Abstract:
The bottling plant (100) comprising a bottle filling unit (119) arranged for filling bottles with a liquid or fluent product, a product inlet (400) for connecting a product supply for supplying the liquid or fluent product to the bottling plant, a product circuit (410) comprising at least one conduit fluidly connecting the product inlet to at least one product outlet nozzle (409) in the filling unit at which the product is filled into the bottles, and an arrangement for removing residual product from the product circuit after a period of operation of the bottling plant. The arrangement comprises at least one valve (411-414) with a connector for connecting a pressurized air conduit, via which teh product circuit i connectable to a pressurized air supply (415) for forcing the residual product from the product circuit by means of pressurized air.
Abstract:
Transportable bottling plant fitted into freight container Disclosed is a transportable bottling plant (100) comprising a freight container divided into separate rooms (107-110), one of the rooms being a bottling room (107); a preform feeder (118), a bottle forming unit (300), a bottle filling and closing unit (119) being mounted in the bottling room; whereby the container comprises at least three technical rooms, the power generator (111) being mounted in a first technical room (108), the air conditioning unit (115) being mounted in a second technical room (109) and the air compressor (113) being mounted in a third technical room (110).
Abstract:
Bottle forming unit (300) comprising a furnace (204) for heating preforms, a moulder (306) for moulding the heated preforms into bottles, and a transporter (302) for moving the bottles and/or the preforms. The transporter (302) comprises a plurality of movable preform/bottle carriers (308) in a loop. The loop has at least four corners. The transporter (302) comprises at least four advancers (314), arranged for moving a carrier (308) positioned at a corner away from that corner. At least two carrier positions at diagonally opposed corners of the loop are vacant and a controller (318) controls the advancers for simultaneously moving carriers (308) positioned at the diagonally opposed corners of the loop.
Abstract:
Bottling plant (100) comprising a bottling room (107) enclosing a bottle forming unit (300) comprising a furnace (204) for heating preforms in a heating compartment (205), a moulder (306) for moulding the heated preforms into bottles and transporting means (302) for transporting the preforms through the heating compartment (205) and into the moulder. The furnace (204) comprises a hot air exhaust conduit (207) with induced draft fan (208), leading from the furnace towards the outside of the bottling room. The furnace comprises a fresh air inlet conduit (206) for supplying fresh air from the outside of the bottling room (107) to the heating compartment (205).
Abstract:
Verfahren und Vorrichtung, die die Adhäsionsenergie von frisch hergestellten Formkörperoberflächen polarer Polymerer, insbesondere von PET-Flaschen oder PET-Folien, soweit verringert, dass beim Herstellungs- und Weiterverarbeitungsprozess, speziell beim Transport der leeren, frisch hergestellten PET-Flaschen zur Abfüllanlage oder von Folien beim Aufeinanderwickeln zu Rollen, ein Aneinanderhaften der Flaschen oder Folien vermieden wird. Dies erfolgt dadurch, dass die Oberfläche unmittelbar nach Herstellung des Polymerformkörpers mit dem UV-Licht eines Lasers mit einer solchen Wellenlänge und Laserenergie, über eine Umlenkoptik auf die Gesamtoberfläche gelenkt, bestrahlt wird, so dass eine Aufrauhung der PET-Flaschenoberfläche mit niedrigster rel. Reibungskraft erzeugt und die Adhäsionsenergie zwischen den Oberflächen der Polymerformkörper herabsetzt wird.
