Method and device for filling a fill product

Abstract

A method for filling with a filling product, for example for filling with a beverage in a beverage filling plant by the free jet method, includes supplying a flow of filling product through a fillingproduct supply line by opening a filling valve disposed in the filling product supply line and opening an associated regulating valve for regulating a volume flow, and closing the regulating valve andthe filling valve in order to end the flow of filling product at the end of filling. The closing of the regulating valve and the filling valve are synchronized. A corresponding device is also described.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method and a device for filling filling products, preferably for filling beverages in beverage filling installations with the free jet method. Background technique [0002] Methods and devices are known for free-spray filling of beverages, in which the volume flow of the beverage can be achieved and interrupted by opening and closing the filling valve. The container to be filled is located below the filling valve at a distance from the filling product outlet, so that when the filling valve is open, beverage can enter the container in a free jet through the container opening of the container. If the container is filled with a beverage, the filling valve is closed, thereby interrupting the filling product flow accordingly. In this case it is known to determine the quantity of filling product filled by means of a flow meter associated with the filling valve. [0003] In order to be able to achieve as accurate a filling result ...

Problems solved by technology

However, regulating valves generally have different closing times than filling valves

If the filling valve reaches the fully closed position before the regulating valve, the aforementioned pressure shocks and splashing of the filling product can result
