  • the working temperatures needed in the sterilizing tunnel range from between 40°C and 150°C, it being understood that the temperature of hot air injected is between 200°C and 300°C.
  • the high temperatures used which entail high production costs, are needed to prevent the gas-phase hydrogen peroxide from condensing inside the containers. For this same reason, the concentration of gas-phase hydrogen peroxide is kept below 53%.
  • the container to be sterilized is of a plastic bottle or aluminized cardboard type.
  • No effective solutions are known for sterilizing containers made of a flexible laminar material, which is folded and generally soldered by thermofusion to shape the container.
  • the present invention forms a proposal to solve the problems raised above and brings numerous advantages to the state of the art.
  • the device for the shaping, filling and sealing of containers of flexible and soft laminar material, with a container preshaping station, followed by a filling chamber; a container sealing station and an unloading station for filled containers is characterized in that the shaping and filling chamber is made up by a first sterilizing antechamber and a second filling tunnel in sterile conditions.
  • the sterilizing antechamber contains a large number of nozzles for injecting hot air and gas- phase hydrogen peroxide inside the preshaped containers, the hydrogen peroxide being in a concentration that varies according to the relative humidity and temperature of the sterilizing antechamber.
  • the device being the object of the invention is also characterized in that the temperature in the sterilizing antechamber is equal to or lower than 70°C, and because the temperature of the preshaping station, filling tunnel, sealing station and unloading station of the containers is kept at ambient temperature.
  • the temperature of the sterilizing antechamber is preferably between 40°C and 70°C.
  • the temperature in the sterilizing antechamber is preferably between 40°C and 70°C.
  • the device is also characterized in that the pressure in the sterilizing antechamber is greater than the pressure in the preshaping station and lower than or equal to the pressure in the sterile filling tunnel.
  • the pressure in the sterilizing antechamber is lower than the pressure in the preshaping station and the filling tunnel in sterile conditions.
  • the preshaping station and, at least, the sterile filling tunnel have means for supplying air which provide a vertical air flow, perpendicular to the direction in which the containers move.
  • the concentration of gas- phase hydrogen peroxide is equal to or lower than 30,000 parts per million (ppm).
  • the device according to the invention is also characterized in that the concentration of gas-phase hydrogen peroxide is equal to or lower than 1,500 parts per million (ppm).
  • the procedure for the shaping, filling and sealing of containers of soft and flexible material being the object of the invention is characterized in that it comprises the following stages: a) container preshaping using a laminar material, said material being folded and cut to produce a container; b) container sterilization in a sterilizing antechamber, situated prior to a filling chamber in sterile conditions; c) container filling in sterile conditions; d) container sealing in sterile conditions; and e) container unloading.
  • the procedure is characterized in that the container sterilization stage b) consists of the injection of hot sterile air, followed by the injection of gas-phase hydrogen peroxide, with a concentration of hydrogen peroxide which varies according to the temperature and relative humidity of the sterilizing antechamber.
  • the procedure being the object of the invention is also characterized in that the container sterilization stage b) is performed at a temperature equal to or lower than 70°C, preferably between a range of 40°C and 70°C, and more preferably between 45°C and 55°C.
  • the procedure being the object of the invention is also characterized in that in the preshaping stage a), the filling stage c), the sealing stage d) and the unloading stage e), the containers are kept at ambient temperature.
  • the sterile air of the sterilizing antechamber, enriched with hydrogen peroxide is evacuated into the atmosphere prior to transformation of the peroxide into water and oxygen via catalysis.
  • FIG. 1 corresponds to a diagram of the device for the shaping, filling and sealing of containers of flexible and soft laminar material according to the invention, wherein the components that characterize it can be seen.
  • FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic representation of a device 1, of the type usually used for the shaping, filling and sealing of containers of flexible and soft material (101, 102, 103, 104), and wherein the characteristic parts of the invention are represented.
  • the device 1 has been shown truncated, not accounting for the usual, known elements used to perform the shaping, filling and sealing of the containers. It can be seen how the device 1 has a container preshaping station 2, followed by a filling chamber 3; a container sealing station 4 and a container unloading station 5.
  • the filling chamber 3 is divided into two clearly-defined areas, the first consisting in a first sterilizing antechamber 6 and the second in a filling tunnel 7 in sterile conditions.
  • the preshaping station 2 the flexible and soft laminar material 15 coming from a reel 16, is folded and cut accordingly to form a preshaped container 101, which defines a cavity suitable for receiving the product.
  • the laminar material 15 of the base 12 and walls 11 of the containers 101 is soldered by using pressure and heat, consequently forming the watertight cavity which will be filled with the produce in question in the filling tunnel 7 in sterile conditions.
  • the sterilizing chamber 6 contains nozzles 8 for injecting, inside the preshaped containers 101 from the preshaping station 2, hot sterile air and gas-phase hydrogen peroxide.
  • Sterile containers 102 are produced in this operation.
  • Fig. 1 three nozzles 8 are shown.
  • Said air shown by a dotted arrow (H) is drawn from the atmosphere and filtered by conventional filters 18, such as HEPA filters, and is then heated by normal heating means 17, such as, for example, an electrical resistance.
  • the nozzle 82 injects gas- phase hydrogen peroxide inside the preshaped containers 101, with a concentration that varies according to the relative humidity and temperature of the sterilizing antechamber 6.
  • PHV-type Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide
  • STERIS is used to inject hydrogen peroxide gas which, via specific sensors, not shown here, sends humidity and temperature data to a control terminal which, in accordance with said data, carries out the order to inject hydrogen peroxide in non-saturated gas conditions.
  • the temperature inside the sterilizing antechamber 6 is between 40°C and 70°C, and preferably between 45°C and 55°C. Said temperature is what comes from the sterile air injected by the nozzles 81 and 83.
  • the combined effect of the temperature from the soldering equipment used in the preshaping station 2 and the hot air injected from the sterilizing antechamber 6, mean that the antechamber 6 can work up to a range of temperatures of up to 70°C, while also ensuring that the containers 102 are sterilized and made watertight. This is a very important aspect because, in a container type such as the one described, the folded areas of material are critical areas for contamination.
  • the sterilizing antechamber 6 has an evacuating device 20 which comprises a hydrogen peroxide catalyst which transforms the residual hydrogen peroxide in the antechamber 6 into water and oxygen, which can be released into the atmosphere. As can be seen in Fig.
  • the filling tunnel in sterile conditions 7, the sealing station 4 and the unloading station 5 have, like the preshaping station 2, means for supplying air 92.
  • These means 92 provide a flow (F) of sterile air, vertical and perpendicular with respect to the direction (G) in which the containers 103 move in the filling tunnel 7, creating in this way a curtain of air which hinders the entry of any particles inside the antechamber of the filling tunnel 7.
  • Added to these means for supplying sterile air 92, is that the resulting pressure in the sterilizing antechamber 6, in the filling tunnel 7 and in the sealing 4 and unloading stations 5 of the containers, is greater than the pressure in the preshaping station 2.
  • the pressure in the antechamber 6 is greater than the pressure in the preshaping station 2, but less than the pressure in the adjoining filling tunnel 7. In this way, any particle from the preshaping station 2 is prevented from entering the antechamber 6 and, at the same time, sterile air from the supply means 92 provided in the filling tunnel 7, enters the sterilizing antechamber 6, ensuring a sterile atmosphere.
  • the pressure in the different stations can be regulated in accordance with the pressure of the atmosphere.
  • the sealing station 4 and the unloading station 5 have means for injecting sterile air (F), in the same way as the filling tunnel in sterile conditions 7, there is the non-exclusive possibility that the sealing 4 and unloading stations 5 have other methods for ensuring a sterile atmosphere, such as ultraviolet radiation lamps, or any other method suitable for sterilizing.
  • the filling nozzles 21 are represented diagrammatically in the filling tunnel in sterile conditions 7.
  • containers 103 consisting in, for example, sealing by heat fusion and pressure on the material without a lid 14.
  • Other sealing methods are also considered wherein the lid 14 is added before reaching the sealing station 4.
  • the containers 104 are collected in the unloading station 5 and taken to a normal packing station 23 for subsequent distribution.
  • a device 1 according to the invention which comprises a first container sterilizing antechamber 6 and a filling tunnel in sterile conditions 7, containers of soft and flexible material 101, 102, 103, 104 can be manufactured at an average rate of 60 cycles per minute, more than one container being processed in each cycle.
  • each cycle of preshaping, first injection of sterile air, injection of hydrogen peroxide gas, filling, etc. runs at a rate of, for example, two containers 101, 102, 103, 104 per cycle.
  • Said parameters correspond to the usual ones in this type of device and manufacturing process, in such a way that the added characteristic of sterilizing the containers 101, 102, 103, 104 does not affect their production.
  • this technical solution of providing a first sterilizing antechamber 6 and a second filling tunnel in sterile conditions 7 which allows sterilization at relatively low temperatures and with controlled concentrations of gas-phase hydrogen peroxide applies to any device 1 for the shaping, filling and sealing of containers of soft and flexible laminar material without moving away from the object of the invention. It can thus be considered for use with devices 1 and procedures that operate at different rates or which are complemented by a variety of accessories for improving the shaping, filling or sealing of containers 101 , 102, 103, 104.
  • the device 1 according to the invention Prior to its use for the shaping, filling and sealing of containers of soft and flexible laminar material, the device 1 according to the invention must be completely conditioned and sterilized in those areas or regions requiring a sterile atmosphere.
  • the device must be washed according to the standard procedures, using, for example, disinfectant solutions and steam, but also, because it has many nozzles 8 for injecting gas-phase hydrogen peroxide, this gas is also used for the prior sterilization of the device stations which must be kept in sterile conditions during operation, which includes, the sterilizing antechamber 6, the filling tunnel 7 and the sealing station 4.
  • a variation of the present invention consists in a device 1 made up by a filling chamber 3, a container sealing station 4 and an unloading station 5, and is a device 1 without the preshaping station 5, but wherein the filling chamber 3 consists in a first sterilizing antechamber 6 and a second filling tunnel in sterile conditions 7.
  • the device 1 made up by a filling chamber 3, a container sealing station 4 and an unloading station 5, can be situated in an adjacent position in any area or room, ensuring that the hydrogen peroxide will be taken to the evacuating catalyser device 20 and will not be leaked in the room wherein the device 1 is located.
  • this pressure relationship may itself be applied to a device 1 which comprises a preshaping station 2, this causes the pressure in the sterilizing antechamber 6 to be lower than atmospheric pressure, the preshaping station 2 being joined to the sterilizing antechamber 6 acting as a means of protection against leakage of the gas-phase hydrogen peroxide into the room and, therefore, while it ensures that the pressure in the filling tunnel in sterile conditions 7 is higher than that in the sterilizing antechamber 6, this makes no difference if the pressure in the antechamber 6 is or is not lower than the atmospheric pressure in the preshaping station 2.
