Embodiment Construction

[0069] Figure 1a A schematic side view of a part of a monitoring system according to the invention is shown. Here, each filled container 7 is held by a carriage 1 on a conveyor, shown in this case as a conveyor chain 2 , and weighed by the carriage in the illustrated weighing area. In the example shown, the containers are conveyed on a linear conveyor.

[0070] In the example shown, the conveyor is (slightly) lowered in the weighing area. The lowering of the weighing area can be achieved, for example, by using thinner anti-wear belts or the like. This has the effect that in this region the entire weight of the filled container is carried by the carriage and the filled container can be weighed.

[0071] After weighing, the filled containers can be returned to and travel with a conveyor described in this example as a conveyor chain 2 . Typically, by way of example, if the weight falls within desired tolerance limits, the filled container is returned to and travels with the c...

Abstract

A method for monitoring a filled container (7), in particular a filled drinks container, which is conveyed on a conveyor (4), having the following steps: the container is accommodated on a carriage (1), a spacing is produced between the container and the conveyor, and therefore the entire weight of the container is retained by the carriage in a weighing region, and the retained container is weighed in the weighing region using a load cell of the carriage, the carriage being driven, during implementation of the method, by a linear motor, and a monitoring system for filled containers, in particular filled drinks containers, for implementing such a method.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a monitoring system for filled containers and a method for monitoring filled containers. Background technique [0002] It is known to control the filling level of each individual container after the process of filling the containers with beverages or other liquids, so as to ensure that the deviation from the target value of the container's filling content is not too high. Typically, containers exhibiting excessively large deviations from the target value for the filled content are excluded from the production stream. [0003] It is known, for example, to measure fill heights optically by high-frequency means by means of X-ray or gamma irradiation or similar methods. However, if the liquid is still foaming or splashing due to the movement of the container, the measurement accuracy will be substantially reduced. [0004] Furthermore, typically fill heights can only be analyzed with a low precision of about 2 mm to 3 mm high. I...
