Filling Valves & grippers rinsing [SP037]

Due to high Protein concentration in products (e.g dairy ones), we propose a system to remove the product build up on filling valves, dummy bottles, grippers.

Current configuration: during production, only the neck rinsing nozzles is active.

Proposed solution: when the combi is empty of bottles (for any reason), sterile water is conveyed to additional washing nozzles on filling valve and grippers

Scope of supply:

• Set of additional flushing nozzles (from 2 to 4)
• Diaphragm valve
• Dedicated piping + Electrical material
• SW modification

No variation on the sterile water flow (neck rinsing and filling valves flush nozzles has the same consumption).

No variation in the isolator pressure management.

No variation in the machine speed.

Filler and Blower separation door will remain open during the filling valves flushing (no additional stoppage needed)

Reduce manual operation to clean filling valves

Improve filling process. Products build-up affects:

• product flow from filling valve to bottle
• Bottle stability below filling valve
• Dummy bottle insertion
