Abstract (en)
Device for hot filling (1) of a container (100), comprising: a first fluid path (11) ending with a dispensing nozzle (2); a first valve (3) situated along said first fluid path (11) and upstream of said dispensing nozzle (2); a second fluid path (12) branching off from said first fluid path (11) at said first valve (3); a second valve (4) situated along said second fluid path (12); a first tank (5) communicating with said first fluid path (11); sanitisation means (7) of the dummy bottle type movable at least between a first position in which they are beneath said dispensing nozzle (2) and the outlet of said second fluid path (12) so as to receive the fluids coming from the first fluid path (11) and form the second fluid path (12), and a second position in which they are set away from said dispensing nozzle (2) and are beneath the outlet of said second fluid path (12); said hot filling device (1) being at least configurable in: - a filling status in which the first tank (5) contains a food fluid, the sanitisation means (7) are in the second position, the first valve (3) is open so as to allow the food fluid coming from the first tank (5) to arrive at the dispensing nozzle (2) and the second valve (4) is closed; - a sanitisation status in which the first tank (5) contains a sanitisation fluid, the sanitisation means (7) are in the first position, the first valve (3) is open and the second valve (4) is open so as to allow the sanitisation fluid coming from the first tank (5) to arrive at the sanitisation means (7) both via the dispensing nozzle (2) and via the outlet of the second fluid path (12); and - a recirculation status in which the first tank (5) contains the food fluid, the sanitisation means (7) are in the second position, the first valve (3) is closed and the second valve (4) is open so that the food fluid returns to the first tank (5) via a closed path passing through the sanitisation means (7) and a further fluid path (13, 14) developing from said sanitisation means (7) to said first tank (5).
