Embodiment Construction

[0022] The drawing shows a device by means of which the volume of the disposable container 1 , in the present exemplary embodiment the disposable keg 1 , is reduced. The disposable keg 1 in question has an outer shell made of elastic and foldable plastic with sufficient material thickness to be able to contain liquid food, in particular beer, inside. The disposable keg 1 can be produced by a plastic blow molding process and has the shape of an approximately cylindrical pressure bag in the filled state.

[0023] The mouth 2 of the disposable keg 1 is equipped with a flange 3 visible in FIGS. 2 and 3 or a corresponding connection. With flange 3 can be connected a in image 3 The connection element 4 shown in detail in , which within the scope of this exemplary embodiment is a (vacuum) pick-up head or a similar device. The food product located inside the disposable keg 1 can be pressed out by means of the pick-up head or connecting piece 4 . To this end, the connection piece 4 ...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for reducing the volume of disposable containers (1), particularly disposable beverage containers (1). A negative pressure device (9) is connected to an opening (2) of the disposable container (1) and evacuates the disposable container (1) in order to reduce the volume thereof. According to the invention, the negative pressure device (9) is connected to said opening (2) by means of a replaceable intermediate adapter piece (11).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for reducing the volume of disposable containers, especially disposable beverage containers, according to which method, a negative pressure device is connected to the mouth of the disposable container and the disposable container is evacuated to reduce the volume of the disposable container. small in size. Background technique [0002] One such method is described in general terms in DE 20 2006 000 865 U1. This relates to a bottle receiving block by means of which disposable beverage bottles are evacuated. For this purpose, the published teaching uses commercially available household vacuum cleaners as vacuum devices. This disclosed practice may be beneficial to the end user, but is not suitable for disposal of, for example, disposable kegs, especially when the disposable kegs are used commercially in the restaurant industry. [0003] Disposable kegs of this type are described, for example, in DE 101 38 365 A1, whic...
