BEVERAGE BOTTLING PLANT

Abstract

The invention relates to devices for filling and closing containers, bottles or other receptacles in a sterilizable environment. The present beverage bottling plant is a sterile non-hermetic isolator, the inside of which is filled with a sterilizing mixture containing hot air and atomized finely dispersed hydrogen peroxide H.sub.2O.sub.2, i.e. hydrogen peroxide vapor. The plant is configured on the principle of a single-shell isolator enclosure and operates continuously. Air extractor casings are arranged at a receptacle inlet and a receptacle outlet, said casings creating controlled movement of a sterilizing medium inside and providing a continuous entrainment effect. The inside walls of a receptacle are treated with hot sterile air directly before the receptacle is filled with a product, and the inside walls of a lid are treated with hot sterile air directly before closure.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

[0051] FIG. 1. The filling plant is a relatively closed space in the form of a monoblock 1 with holes for the entry of empty containers through the hood 2 and lids for capping containers 4 and the exit of finished products through the casing 3. The arrows show the direction of movement of the air mixture in the casings and the direction of movement of empty containers, lids and sealed containers.

[0052] FIG. 2. At the inlet of the monoblock, the container falls on the star A. When the container moves along the star A and then along the star B, the container is treated with a finely dispersed mixture of hydrogen peroxide from the inside and outside with nozzles 7 and 8 to destroy microorganisms on the walls of the container. On star C, immediately before the container is fed to the filling carousel (star D), the inner walls of the container are treated with hot sterile air supplied by nozzles 9 inside the container. On the carousel D, the container is filled with the product. The caps for capping are fed into the monoblock from the outside through a special channel 4 through a hole in the wall of the monoblock. Immediately upon entering the monoblock, the lids are treated with a finely dispersed mixture of hydrogen peroxide 10 and immediately before capping, the inner walls of the lids are treated with hot sterile air supplied by nozzles 11. The sealing of the container is carried out on the star F. The finished products are removed from the monoblock through the star G, and then through the casing 3 to the outside.

[0053] The plant works as follows.

[0054] The beverage filling unit (monoblock) is a sterile leak-proof insulator, the inner space of which is filled with a sterilizing mixture including hot air and atomized fine hydrogen peroxide (peroxide—H.sub.2O.sub.2)—peroxide vapor. The plant is carried out on the principle of a single-circuit insulator housing starting from the entrance of the container into the sterile space of the filling machine and until the exit of the already sealed container with the product. The monoblock works in continuous mode. At the inlet and outlet of the container into the monoblock there are hoods of the hood, which create a controlled movement of the sterilizing medium inside the leaky monoblock. The hoods of the monoblock provide a constant ejection effect, thanks to which they suck partially peroxide vapor from the monoblock and partially air from the surrounding space of monoblock. With a properly selected exhaust flow rate, such a movement of the sterilizing medium inside the leaky monoblock is created, which eliminates the ingress of peroxide vapor outside through the leaky lining of the monoblock, the air entering through the leaky seals of the monoblock space and through the feed channel of the lids into the monoblock immediately mixes with peroxide vapor and becomes sterile, this eliminates the ingress of microorganisms into the sealed container. The peroxide vapor inside the monoblock is formed by feeding a sprayed fine mixture with a high concentration of peroxide into the monoblock for processing incoming containers inside and outside and for processing lids for sealing containers, as well as by feeding sterile hot air into the monoblock to neutralize peroxide on the inner walls of the container and on the inner walls of the lids. The treatment of the inner walls of the container with hot sterile air takes place immediately before filling the container with the product, the treatment of the inner walls of the lids with hot sterile air takes place immediately before capping. Finely dispersed atomized hydrogen peroxide and hot sterile air are supplied through special nozzles. As a result of mixing a fine mixture of peroxide and sterile hot air, a cloud of peroxide vapor with a concentration of peroxide is formed inside the monoblock, which makes it possible to destroy microorganisms and ensure complete sterility of the process of filling the product into containers and sterile sealing of containers. For the processing of containers and lids, nozzles are installed inside the monoblock, through which a sprayed fine mixture is fed, which is partially deposited on the walls of the container and the walls of the lids, partially mixed with the peroxide vapor available inside the monoblock. The peroxide deposited on the walls of containers and lids kills the remnants of microorganisms, ensures the sterility of the original packaging before bottling and capping. Immediately before spilling, the container is purged with a jet of hot sterile air to remove peroxide residues from the inner walls of the container. Immediately before spilling, the container is purged with a jet of hot sterile air to remove peroxide residues from the inner walls of the container. Purging with hot sterile air is carried out by injectors installed inside the monoblock on the way of movement of containers and lids. As a result of exposure to hot air, the peroxide deposited on the inner walls of the container and the inner walls of the lid decomposes into water and oxygen, which reduces the concentration of residual peroxide in the product in the sealed container to acceptable values (below 0.5 ppm).

[0055] The results of the conducted tests on disinfection and filling of bottles reflect the organoleptic quality indicators of the process that ensures the production of a competitive finished product, the unit of measurement of the concentration of which (residual peroxide level) is equal to 0.3 ppm, which is lower than the generally accepted world standards of 0.5 ppm.

[0056] Thus, the analysis and testing of the prototype confirm the achievement of the stated technical result of the claimed invention: increasing reliability, simplifying and reducing the cost of the bottling process by creating a hydrogen peroxide sterilizer of a reasonable structure that provides the required high biological purity of the bottled beverage occurring in.

[0057] The invention proposed for patenting has the criterion of “novelty”, since the whole set of features of the formula is not known from the prior art given in the corresponding section of the description.

[0058] It has the criterion of “inventive level”, since for a specialist it does not explicitly follow from the state of the art.

[0059] And it is also industrially applicable, since the tests carried out have confirmed the possibility of its use in the presented field of technology.
