Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an automatic apparatus for flushing container filling machines and an associated filling machine equipped with said flushing apparatus.
  • said machines consist of a circular platform on which the empty containers are fed and arranged at regular angular intervals so that, when a rotational movement is imparted to the platform, said containers are located in a coaxial position underneath fixed delivery heads which are connected to pipes supplying the product to be packaged.
  • flushing operations are performed by supplying a flushing liquid to the same pipes supplying the product to be introduced into the containers; the flushing liquid is discharged from the filling nozzles and collected by special trays which have the form of a circle segment and are movable from a rest position radially outside the circumference of the container support rings into a working position radially inside this circumference and situated underneath a plurality of nozzles.
  • the technical problem which is posed, therefore, is to provide an apparatus for performing flushing and recovery of the associated flushing liquid, able to prevent spillage of the latter during the recovery and discharge stages, intended in particular for circular operating machines such as, for example, container filling machines.
  • this apparatus should have small dimensions, be easy and inexpensive to produce and assemble and be able to be installed also on existing machines without the need for excessive special adaptation and be able to perform flushing with an automatic sequence incorporated in the machine cycle.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide a filling machine equipped with said flushing apparatus according to the characteristic features of Claim 11.
  • the latter is substantially formed by a first upper ring 100 which has the filling nozzles 110 and a lower ring 300 which has the supports 310 for the containers 1 to be filled; the two rings are axially fixed and rotationally synchronized so that the nozzle 110 and the container 1 are always coaxial in the vertical direction Z-Z.
  • a flushing apparatus is axially arranged between the two rings 100 and 300 and comprises a middle ring 200 which has, arranged along its circumference, internally hollow and radially extending cups 210 with an upper opening 210a.
  • Said cups 210 have, emerging in their side surfaces, a pipe 211 connected to an annular header 220 provided with a fixed discharge union 221 integral with the lower ring 300.
  • An annular seal 212 of the 0-ring type is also provided inside the cup 210.
  • the cups 210 are present in a number corresponding to the number of filling nozzles 110 and are arranged in a position and at an angular distance such as to be coaxially out of alignment with the said nozzles.
  • the middle ring 200 has, integral therewith, a cylinder 260 with a mechanical stop 260a and arm 261 able to cause rotation of the ring 200 from the rest position ( Fig. 2 ) into a working position where each cup is arranged coaxial with a respective nozzle 210 ( Fig. 4 ).
  • Means 250 for moving the middle ring 200 in both directions along the vertical axis Z-Z are also arranged between the lower ring 300 and the middle ring 200.
  • means 400 comprising a pump 401 arranged on a slide 420 on which it may freely travel and an arm 430 extending in the vertical direction Z-Z and provided with a roller 431 able to engage in the vertical direction with a centring fork piece 330 integral with the lower ring 300 in a position such as to cause relative coaxial positioning of the mouth 410 of the pump 401 and the end union 221 of the header 220 ( Fig. 6a ); once centring is achieved the device 430 is raised so as to sealingly engage the mouth 410 and union 221, starting discharging of the flushing liquid.
  • the apparatus may also function with the fluid being supplied in the opposite direction.
