Definitions
- the invention relates to a filling device for filling or closing of packaging materials according to the preamble of claim 1.
- UC systems are known in the field of filling devices (UC: abbreviation for English "Ultra Clean”). These systems meet a certain standard of hygiene, which is, however, below the standard of so-called aseptic systems and usually requires no monitoring of certain functions.
- aseptic system z. B. in access to the protected area, such as after opening a protective door, the area of the open cup new and time-consuming sterilized.
- the object of the invention is to be able to provide a filling device, in particular in the field of UC systems, which enables improved hygiene.
- the filling device is designed for filling or closing of packaging materials, with packaging materials in particular to be filled packages such. Plastic cups, about for yogurt, or the like can act.
- the packaging materials are usually separated from a supply and transported by means of a transport device over a transport path.
- a transport device Across the transport path, at least one processing station for processing the packaging material is provided.
- stations such as a filling station for filling the packaging material and a closing device for closing the packaging material are provided.
- the filling device is correspondingly adapted to supply the packaging materials via the transport path to at least one processing station and to transfer the packaging materials from an open state into a closed and in particular filled state.
- a housing is provided to encapsulate the transport path at least in this area, in which the packaging materials are still open.
- a flow device for generating an air flow in the housing is provided in order to prevent the penetration of dirt particles into the packaging materials.
- the term "capsules” as a rule does not mean airtight, hermetic sealing of the corresponding part of the transport path in which open packaging materials are located. Rather, the term “capsules” means that a wall of the housing is arranged over a large part of the area surrounding the corresponding transport path, so that dirt particles from the surroundings can penetrate more poorly.
- the housing fulfills the function of enabling a kind of routing, after which the flow device can accordingly generate an air flow within the housing.
- This air flow can be directed so that any existing dirt particles are transported along within the housing with the air flow and the probability that they get into the packaging materials is kept as low as possible.
- the transport device transports the packaging materials over the transport path in a transport direction. It is conceivable in principle that the flow device in turn allows a flow in or perpendicular to the transport direction. Whether one or the other direction of flow is preferred, if necessary, also depends on the packaging materials to be filled. In order to form a laminar flow, it may generally be advantageous if the paths to be traversed are not selected too small. Accordingly, the flow along the transport direction from a certain flow rate can ensure that as little as possible dirt particles precipitate out of the flow and can penetrate into the packaging materials.
- the flow can take place in and / or counter to the transport direction, in particular, the flow can also be introduced at a certain point of the transport path and then run on both sides, once in and once against the transport direction. This also offers the advantage that at the beginning and at the end of the transport route, an air flow flows out of the housing and dirt particles can penetrate into the housing worse.
- the flow device may be formed as a laminar hood for generating the flow.
- a laminar hood can essentially be attached over the entire length of the structural housing, in particular in the case of filling machines with a straight transport path. This also makes possible in particular a modular construction of the filling device, which allows a special degree of flexibility and a particularly simple design of the machine.
- the laminar hood can be arranged in one embodiment of the invention, in particular outside of the housing in order not to require increased space in the transport path.
- the area or volume that is actually encapsulated and sealed against dirt particles should be kept as small as possible, which can help to save costs.
- the flow device can have at least one heating device, so that no condensed liquid, in particular within the housing, can settle, which could otherwise lead to an impairment of the contents.
- numerous processing stations can be provided: including weighing devices for weighing the packaging material before and / or after the filling provided.
- a weighing device may be designed to weigh the empty or filled packaging material, for example to determine whether the intended amount has actually been filled.
- a device for filling the packaging material as well as a closure device for closing the packaging material are usually required.
- a pick-up device may be provided for picking up and separating out the packaging materials from a supply of packaging materials.
- the initially empty packaging material and possibly later the filled packaging material can be measured with the aid of a weighing device.
- the weighing station can in particular also be integrated in a filling station, ie the packaging material is measured during the filling process with respect to its weight.
- a processing station can provide illumination with ultraviolet light (in particular: UV-C light).
- UV-C light ultraviolet light
- the filling device is designed so that the housing encapsulates the transport path between each including the pick-up device and the closure device, ie in the area in which the packaging material is open.
- the entire filling area can be maintained according to a high standard of hygiene in an advantageous manner by this variant.
- the still remaining openings or gaps in the housing can be secured in one embodiment of the invention thereby against the ingress of dirt particles that inside the housing, an overpressure (compared to the environment outside the housing) is generated.
- This overpressure can be generated in particular by the flow device.
- the air, driven by the flow device tends to escape to the outside, so that less unwanted dirt particles from the environment can penetrate into the housing.
- the corresponding processing station can be mounted directly above the transport route. As a result, in particular the costs for the flow device can be reduced.
- FIG. 1 shows a filling device 1, in which the packaging materials, such as yogurt cups or yoghurt pails, are transported over a transport path T.
- the placement of the cups or packaging materials on the transport path T is carried out by a so-called Bechersetzer 2.
- a cup control device 3 is provided.
- a sterilization of the packaging materials by irradiation with UV-C light. As a result, for example, bacteria can be killed, so that it is ensured that the interior of the packaging material container is not contaminated when subsequently food should be bottled.
- the cup bases are fed to the transport path T several stations or processing stations and thereby transported in the transport direction R.
- dosing stations are designated, one for predosing 5 and one to the main dosage 6. Both dosing stations 5, 6 may be additionally associated with a weighing device.
- the packaging material closure takes place in particular at the end of the transport path: First, a board is placed in the insertion station 7 on the packaging material cup and sealed pointwise. The complete sealing takes place in the heat-sealing station 8.
- the transport path T is surrounded by the housing 9 and encapsulated.
- the laminar hoods 10, 11 provide an air flow in the corresponding area B of the transport path T.
- the flow is initiated in the middle of the transport route and forwarded on both sides, once in and once against the transport direction R (each flow directions S1, S2), so that the air respectively flows out of the housing 9 at the entrance and at the exit of the area B and keeps dirt particles away better.
- the aforementioned processing stations such as the Bechersetzer 2, the cup control 3 for attendance, the sterilization station 4, the metering stations 5, 6 and the introduction and heat sealing device 7, 8, may be partially or even substantially completely above the housing 9 and the transport path T be arranged and pass through the appropriate bushings to the actual cup on the transport path T.
- this is surrounded by the housing 9 in the region B and is correspondingly flown in the direction R, so that no dirt particles can penetrate into the packaging material.
- the passages through the housing 9 can be formed so small that a handling device of the corresponding station still fits through. All gaps and openings are flowed through from the inside (in the housing 9) to the outside (into the environment) by the pressure gradient, so that here, too, the probability that dirt particles can penetrate is very low.
- Both laminar hoods 10, 11 can be easily placed above the or some processing stations. They generate over a certain distance a substantially laminar flow. Furthermore, the laminar hoods 10, 11 are heated in order to prevent condensation.
- the transport device 12 has the tunnel-like structure, which serves as a housing 9 for partitioning the substances to be filled. On the outside of the housing 9 windows are mounted in order to obtain better control in the machining processes.
