Patent number: 11702332Abstract: A filling valve for filling a container with a filling product, e.g., a beverage in a beverage filling system, includes a valve base body. The valve base body includes an outlet configured to discharge the filling product into the container; a swirl chamber configured to receive the filling product and is able to be brought into a fluidic connection with the outlet; and a main inlet, which feeds into the swirl chamber and is configured to introduce at least one main component of the filling product into the swirl chamber such that the filling product is swirled in the swirl chamber, whereby after exiting from the outlet the filling product flows downwardly in a spiral movement in the container. The swirl chamber has an annular shape, the cross-sectional contour thereof having a rounded shape, substantially without corner points, in the direction of extent and perpendicular to the direction of extent.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2020Date of Patent: July 18, 2023Assignee: KRONES AGInventors: Valentin Becher, Benedikt Hengl, Josef Doblinger, Anton Huber, Hubert Auer, Stefan Poeschl

Patent number: 11370646Abstract: A device for filling a fill product into a container to be filled in a beverage bottling plant. The device includes a fill product reservoir for storing the fill product, a fill product channel, and a filling member in fluid communication with the fill product reservoir via the fill product channel. The filling member is configured to introduce the fill product into the container to be filled and the filling member communicates via media channels to provide media flows for two or more functions: flushing the container with a flushing gas, pre-pressurizing the container before it is filled, returning gas displaced during the filling of the container, relieving a gas overpressure in the container, and circulating a hot fill product through the filling member for controlling a temperature. A single media channel of the media channels is configured to provide the media flows for at least two of the functions.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2019Date of Patent: June 28, 2022Assignee: KRONES AGInventors: Josef Doblinger, Holger Mueller, Franz Braun, Christian Gebauer, Angela Gruenwald, Bruno Landler, Sebastian Passberger
