Definitions

  • the invention relates to a filling machine for filling pourable food products into package sleeves or packages, comprising: a transport device for conveying package sleeves or packages along a transport direction, a filling station with filling nozzles for filling pourable food products into package sleeves or packages, and a cleaning device for cleaning the filling machine, in particular for cleaning the filling station and its filling nozzles, wherein the cleaning devices comprises: a rotatable pipe for conveying a cleaning medium, a drive unit for rotating the pipe, and spraying nozzles for spraying the cleaning medium.
  • the invention also relates to a method for cleaning a filling machine for filling pourable food products into package sleeves or packages, comprising the following steps: a) providing a filling machine with a cleaning devices that comprises: a rotatable pipe for conveying a cleaning medium, a drive unit for rotating the pipe, and spraying nozzles for spraying the cleaning medium, b) rotating the pipe from a parking position into a cleaning position, c) cleaning the filling machine by spraying a cleaning medium through the spraying nozzles, and d) rotating the pipe back from a cleaning position into a parking position.
  • Packages can be manufactured in different ways and from an extremely wide range of materials.
  • a widely used possibility for their manufacture consists of manufacturing a blank from a sheet-like composite material by cutting from which, through folding and further steps, first a package sleeve and finally a package is created.
  • This type of manufacture has the advantage, among others, that the sheet-like composite material and package sleeves are very flat and can thus be stacked, saving space. In this way, the composite material and the package sleeves can be manufactured in a different location than the folding and filling of the package.
  • Composite materials are frequently used as material; for example, a flat sheet-like composite consisting of a plurality of thin layers of paper, cardboard, plastic and/or metal, in particular aluminium.
  • Such packages are widely used in the foodstuffs industry in particular.
  • the packages are filled with contents in a filling machine.
  • the packages can be filled with beverages such as milk or juice or with pourable food such as soups, sauces.
  • the packages are usually conveyed by a transport device (such as a conveyor belt or a cell chain) below a filling device with filling nozzles so that the nozzles can fill the contents into the packages.
  • the packages are usually conveyed and filled intermittently (e.g.
  • AC/AC 231273WO 06 December 2024 EP 2421622 B1 discloses a filling machine with a cleaning device.
  • the cleaning device comprises long spray pipes (for a cleaning medium) which are arranged coaxially inside long gas pipes (for sterile air).
  • the spray pipes and the gas pipes are located above the packages and extend along their transport direction.
  • the spray pipes and the gas pipes can be rotated around their longitudinal axes independently.
  • the inner spray pipes have spraying nozzles and the outer gas pipes have several openings.
  • the cleaning medium can clean the inside of the gas pipes; in this case the spraying nozzles should not be aligned with the openings in the gas pipes.
  • the cleaning medium can also clean other parts of the filling machine; in this case the spraying nozzles should be aligned with the openings in the gas pipes and both pipes must rotate synchronously so that the cleaning medium can exit the gas pipe.
  • the cleaning device known from EP 2421622 B1 may be suitable for cleaning some parts of the filling machine, in particular the gas pipe, it can hardly clean the filling nozzles of the filling machine because the long pipes are located above the packages and above the filling nozzles in order to avoid a collision between the packages and the cleaning device.
  • the rotary motion of the nozzles is usually caused by re-directing the water that passes through the nozzle (“self-driven AC/AC 231273WO 06 December 2024 nozzle”). While using the water for creating the rotary movement of the nozzle may be a simple and reliable drive concept, it reduces the water pressure and therefore slows down the water jet quite significantly. As a result, rotating water jets can cover a larger cleaning area but have a significantly reduced cleaning impact, if they are created by a “self-driven” nozzle. Moreover, as a result of the more complex geometry of “self-driven” rotating nozzles, these nozzles are harder to clean compared to regular nozzles.
  • the object underlying the invention is to design and further develop the filling machine and the method described at the outset and explained in more detail above in such manner that a quick and thorough cleaning can be achieved in a reliable and cost-efficient manner.
  • This object is achieved in the case of a filling machine according to the preamble of claim 1 in that the drive unit is configured to rotate in small angular steps.
  • the invention relates to a filling machine for filling pourable food products into package sleeves or packages.
  • Pourable food products can be beverages such as milk or juice or foods such as soups or sauces.
  • the filling machine can fill products into package sleeves (bottom closed, top open) or even into packages (through the open pouring spout).
  • the package sleeves and packages are preferably made from a composite material, for example, a flat sheet-like composite material consisting of a plurality of thin layers of paper, cardboard, plastic and/or metal, in particular aluminium.
  • the filling machine comprises a transport device for conveying package sleeves or packages along a transport direction.
  • the transport device can comprise one or more conveyor belts and/or one or more cell chains or other suitable means for transporting package sleeves or packages.
  • the transport device can have a holding element such as a frame or a cell for each package sleeve or package.
  • the filling machine also comprises a filling station with filling nozzles for filling pourable food products into package sleeves or packages.
  • the filling nozzles make sure that the products can be filled quickly and without splashing into the AC/AC 231273WO 06 December 2024 package sleeves or packages; moreover, the filling nozzles are able to hold the product back without dripping when the package sleeves or packages are transported.
  • the filling machine also comprises a cleaning device for cleaning the filling machine, in particular for cleaning the filling station and its filling nozzles.
  • the cleaning device comprises: rotatable pipe for conveying a cleaning medium, a drive unit for rotating the pipe, and spraying nozzles for spraying the cleaning medium.
  • the cleaning device can convey a cleaning medium from a supply unit through the rotating pipe to the spraying nozzles.
  • the pipe can be rotated by a drive unit and, as a result, the spaying nozzles also rotate.
  • the spraying nozzles are therefore moved/rotated by a separate external drive unit.
  • the drive unit is configured to rotate in small angular steps. In other words, the drive unit must be able to rotate stepwise or incrementally.
  • the drive unit according to the invention is able to divide a full rotation into a number of equal steps (such as 15°-steps).
  • the drive unit is not only configured to rotate in small angular steps but also configured to hold its position in these steps without any break or mechanical stop.
  • the drive unit is an electrical stepper motor.
  • a stepper motor (also known as step motor or stepping motor) is an electrical motor which can rotate in a series of small angular steps, instead of continuously.
  • the position of the motor can be commanded to move and hold at one of these steps without any additional devices (such as position sensors, brakes, mechanical stops, etc.).
  • a stepper motor can therefore be regarded as a type of motion-control positioning system which – in this case – can control the position of the rotating pipe and its spraying nozzles.
  • the stepper motor shall be sized to the application in respect to torque and speed.
  • a stepper motor does not only have a “running torque” (when it is driven) but also a “holding torque” (amount of torque needed in order to move the motor one step when the windings are energized but the rotor is stationary).
  • a stepper motor according to the invention shall have a holding torque that is high enough to hold/withstand the thrust of the water jets that are sprayed out of the spraying nozzles so that the pipe does not rotate during the cleaning process.
  • the “holding torque” should be at least 15 Nm, preferably at least 20 Nm.
  • the drive unit is an electrical servo motor.
  • a servo motor is a rotary actuator that can precisely control its angular position, velocity and acceleration.
  • a servomotor is a closed-loop servomechanism that uses position feedback to control its motion and final position.
  • the input to its control is a signal (either analog or digital) representing the position commanded for the output shaft.
  • a servo motor has no “built-in” steps but can control its angular position anywhere and therefore define its own steps.
  • a servo motor can therefore rotate in small angular steps that can be defined and changed as desired.
  • the rotatable pipe extends across the transport device transversely to the transport direction.
  • a lateral extension of the pipe has (in compared to a longitudinal extension along the transport direction) the advantage that the cleaning device can reach the filling nozzles of all rows of package sleeves even if there are several rows (e.g. six rows). This has the advantage that the whole cleaning device can share one single drive unit and one single supply unit.
  • AC/AC 231273WO 06 December 2024 According to an embodiment of the filling machine, the spraying nozzles are located on the rotatable pipe. Placing some or all of the spraying nozzles directly on the rotatable pipe has proven to be a compact, easy and reliable way of designing a cleaning device. Another advantage of this location of the spraying nozzles is that the cleaning medium has a short and direct path from the supply unit to the spraying nozzles.
  • the spraying nozzles that are placed on the rotatable pipe can be stationary nozzles or (self-driven) rotating nozzles.
  • Self-driven rotating nozzles have certain disadvantages such as a reduced cleaning impact.
  • nozzles which re-direct (and therefore weaken) the water jet to a lesser extent (but still rotate 360°) can be used because the pipe already rotates.
  • the rotatable pipe has at least one arm for conveying the cleaning medium.
  • One or more hollow arms can act as pipes and convey the cleaning medium from a supply unit through the rotating pipe into the arms.
  • the arms can convey the cleaning medium in a radial direction and bring the cleaning medium to hardly accessible areas (e.g. below the filling nozzles).
  • the arm can be moved from a parking position, in which the arm is located completely above a horizontal plane which is defined by the upper ends of the package sleeves, into one or more cleaning positions, in which the arm is at least partly located below this plane.
  • stationary cleaning devices with no movable parts must be located so that they keep a distance to the package sleeves or packages at all times, the movable arms make it possible to even reach into the area of the transport route of the package sleeves or packages as the package sleeves or packages are removed from the filling machine during cleaning.
  • the arm is inclined about at least 45°, preferably about at least 60° or about at least 90°.
  • the inclination of the arms results in a curved shape of the arms which makes it possible to convey the cleaning medium which flows through the arms along a correspondingly curved path.
  • High inclination angles in combination with the moveability of the arms makes it possible to create a water jet that is directed upwards. This makes it possible to move some of the spraying nozzles of the cleaning device below the filling nozzles and spray the cleaning medium upwards into the filling nozzles for a very effective cleaning.
  • At least one spraying nozzle is located on the arm, in particular on the end of the arm. Placing some or all of the spraying nozzles directly on the arms improves the movability of the nozzles and therefore increases the area that can be reached by the cleaning medium.
  • the cleaning medium can be easily conveyed to the spraying nozzles if a hollow (pipe-like) arms are used.
  • the spraying nozzles that are placed on the arms can be stationary nozzles or (self-driven) rotating nozzles. Self-driven rotating nozzles have certain disadvantages such as a reduced cleaning impact.
  • the rotatable pipe can be rotated within an angular range of at least 90°, preferably at least 120°.
  • a large angular range of the rotary motion of the pipe makes it possible that the cleaning medium can cover a larger area. This applies to both locations of spraying nozzles, to spraying nozzles that are located directly on the rotating pipe and even more to spraying nozzles that are located on the arms.
  • the spraying nozzles are rotatable spraying nozzles, in particular self-driven rotatable spraying nozzles.
  • Rotatable nozzles can have an external drive (e.g. electrical, pneumatic or hydraulic).
  • An external drive has the advantage that the water jet is not weakened but is much more complex and less robust.
  • Rotatable nozzles can also be self-driven which means that the rotary motion of the nozzles is caused by re-directing the water that passes through the nozzle (“self-driven nozzle”). If a self-driven rotating nozzle is used, a nozzle can be used which re-directs (and therefore weakens) the water jet to a lesser extent (but still rotate 360°) because the pipe already rotates.
  • the spraying nozzles are non- rotatable spraying nozzles, in particular flat fan spraying nozzles, full cone spraying nozzles and/or hollow cone spraying nozzles.
  • Non-rotatable (stationary) nozzles have the advantage that can create a very high impact because no energy is necessary to rotate the nozzle.
  • non-rotatable nozzles are their simple and robust design, often without moving parts.
  • the nozzles can create water jets with different shapes.
  • a full cone spraying nozzle creates a water jet which is shaped like a full cone which has the advantage that a large area is covered by the water jet.
  • the impact of the water jet can be increased if the impact area is reduced.
  • This can be achieved by nozzles that concentrate the water jet on certain areas.
  • flat fan spraying nozzles can concentrate the water jet so that it has a thin. linear shape.
  • hollow cone spraying nozzles can concentrate the water jet so that it has the shape of a thin, circular line.
  • a method for cleaning filling machine for filling pourable food products into package sleeves or packages comprising the following steps: providing a filling machine with a cleaning devices that comprises: a rotatable pipe for conveying a cleaning medium, a drive unit for rotating the pipe, and spraying nozzles for spraying the cleaning medium, rotating the pipe from a parking position into a cleaning position, cleaning the filling machine by spraying a cleaning AC/AC 231273WO 06 December 2024 medium through the spraying nozzles, and rotating the pipe back from a cleaning position into a parking position, wherein in step b) and/or in step d), the pipe is rotated in at least one small angular step.
  • a filling machine according to one of claim 1 to 12 is provided.
  • a filling machine in accordance with one or more of claims 1 to 12 has the above-mentioned properties and advantages.
  • the rotatable pipe has at least one arm for conveying the cleaning medium, and that the arm is moved from a parking position, in which the arm is located completely above a horizontal plane which is defined by the upper ends of the package sleeves, into one or more cleaning positions, in which the arm is at least partly located below this plane.
  • the arms can be hollow and act as pipes and convey the cleaning medium from a supply unit through the rotating pipe into the arms.
  • the rotatable pipe is rotated over an angular range of at least 90°, preferably at least 120° in step b) and/or step d). A large angular range of the rotary motion of the pipe makes it possible that the cleaning medium can cover a larger area.
  • step c) the pipe is rotated in at least one small angular step. This means that the pipe (and possibly its arms) can not only be rotated before cleaning (e.g. step b) and after cleaning (e.g.
  • step d) in order to move between a parking position and a cleaning position.
  • the pipe and possibly its arms
  • the rotatable pipe can, for example, be rotated back and forth over an angular range 5° to 15° during step c).
