Abstract:
An apparatus (1) for the sterilization of plastics material containers (10), and in particular of plastics material pre-forms (10), with a conveying device (2) which conveys the plastics material containers (10) along a pre-set conveying path, with at least one stressing device (4) which acts upon an external surface of the plastics material containers to be sterilized with a flowable medium. According to the invention the stressing device is arranged in such a way that it acts upon a pre-set area of the plastics material containers (10)—situated below an aperture of the plastics material pre-forms—with the sterilization medium.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a device for handling plastic parisons with a storage device which serves for storing a plurality of plastic parisons and with at least one transport device which transports the plastic parisons along a predetermined transport path from the storage device to a processing device. At least one portion of the storage device and/or of the transport path is enclosed by a housing device and an application device is provided which applies a flowable and in particular gaseous medium to an interior of this housing device.
Abstract:
Apparatus for forming plastic preforms into plastic containers includes a transport device for transporting the plastic preforms, wherein the transport device has a movable carrier on which a plurality of forming stations are arranged, wherein the forming stations each form a cavity having forming moulds configured to receive plastic preforms which are formable into plastic containers within this cavity when acted upon by a flowable medium and expanded. The forming stations further includes an applicator which acts upon the plastic preforms with the flowable medium, and at least one connecting line configured to guide the flowable medium to the applicator. The apparatus also has a sterilization device, whereby at least a section of this connecting line can be at least temporarily pressurized with a sterilization medium.
Abstract:
A device for evaporating a fluid medium in a filling product filling plant includes an inclined evaporator surface, a medium supply line for applying the fluid medium that is to be evaporated to the evaporator surface, and grooves in the evaporator surface for conducting the fluid medium. The grooves along the evaporator surface have a non-linear design.
Abstract:
A device for filling a container with a sterilized filling product, preferably for filling a beverage container with a sterilized beverage in a beverage bottling installation, comprising a sterilization device for sterilizing the filling product, a sterile tank for buffered receiving of the filling product sterilized in the sterilization device, and a filling device which has a filling valve for the filling of the container to be filled, wherein the filling valve is a proportional valve for controlling and/or regulating the filling-product flow of the filling product into the container to be filled, and the proportional valve is connected in a buffer-free manner to the sterile tank.
Abstract:
A device for providing clean air in a beverage filling plant is described. The device includes an inflow channel with at least one filter for pretreating the air sucked in via a supply-air feed. The inflow channel is adjoined by a first outflow channel with at least one filter for treating the air pretreated in the inflow channel for feeding into a filling cleanroom of the beverage filling plant. The inflow channel is adjoined by a second outflow channel for treating the air pretreated in the inflow channel for feeding into a blowing cleanroom for the blow-molding of plastic containers. A dehumidifying device for dehumidifying the pretreated air is arranged in the second outflow channel.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for the sterilization of plastics material pre-forms, wherein the plastics material pre-forms are conveyed by a conveying device along a pre-determined conveying path and are sterilized at least for a time during this conveying by being acted upon with a flowable sterilization agent, wherein the plastics material pre-forms are conveyed at least for a time inside a housing. According to the method and apparatus, at least one portion of the housing is heated at least for a time and/or during the sterilization procedure by a heating source independent of the sterilization agent.
Abstract:
An apparatus is provided for molding plastic preforms into plastic containers, including a transport unit, on which a plurality of molding stations is provided and which moves the molding stations along a predefined transport path, wherein the molding stations respectively have blow mold parts that are movable relative to each other, the parts are movable relative to each other for opening and closing blow molds; and including a clean room that surrounds a transport path, along which the molding stations are transported, and which is separated from an environment by at least one wall; wherein the apparatus includes a cooling system for cooling at least one element of the respective molding stations; and wherein the apparatus includes a supply unit that supplies a gaseous medium to the clean room. The apparatus also includes a drying unit for drying the gaseous medium supplied to the clean room via the supply unit.
Abstract:
An apparatus for sterilising at least a segment of an inner wall and a segment of an outer wall of containers by accelerated charge carriers, includes at least one first external application device for sterilising at least a segment of an outer wall of containers and an internal application device for sterilising at least a segment of an inner wall of containers. The internal application device at least in portions is arranged to be introduced through an opening into the container in order to apply the emitted charge carriers to an inner wall of the container. The containers are transported along a transport path during their sterilisation, wherein along a segment of the transport path of the containers between the first external application device and the internal application device is arranged a pitch change device to change a distance between two containers succeeding each other along the transport path.
Abstract:
The disclosure relates to a system (1) for treating containers, preferably a beverage filling system, with a container treatment portion (50) which is configured to treat the containers, preferably to fill the containers with a filling product and/or to close the containers with a container closure, and in which condensate (K) accumulates during sterilization; a high-speed steam generator (10) with a steam boiler (15) which is configured to heat feed water, preferably by means of at least one electrical heating element (15a), and to vaporize it, wherein the high-speed steam generator (10) is configured to receive the condensate (K) accumulating in the container treatment portion (50) via a condensate line (11) and to introduce it into the steam boiler (15) as feed water to be vaporized during regular operation.
