Filling device

Abstract

Provided is a filling device for preventing an upward bulge on the upper surface of filled contents or preventing uneven filling within a container while realizing a simpler device configuration, a higher degree of design freedom, and a lower manufacturing load. Provided is a filling device (10) provided with a filling nozzle (20) having a nozzle hole (23), a contents-supplying means (30) for supplying contents (B) to the nozzle hole (23), a plunger (40) disposed within the nozzle hole (23) so as to be capable of moving vertically, and an air-supplying means (50) for supplying air (A). The filling nozzle (20) has formed therein an air inflow port (25) connected to the air-supplying means (50), an air outflow port (26) that opens into the nozzle hole (23), and an air flow channel (27). Theair (A) supplied from the air-supplying means (50) is jetted to the lower end of the filling nozzle (20) from the gap between the inner peripheral surface of the nozzle hole (23) and the outer peripheral surface of the plunger (40).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a filling device for filling a container with content, and particularly relates to a filling device for filling a container with viscous content. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, as a filling device for filling viscous contents such as processed meat products into a container, the following filling device 110 is known, such as Figure 4 As shown, the filling device 110 includes: a filling nozzle 120 having a nozzle hole 123 formed in the vertical direction and opening downward; a content supply unit 130 that supplies the content to the nozzle hole 123; and a plunger 140, It is disposed in the nozzle hole 123 so as to be able to move up and down (for example, refer to Patent Document 1). [0003] In this filling device 110, a fixed amount of content is supplied to the nozzle hole 123 by the content supply unit 130, and the content in the nozzle hole 123 is pressed downward by the plunger 140, thereby filling...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0011] And, especially as a problem that is likely to occur in the case of viscous contents, the problem of difficulty in filling the contents into every corner of the container C uniformly without gaps can be cited. If there is a gap in the container C, the content may deteriorate. If the container C is not filled uniformly, the content will adhere to the flange C1 of the container and be sandwiched between the container and the lid, which may cause damage to the sealing performance.
