Problems solved by technology

In these shaded areas caused by the contact of two adjacent closures, ionizing radiation cannot perform its effects
Then, it will not be possible to eliminate any pathogenic agent present in said shaded area, thus compromising the sterility of these closures, whether caps or stoppers

Embodiment Construction

[0027] With reference to the figures, a device for feeding container closures to a sterilization plant is indicated generally by the reference number 1 .

[0028] The device 1 comprises a guide 2 having an inlet 3 for closures, usually caps and bungs, which is in communication with a loader or hopper (not shown) for storing the closures and feeds closures to be processed.

[0029] The device 1 can be associated with a closure processing station 4 which is preferably included in the sterilization apparatus.

[0030] The device 1 includes spacer means so that the closures are fed to the processing station 4 one at a time at evenly spaced time intervals. In particular, said spacing means are operatively associated with guide means 2 and positioned upstream of said processing stations 4 .

[0031] specific reference image 3 , the spacing means comprise a separating element 5 which is operable to act on a line of closures 100 so as to feed the leading closure in the queue 100a ...

Abstract

Device (1) for feeding container closures, comprising guiding means (2) for conveying the closures (100) to a treatment station associable with said device. The device (1) comprises spacer means (5, 105) to deliver the closures to the treatment station at evenly spaced time intervals, said spacer means being operatively associated with said guiding means (2) and positioned upstream from said treatment station. Apparatus for sterilising container closures equipped with a sterilisation station and comprising such a device (1) for feeding container closures to said sterilisation station.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of container handling, especially for the bottle industry. [0002] In particular, the present invention relates to devices for feeding container closures. Background technique [0003] It is well known that in the food industry, especially in the field of aseptic filling of containers for beverages and in the field of aseptic food packaging, it is necessary to sterilize the containers internally and externally prior to filling. [0004] Disinfection is typically achieved using chemicals such as hydrogen peroxide or peracetic acid, which can be used on various surfaces such as paper, plastic, metal or organic materials. [0005] In order for the filling to take place under aseptic conditions, it is not only necessary to sterilize the containers but also their closures, such as caps or stoppers, which seal the containers at the end of the filling process. [0006] According to the prior art, closures (caps ...
