STERILISATION DEVICE FOR CAPS OF VESSELS FOR BEVERAGES Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC A23L3/06 B65B55/04 B67B1/03 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to sterilisation devices, in particular - those for caps transportations. The device contains the first and the second towers with parallel axes driven into rotation at equal circumferential speed. Each tower contains a drum resting onto a post; attached thereto are circumferentially encircling bearing rings for transportation of caps. The bearing rings are arranged in the towers in tiers coaxial to each other and concentric relative to the shared vertical axis; they are driven jointly. The design provides for transition grooves whose rings come over the bearing rings of different towers. The transition grooves performed transition of caps to the underlying tier of the other tower. The towers are positioned at an altitude shift relative ach other. In case of necessity transportation of caps between the first and the second tower is possible through at least one additional tower with transition groves.

EFFECT: invention ensures failure-safe transportation of products, reduction of thermal energy loss in sterilisation devices.
