Abstract
Device for the refilling of double-chamber pressure packet spray containers comprising an electromotor with a dosing pump which pumps the filling product from a storage container via a supply line to a filling tube, the tube corresponding with the spray valve of the container. A two-way solenoid valve is disposed in the feed line of the filling tube.
Claims7
A method for refilling a double-chamber presspack spray container which has a spray valve, a product-holding inner bag communicating with the spray valve and a sealed, compressed gas chamber charged therein with compressed gas biasing the inner bag for dispensing the product through said spray valve without expelling said gas, and after the product has been dispensed with the inner bag being collapsed and the gas expanded and reduced in pressure, and without adding any additional compressed gas, comprising the step of
- inverting said container,
- connecting said spray valve to a supply of product to be refilled into said collapsed inner bag without adding any additional gas into the gas chamber,
- selectively metering the product into the collapsed inner bag so as to fill and expand said bag against the force of the gas and compressing and building up the pressure of the gas back to its original compressed gas pressurized condition without adding any additional gas into the gas chamber,
- disconnecting the supply of product from the spray valve,
- removing the refilled container with the refilled product and unused compressed gas.

- means for releasably connecting the spray valve to a supply of product to be refilled into said inner bag, without adding any additional gas into the gas chamber,
- means for selectively metering the product into the collapsed bag so as to fill and expand said bag against the force of the gas for compressing and building up the pressure of the gas back to an original compressed gas pressurized condition without adding any additional gas into the gas chamber,
- means for disconnecting the supply of product from the spray valve,
- said connecting means further for removing the container with the refilled product and unused compressed gas.
