  • vacuum or vacuum is required and used to remove ambient air and associated with the oxygen in the ambient air from the containers to be filled, in one of the actual filling phase preceding single or multi-stage pre-treatment phase.
  • the disadvantage is u.a. an increased effort for storage and stockpiling of different vacuum pumps and their spare parts, associated increased costs and the fact that a change in the vacuum and suction power of the vacuum device in question only to a limited extent and then only possible that in certain operating conditions only an inadequate efficiency for the single vacuum pump is accepted.

  • the vacuum device consists of at least two vacuum pumps designed for parallel operation, preferably of more than two vacuum pumps designed for parallel operation, these vacuum pumps preferably being of identical construction and power.
  • Another aspect of the invention is that the total vacuum or suction power of the vacuum device is controlled by the speed and the number of activated vacuum pumps.
  • the invention offers the possibility to convert existing vacuum devices accordingly.
  • “Bulk performance” in the sense of the invention means e.g. Capacity of the container filling machine per unit of time measured in liters.

  • the plant 1 comprises at least one device or machine, for example a filling machine, in which the containers 2 and / or device areas are subjected to a vacuum or to a negative pressure, for example with a negative pressure in the range from 80 mbar to 100 mbar.
  • the containers 2 are fed to the system 1 at a container inlet 1.1 and discharged from the system 1 at a container outlet 1.2.
  • a central vacuum device 3 is provided for the system 1, which has a multiplicity of electrically operated vacuum pumps 4.1-4.3.
  • the vacuum device 3 has a total of three vacuum pumps 4.1 - 4.3, the vacuum or suction power can be individually controlled within certain limits by changing the pump speed or regulated.
  • the electrical control of the drive motor of the respective vacuum pump 4.1 - 4.3 is frequency-controlled via a frequency control device, for example in a frequency range between 40 Hz and 60 Hz.
  • a control and regulating electronics or a machine control referred to, for example, is formed by the process computer of Appendix 1 or provided in addition to this process computer and, among other things, depending on process parameters in the manner described in more detail below, the circuit and control or regulation the vacuum pump 4.1 - 4.3 takes place.

  • the containers for example, before the actual filling one or more times applied with vacuum and then with an inert gas, such as CO2 gas, rinsed, it may be in the process parameters to product-specific parameters, the container size, the filling temperature, etc. act.
  • an inert gas such as CO2 gas
  • the required number of pumps is for example tabulated and entered or read at the beginning of production in the machine control 5 for a special treatment method and for a temperature for the closed circuit of the vacuum pumps 4.1 - 4.3, so that with this number of pumps (start condition) the production Appendix 1 can be started.
  • the suction power of the vacuum pumps 4.1 - 4.3 is controlled or regulated by their speed. In this case, it is necessary, depending on the type of pump used, to set the speed of the vacuum pump 4.1-4.3 so that it makes economic sense, i. can be operated with the best possible efficiency.
  • a pump characteristic can be determined for each type of pump, which reproduces the electrical connection power, ie the electrical power requirement as a function of the vacuum or suction power .
  • the electrical connection power ie the electrical power requirement as a function of the vacuum or suction power
  • other parameters such as the barrier water temperature have a significant influence on the electrical power requirement of the respective vacuum pump 4.1 - 4.3, these are also taken into account in the pump characteristic or parameter-specific pump characteristics are determined.
  • the pump characteristic preferably also taking into account the overall efficiency of the vacuum device 3 and the vacuum-leading portion of the system 1, which is in the FIG. 2 represented overall characteristic curve 7 formed at a given, from the Vacuum device 3 generated constant negative pressure, ie in the illustrated embodiment at a negative pressure of 80 mbar the electrical power requirement in kW as a function of the suction power in m 3 / h reproduces.
  • An essential part of the overall characteristic curve 7 are the switching points specified there with SP1 and SP2, at which switching the number of vacuum pumps 4.1-4.3 to a higher or lower number of vacuum pumps, for example switching from a vacuum pump to two parallel-operated vacuum pumps at the switching point SP1 or switching from two parallel operated vacuum pumps to three parallel operated vacuum pumps at the switching point SP2 and vice versa.

  • the operating point is a possible operating point in the operation of a single vacuum pump 4.1-4.3, wherein also for this operating point of a single vacuum pump suction power and associated power consumption are known.
  • the operating point 7.1 suction power of the power requirement of a single vacuum pump significantly above the power demand of two parallel operated vacuum pumps.
  • the pumps are operated in the different operating states with different frequencies and thus with different pump speeds, namely in the operating state with only one activated vacuum pump 4.1 - 4.3 with a frequency between 40 and 58 Hz, in the operating state with two activated vacuum pumps 4.1 - 4.3 with a frequency between 40 and 52 Hz and in the operating state with three activated pumps with a frequency between 40 and 60 Hz.
  • the in the FIG. 2 reproduced overall characteristic takes into account a sealing water temperature of the vacuum pump 4.1 - 4.3, for example, 25 ° C. If the sealing water temperature has a greater influence on the pump characteristic or on the efficiency of the vacuum pumps 4.1-4.3, then different overall characteristic curves 7 result for each barrier water temperature, which are then taken into account for the control and regulation of the vacuum pumps 4.1-4.3 during the ongoing process.

  • the overall characteristic curve 7 shown as an example also assumes that the vacuum pumps 4.1-4.3 operating in parallel are each operated at the same frequency of the supply voltage. Although this is an easy to implement solution, operation of the parallel vacuum pumps is 4.1 - 4.3 basically not necessarily with the same frequency of the supply voltage.

  • At least the vacuum power of one of the activated vacuum pumps 4.1-4.3 is changed via appropriate adjustment of the frequency and thus the pump speed via the machine controller 5 so that the negative pressure provided by the vacuum device 3 is the target negative pressure equivalent.
  • the machine control 5 switches according to the overall characteristic curve 7 to the next higher number of parallel-operated vacuum pumps 4.1-4.3. Conversely, if a reduction of the suction power of the vacuum unit 3 and thus a reduction of the pump speed is required, then the machine control 5 switches to the next lower number of activated vacuum pumps 4.1 - 4.3 when reaching the switching point SP1 or SP2.
  • FIG. 1 a common for all vacuum pumps 4.1 - 4.3 of the vacuum device 3 means for providing and / or Preparation of sealing water, which is part of the vacuum pump 4.1 - 4.3 water circuit and includes a device for cooling the sealing water and connections for venting, for supplying fresh water and for discharging wastewater.
  • both at the beginning of the process and during the ongoing process of the machine controller 5 always those vacuum 4.1 - 4.3 preferably activated, currently have the lowest operating times, so that a uniform use of all vacuum pumps 4.1 - 4.3 takes place and for all vacuum pumps the respective Maintenance is due at the same time.
  • the vacuum pumps 4.1-4.3 to be activated are each selected so that the maintenance for a subset of the vacuum pumps 4.1-4.3 is then incurred, even if the plant 1 and / or its components must be maintained, so u.a. the number of production stoppages and / or operations for maintenance personnel and thus the associated costs are considerably reduced.
  • vacuum pump 4.1 - 4.3 After a further operating method that vacuum pump 4.1 - 4.3 is blocked, in which, for example, due to their operating hours and / or their condition maintenance is mandatory.
  • the operation of the vacuum device 3 is then carried out exclusively with the remaining, not locked vacuum pumps 4.1 - 4.3.
