BOTTLE HOT-FILL SYSTEM Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC B67C3/04 

FIELD: transport, distribution.

SUBSTANCE: present invention relates to filling valve for bottle filling, in particular designed for plastic bottle hot-fill with food liquids such as fruit juices, isoosmotic beverages, milk and other similar beverages, and to corresponding system containing multiple filling valves. Filling valve for container filling, which valve includes valve body forming space for filling liquid flow and provided with hole to feed the above mentioned liquid into one of above mentioned containers, as well as with rod passing through this hole and forming end portion of tube with inlet section, the first shutter of above mentioned hole for liquid inlet installed inside the valve body with possibility to move and coaxial to the rod where the first shutter at the first end is provided with sealing element (16) which serves for hole leakproof closing and forming a syphon between above mentioned space and above mentioned hole in combination with lower valve body portion to control filling level in one of above mentioned containers; liquid baffling element located in above mentioned hole and providing liquid speed rotational component allowing liquid to butt against container walls during filling phase. In this structure, above mentioned baffling element is in direct contact with above mentioned first end of the first shutter on the first portion of rod, herewith, near the first portion of the rod and under this portion intended for swirler assembly, the rod has the second portion having desired outboard profile with the first segment converging relative to tube axis and the second segment diverging relative to above mentioned axis, so that the two segments of outboard profile essentially represent truncated cone and are smoothly joined.

EFFECT: meeting all requirements determined by typical features of hot filling while keeping the same base configuration for cold processing of ordinary liquids not requiring recirculation, for example plain water.
