20110101248 | Electron beam sterilizer - There is provided an electron beam sterilizer judging, in an electron beam irradiation zone, whether an electron beam amount to be irradiated to a resin bottle is proper or improper. The sterilizer includes an electron beam irradiator for irradiating the resin bottle with an electron beam through an irradiation window and a bottle conveyer for conveying the resin bottle, and the resin bottle conveyed in front of the irradiation window is irradiated with the electron beam to thereby sterilize the bottle. A beam collector is disposed in front of the irradiation window so as to oppose thereto. The beam collector is supported in an electrically insulated manner by an insulating member. When the electron beam irradiates the beam collector, an electric current flowing the beam collector is measured by an electric current measuring device. The measured electric current is compared with a predetermined reference value by a comparator, and a judging unit judges whether an amount of the electron beam irradiated to the resin bottle is proper or improper. In the judgement, when it is judged to be improper, the improper resin bottle and other resin bottles conveying before and after that resin bottle are removed by a reject unit in accordance with instructions from a command unit. | 05-05-2011 |
20120145929 | ELECTRON BEAM STERILIZER - Plastic containers fed by an article feeder housed in a shield chamber sterilized by being irradiated with an electron beam that is radiated from an irradiation window of an electron beam irradiation unit which is coupled to an opening of the shield chamber. In a maintenance mode, an adjustment irradiation box is detachably mounted on the electron beam irradiation unit in covering relation to the irradiation window of the electron beam irradiation unit. The adjustment irradiation box houses therein an electron beam receiver for receiving the electron beam radiated from the irradiation window, a cooling mechanism for cooling the electron beam receiver, and an exhaust mechanism for discharging an atmosphere in the adjustment irradiation box. | 06-14-2012 |
20130182363 | METHOD OF ELIMINATING STATIC CHARGE FROM RESIN VESSEL, METHOD OF STERILIZING AND FILLING RESIN VESSEL, METHOD OF FILLING AND CAPPING RESIN VESSEL, APPARATUS FOR ELIMINATING STATIC CHARGE FROM RESIN VESSEL, AND RESIN VESSEL STERILIZING AND FILLING SYSTEM - To eliminate charges accumulated inside a wall structure of a resin vessel | 07-18-2013 |
20130202481 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR STERILIZING VESSEL WITH ELECTRON BEAM - To prevent electrical charging inside a resin material as well as a surface of a resin vessel at a time of sterilizing the resin vessel by being irradiated with electron beam, a bottle support unit is mounted to a lower end portion of a cylindrical rotating shaft rotatably supported by a rotating wheel. The bottle support unit includes a pair of griper members by which a mouth portion of a bottle is gripped. A ground electrode is disposed to be capable of being inserted into the interior of the resin vessel through a mouth portion thereof, and the interior of the resin vessel is irradiated with the electron beam in a state of the ground electrode being inserted into the resin vessel. | 08-08-2013 |

20100202918 | Apparatus and method for sterilizing vessel with electron beam - It is aimed to prevent electrical charging inside a resin material as well as a surface of a resin vessel at a time of sterilizing the resin vessel by being irradiated with electron beam. A bottle support unit is mounted to a lower end portion of a cylindrical rotating shaft rotatably supported by a rotating wheel. The bottle support unit includes a pair of griper members by which a mouth portion of a bottle is gripped. The bottle rotated and conveyed in a state supported by the bottle support unit is irradiated with the electron beam from an electron beam irradiator to thereby sterilize the bottle. A ground electrode is disposed to be capable of being inserted into the interior of the resin vessel through a mouth portion thereof, and the interior of the resin vessel is irradiated with the electron beam in a state of the ground electrode being inserted into the resin vessel. Since extra electrons or ions generated by the irradiation to the resin vessel with the electron beam flow outside, the charge amount of the resin vessel is alleviated. | 08-12-2010 |

20130161532 | ELECTRON BEAM STERILIZER FOR CAP - An electron beam cap-sterilizer radiates an electron beam onto caps while the caps are continuously conveyed. The caps are conveyed in the restricting conveying section while the movements of the caps are restricted, so that the caps roll down freely and separately from each other in the free conveying section. The electron beam radiating device emits electron beams onto the inside of the caps in the lateral direction while the caps are conveyed in the free conveying section. A deflecting device is provided in the free conveying section. The deflecting device is located at the opposite side of the electron beam radiating device to deflect the electron beams emitted by the electron beam radiating device onto the outside of the caps. | 06-27-2013 |
