HUGO from FROREICHE and JOSEF HUDL in PRAGUE. Bottle filling machine.

Patented in the German Empire from l. March 1881.

The main purpose of this bottle filler is to foam the beer as it is filled into To prevent bottles by counter air pressure and thus not only a quick, precise filling to enable, but also, what is the main thing, the beer in its original full To maintain strength and prevent the carbonic acid from evaporating.

All metal parts consist of a solid composition; to protect against everyone Oxidation are tin-plated in the interior and nickel-plated on the surface.

The rubber hoses necessary to connect the metal components are also used made only of the best material, and are such without any influence on the beer.

The faucet A is a strong faucet made of metal composition, which is provided with a thread at its outlet. The faucet tap is connected through the sleeve screw connection C on the beer ladder B (a container made of chased metal).

On the outside of the beer ladder there are taps D in the appropriate number depending on the size of the apparatus.

The taps D are connected to the actual bottle filling taps F by rubber tubes.

The bottle filling taps are specially constructed, double-threaded metal taps, which are fastened in the lid G of the bottle stand H in such a way that they can be moved up and down as required by the lever mechanism J fitted there.

The double passageway mentioned above on the bottle filling cock goes over into two separate lines K after passing the cock vortex, namely the beer line from the keg through the beer ladder to the bottle filling cocks is established through the upper tube, while the lower tube provides air communication between the others Parts of the apparatus.

The cylindrical metal tube L resting on the base of the stand serves as a reservoir for the accumulation of a larger quantity of compressed air and, with its longitudinally upright taps M, is connected to the air line of the bottle filling taps through rubber hoses.

The mouths of the bottle filling taps are surrounded by a conical downward tap Rubber sleeve, which by downward movement of the lever mechanism already mentioned in the each bottle neck is firmly pressed in and thus forms a hermetic closure.

Also, in order to use different grofse bottles, provided the bottles stand on its two side parts with a RegulatoriV ', which by means of the distance from the lever mechanism to the floor can be regulated according to the tripod mounted Scala O.

The already mentioned air reservoir on the base of the stand is provided on both sides with a stopcock, of which the left-hand P is connected to the air pump required for operation by means of a rubber tube Q serving as an extension.

The stopcock on the right if ¹ is only used for the necessary cleaning of the air tank, while the vertical 5 establishes the connection to the pressure gauge T.

The end of the air line is formed by the air pump and with the barrel

valve U communicating upper rubber hose V.

This Fafsventilst can by means of a regulating screw located on the same depending on Be opened or closed as required.

From this description of the construction of the apparatus made here, on the one hand, is the The process in which the beer is piped from the keg into the bottle itself can be seen, on the other hand, we believe that we have clearly explained in what way the air circulation takes place.

By in the manner described above on the surface of the draining into the bottles The counter air pressure generated by the beer causes the beer to foam and escape Carbon dioxide completely prevented.

The device is used as follows:

After the beer keg intended for tapping has been stored approx. ₂ m above the ground, the tap is driven in in the usual manner at the tap hole.

Before the faucet is brought into contact with the apparatus by means of the socket screw connection on the beer ladder, one assures oneself whether the confluence of the faucet communicates with the faucet contents, which can be determined by draining about Y ₂ liters of beer.

If the connection is made in the above-mentioned manner, the barrel bung becomes one Drilled through a thickness of 5 to 6 mm and in this hole the Fafsventil up to the flange firmly driven. In this process it must be especially pointed out that the drilling of the barrel bung may only be partial, in order to prevent any escape of To prevent carbonic acid.

After this, attach the rubber hoses from the air pump in such a way that that the upper (drum hose) on the drum valve and the lower (apparatus hose) on the left-hand side Cock of the air reservoir is attached.

Now open the cock of the air pump, the cock of the air reservoir and the cock leading to the manometer. and then let the air be compressed so that the manometer shows a minimum of 1Y ₂ atmospheres pressure.

First there will be the barrel valve, then the barrel tap and the taps of the beer line opened carefully so that the beer is fed to the bottle filling taps. After this the bottles to be filled are placed in the stand by moving the lever mechanism downwards the outlet of the bottle filling taps fitted into the neck of the bottle, the taps connected to the bottle filling taps of the Air reservoirs and finally the bottle filling taps themselves turned on, whereupon the inflow of the beer and air circulation begins.

Remarkable!! appears that the surface of the beer draining into the bottles sometimes with the first three or four bottles is covered with a foam, which naturally developed in the barrel. The next Bottles, however, will fill up clearly without foam.

The apparatus is thus perfectly intact in its operation, but after a few bottles have been filled the manometer will show an air pressure lower than that determined at 1 and ₂ atmospheres, and a restoration of normal pressure is then necessary. But now the pressure will only decrease a little after a few hundred bottles have been filled. The normal pressure is then restored by means of the air pump.

After removing it from the filling valve, each filled bottle is made available by means of a stand-by one Cork machine immediately corked well.

With some practice, as described above, a single man can operate a Fill and cork an apparatus of three straws per hour at a minimum of 250 bottles.

The advantages of using this bottle filling device are that it can be transported of the beer (even at a great distance), since the beer has nothing to do with its degree of stability and its carbonic acidity and because of the air pressure generated in the bottles as well as in the faucet Not only does it prevent the beer from foaming in the bottles, but also a The carbon dioxide cannot escape or remain in the fafsraum itself.
