Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for treating a container, preferably in a beverage filling plant, particularly preferably for filling a container with a filling product.
  • the present invention further relates to a method for cleaning the apparatus for treating the containers.
  • Such a treatment member may be, for example, a filling member having a treatment opening in the form of a filling opening through which a treatment fluid in the form of a filling product passes into the container.
  • a treatment opening of the respective treatment member is present in the form of a corresponding flushing opening, through which a treatment fluid in the form of a flushing fluid enters the container to be treated.
  • clean containers by introducing a cleaning fluid, wherein the corresponding treatment member is then provided in the form of a cleaning member having a treatment opening in the form of the outlet opening for the treatment fluid in the form of the cleaning fluid.
  • the cleaning medium for cleaning the treatment member is introduced via a separate cleaning channel in the treatment member, and then withdrawn via the leading in the production operation, the treatment fluid channel in the treatment organ, so that here quasi a backward flushing of the treatment fluid leading channels in the treatment device is made possible. Again, the cleaning medium does not escape from the treatment opening.
  • This type of cleaning in which the treatment opening of the treatment member for cleaning the treatment member is closed with a closure and the treatment fluid leading channels are flushed in the treatment member with a cleaning medium, without this exits the treatment opening is also called “cleaning in place” (CIP ) or “Sterilization in Place” (SIP), since the treatment organ need not be removed, disassembled or disassembled to carry out the cleaning.
  • CIP cleaning in place
  • SIP Secondary in Place
  • the closure closing the treatment opening is usually designed in the form of a closure cap which seals the treatment opening of the treatment organ in a sealing manner.
  • the closure or the closure cap by means of a pivoting device from a production position in which the treatment opening is released and the treatment member is used to treat the container in a cleaning position pivoted, in which the treatment opening is closed in a fluid-tight manner and a cleaning of the treatment member is performed.
  • the pivoting device usually has a rotary shaft, which is connected via a boom with the corresponding cap. By means of a combined rotary-lifting movement of this rotary shaft, the cap is pivoted from the production position to the cleaning position and back to the production position.
  • the rotary shaft carries out in addition to the pivoting movement of a lifting movement, by means of which the cap is raised and is pressed onto the treatment opening when the cap is in the cleaning position. Accordingly, a complex pivoting device is necessary to perform the combined rotary-stroke movement and thus to move the shutter from the production position to the cleaning position and back again.
  • Such pivoting caps in the form of CIP caps with a rotary lifting device are for example from the DE 10 2009 033 557 A1 . DE 10 2010 027 623 A1 or the DE 10 2010 027 624 A1 known.
  • a device for treating a container preferably in a beverage filling plant, particularly preferably for filling a container with a filling product, comprising a treatment member having a treatment opening for treating the container with a treatment fluid, a closure for closing the treatment opening for cleaning the treatment member, and a pivoting device for moving the closure of a treatment opening for the treatment of the container release production position proposed in a treatment opening closing cleaning position.
  • the closure can be pivoted by the pivoting device in a plane which is stationary relative to the treatment element.
  • the pivoting device pivots the closure from the production position into the cleaning position in a plane fixed relative to the treatment member, a complex trajectory for moving the closure and thus a complex mechanical design of the pivoting device can be dispensed with. Due to the pivoting in a stationary plane, the pivoting device must accordingly execute only one rotation about a pivot axis. Lifting or lowering movements of the closure are not necessary. Accordingly, the pivoting device can be formed by a simple rotary drive, for example an electric motor or a compressed air drive. It is therefore unnecessary to provide a complex control for raising or lowering the closure for sealing the treatment opening in the cleaning position.
  • the pivoting device preferably pivots the closure as close as possible under the treatment opening, so that the stationary plane in which the closure is pivoted is designed so that a sealing of the treatment opening with the closure can be achieved.
  • the closure has a membrane, which can be pressed in the cleaning position by applying a pressure medium for sealing against the treatment opening.
  • the membrane is preferably acted upon with compressed air, cleaning medium or any other medium, such that in the cleaning position, a sealing closure of the treatment opening of the treatment member is achieved by the closure.
  • the membrane has a reinforcement region, which preferably follows the outer contours of the treatment opening.
  • the reinforcing region may, for example, be in the form of a plate-shaped reinforcement in the region of the membrane which is pressed against the treatment opening.
  • the pivoting device pivots the closure about an axis of rotation, wherein the axis of rotation is preferably arranged on the pitch circle of a rotary container treatment machine and / or is arranged eccentrically to the rotational axis of a carousel of the rotary treatment machine.
  • each treatment member is assigned its own pivoting device with closure directly, which is arranged correspondingly together with the treatment member on a pitch circle of a rotary container treatment machine.
  • the closure of each treatment opening in a rotary container treatment machine can be adjusted so that an optimum sealing effect is achieved.
  • the treatment member and the pivoting device can be controlled individually together with the closure or, in the case of maintenance or defect, removed modularly from the rotary container treatment machine and then exchanged modularly.
  • a piston is provided in the closure instead of or in addition to the membrane, by means of which the closure closes the treatment opening.
  • the piston may comprise either a seal or a correspondingly shaped part, which is complementary to the region of the treatment member surrounding the treatment opening, in order to achieve a corresponding sealing.
  • the pivoting device preferably comprises a rotary shaft, which extends along the axis of rotation, and by means of which the closure can be pivoted from the production position into the cleaning position.
  • the rotary shaft to a pressure medium channel to Actuation of the membrane and / or the piston of the closure with a pressure medium, preferably with cleaning medium or compressed air on.
  • a pressure medium preferably with cleaning medium or compressed air on.
  • a method for cleaning a device for treating a container comprising closing a treatment opening of a treatment member for treating a container by means of a closure and applying a cleaning fluid to the closed treatment member.
  • the closure for closing the treatment opening is pivoted from a production position leaving the treatment opening open for treatment of the container in a position fixed relative to the treatment organ into a cleaning position closing the treatment opening.
  • FIG. 1 shows a device 1 for treating a container not shown here in a beverage filling plant, comprising a treatment member 2 in the form of a filling member 20 with a treatment opening 22 in the form of a Greineres 26. About the Art.aueres 26 and using a filling valve 24 which a Greinerkegel 240 and has a Greventilkegelsitz 242, according to fill product from an overlying Mill etcreservoir via the treatment opening 22 in the container disposed below flow.
  • a filling member 20 is known in principle.
  • a closure 3 for closing the treatment opening 22 is shown, wherein the treatment opening 22 of the treatment member 2 for cleaning and / or sterilizing the treatment member 2 by means of the closure 3 is closed.
  • the closure 3 has a carrier 30, on which a membrane 32 is arranged. Between the membrane 32 and the carrier 30, a volume 34 is correspondingly formed, which can be acted upon by a pressure medium such that the membrane 32 is expanded and comes into contact with the treatment member 2 so that the treatment opening 22 fluid-tight and preferably also sealed pressure-tight becomes.
  • the pressure of the pressure medium which is introduced into the volume 34 between the support 30 and the membrane 32, determines the contact pressure of the membrane 32 to the treatment member 2 and thus also the maximum pressure of a cleaning medium, which can be applied to the treatment opening 22, without the seal applied by means of the closure 3 fails.
  • the shutter 3 is about a pivoting device 4 of the in FIG. 1 shown cleaning position pivoted to a production position, wherein a pivoting about the pivot axis X takes place around.
  • the swiveling device 4 pivots the closure 3 in such a way that, in the production position, it completely releases the treatment opening 22, and on the other hand so far out of the way that a container to be filled can be easily installed under the treatment opening 22 so that the filling product can flow into the container.
  • the pivoting device 4 pivots the shutter 3 in a pivoting plane Y fixed relative to the treatment member 2 from the treatment position to the production position and back again. Accordingly, the swivel device 4 does not have to apply any lifting or lowering movement to the closure 3.
  • the sealing of the treatment opening 22 of the treatment member 2 is effected by a corresponding loading of the volume 34 between the carrier 30 and the membrane 32 with a pressure medium.
  • the pivoting device 4 can thus be made quite simple, since only a rotation of the rotary shaft 40 about the pivot axis X around is necessary, a lifting movement but not done and is not provided.
  • the pivoting device 4 can be pivoted in accordance with a simple electric motor or a compressed air driven rotation mechanism so that the shutter 3 can be pivoted from the production position to the cleaning position and back again. This results in a simple storage of the rotary shaft 40th
  • the shutter 3 is connected to the rotation shaft 40 via a cantilever 42, with the cantilever 42 extending radially away from the rotation shaft 40, for example.
  • the rotary shaft 40 and the boom 42 have a common channel 5, through which the pressure medium can be introduced into the volume 34 between the carrier 30 and the membrane 32.
  • the channel 5 is formed in the embodiments shown in the figures by a introduced in the rotary shaft 40 through hole 50 and introduced into the boom 42 through hole 52.
  • the two through holes 50, 52 are correspondingly interconnected and sealed against each other, that a pressure-resistant channel 5 is formed, extending from a source not shown in the figures for the pressure medium to the volume 34 between the carrier 30 and the membrane 32nd extends.
  • the treatment member 2 and the treatment opening 22 are preferably formed symmetrically to an axis B of the treatment member 2.
  • the axis B of the treatment member 2 and the pivot axis X are preferably each on a pitch circle of a rotary container treatment machine. Accordingly, both the axis B of the treatment member 2, and the pivot axis X are arranged eccentrically to the rotational axis of a carousel of the rotary container treatment machine.
  • Each treatment element 2 in a rotary container treatment machine is preferably provided with its own pivoting device 4 and its own closure 3. Accordingly, the example in FIG. 1 shown unit of treatment member 2 and pivoting device 4 with the closure 3 are simply replaced modularly, if this should be necessary in the event of maintenance or defect.
  • Individual pressurization of the membrane 32 with pressure also allows an individual adaptation of the pressure of the pressure medium applied to the membrane 32, so that a fluid-tight seal of the respective treatment opening 22 is achieved with minimal wear on the membrane 32.
  • the membrane 32 has a reinforcement 320 in the region of the treatment opening 22.
  • the reinforcement 320 essentially follows the outer contours of the edge regions of the treatment opening 22.
  • the reinforcement 320 prevents bulging of the membrane 32 in the area of the contact surfaces around the treatment opening 22.
  • a uniform application of the membrane 32 is achieved to the treatment member 2, whereby the sealing effect of the membrane 32 is further improved. In this way, an unwanted opening of the seal at a possible weak point of the membrane 32 can be prevented.
  • the membrane 32 may be made of a plastic, preferably an elastic plastic. However, the membrane 32 can also be provided in the form of a bellows which contains plastic or metal or consists of these materials.
  • membrane 32 may be provided on the support 30 of the shutter 3, a piston not shown here, which is pressed to seal the treatment opening 22 by acting on the corresponding piston volume with a supplied for example via the channel 5 in the rotary shaft 40 pressure medium.
  • FIG. 2 a schematic perspective and partially sectional view of another device 1 is shown, wherein again a treatment member 2 is shown in the form of a filling member 20.
  • a closure 3 is provided, wherein the closure 3 has indeed been pivoted into the cleaning position in the pivoting plane Y, but the membrane 32 is not yet exposed to the corresponding pressure medium. Thus, the treatment opening 22 is not completely sealed.
  • the reinforcement 320 of the membrane 32 is in FIG. 2 Good to see and is here in the form of a circular or annular plate formed, which is applied to the membrane 32.
  • the radius of the circular plate of the reinforcement 320 substantially corresponds to the outer contours of the edge region around the treatment opening 22, so that the reinforcement 320 can come into contact with the edge region of the treatment opening 22.
  • a container holder 6 is shown, by means of which containers to be treated can be held on their neck ring and can thus be guided under the treatment member 2.
  • the pivoting device 4 and in particular the rotary shaft 40 are in turn clearly visible.
  • the pressurizing medium passage 5 is formed by the through-hole 50 in the rotating shaft 40 and the through-hole 52 in the boom 42.
  • FIG. 3 shows a schematic side view of the device 1 for treating a container of FIG. 2 , wherein again the treatment member 2 is shown in the form of the filling member 20, which is arranged above the container holder 6, so that a guided in the container holder 6 container can be treated by means of the treatment member 2.
  • the treatment member 2 is a filling member 20, so that a filling product can be filled in the guided in the container holder 6 container.
  • FIG. 3 the closure 3 is again shown in the cleaning position, but the membrane 32 is not yet loaded with the pressure medium, so that a fluid-tight closing of the Treatment opening 22 has not been completed.
  • the swivel device 4 is likewise shown schematically and essentially has the rotary shaft 40, on which the shutter 3 is held over the boom 42. By simply rotating the rotary shaft 40 such that a lifting or lowering movement does not take place, the shutter 3 moves from the production position to the cleaning position and back again.
