Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for closing vessels with a a reclosable screw cap and one Protective cap for covering such a drinking cap and on a device to carry out this procedure.
  • Such closures are a complete unit with a pressed-on protective cap and a closed drinking opening for the purpose of closing vessels and in this state preferably before the actual closure from the inside cleaned.
  • the cap is then applied to the bottle.
  • residual liquids in the inner structure of the consisting of different parts Remain locked.
  • Such residual liquids are particularly in the beverage sector of considerable disadvantages and therefore undesirable.
  • the invention has for its object an improved method and an improved device for cleaning and to show how to apply such closures.
  • This object of the invention is based on a method of the beginning mentioned type in that the closures with an open drinking opening subjected to cleaning before the closing process and then the open one Drink closure with closure of the drink opening on the mouth of the vessels applied and then the protective caps applied to the closures become.
  • the proposed method is an improved and flawless cleaning guaranteed such closures.
  • the closures come in two parts as a closure Delivered with a separate protective cap, the separate drinking cap is open. In this state, the closure is expedient with the drinking closure subjected to a cleaning process downwards, the through the interior spent cleaning liquid or the corresponding sterilizing agent can emerge below.
  • the protective caps are also cleaned separately instead of.
  • the complete closure 1 for example in the form of a screw closure, from the closure part 2 with screw thread 3 and an annular formed on the upper end face Drinking opening 4. This can be moved into an open position in the axial direction Closure 5 sealed.
  • an additional Protective cap 6 is provided, which is held in a latching connection 7.
  • On such closure 1 is separated according to the invention from the protective cap 6 and with an open drinking opening 4 for closing vessels, bottles 8 and the like the system for closing these bottles 8 added.
  • the closures or the closing parts 2 with the drinking opening 4 open are a Feeder brought to the takeover point on the closer, whereby first preferably with the drinking opening down and the actual one Screw cap opening upwards in front of the transfer point through a cleaning bath 14 are directed.
  • the separately supplied protective caps 6 are also in a further lane through the cleaning bath 14 or another suitable one Cleaning device performed. This can also be done from rows of spray nozzles consist. This cleaning can be done with water, sterile liquid, steam or the like be carried out.
  • the closures cleaned in this way then get into the Sealing machine.
  • a conveyor track 17 is provided for the opened screw closures 2, which are added to the closer turning circle or closing head 11 by means of a transfer device 18. This lowers onto the bottles 8 and screws the closure 2 onto the mouth of the vessel.
  • the closure head 11 has means 21 which also automatically close the drinking closure during this process.
  • the bottle closed in this way is then fed to the further turning circle 20, in which the protective cap 6 is then placed, as already described above.
  • the drinking opening 4 can also be closed in the feed area after cleaning before the actual closing process.
  • the protective caps 6 are transported on a path 19 running parallel thereto and cleaned if necessary, which then in a further turning circle 20 on the already screwed closures 2 removed or taken over by these and be pressed on.
