Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A filling element for filling systems for filling bottles or similar containers ( 2 ) with a hot liquid product, comprising a liquid channel ( 14, 15 ), which is formed in the filling element ( 1 ), has a filling valve ( 9 ) and forms at least one discharge opening, via which, by controlled opening and closing of the liquid valve ( 9 ), the liquid product can be introduced into the respective container ( 2 ) that has been raised towards the filling element ( 1 ) in a lifting movement, and comprising at least one flow path ( 16, 17, 18 ), which is formed in the liquid valve ( 1 ) and, for heating the filling element ( 1 ), can be connected to a hot circulation of the liquid product, characterized in that control means ( 5.2 ) are provided and, by the lifting movement of the container ( 2 ) to be filled, open the liquid valve ( 9 ) and block the flow path ( 16, 17, 18 ) for the hot circulation or reduce the effective flow cross section of this flow path ( 16, 17, 18 ), and in that optionally, at least over part of the length of the flow path ( 16, 17, 18 ) for the hot circulation, the inner surface of this flow path is profiled, for example provided with ribs ( 30 ), to increase the surface area that comes into contact with the product and/or to create a turbulent flow of the product.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. An apparatus for filling containers with hot liquid content, said apparatus comprising: a filling device having a liquid channel formed therein, a liquid valve forming at least one discharge opening from the liquid channel, through which the liquid content can be introduced, through a controlled opening and closing of the liquid valve, into containers that are raised against the filling device in a lifting movement, at least one flow path formed in the…
