Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a device for the combined production and filling of containers made of plastics material, in particular plastics material bottles, according to which method the respective container is produced by means of a thermal moulding process, is then transferred to a filling device and is cooled down during said transfer, and according to which the container is finally filled in the filling device with a product medium.
  • the bottles are sprayed from the outside with cooled water.
  • This is disadvantageous as it results in an increased water demand or the discharged water has to be prepared in an expensive manner if it is to be returned into the circuit.
  • the technical problem underlying the invention is to develop further a method and a device of the aforementioned embodiment such that the energy efficiency is increased and the costs when accomplishing the method are reduced.
  • the invention proposes with a generic method that, during its transfer (after the thermal moulding process), each container produced is cooled by the application of a spray mist.
  • the cooling is effected or carried out largely such that, directly afterwards, the cooled container in question is able to be filled in the filling device with the product medium.
  • Cooling the containers during their transfer by means of the spray mist according to the invention directly after their production achieves, according to the invention, that the containers are cooled immediately on entry into the filling device at least to an extent that they are able to be filled with practically any conceivable product medium, that is also with beverages containing CO 2 . I.e. the bottles or containers are in an immediate ready-for-use state as they enter the filling device.
  • the spray mist only impinges upon selected regions of the container.
  • the spray mist is distributed often and in the shortest time within the entire filling device and/or the transfer section.
  • any ingress into, for example, a bottle opening must be prevented in order to prevent the spray mist mixing with the next product medium to be filled.
  • the container is divided on its outside surface and according to an advantageous development in general into a spray-mist-free region and a spray-mist-charged region. Obviously, more spray-mist-free regions and spray-mist-charged regions can be realized on the outside surface of the container.
  • means are regularly provided for guiding and/or defining the spray mist.
  • Said means can be an atomizing device for liquid and a compressed gas unit within the framework of a spray mist machine.
  • the atomized liquid can be applied in a targeted stream, under pressure, onto the respective container.
  • an outlet tube with outlet nozzle may contribute to this purpose in a supplementary manner at the end of the spray mist machine, ultimately ensuring that the spray mist actually only precipitates on the desired spray-mist-charged region of the container, the spray-mist-free region of the container otherwise remaining unimpinged.
  • the means for guiding and/or defining the spray mist can also be a shut-off device, which seals off the spray mist machine from spray-mist-free regions of the container.
  • a shut-off device which seals off the spray mist machine from spray-mist-free regions of the container.
  • the shut-off device is actually responsible for this.
  • said shut-off device may seal off the spray mist machine in the form of a shut-off baffle or shut-off plate, the containers just being guided through a slot in the shut-off device.
  • the invention proposes a gas stream device.
  • Said gas stream device creates a preferably sterile gas stream or also air stream, which impinges upon the spray-mist-free regions of the container in order to hold the spray mist at bay.
  • a shut-off device is not necessarily required. Neither is it important whether the spray mist impinges upon the container in a directed or undirected manner.
  • For the gas stream leaving the gas stream device ensures that the spray-mist-free region of the container is impinged upon with said gas stream or is guided through a corresponding gas stream veil which means that spray mist cannot precipitate onto the container at this position.
  • the afore-described means can be combined together in an arbitrary manner.
  • the atomizing device including compressed gas unit, outlet tube and outlet nozzle of the spray mist machine can be combined with the described shut-off device and/or the gas stream device.
  • the shut-off device and the gas stream device at the same time or the gas stream device and the atomizing device including compressed air unit, output tube and outlet nozzle.
  • all three described measures can be combined in order to achieve a particularly efficient separation between each spray-mist-free and spray-mist-charged region of the container and in particular to ensure that no spray mist can pass into the interior of the container.
  • the spray mist is applied on the container at least in regions of large material thickness, for example in the bottom region.
  • the bottom region coincides as it were with the spray-mist-charged region of the container, whereas the mouth region and in the majority of cases also the outside region of the container represent the spray-mist-free region.
  • the invention takes account of the fact that the addressed regions of greater material thickness have to be cooled particularly, because through an accumulation of plastics material at this point and on account of its lesser heat conduction, temperature peaks would otherwise be observed in these regions and this would not allow a filling process to follow on directly.
  • the regions of greater material thickness are not just the bottom region.
  • the mouth region of the container or of the plastics material bottle, in particular, can also undergo the treatment.
  • the spray mist is made up by a gas and a liquid finely atomized in said gas.
  • the gas is air.
  • the liquid for example water, is finely atomized to form droplets.
  • the liquid present in the spray mist can be used in an advantageous manner for evaporative cooling of the container.
  • the compressed air necessary for this is availably anyway in the majority of cases so that expensive installation work is not necessary.
  • the finely atomized droplets of liquid on account of being transported with the compressed air, form a (thin) liquid film after they have been applied onto the container. Said liquid film evaporates because the container, as carrier, has a higher temperature. At the same time the container cools down.
  • temperatures for the produced containers made of plastics material are observed within the range of in excess of 70° C. Said temperatures can be up to 90° C. or even higher. If a thin liquid film of water is then applied onto such a container, the temperature of the container immediately ensures that the liquid film evaporates. As a result of this, the container cools down primarily in the regions in which the liquid film is present (evaporative cooling). On account of the temperature conditions it is also clear that water is particularly suitable in an advantageous manner as liquid for producing the finely atomized liquids in the spray mist. Obviously, other liquids are also conceivable and are included by the invention. This depends on the temperatures that each container produced from plastics material reaches after its thermal moulding process.
  • the container is impinged upon repeatedly with the spray mist during its transfer.
  • a particularly preferred variant provides in this conjunction that the spray mist is applied again as a function of a residual amount of liquid remaining on the container after the evaporative cooling.
  • the residual amount of liquid on the container can be determined for the greatest part in a contactless manner, for example by ultrasound, or in an optical or similar manner.
  • the achievement of the repeated impingement of the container with the spray mist during its transfer is that the previously specified temperatures of 70° C. or more are reduced directly after the thermal moulding process to values of 50° C. or less.
  • said clear temperature reduction which is achieved after a few seconds, it is possible to fill the containers cooled in this manner directly with the desired product medium as a rule within a time period of less than 10 seconds or less than 5 seconds.
  • the mentioned transfer times of less than 10 seconds and preferably even less than 5 seconds make it clear that the blow moulding machine and the filling machine can be assembled together or interlocked to form one structural unit.
  • the effectiveness of the treatment with the spray mist can be increased even more when the residual amount of liquid remaining on the container is initially determined before the (next) application of a spray mist.
  • Said residual amount of liquid can be estimated via its layer thickness connected to a liquid film.
  • the layer thickness on the container can be determined in a contactless manner, for example by ultrasound or also in an optical manner.
  • a mandatory control unit ensures that the container is impinged upon again with the spray mist as a function of said residual amount of liquid.
  • the spray nozzles or spray mist machines and the aforementioned measuring devices can alternate along the transfer section, for example they can be arranged alternating with one another.
  • the spray nozzle as a component part of the spray mist machine is situated on the outlet side of the atomizing device for the liquid.
  • the atomizing device generally speaking, is combined with the compressed gas unit, which applies the atomized liquid in a targeted stream under pressure onto the respective container.
  • the spray mist leaves the spray nozzle on the outlet side of the atomizing device, or of an outlet nozzle at the end of an outlet tube.
  • the atomizing device can be opened and closed by the aforementioned control unit.
  • the spray nozzle or outlet nozzle in this case, advantageously sets the region of the container that is wetted with the spray mist, that is to say the spray-mist-charged region. As a rule, this refers—as already mentioned—to the regions of the container that have a particularly large material thickness, for example the bottom region.
  • the invention has recognized that the containers can be cooled down with a spray mist during their transfer from the blow moulding machine to the filling device or filling machine. This means that water consumption is reduced to a minimum, which leads to significant energy savings compared to previous methods of operation. In addition, there are practically no problems, where applicable, with unfiltered water.
  • FIG. 1 shows a general view of the device according to the invention
  • FIG. 2 shows a top view of the transfer section in detail
  • FIG. 3 shows a modified embodiment
  • FIG. 4 shows a variant of the invention modified again.
  • FIG. 1 shows a device for the combined production and filling of plastics material containers 1 , in this case plastics material bottles 1 .
  • This is a combination machine by way of which the bottles or containers 1 in question are produced in a thermal moulding process in a blow moulding machine 2 and are then filled in a filling machine 3 with a product medium, in the present case, but not in a restrictive manner, with a carbonated beverage.
  • a transfer section 4 which is also associated with the basic design, is connected between the blow moulding machine 2 and the filling device or filling machine 3 .
  • the transfer section 4 is provided with a cooling device 5 in order to cool down the plastics material bottles 1 originating directly from the blow moulding machine 2 before they reach the filling machine 3 .
  • the cooling device 5 is realized as a spray mist machine.
  • said spray mist machine comprises a spray nozzle 5 a at the front, an atomizing device 5 b and a compressed gas unit 5 c .
  • the compressed gas unit 5 c the liquid atomized by the atomizing device 5 b is directed in a targeted stream via the spray nozzle 5 a onto each container or plastics material bottle 1 to be treated.
  • the design in FIG. 2 is selected such that the spray mist machine 5 or its spray nozzle 5 a impinges upon the container or the plastics material bottle 1 at the bottom or wall such that a liquid film 6 precipitates at this location on the container or the plastics material bottle 1 .
  • the container 1 or the plastics material bottle 1 may be rotated when passing over the transfer section 4 but this is not compulsory.
  • the containers or the plastic material bottles 1 are conveyed in a suspended manner by means of a neck guide through the transfer section 4 and are free in the bottom region.
  • the liquid film 6 can be applied from below in a targeted manner advantageously onto the centre of the bottle bottom. This is because, according to experience, the largest accumulation of the material for the production of the plastics material bottle 1 occurs at this location. This is naturally only to be understood as an example and is no way restrictive.
  • the container or the plastics material bottle 1 is cooled down through the application of a spray mist 8 .
  • a spray mist 8 By the spray mist 8 being applied on the container 1 at least in regions of great material thickness, for example in the bottom region, temperature peaks in these regions are avoided.
  • the invention recommends water.
  • the gas in the compressed gas unit 5 c is air.
  • the container or the plastics material bottle 1 is impinged upon repeatedly with the spray mist 8 during its path along the transfer section 4 .
  • the impingement of the container 1 is effected as a function of a residual amount of liquid remaining after the previous evaporative cooling.
  • the container 1 is initially impinged upon by means of the first spray mist machine 5 .
  • the container 1 continues on its path indicated in FIG. 2 by an arrow along the transfer section 4 and encounters a measuring device 7 .
  • the thickness or layer thickness of the liquid film 6 on the container 1 can be determined by way of said measuring device 7 .
  • the respective spray mist machines 5 , 5 ′ and the measuring device 7 are located alternately along the transfer section 4 .
  • both the spray mist machine 5 , 5 ′ and the measuring device 7 are located in the transfer section 4 or along the transfer section 4 .
  • the liquid film 6 or its layer thickness is determined twice by means of the measuring device 7 at oppositely situated positions, this being in no way compulsory but carried out for reasons of precision.
  • FIG. 1 shows detail of the blow moulding machine 2 which, as usual, moulds the bottle or the container 1 from a preform, also called a premould.
  • a preform also called a premould.
  • the mouth or closure region of the preform already has the final shape.
  • a method is also known where the container 1 is moulded from a tube of hot mouldable plastics material. This then occurs in such a manner that the tube in question is produced or extruded perpendicularly downward into an associated tool.
  • the preform is heated, held in a cavity and surrounded by said cavity.
  • the compressed air for the described blow moulding operation can also be utilized for the impingement of the compressed gas unit 5 c , therefore being supplied to an additional use.
  • the plastics material bottle 1 or the container 1 once it has left the blow moulding machine 2 , still has a temperature that as a rule is in excess of 70° C. or more.
  • the plastics material bottle 1 is cooled, preferably in the region of its greatest material thickness, as a rule in the bottom region, along the transfer section 4 . This is achieved by the application of the spray mist 8 by way of the spray mist machine 5 or the several spray mist machines 5 , 5 ′ along the transfer section 4 .
  • temperatures of the plastics material bottle 1 at the outlet of the transfer section 4 are, as a rule, less than 50°.
  • the treatment time or cooling time of the plastics material bottle 1 in the majority of cases is not even 5 seconds.
  • the transfer section 4 is consequently an integral component part of said combination machine made up by the blow moulding machine 2 and the filling machine 3 .
  • the spray nozzle or outlet nozzle 5 a for the spray mist is situated at the end of an outlet tube 9 of the spray mist machine 5 or 5 ′.
  • the outlet tube 9 or the spray nozzle or outlet nozzle 5 a is directed onto the bottom region of the plastics material bottle 1 .
  • the plastics material bottle 1 in this case, is conveyed in the transport section in a rotating manner by means of a carousel which is simply indicated.
  • the spray mist machine 5 or 5 ′ may once again have the atomizing device 5 b for liquid, in particular water, and the compressed gas unit 5 c , which are not represented explicitly within the framework of FIG.
  • the atomizing device 5 b , the compressed gas unit 5 c , the outlet tube 9 and finally the spray nozzle or outlet nozzle 5 a are altogether means 5 a , 5 b , 5 c , 9 , which are used for guiding the spray mist leaving the spray nozzle 5 a.
  • shut-off device 10 or shut-off plate
  • the spray mist machine 5 , 5 ′ is sealed off primarily from a mouth 1 a of the container or of the plastics material bottle 1 .
  • these means 5 a , 5 b , 5 c , 9 : 10 together ensure that a spray-mist region 11 a and a spray-mist-charged region 11 b are defined on the outside surface of the container or of the plastics material bottle 1 .
  • the shut-off device 10 seals off the spray mist machine 5 , 5 ′ from the spray-mist-free region 11 a of the container 1 .
  • the shut-off device 10 has a gap or slot 12 , which is adapted to the outside dimensions of the container or plastics material bottle 1 .
  • the plastics material bottles 1 are guided along the transfer section 4 through said gap or slot 12 , in the case in example of the carousel they are guided in a circular manner. This ensures that the spray mist 8 leaving the spray nozzle 5 a is kept away from the spray-mist-free region 11 a of the plastics material bottle 1 and in particular from the bottle mouth which means that spray mist 8 cannot pass into the interior of the plastics material bottle 1 .
  • the height H of the shut-off device 10 can be modified, as is indicated by the double arrow in FIG. 3 .
  • an additional means 13 is also provided in the form of a gas stream device 13 in order to obtain a guiding and/or defining of the spray mist 8 .
  • a gas stream indicated by arrows emerges from the gas stream device 13 in a directed manner. Said gas stream is directed onto the spray-mist-free region 11 a of the container or of the plastics material bottle 1 , in the present case forming a gas stream veil which impinges primarily upon the bottle opening 1 a .
  • the gas stream is also directed onto the slot or gap 12 and may be sucked off along the slot or gap 12 , a suction device 14 (simply indicated) ensuring this.
  • this is not urgently necessary.
  • the achievement of the gas stream device 13 or of the gas stream leaving said device is that the plastics material bottle 1 is impinged upon in the spray-mist-free region 11 a with a gas stream veil, which prevents spray mist 8 from precipitating on the plastics material bottle 1 in this region.
  • the gas stream may be a sterile air stream that prevents bacteria passing into the bottle interior via the bottle mouth 1 a .
  • the air used for the gas stream or the gas is obviously dried in order to prevent liquid precipitation on the plastics material bottle 1 in the spray-mist-free region 11 a .
