Definitions

the present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for treating containers according to the preambles of claims 1 and 10.
pneumatic cylinder for operating arranged in the clean room facilities that are operated with up to 12 bar working air.
the pneumatic cylinders can also be operated with sterile air.
this measure is not sufficient because, in the case of a continuous concept with the use of sterile air, the cylinder and all lines to the cylinder, including the built-in valves must be sterilized.
the sterilization of pneumatic systems is difficult to realize, d.
H. Pneumatic systems known in the art are unsuitable for sanitizing environments. In many cases, they can be replaced by electromagnetic systems, which, however, also have a number of disadvantages.
the solution of the above problem is achieved by a device for treating containers with a clean room for receiving the containers, ie in particular a receiving area in which preferably no or hardly any impurities or contaminants are present.
a clean room is usually characterized by a higher pressure inside than in the environment. Ten pascal pressure difference are generally sufficient to keep microorganisms out. In order to be able to maintain the clean room, the pressure within the clean room is always greater than the ambient pressure and / or the fluid pressure of the fluid devices provided within the clean room, in particular according to the clean room rule. In the clean room therefore a first pressure is foreseeable.
the device has at least one at least partially disposed within the clean room and fluid actuated actuator.
the fluid-actuatable actuator is preferably used for actuating, for example, one or more closure stoppers, one or more gripper actuators and / or the like, generally for actuation in a device for treating containers arranged in the clean room.
the fluid-actuatable actuator is designed as an element of a closure stopper and / or a gripper control and / or the like.
the (fluid-actuatable) actuator is preferably at least temporarily and particularly preferably permanently or exclusively operable with a pressure which is less than the first pressure.
the first pressure is at least equal to the ambient pressure and more preferably greater than the ambient pressure.
This embodiment is advantageous because a safe use of a pneumatic system in a clean room for receiving containers is provided in a simple and cost-effective manner.
Containers are preferably understood to be bottles, canisters, cans, bags or the like. Furthermore, the containers preferably have an external thread and a collar arranged underneath. It is also conceivable that the containers are preforms that are expandable to bottles or the like. Furthermore, the containers are preferably filled with food, drinks and food.
the actuator has at least two work spaces divided by a movable element, into which a fluid can be introduced.
the movable element is in this case preferably understood as a cylinder, piston or disc-shaped surface element, also conceivable is a spherical or spherical-like or a flat surface having training.
the work spaces are preferably work spaces of a cylinder, d. H. their volumes always result in the sum always independent of the respective position or position of the movable element always the same total volume.
At least one of the working spaces is at least temporarily in fluid communication with at least one means for generating a negative pressure. It is conceivable that both or all working spaces are always in communication with one or the same means for generating a negative pressure.
the means for generating a negative pressure is preferably as a pump, d. H. e.g. as a vacuum device or the like. However, it would also be possible that in one of the working spaces a spring element is provided, which biases the movable element in a certain position.
This embodiment is advantageous since a fluid can be sucked out of at least one working space.
the suction of the fluid results in movement of the movable member, whereby the negative pressure working space decreases due to movement of the movable member and the second working space due to an increase in its volume fluid from the environment or a fluid in the second working space in combination aspirated standing another receptacle.
the fluid in the first working space at least temporarily, a pressure which is dependent on the pressure in second working space is different, wherein in the clean room always a pressure is provided which is greater than the pressures in the workrooms. It is therefore also conceivable that negative pressure can be applied alternately in one working space and negative pressure in another working space, the pressure being particularly preferably less than the pressure in the clean space.
This embodiment is advantageous because it allows a faster movement of the movable element, since, when a negative pressure is generated in a first working space, no negative pressure acts against movement of the movable element in the further or second working space.
the first pressure is higher than the ambient pressure. This is advantageous because it prevents the penetration of bacteria, microorganisms, viruses, contamination and / or the like into the clean room.
a transport device for transporting the containers is provided in the clean room. It is also conceivable that the containers by means of the transport device into the clean room and / or from the clean room out or movable into, out or are movable. The speed of the movement can be controlled as a function of further parameters or, for example, arbitrarily specified.
the transport device may be, for example, a carrier wheel on which a plurality of gripping or holding devices is provided for holding the containers.
Conceivable would be transport chains, conveyor belts and the like.
the fluid is a liquid, a gas or a liquid-gas mixture.
the fluid is preferably a working gas, which is particularly preferably air.
a treatment device for treating the containers is provided in the clean room next to the transport device. These may be sealing units, sterilization units, filling units and the like.
At least one sensor device is provided for monitoring device parameters selected from the group consisting of pressure parameters, degree of contamination, movement parameters, temperature, combinations thereof and / or the like. This embodiment is advantageous because it allows accurate monitoring and thus control of the treatment of the containers.
the invention is further directed to the use of a vacuum operated actuator for the contamination-free operation of at least one container treatment device within a clean room.
a vacuum operated actuator for the contamination-free operation of at least one container treatment device within a clean room.
the invention is directed to a method for treating containers.
a first pressure is provided in a clean room for receiving the containers, and at least one actuator arranged at least partially within the clean room is fluid-actuated.
the actuator is at least temporarily operated at a pressure which is lower than the first pressure.
the actuator is permanently operated at a pressure that is less than the first pressure.

the work spaces 6 and 8 preferably have in their sum a volume which always has the same size.
the two pressures p 2 and p 3 are, in particular, regardless of the position of the movable element 10 is less than the pressure p. 1
the movable element 10 is particularly preferably a transmission means 12 in contact. Furthermore, it is conceivable that the movable element 10 and the transmission means 12 are formed as a common component. A displacement of the movable element 10 in the direction X preferably also leads to a movement of the transmission means 12 due to a coupling between the movable element 10 and the transmission means 12. Preferably, the movements of the transmission means 12 and the movable element 10 are at least partially synchronized.
the reference p at denotes the (in particular atmospheric) ambient pressure, which is lower than the pressure p 1 in the clean room.
