Filling/sealing device for container

A filling/sealing device for a container that is configured to quickly adjust a filling amount when a filling failure is identified, comprising:

• a filler including a filling turret having a plurality of holding parts and a filling device provided for each of the holding parts to fill the container with a liquid content so that the container is provided with a total filling amount;
• a forwarding turret that holds and turret-conveys the container transported from said filling turret;
• a sealing device arranged downstream of the forwarding turret and that seals the container with a lid after being transported from said forwarding turret;
• an inspection device arranged downstream of the sealing device and provided in a path, in which said container that has been sealed by the sealing device is held and turret-conveyed, to inspect the total liquid filling amount in the container while the container is turret-conveyed;
• and
• a controller that:
• recognizes in advance a specific number of conveyances pitches between a carrying-out position of the filling turret and an inspection position of the inspection device;
• identifies the filling device corresponding to one of the holding parts with a filling failure on the basis of an inspection result from said inspection device without stopping operation of the filler;
• and
• controls, without stopping operation of the filler, the total liquid filling amount by the filling device that corresponds to the one of the holding parts identified with the filling failure,
• wherein the filling turret is configured to fill an empty container with the liquid before the container is transported to the forwarding turret from the filling turret and said filling turret is arranged in a conveyance path between a carrying-in position of the filler and the sealing device.

• an inspection device arranged downstream of the sealing device and provided in a path, in which said filled container that has been sealed by the sealing device is held and turret-conveyed, to inspect the total liquid filling amount in the sealed filled container;
• and
• a controller communicating with the filler and the inspection device and that:
• recognizes in advance a specific number of conveyances pitches between a carrying-out position of the filling turret and an inspection position of the inspection device;
• identifies said filling device that corresponds to the one of the holding parts with a filling failure on the basis of an inspection result from said inspection device without stopping operation of the filler;
• and
• adjusts, without stopping operation of the filler, the total liquid filling amount by the filling device that corresponds to the one of the holding parts identified with the filling failure, whereby the total liquid filling amount is corrected for the filling device that corresponds to the one of the holding parts identified with the filling failure.

A filling/sealing device for a container that is configured to quickly correct a filling amount when a filling failure is identified, comprising:

• a filler including a filling turret having a plurality of holding parts and a filling device provided for each of the holding parts to fill the container with a liquid content;
• a forwarding turret arranged downstream of the filler and that holds and turret-conveys the container after being transported onto the forwarding turret from a carrying-out position of said filling turret;
• a liquid nitrogen filling part provided in a circular conveyance path of the forwarding turret and that fills the container with liquid nitrogen;
• a sealing device arranged downstream of the forwarding turret and that seals the container with a lid after being transported from said forwarding turret;
• an inspection device arranged downstream of the sealing device and provided in a path, in which said sealed container is held and turret-conveyed, to inspect at an inspection position a total liquid filling amount in the container provided by the filler and the liquid nitrogen filling part;
• and
• a controller communicating with the inspection device and the filler and that:
• recognizes in advance a specific number of conveyances pitches between the carrying-out position of the filling turret and the inspection of the inspection device;
• and
• identifies said filling device that corresponds to one of the holding parts with a filling failure on the basis of an inspection result from said inspection device and corrects a filling amount by the filling device that corresponds to the one of the holding parts and without stopping operation of the filler,
• wherein the filling/sealing device utilizes only a single filling turret to fill the container when empty in a conveyance path between a carrying-in position of the filler and the sealing device.
