Embodiment Construction

[0076] figure 1 A schematic view of a container treatment plant with an apparatus for introducing protective gas according to the invention is shown. It will be appreciated that the container processing facility can have additional elements in addition to the elements shown, such as blow moulding machines, labelling machines, direct printing machines or similar elements. At the same time, the elements shown, such as the transfer stars 20 and 21, can be eliminated, or replaced by other elements.

[0077] figure 1 The container treatment facility 15 shown in comprises a filling machine 19 configured as a rotary machine, a closure machine 22 also configured as a rotary machine, and a device for introducing protective gas into the container 2 filled by the filling machine, which device It is located between the filling machine 19 and the closing machine 22 in the process line. Furthermore, in figure 1 An exemplary entry star wheel 18 is provided, through which the containers 2...

Abstract

The present invention provides an apparatus and method for introducing a protective gas into a vessel (2, 110). The device has a transport system (100) with a closed transport rail, which is configured for transporting containers, and an injection device (150; 250; 350), which is arranged and constructed on the transport rail This enables the introduction of protective gas into the container during the transport of the container, wherein the transport system (100) is configured with a long stator linear motor drive (185) for transporting a plurality of transport elements for the container (170) move along the transport track in an individually controllable manner.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for introducing a protective gas into the headspace of a container filled with liquid food, and to a container treatment facility having such an apparatus. In this case, the protective gas can also be introduced into the headspace in liquid or solid form, and it is only in the headspace that it changes to the gaseous state. Background technique [0002] In the beverage processing industry, liquid foods, especially beverages, are often sensitive to oxygen. A typical example is beer, where, in order to prevent oxygen from negatively affecting persistence, taste and quality, residues present in the headspace of the filled bottle are removed by a protective gas, such as nitrogen or carbon dioxide, before the bottle is closed. Oxygen is expelled. Additional examples are juices, smoothies and milk. In cans, beverage boxes and other containers for liquid food products, in order to protect oxygen-sens...
