There is provided a filling-and-sealing device and a filling-and-sealing method capable of reducing an amount of use of a replacement gas used for replacing air in a container. The filling-and-sealing device includes a filling machine that fills a container with a content fluid; a sealing machine that seals the container transferred from the filling machine with a lid; a chamber that covers the filling machine and the sealing machine; a gassing system that replaces, in the chamber, a gas in the container with a carbon dioxide gas by introducing the carbon dioxide gas as a second replacement gas supplied from a tank; and a pre-gassing system that replaces the gas in the container with a first replacement gas that remains in the chamber containing the carbon dioxide gas before processing by the gassing system.

A filling method includes adjusting a start of a filling phase on a filling machine so that the container completes filling within a detection region at which an optical sensor is able to inspect the container to determine the actual fill-level and to send a signal to a controller to cause the container to be topped off if need be.

This disclosure provides a method for filling printing ink in an electrowetting display substrate and a method for producing the electrowetting display panel. The electrowetting display substrate comprises a first substrate. The first substrate has pixel grids formed by pixel walls. The method for filling printing ink in an electrowetting display substrate comprises steps of: filling a mixture of an oil-containing printing ink and a solvent into the pixel grids, wherein the solvent has a boiling temperature lower than that of the oil, and the printing ink is soluble in the solvent; and vaporizing the solvent at a temperature that is lower than the boiling temperature of the oil and higher than or equal to the boiling temperature of the solvent. The method may adjust the filling height of the printing ink effectively, and allow the filling heights of the printing ink in all pixel grids to be substantially the same, so as to enhance the display effect of the electrowetting display panel.

A device for filling a container with a filling product (e.g., in a beverage filling system), includes: a product tank for providing the filling product, wherein a head space with a gas atmosphere is located above the filling product in the product tank; at least one filling member with a filling valve which is fluidically connected to the product tank for introducing the filling product from the product tank into the container to be filled and a gas channel for treating the container to be filled with a gas and/or for discharging gas from the container; a measuring apparatus for analyzing the gas atmosphere in the head space; and a control apparatus which is communicatively coupled to the measuring apparatus and which is designed to determine a process performance, (e.g., a quality of the filled filling product), from the analysis of the gas atmosphere in the head space.

The present disclosure is directed to a non-traceable vent tube and a traceable vent tube cap apparatus, system and methods incorporating a traceable material such as a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag or a magnet for use in conjunction with a filling machine during container filling operations for a quicker and more accurate detection of the location of the non-traceable vent tube or the traceable vent tube cap after becoming detached from a filling machine during filling operations, and to increase the safety of the filling operation and reduce costs and time when a malfunction occurs.

Disclosed to a method for operating a system for treating a plurality of containers, with the steps: providing at least one container which has an ID, by which the container can be uniquely identified, wherein an identifier can be assigned to the ID, which identifier is stored in a memory device which is connected or can be connected to the system at least temporarily via a public network in order to communicate data; treating the container with a treatment apparatus of the system, collecting at least one data value with respect to the container and/or with respect to at least one treatment step of the container; and providing the at least one data value for transmission and/or storage in the memory device.

An automated machine is provided for mixing and dispensing liquid detergents remotely controlled by a control software connected to a server which updates product databases, which is executed, together with other software for dispensing and delivering liquid content and surfactant detergent with anionic and cationic tensio-active chemical compounds as the basis of its selected formulation of Genapol, sodium phenyl sulfonate and the sodium lauryl sulfonate with preservatives such as formaldehyde and bactericides such as glutaraldehyde in a mixture of concentrated detergent with water in a proportion between 30% and 40%; where said machine is manipulated with a touch screen that drives two types of injectors that send product, to make the liquid mixture, to a static mixer or to a dynamic mixer and said machine conducts said mixed liquid to a tank of finished product to be dispensed by a filling spout placed on the front of a container-shaped casing.

A deodorizing method includes a first rinsing step of supplying first rinse water for a first circulation system to a first circulation system (25a) including at least a heat sterilizer (3) that heats a drink, a chemical circulation step of supplying and circulating a chemical for a first circulation system in the first circulation system (25a), and a second rinsing step of supplying second rinse water for a first circulation system to the first circulation system (25a). At the chemical circulation step, the chemical for a first circulation system is heated to a temperature of 70 C. or higher and 150 C. or lower in the first circulation system (25a).

An apparatus for filling a drink including a drink supply pipe line for supplying a drink to a filling machine, the drink supply pipe line and the filling machine including a CIP and SIP treatments apparatus, and an aseptic chamber surrounding at least the apparatus for filling the drink, the aseptic chamber of the filling machine comprising a COP and SOP treatment apparatus. The CIP and SIP treatments apparatus and the COP and SOP treatment apparatus are driven in parallel with each other.

An apparatus for dispensing a liquid product into containers includes a conveyor for conveying a plurality of containers through a filling station; a dispensing unit set in the filling station and including one or more nozzles and a system for pumping the liquid product to said one or more nozzles for dispensing the liquid product into the containers that follow one another in the filling station; a tank including a collection chamber and at least one inlet mouth in communication with the collection chamber, the tank being mobile between a resting position and a working position in which the at least one inlet mouth set in a position underlying the one or more nozzles; and a control unit configured for controlling movement of the tank from the resting position (P1) to the working position, and vice versa.
