Problems solved by technology

[0004] In addition to the rather large overall size due to the two rotors, it is particularly disadvantageous that the process time for spraying the seals with biocide as well as the cycle time of the cyclic movement of the rotors depends on the movement of the seals through the process. Falling speed of the path
Another problem with the previously mentioned sterilization unit is that after being heated, the seals lose their shape stability due to softening, and this is subsequently lost during transport and when the seals move freely between each other. cause machine failure

Embodiment Construction

[0031] The device indicated generally by 1 in the figures is used to sterilize and / or sterilize seals 2, for example in the form of caps, threaded caps, sports caps, flat caps or crown plugs, which The member is used to seal a container (not shown), for example in the form of a bottle. To this end, the device 1 preferably forms a unit upstream of a sealing machine for sealing the containers, and the sterilized closure 2 is transferred from this unit to the sealing machine under sterile and / or clean conditions.

[0032] The device comprises, inter alia, a housing or casing (not otherwise shown in the figures), which has, for example, a polygonal or cylindrical shape surrounding a vertical machine axis or rotor axis MA, and in particular It can be configured in a hexagon. Apart from the inlet and outlet for the seal 2 , the interior of the housing is tightly sealed from the outside by the outer wall around the machine axis MA, by the upper and lower housing walls. Inspection w...

Abstract

A sterilizing machine for sterilizing bottle seals includes a rotor with vertically-oriented seal holders disposed on its periphery. Each seal holder accommodates a seal stack. As the rotor rotates, the seal holder carries the stack from a seal input, past first and second stations, to a seal output. The first station has a sterilizing-agent sprayer with successive outlets spaced apart from each other in the longitudinal direction by one seal diameter. The sprayer is directed toward a seal holder for applying sterilizing agent onto individual seals held therein. The second station is an activating and / or drying station downstream of the first station in the rotation direction.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device and a method for disinfecting and sterilizing seals according to the preambles of claims 1 and 10, respectively. Background technique [0002] For devices in the beverage industry, for example, it is common and known to seal a filled bottle or other container (including in particular a cap-shaped seals, such as threaded caps, flat caps, crown plugs, etc.) by using especially those containing H 2 o 2 steam (evaporated with sufficiently high H 2 o 2 Concentrated hydrogen peroxide aqueous solution) fungicides, or rich in H 2 o 2 The gaseous and / or vaporized carrier medium of the aerosol is sterilized or sterilized. In order to achieve a good germicidal effect with a high germicidal rate, the seal is preferably preheated, for example to a temperature varying between 50° C. and 85° C. The / or vaporized sterilant is then dried by using preferably heated sterile gaseous and / or vaporized media (for example by using prefe...
