Double flaps device and method for cleaning of such a double flaps device

摘要

The invention relates to a double flaps device (1, 1 '') for tightly connecting two containers (3; 5) with two housing halves (10; 20), between which a detachable connection can be made, in each case of a flap (12; 22) per housing half (10; 20), the pivotably in the associated housing half (10; 20) is mounted, wherein in a connecting position of the double flaps device (1) the housing halves (10; 20) and the flaps (12; 22) are in contact with each other and are braced with respect to one another. The two flaps (12; 22) are in the form of double flap between a closed position and an open position, wherein in the open position a free-flowing product in a direction of flow (d) of a first (3) in a second (5) of the containers (3, 5) is transferable. In this case, the double flaps device (1, 1 '') is at least one device (100) for cleaning at least one of the flaps (12; 22) and a flaps space (15, 25).The present invention also relates to a method for cleaning of flaps (12; 22) of a double flaps device (1, 1 '') having the features of claim 1, with in the flow direction (d) in front of and behind the flaps (12; 22) arranged a locking means (72, 72''; 82, 82 '') for limiting the flaps space (15, 25).
