Description

BACKGROUND[0001]1. Technical Field[0002]A beverage bottling plant for filling bottles with a liquid beverage material.[0003]2. Background Information[0004]A beverage bottling plant for filling bottles with a liquid beverage filling material can possibly comprise a beverage filling machine with a plurality of beverage filling positions, each beverage filling position having a beverage filling device for filling bottles with liquid beverage filling material. The filling devices may have an apparatus designed to introduce a predetermined volume of liquid beverage filling material into the interior of bottles to a substantially predetermined level of liquid beverage filling material. The apparatus designed to introduce a predetermined flow of liquid beverage filling material further comprises an apparatus that is designed to terminate the filling of the beverage bottles upon the liquid beverage filling material reaching the predetermined level in bottles. There may also be provided a co...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

"The patent text describes a long-term lubrication system for machines used in the beverage industry for handling and processing bottles. The system provides reliable lubrication to prevent damage to the equipment and contamination of the bottles. The system is economical and can be constructed without the need for additional lubricant return or control elements. The technical effect of the patent text is to provide a reliable and cost-effective lubrication solution for machines used in the beverage industry."

Problems solved by technology

This supply of lubricant can be provided either manually or automatically by means of a central lubrication system, although lubrication systems of this type are complex and expensive because of the need for distributors, control elements, lubrication lines etc.

It is also frequently difficult to prevent the leakage or escape of excess lubricant that can cause contamination of the equipment.

Such lubricant leaks and escapes are undesirable in many applications and are even prohibited in others.

This problem can of course be resolved by a grease return, but that has the additional disadvantage of requiring additional construction that entails additional expense.
