FLUID / SEMI-FLUID FILLING APPARATUS THAT PROVIDES FOAM FORMATION.

Abstract

The invention relates to a fluid / semi-fluid filling apparatus (100) that enables the foaming of the fluid / semi-fluid material to be filled into the container before the filling process. The filling apparatus (100) works on the principle that the pressure force (F) created by the fluid conveyed from the fluid supply system (200) creates a fluid passage opening (51) between the filling nozzle (60) and the fluid reservoir (50), the fluid passes quickly through the said opening (51), and the fluid and air are brought together and the material is foamed by directing the compressed air towards the fluid passage opening (51) with a reflector (81).

This is explained with examples that will not create any limiting effect. Figure 1 shows the filling apparatus (100) of the invention, which will be filled with the fluid / semi-fluid. 30 with fluid supply system (200) which has the function of dosing and transferring material. It shows the fluid / semi-fluid filling apparatus (100) in connection with the filling process. a piston (10) that provides the necessary vertical movement, on which the piston (10) is mounted piston body (20), temporary fluid from the fluid supply system (200) a nozzle body (40) in which it is stored (40), nozzle body (40) continues a filling process where the material is foamed and transferred into the container to be filled. It includes the title (60). Referring to the cross-sectional view of the fluid / semi-fluid filling apparatus (100) in Figure 2 A piston shaft (21) transmits the drive provided by the piston (10) to the piston body (20) 5 It extends correctly. One end of the piston rod (21) inside the piston body (20) There is an interconnection (30) part with which it is connected. The interconnection mentioned A nozzle shaft (41) is connected to the other end of part (30). From the piston (10) The incoming drive is transmitted through the piston shaft (21) to the nozzle shaft (41) and for filling The necessary vertical movement can be achieved. A part of the nozzle shaft (41) is nozzle 10 It is located inside the body (40) and part of it is located inside the filling head (60). The nozzle shaft (41) contains an air transmission channel (42) and a nozzle (43) at its end. It takes the material into the air channel (42) at the end of the nozzle (43). There is a check valve (44) that prevents fluid from entering the nozzle body (40). a fluid reservoir (50) into which the material from the feed system (200) is transferred 15 It is located. The fluid reservoir (50) is structured narrower in relation to the reservoir diameter. It contains a reservoir opening (51). Referring to the detailed views in Figure 3a and Figure 3b, the filling head of the nozzle shaft (41) The part inside (60) is surrounded by a sealing element (70). 20 When the aforementioned sealing element (70) is pulled upwards by the piston (10) The reservoir opening (51) is completely closed. The fluid supply system (200), When the material is transferred to the fluid reservoir (50) under pressure, the pressure force of the fluid (F) with the sealing element (70) separates a little from the reservoir opening (51) and a fluid A passage opening (52) is formed. The opening here is 0.2 25 depending on the pressure force (F). It varies between -0.7 mm. Pressure from the fluid reservoir (50) The material coming in this way passes through the fluid passage opening (52) quickly It passes through the filling nozzle (60) and enters the foaming chamber (61) inside. An intermediate element (80) is located inside the frothing chamber (61). The aforementioned intermediate element is 30 element (80), compressed air coming out of nozzle (43) into fluid passage opening (52) It includes a reflector (81) which ensures the correct (D) orientation. The mentioned It has a reflective (81) dish shape. The upwardly directed air, fluid passage 6 by passing through the opening (52) quickly and mixing with the material that hits the reservoir wall It creates a turbulent field (62). In this way, the fluid / semi-fluid material It becomes foamy. On the intermediate element (80), the foamy material is filled. There are drainage openings (82) that allow passage outwards from the header (60). It also filters out foreign substances found within the foamed material and the relevant 5 at least one filter (90) which allows the water to flow into the container at a constant flow rate, filling interval The filling cap (60) is placed inside the element (80) so that it remains below it. In light of the information given above, the subject matter of the invention is a fluid / semi-fluid filling apparatus. The working principle is as follows: The subject of the invention is a food filling apparatus (100), filling 10 is connected with the fluid supply system (200) to be made and receives from this system. It delivers the material to the filling nozzle in a specific dosage, in a controlled and hygienic manner. The filling process is achieved by means of the piston (10) and piston rod (21) up-down It starts with movement. The piston (10) moving inside the piston body (20), intermediate It is connected to the nozzle shaft (41) via the link (30) and this movement is 15 for filling. It creates the necessary flow. The fluid reservoir (50) located inside the nozzle body (40), It stores the fluid coming from the supply system. Located at the reservoir outlet. The sealing element (70) is located on the chamber opening (51) when the piston is pulled upwards. It closes and prevents the uncontrolled outflow of fluid. Fluid supply system (200), When the material is conveyed under pressure, this pressure creates a fluid passage opening (52) and 20 The material is directed to the filling nozzle. The foaming nozzle (60) is located inside the filling nozzle. The reservoir (61) allows the fluid to become foamy by mixing with air. This process, The compressed air conveyed through the air transmission channel (42) is reflected (81) at the nozzle (43) outlet. This occurs by directing the fluid into the fluid passage opening (52). Thanks to the turbulence effect, a turbulent field (62) is created and the fluid becomes foamy 25 It is made into a foam. The foamed fluid is discharged outside through the discharge gap (82). The filling process is completed by guiding. The filter (90) contains the foamed material. It filters out unwanted particles, ensuring a homogeneous and clean filling.
