, begins the suction bar 25 in the transport direction immediately behind the frothing pulse generator 14 and ends shortly before the transfer point 9 to the sealing machine 10. Since the squeegee 15 is stationary, it can be connected to one in a very simple manner Suction device, not shown, may be connected. It can also be done on simple Be made CIP-capable. For this, e.g. the suction slot 26 to suitable Way to close and the suction bar 25 e.g. at the ends with suction lines to be connected to a cleaning circuit. Also a division into Two parts, similar to the nozzles 19, 19 ', are possible, the two nozzles being in series or can be arranged one above the other.
  • suction device spaced apart from one another in a row arranged to form a plurality of suction nozzles, the transfer star surrounded at its circumference at the edge of the bottles, and at which the bottles circulating with the transfer star run past.
