摘要:
An apparatus and process for processing outer surfaces of glass containers (50) for use in pharmaceutical, medical or cosmetic applications, said glass containers (50) having a cylindrical main body (52). The process comprises: providing (S1) a plurality of containers (50); separating individual containers from said plurality of containers (50); and sequentially conveying said individual containers (50) through a processing station (1; 61). In the processing station (1; 61), the individual containers (50) are rotated about a longitudinal axis thereof while outer surfaces of the cylindrical main bodies (52) are in contact with a scrubbing member (27; 30, 35), for reducing an adhesive surface behavior of the outer surfaces of the cylindrical main bodies (52) of the individual containers. In this manner the surface properties of glass containers may be enhanced significantly with a cost-efficient and simple processing to thereby prevent undesired ‘stickiness behavior’ of the glass containers.

Internal cleaning of inverted cans includes engaging a can's cylindrical wall with a wall-conforming vacuum or adhesive gripper, causing a spraying unit to travel axially in and out of the can's opening while the can is inverted on a circular conveyor, and using a supporting arm or bottom stop to subject the can to a counterforce against a flushing force from sprayed cleaning medium. This prevents the can from being pressed out of a receptacle in which it sits during cleaning.

A vertical closed loop link chain vacuum conveyor is provided. A conveying frame extends along a lane-like longitudinal conveying path. The frame has a vertical and longitudinally offset closed loop section. The closed loop section has a change in elevation including a decline and an incline, change in direction, and a central vacuum plenum. A multi-flex link chain is in guided support and travel in the conveying frame while running in trained contact about a link chain drive assembly. The multi-flex link chain is in evacuated communication with a suction generator is in ducted communication with the vacuum plenum.

The invention relates to a device (1) for gripping and holding PET bottles in filling systems or the like, having a carrier body (3) that can be mounted on a star-shaped element (2) or the like, and spring-loaded gripper arms (7) that can pivot on said carrier body. The aim of the invention is to allow simple, rapid, and low-cost replacement of the gripper arms. To achieve this, a fixing element (11) is positioned between the bearing ends (13) of the gripper arm (7), wherein the bearing ends (13) of the gripper arms comprise an edge recess (14) allowing removal of the gripper arm (7) past the fixing element (11) when a gripper arm (7) is positioned in the extreme opening position.
摘要:
A cleaning assembly for containers, particularly for bottles, having a conveying device on which the containers are arranged by means of a receptacle means. To economically and ecologically improve the cleaning assembly, the receptacle means contains a liquid-tight tubular for an individual cleaning of the containers.

As stated in 37 C.F.R. §1.72(b): A brief abstract of the technical disclosure in the specification must commence on a separate sheet, preferably following the claims, under the heading “Abstract of the Disclosure.” The purpose of the abstract is to enable the Patent and Trademark Office and the public generally to determine quickly from a cursory inspection the nature and gist of the technical disclosure. The abstract shall not be used for interpreting the scope of the claims. Therefore, any statements made relating to the abstract are not intended to limit the claims in any manner and should not be interpreted as limiting the claims in any manner.
摘要:
Disclosed is an apparatus for cleaning bottles made of synthetic resin so as to remove dust or impurities attached to the insides of the bottles by static electricity, in which air in an ionized state is changed into air in a neutral state and the neutr(lized air is injected into the bottles. Conventionally, a mechanism for cleaning the insides of bottles using compressed air has been mainly used. However, in this conventional system, since the compressed air in an ionized state such as cation and anion is supplied into the bottles, dust or impurities attached to the insides of bottles by static elasticity generated therein is electrically charged. Therefore, it is difficult to remove the electrically charged dust or impurities from the insides of bottles. Even though the dust or impurities are eliminated from the bottles by force, the eliminated dust or impurities blow away from the bottles and then are again blown into the bottles by an air flow or pressure difference generated by the flow of the compressed air injected into the bottles, thereby contaminating the bottles and degrading a cleaning effect of the apparatus. In the apparatus for cleaning bottles, air going through filtration and neutralization steps is supplied to clean the insides of bottles, impurities eliminated from the bottles after a cleaning step are separately collected to a collector so as to prevent them from being blown into the bottles, and the positions of the bottles are successively changed several times so as to effectively clean the bottles.

A drier 8 is disposed within a sterile chamber 14. If a vessel 10 stays within the drier for a prolonged length of time, it will be deformed under heat, and accordingly, it is taken out by a reject wheel 28 and dropped onto a discharge chute 30 which is disposed below it. A downstream portion of the discharge chute is surrounded by a second sterile chamber 36 which is separate from the first mentioned sterile chamber, and a glove 38 mounted on the wall of the chamber 36 allows an access to the discharge chute while maintaining the chute in a sterile condition. A door 40 which can be opened and closed is mounted on the wall 36a of the second chamber, and the rejected vessel is discharged through the door which is then opened. Chambers 14 and 36 are disposed within a processing chamber 4. The pressure within the first chamber 14 is controlled to be higher than the pressure (atmospheric pressure) within the processing chamber 4 while the pressure within the second chamber 36 is controlled to be lower than the atmospheric pressure. As a consequence, a vessel which is rejected by the rejected wheel can be taken out without destroying an internal ambience of the sterile chamber which surrounds the reject wheel.
摘要:
Open containers having uniform dimensions are handled in a group for loading of ballast and/or for filling with container contents prior to sealing. The containers are provided upright on a substantially unobstructed surface and are forced into a substantially contiguous array by inward pressure on the array in at least one direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axes of the containers. Compressing the array of containers in this manner moves the containers into immediately contiguous regular positions in a resulting container array, which is aligned in registry with dispensing orifices. One or more movable sweep arms which may cooperate with fixed walls laterally bounding the conveying surface are used to compress the array. The sweep arms and the fixed walls are scalloped to form receptacles defining a closest possible positioning of the peripheral containers, which during compression cause adjacent inward containers to become correctly positioned. Nozzles coupled to a material dispenser (e.g., for ballast water when running lightweight PET containers) are aligned to the resulting array and are opened momentarily or selectively to discharge into the containers.

The invention relates to a washing apparatus, especially to an apparatus for rinsing of glass bottles before first filling.The bottles to be rinsed are fed to the apparatus by means of a conveyor installation. The incoming bottles are picked up by a receiving means including a conveyor, the runway of which extending in a vertical plane. The bottles are transferred to a transportation device whereby the bottles are pivoted about 180 degrees. The transportation device includes a conveyor advancing said bottles to a rinsing station having a rinsing device and to a draining station. A removing device pick-up the clean bottles from the transportation device and transfers the bottles to a further conveying installation for discharging the bottles from the apparatus. During transferring the bottles are pivoted about 180 degrees such that upright bottles ready for filling are outputted from the apparatus.By such an arrangement of the receiving means, the removing means and the transportation device, the system may have smallest overall dimensions.
