Abstract
A filling system for filling bottles with liquid filling-material includes filling point pairs, each having filling points. Each filling point has a filling element and a container holder. Each filling element comprises a filling element housing, a liquid channel, a delivery opening that delivers liquid filling material to a bottle, a liquid valve that controls delivery through said delivery opening, a gas path control valve, and a lifter device for lifting and lowering said container holder. The lifter device includes a pneumatically operated actuating element. In operation, the actuating element connects to a bottle's interior
Claims17
An apparatus for filling bottles with liquid filling-material, said apparatus comprising a filling system having a plurality of filling point pairs, each of which comprises a first tilling point, a second filling point, a control module, a second gas path, a third gas path, and a gas path control valve, wherein each of said first and second filling points comprises a filling element and a container holder, wherein each filling element comprise a filling element housing, a liquid channel, a delivery opening, a liquid valve, a first gas path, and a lifter device, wherein said delivery opening delivers said liquid filling-material into a container, wherein said liquid valve controls said delivery of said liquid filling-material, wherein said gas path control valve provides control over said second gas path, wherein said second gas path at least in part provides control over said filling process, wherein said lifter device is configured for lifting and lowering said container holder, wherein said second gas path and said gas path control valve are configured in said control module, wherein said control module is common to both filling elements, and wherein said first gas path is connected to said control module, and wherein said lifter device comprises a pneumatically operated actuating element, wherein said third gas path connects said pneumatically operated actuating element to a container's interior.
An apparatus for processing bottles, said apparatus comprising a filling system for filling bottles with liquid filling-material, wherein said filling system comprises filling point pairs, wherein said filling point pairs comprise a first filling point pair, wherein said first filling point pair comprises first and second filling points, wherein each of said filling point comprises a tilling element and a container bolder, wherein each filling element comprises a filling element housing, a liquid channel, a delivery opening, a liquid valve, a gas path control valve, a lifter device, and a pneumatically operated actuating element, wherein, said delivery opening delivers liquid filling material to a bottle, wherein said liquid valve controls delivery through said delivery opening, wherein said gas path control valve is configured to control a filling process, wherein said lifter device is configured for lifting and towering said container holder, wherein said lifter device comprises said pneumatically operated actuating element, wherein, in operation, said pneumatically operated actuating element is connected to a bottle's interior, wherein said container holder comprises a common container holder and said lifter device, and wherein said common container holder lifts containers for both filling points of said filling point pair.
