Embodiment Construction

[0040] The method according to the invention is described in more detail below by way of working examples.

[0041] Beverage filling equipment 10 such as figure 1 shown schematically. In the beverage filling chamber 20 (often transparent) is accommodated a beverage filling device 30 by means of which a beverage 35 is filled into a bottle 40a (or another container) through a filling head 32 . During this process, the beverage 35 or foam 37 may splash from the bottle ( 40 a ), causing contamination 71 of the conveyor belt 60 . Subsequently, beverage dripping from the filling head 32 may also contaminate the conveyor belt during the process in which filled bottles 40b are conveyed forward from the filling head 32 while empty bottles (not shown) are advanced below the filling head 32 .

[0042] During the filling process, cleaning agent 110 is sprayed continuously through nozzles 80 , 82 , 84 , which may be wide-mouth nozzles, onto filling device 30 , its filling head 32 as well...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for cleaning beverage filling lines. According to said method, one or more beverage fillers (30) having a filler head (32) are continuously or intermittently rinsed in a beverage filling chamber (20) of the beverage filling line (20) during operation of the beverage filling line with an aqueous, physiologically acceptable cleaning medium (110) which is present at ambient temperature. Preferably, containers (40a) that are filled in the beverage filling chamber (20) with a beverage (35), and/or conveying means (60) for transporting the containers are continuously or intermittently rinsed with the cleaning medium (110) during transport through the beverage filling chamber (20). The cleaning medium preferably has a disinfecting effect.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for cleaning beverage filling lines. Background technique [0002] Beverage filling lines are subject to constant contamination of the beverage being filled, for example because, between two filling operations, the beverage continues to drip from the filling head, the container overflows or the beverage foam overflows the container, and the like. Moist contaminated areas of filling lines become ideal culture media for various microorganisms. Therefore, from an aesthetic and hygienic point of view, it is imperative to clean the contaminated parts of the filling line in order to ensure a hygienically acceptable filling process. [0003] Until now, these devices have been cleaned by means of a so-called "rinse". For this purpose it is necessary to interrupt the operation of the machine, e.g. spray all machine parts with hot water (e.g. 85°C) through nozzles (e.g. wide mouth nozzles) for several minutes (e.g. 5 m...
