Definitions

  • This invention introduces a new aseptic filling technology for plastic bottles made of PET, PE, PEHD, polypropylene or other hygienically compatible plastics, which is applied to aseptic product packing machines with a rotary or carousel-based concept.
  • Aseptic product packing in plastic bottles is a fairly recent technology. It has developed in the last years especially for products like fruit juices, tea, soft drinks, milk and its byproducts, going hand in hand with companies offering their new technological solutions for this field and, of course, with the market's interest for them to be applied.
  • This kind of packing is a complex technology, which implies several stages and depends on the type, shape and condition of the original bottle, as well as on the product itself. It requires interventions by machine operators to be reduced to the lowest possible degree and to be carried out under the safest conditions in order to preclude the possibility of contamination of the machine, in particular of its internal microclimate and, as a consequence, of the product.
  • Bottles belonging to the first group can be produced aseptically (i.e. completely closed) or else not hermetically (their inner part is open to the surrounding air). PET bottles are produced from preforms that are open to the ambient air, and therefore they are always blown under non-sterile conditions. In both cases, the bottles can be either produced at the product packing factory or bought from a specialized producer, who will deliver them arranged on pallets or in bulk within proper containers. Regardless of their delivery format, however, all bottles destined to aseptic packing undergo one of two different procedures, depending on their production:
  • First solution The whole machine is positioned inside a cleanroom, where sterile air (filtered in Class 1000 or Class 100) flows into; a slight overpressure is to be found in this environment.
  • sterile air filtered in Class 1000 or Class 100
  • the machine operator is part of the microclimate and integrates the operational cycle of the machine.
  • Second solution - Proper laminar flows are generated in order to protect each machine's section (mini-cleanrooms in each section) enclosed by an upper wall (purposely built to support the filters), a lower wall (machine base) and a rigid side wall (sheet steel and/or glass) or alternatively a flexible side wall (transparent plastic material for the food industry).
  • the machine operator can intervene from outside, working on the machine through openings dislocated in strategically optimal positions in the side walls, his arms covered by long flexible gloves (“sleeves”): they are fixed to the openings and thus always inside the aseptic environment, therefore a part of the internal microclimate. Although they cannot be contaminated from outside, they restrict intervention possibilities for the machine operator.
  • the most critical sections in the machine are the dosing and cap application sections, where both the bottle and the product are most exposed to possible environmental contamination.
  • the sterilization section instead, the chemical agents' vapours protect the microclimate against bacteria possibly coming from outside.
  • the first two sections are also more frequently subject to intervention by the machine operator, for instance in case of wrong measuring up of the product, loss of closures or aluminium caps, stuck bottles and caps and so on. A wrong intervention in this area determines severe problems and may make it necessary to carry out a new sanitization cycle of the whole machine.
  • This invention aims at creating a protection room for the dosing and cap application area that facilitates interventions by the machine operator, ensuring highest sterility and aseptic conditions at the same time, and reducing the need for intervention from outside - but above all also making it possible to clean and sterilize the machine in its dosing and cap application sections with chemical cleaning and sterilization solutions every time that the machine is to be prepared for production.
  • the filling and closing room is regularly sterilized by means of traditional methods every time that the cleaning and sterilization phases of the main dosing unit and of the dosing nozzles are started. This ensures that the most critical environment is completely sanitized at every production start.
  • this invention enables the operator to have direct access to stuck bottles through passages purposely planned in the room: wearing only a protective glove, he will be able to extract the bottle/cap without contaminating the environment.
  • a third benefit given by this invention is the stationary part of the room, that makes it possible to create a safe and rigid connection between the room and the sterile air generation system, as well as the cleaning solution infeed and recovery systems. This concept makes the room independent of the other sections of the machine as a whole.
  • the invention is the special configuration of the enclosing room containing the dosing and cap application sections, wich can be applied to any machine with a rotary or carousel-based concept for bottling products destined to the food industry and/or to the chemical and pharmaceutical industry. It is made of two sections and a series of accessories: the room contains two smaller rooms, the first protecting the filling and cap application area, the second enclosing the bottle's body. This concept may include two additional rooms to enable sterile air to be taken in.
  • the upper room (C1) is absolutely essential, the lower room (C2) and the other rooms (C3) are useful but not strictly necessary, as the internal microclimate is maintained by the internal room with proper overpressure.
  • This invention aims at obtaining an easier and safer process of aseptic filling for plastic bottles, regardless of their specific material, without using standard traditional cleanrooms or else laminar flows, but by making use of a room enclosing the critical area and consisting of two sections; both sections are purposely developed in order to best serve their functional purpose, minimizing the sterile room's volume, that is to say reducing it to the critical area comprising the bottle's neck and the lower part of the nozzles and of the closer.
  • This is certainly an innovative solution: besides the advantages presented above, this invention also makes it possible to intervene directly on all mechanical parts of the machine without altering the microclimate in the filling area; thanks to this solution, any intervention becomes simpler and safer.
  • sterile air is no more top-down distributed only through the filters, but it is now fed through apposite pipes and circuits, resulting in a better flow distribution and a more accurate control of the positive pressure, and offering better guarantees in terms of functionality.
  • An embodiment of the aseptic filling machine is suitable, especially for plastic bottles, and comprises a carousel and an enclosing room apt to protect the product dosing and/or bottles closing, consisting of two main rooms C1, C3 each of them comprising a stationary part, a rotating part and accessories which make it possible to maintain an aseptic condition in the enclosing room, wherein at least one room C3 is provided for the purpose of intakting the sterile air flow coming out of the main room C1.
  • the volume of the upper room C1 is kept to a minimum, that is to say to the volume existing between the dosing nozzles/closing heads and bottle's neck.
  • the sealing between the stationary and the rotating surfaces is guaranteed by suitable sliding surfaces and/or labyrinth surfaces for sterile use in order to enclose the inner microclimate.
  • the upper surface of the main room C1 consists of the plate supporting the dosing nozzles/closing heads, and where the lower surface consists of the plate supporting the bottle neck handling clamp devices and of a sealing surface with suitable sliding points for guaranteeing tightness for the maintenance of the inner pressure.
  • the upper surface of the main room C2 consists of the plate supporting the bottle neck handling clamp devices and of a fixed surface, and where the lower surface consists of a stationary plate and of a rotating plate with suitable points for guaranteeing tightness for the maintenance of inner pressure.
  • At least one room C3 is provided for the purpose of taking the sterile air flow coming out of the other main room C2.
  • sterile air is fed into the room through proper pipelines.
  • the room can be cleaned and sterilized through proper pipelines, independently of the machine and without any human intervention, using traditional chemical agents
  • suitable nozzles for dosing/vaporizing chemical agents on the room's surfaces can be installed in the inside without any prejudice to the room's sterile conditions.
  • the fixed enclosing wall is made of rigid plastic material or, alternatively, of flexible plastic material.
  • the concept may not include the room defined as C2, as the sterile air pressure inside the room C1 can be maintained also without the room C2.
  • the two main rooms C1, C2 comprise accessories to sanitize it using sterilizing agents when the machine undergoes its preparation phases.
