20100186347 | BEVERAGE BOTTLING PLANT FOR FILLING BEVERAGE BOTTLES WITH A BEVERAGE BOTTLE TREATMENT MACHINE AND A BEVERAGE BOTTLE TREATMENT MACHINE IN A BEVERAGE BOTTLING PLANT - A beverage bottling plant for filling beverage bottles with a beverage bottle treatment machine and a beverage bottle treatment machine in a beverage bottling plant. The abstract of the disclosure is submitted herewith as required by | 07-29-2010 |
20110185677 | Method and System for Handling Containers - Method and system for handling a plurality of hot-filled and capped containers having temporary deformations or distortions caused by vacuums induced in the containers. For each container, temporary deformations are confined or directed to a particular portion of the container. Annular hoop rings can be provided to confine the temporary deformations to a smooth sidewall portion of the container between the annular hoop rings. Alternatively, one or more supplemental vacuum panels can be provided to confine or direct the temporary deformation thereto. The annular hoop rings and the one or more supplemental vacuum panels can provide for substantially stable touch points for the container. The containers are conveyed with temporary deformations such that substantially stable contact points of each container are in contact with corresponding substantially stable contact points of other containers. After the conveying, a moveable element in a bottom end of each container is activated substantially permanently to remove the vacuum in the container. | 08-04-2011 |
20110302881 | TRANSPORTABLE BOTTLING PLANT IN A CONTAINER - The invention provides a transportable bottling plant integrated into a container. The container has a separation wall dividing the container into a bottling room and a technical room. A preform feeder, a bottle blowing unit, a filling and closing unit and first and second transferring devices are mounted in the bottling room. A power generator, an air compressor and an air conditioning unit are mounted in the technical room. The preform feeder comprises a recipient for receiving plastic bottle preforms and an ordering unit for ordering the preforms and feeding them towards the bottle blowing unit. The first transferring device is provided for transferring the preforms from the preform feeder to the bottle blowing unit. The bottle blowing unit comprises a heater for heating the preforms and a blow-moulder for blow-moulding the preforms into bottles. The second transferring device is provided for transferring the bottles from the bottle blowing unit to the filling and closing unit. The filling and closing unit comprises a filling unit for filling the bottles with a liquid and a closing unit for closing the bottles with caps. | 12-15-2011 |
20120031040 | PLANT FOR PACKAGING CONFECTIONARY PRODUCTS IN A STERILE MANNER - A plant for packaging confectionary products comprises: at least one first assembly for preparation of a first thermoformable strip; a forming assembly for making on the first strip at least one compartment for housing confectionary products; an assembly for supplying/dispensing a confectionary product in the aforesaid compartment; a second assembly for preparation of a second closing strip; a welding assembly for connecting together the first strip and the second strip and closing the confectionary product within the housing compartment; and a cutting assembly for cutting the strips and making at least one container; each forming part of a respective operating module that is independent of the other modules and coupled to the adjacent modules in a releasable way. | 02-09-2012 |
20120174529 | FILLING ELEMENT AND FILLING MACHINE FOR FILLING CONTAINERS - The invention relates to a filling element of a filling machine for filling containers with a liquid filling material, comprising at least one dispensing opening formed at a bottom face of the filling element for dispensing the filling material in a controlled manner, and further comprising a closure system having at least one closure element, which in an activated state of the closure system rests in a sealed position pressed against the filling element and/or an outer functional element of the filling element by the pressure of a pressure medium, specifically to create a rinsing chamber, which is closed toward the outside and encloses at least one dispensing opening and through which a cleaning and/or sterilizing medium can flow. The pressure medium is the pressurized cleaning and/or sterilizing medium. | 07-12-2012 |
20120240515 | Method and System for Handling Containers - Method and system for handling a plurality of hot-filled and capped containers having temporary deformations or distortions caused by vacuums induced therein. The deformations are confined or directed to a particular portion of the container. Annular hoop rings can be provided to confine the temporary deformations to a smooth sidewall portion of the container between the annular hoop rings. Alternatively, one or more supplemental vacuum panels can be provided to confine or direct the temporary deformation thereto. The annular hoop rings and the one or more supplemental vacuum panels can provide for substantially stable touch points for the container. The containers are conveyed with temporary deformations such that substantially stable contact points of each container are in contact with corresponding substantially stable contact points of other containers. After the conveying, a moveable element it a bottom end of each container is activated substantially permanently to remove the vacuum. | 09-27-2012 |
20130283729 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PRESSURIZING A PLASTIC CONTAINER - A system for manufacturing a plastic container, including a thin-walled container, includes an actuator and a base unit. The actuator may include a body portion and a holding/securing member configured to hold or secure a portion of a container. The base unit includes a heating surface and may optionally include an insert. In an embodiment, the actuator may be configured to apply a force or pressure on a container to contact the base unit, the base unit may be configured to receive a base portion of the container, and the heating surface may be configured to convey energy or heat to a portion of the base portion of said container. Embodiments of a method for providing a plastic container are also disclosed. | 10-31-2013 |
20140157723 | DEVICE FOR INJECTING A PRESSURIZED LIQUID IN ORDER TO SHAPE A CONTAINER, COMPRISING A WORK CHAMBER ARRANGED DOWNSTREAM FROM PUMPING MEANS | 06-12-2014 |
20140298752 | METHOD FOR PRESERVING FOODSTUFFS - A method for preserving foodstuffs, in which the foodstuffs are heated in the moist state in a container suitable for transport and storage with ventilation openings. The foodstuffs are heated for a defined period by a microwave, for at least such a time as hot steam forms in the container and exits through the ventilation openings. Gas is injected into the container after the heating process for at least partial compensation of the pressure drop in the container. | 10-09-2014 |
20150040515 | LABELLING MACHINE - A labelling machine for applying labels on respective containers is disclosed. The labelling machine is provided with at least one operative unit, adapted to receive a relative container to be labelled and having a support element for supporting a base portion of the container, with a conveyor device for transferring the operative unit from a feeding station of the containers to an outlet station, and with feeding means for providing at least one label to be applied on the container borne by the operative unit The operative unit also comprises an actuator element borne by the conveyor device on the opposite side of the support element with respect to the receiving position of the container. | 02-12-2015 |
