It is related to the invention. Within the scope of the invention, a variable solid phase is created using a vacuum technique operating on the syringe principle. vacuuming to the desired volume corresponding to the filling volumes, the vacuumed solid phase The liquid phase is transferred into the mixing chamber and the desired liquid phase is added via a volumetrically controlled valve. The addition of a certain amount ensures that the solid and liquid phases brought together in the mixing chamber are 10%. Simultaneous filling into bottles or containers is achieved through a single filling valve. State of the Art In current filling processes, products containing both solid and liquid materials are filled sequentially, either manually or... It is automatically filled and expanded in volume sequentially. One 15-inch container is used to fill the solid phase. A separate filling valve is required for filling the liquid phase and the filling valve itself. Generally, filling is easier. Suspensions containing solid particles in a hard, solid, or flexible form are first filled into bottles or containers. And then the remaining volume is filled with liquid, completing the filling process. This technique was known in the previous method. Machines and systems contain more mechanical parts. Mechanical parts that transfer the solid phase. The systems are particularly useful during the transfer of solid particles, whether in solid or flexible form, into bottles or containers. Solid particles are being crushed and damaged. Known systems consist of too many parts, and this Therefore, the probability of failure is higher. Older systems occupy more space and contain more features. These systems are expensive in terms of components and have low energy efficiency. They are manufactured using old filling valves. The filling times in these machines are longer and require much more automation control. The document CN109625362A, which appears in the known state of the art, describes a vacuum-assisted, non-destructive solid-liquid 25 Mixed filling equipment is described. Vacuum non-destructive solid-liquid mixed filling equipment, a material storage chute, a material handling mechanism, a discharge hopper and primary power It consists of equipment. The solid-liquid mixture is conveyed with the help of vacuum, and the product is filled during the process. It relates to filling equipment aimed at reducing loss and damage of the solid phase. Vacuum is used to remove solid phase material. It is used not for creating a measured / volume-based mixture, but to facilitate the overall flow of the mixture. 30 There is no primary dosing mechanism that enables the volumetric expansion of the solid phase through vacuum. The solid phase is then pumped into a syringe. Dosing in an independent and adjustable volume using a vacuum system that operates on this principle. 2 and this measured solid phase together with the liquid phase simultaneously through a single filling valve It does not ensure that it is filled. The document numbered US8800610B2, seen in the previous article, is a document used for filling containers with liquid. It is a filling device. A primary port supplies the liquid to the filling device, and a secondary port supplies the liquid to the filling device. It has a second port, located away from the first port, that delivers the liquid.

Filling device by directing two fluids into a mixing chamber and mixing them through the valve body. It explains the filling process. However, the solid phase works independently of the liquid phase, using a vacuum that operates on the principle of a syringe. the system measures the volumetric / volumetric dosage, keeps this measured solid phase in the mixing chamber, and solid-10 It does not involve the simultaneous filling of liquid phases through a single filling valve. The current technology refers to document number EP1392567B1 which specifies measured quantities of material and containers. A valve assembly used for filling consists of a valve body containing a reservoir. A concentric sleeve is telescopically attached to the bottom of the main valve body and opens the valve. They move in opposite directions in response to the operation of the air cylinders to shut them off. The fluids are 15. a system for filling with measured amounts via a valve body, measuring chamber and actuators It explains the valve arrangement. However, the solid phase operates independently of the liquid phase, using the syringe principle. bulking of this measured solid phase in a mixing chamber using a vacuum system holding and simultaneously filling the solid and liquid phases through a single filling valve It does not include. 20 The document numbered CN2233397Y, seen in the previous technical report, shows a machine frame and a vacuum pump. a vacuum chamber, a vacuum tube, a liquid material container, a rotating disc, a bottle support bench, a liquid a liquid vacuum includes a material tube, a filling head, a vacuum divider, a liquid material divider, etc. The text describes improvements to the filling machine. It explains how to fill only liquid products using a vacuum effect. It describes a filling head / machine architecture for filling and provides vacuum flow or 25 It is used to facilitate filling. In contrast, the solid phase is independent of the liquid in the syringe. a vacuum system operating on the principle of measured / volumetric dosing, of this measured solid phase kept in the mixing chamber and the solid-liquid phases are simultaneously transferred through a single filling valve. It does not include filling it out. In older types of valves, solid products are transferred to the bottle using a helical principle, so there is a 30 cm gap between the helix and the outer wall. The remaining grains are compressed and crushed or broken apart as a result of the rotational movement. As can be seen... The complex structure of existing systems in the current state of the technique, measured by vacuuming 3 Its inability to provide volume control and its inability to operate via a single valve, etc., are some of its many disadvantages. This has shown the need for research and development work in the field.

The aim is to ensure that it is done. To achieve the above objectives, a vacuum technique operating on the syringe principle of the solid phase is used. 25 This allows the solid phase to be drawn into a mixing chamber by vacuuming, while the liquid phase is in the mixing chamber. The other phase flows through a separate flow path into the same mixing chamber via a volumetrically controlled valve. a system that directs the mixing of solid and liquid phases without them mixing together until the filling point. it is kept in its chamber and the solid-liquid phases are simultaneously bottled through a single valve outlet. or a filling valve that allows filling into containers; a liquid storage tank where the liquid phase is stored and a solid phase tank.

The liquid storage tank (1) is the tank in which the liquid phase is stored. The liquid is kept in this tank (1) and the valve below it Liquid flow is controlled through it. The solid storage tank (2) is the tank in which the solid phase is located. Solid phase 10 It is stored in this reservoir (2) and transferred from here to the mixing chamber. (Figure – 1 and Figure – 2) Needle The control pneumatic drive (3) pneumatically controls the needle located in the lower centre of the valve. This ensures that the gear pair (4) is driven by the motor and has an axis in the center. It rotates the long gear shaft that rotates around it. (Figure – 3) The screw pair (5) rotates around its axis at the center. It is a mechanical transmission element that forms a rotating long gear shaft. Antirotation wedge (6), vacuum head shaft 15 It is located between special wedges on its surface and converts rotary motion into linear motion. (Figure – 4) Liquid flow line (7) provides liquid phase from the liquid storage tank (1) to the mixing chamber. It is the flow path that enables transmission. The valve open / close needle (8) is located in the lower centre of the valve, It is pneumatically controlled to open and close the flow during filling. Solid The line pneumatic drive (9) is the pneumatic drive that controls the solid product path. Solid on / off 20 The needle (10) is located in the solid product path and opens the transfer of the solid phase to the mixing chamber. This ensures its closure. (Figure – 5) The valve system that is the subject of the invention has a liquid reservoir (1) and the liquid is stored in this reservoir (1). Reservoir (1) The liquid flow can be controlled with the valve below. The liquid is fed into the mixing chamber with a shaft in the center. It enters from the center. In the solid phase storage tank (2) located in the lower right part, solid phase 25 There is a path / line connecting the solid phase to the mixing chamber in front of the solid phase stock tank (2). It is located there. The vacuum drive of the solid phase is driven by a motor located in the upper right corner. The gear driven by the motor rotates a long gear shaft that turns around its central axis, and This shaft is connected to the vacuum head. The vacuum head rotates with special wedges (6) on the shaft. It converts the motion into linear motion. Thus, the vacuum head moves upwards, initiating the vacuuming process. 30 One full rotation of the vacuum head corresponds to a specific volume. Thus, angular control is possible. Volumetric control is also achieved. With solid phase volumetric control, the desired amount of solid phase can be obtained in the mixing chamber. It becomes voluminous. The needle (8) located in the lower centre of the valve is pneumatically controlled. Mixing 6 Once the solid phase taken into the chamber has been volumetricated, the central shaft opens as soon as the liquid phase begins to flow and into the bottle. The filling process is completed once the flow begins. The solid phase is located in the solid storage tank (2). The solid storage tank (2) is used to mix the solids through the solid line. It is connected to the chamber. A solid open / close needle (10) is located on this line and the solid line is pneumatic. It is controlled by the driver (9). The motor, located in the upper right, drives the screw pair 5 via the gear pair (4). (5) drives. The pair of screws (5) moves a long gear shaft that rotates around its axis. This shaft is vacuum The head is connected to the shaft. The vacuum head rotates thanks to the anti-rotation wedge (6) located on the shaft. The movement is converted into linear (upward) movement. With this conversion, the vacuum head moves upwards. It moves. During the upward movement of the vacuum head, a vacuum is created, similar to the principle of a syringe. This vacuum effect occurs. With this vacuum effect, the solid phase flows from the solid stock tank (2) through the solid line to the mixing chamber 10 is drawn in. Since one rotation of the vacuum head corresponds to a specific volume, the amount of solid phase obtained is... It is controlled volumetrically. At this stage, the solid phase is not pushed, compressed, or conveyed by a screw conveyor; it is simply... It is displaced by vacuum. When vacuuming is complete, the solid phase is in a specific volume in the mixing chamber. is held. At this stage the valve open / close needle (8) is closed, liquid flow has not yet started. Liquid phase, liquid stock It is stored in the reservoir (1). Liquid flow is controlled via a volumetric control valve through the liquid flow line (7) 15 It is controlled. The liquid phase enters the mixing chamber from the top center via a shaft that passes through the center. The liquid phase is removed after the solid phase has been volumetized. After the solid phase is volumetized in the mixing chamber, it is valved. The open / close needle (8) located in the lower centre is opened by the needle control pneumatic driver (3). At the same time, the liquid Phase flow also begins. As soon as the valve is opened, the solid phase in the mixing chamber merges with the liquid phase into a single flow. It flows from the outlet into the bottle or container. The solid and liquid phases are kept separate until the moment of filling, only at the moment of outlet 20 They move together. Therefore, the solid phase does not mix with the liquid phase before filling, and the filling process is a single unit. This is accomplished via the valve. The solid phase moves volumetrically only due to the effect of vacuum. Therefore, problems such as crushing, fragmentation, and deformation do not occur. The invention involves a solid phase. Thanks to the vacuum effect created by the linear movement of the vacuum head, the mixing chamber is filled volumetrically. The liquid phase is extracted and directed into the same mixing chamber via a volumetrically controlled valve, 25 The solid and liquid phases are kept separate from each other until the filling point and are released through a single valve. They are being filled out simultaneously. Based on the principle of a syringe, it can vacuum solid products in varying amounts for different filling volumes. By using a vacuum technique that allows the operation, the solid phase is vacuumed into the desired volume and placed in the solid phase mixing chamber. vacuumed to the desired volume and then filled with the desired amount of liquid phase through a volumetric control valve 30 The two phases were controlled and transferred together to the mixing chamber. The two phases mixed together in the mixing chamber. Simultaneous filling of the bottle is ensured. In the valve that is the subject of the invention, the solid phase is filled using the vacuum principle. The bottle is displaced, which is not a feature of this technique, and thus the solids are crushed. No disintegration problems have been observed. 7 The invention involves using vacuum technology to achieve the desired solid filling ratio within a specific volume. Under the vacuum principle, the solid phase occupies the required volume in the solid phase mixing chamber. The liquid phase, on the other hand, flows through. A controlled valve allows for the transfer of the desired volume of liquid into the mixing chamber. This combination of techniques... By using this method, the desired total volume is achieved in a controlled manner. The invention concerns a valve that fills both solid and liquid phases simultaneously through a single filling valve. Significant time savings have been achieved. The valve in question allows for two steps to be performed simultaneously with a single valve. It has a compact structure because it enables this process. While reducing production costs, it also facilitates production. It reduces energy, time, and labor costs. The filling that will be produced using this valve. The machines will occupy approximately 30% less space. Less automation control. This will require less maintenance and repair time when a valve-related problem occurs in the machines. 10 This will require a valve because it causes less damage to the solid phase and transfers it more precisely. The product in the bottle / container is delivered to the consumer in a higher quality. The valve, which is the subject of the invention, is less It consists of mechanical parts and will require less automatic control. Therefore, it requires less energy. It will consume. It will reduce production costs and increase the competitiveness of users. With this valve... In this filling process, the filling time is shortened because the solid and liquid are filled simultaneously. Even more... 15 Production capacity has been increased by filling the containers in shorter periods of time. Number of mechanical parts Because the number of units to be maintained will decrease, it becomes a system that requires less maintenance.
