WO 2010/037,356 Al PCT/DE2009/00),026 FILLING METHOD AND DEVICE
The invention pertains to a method for filling containers with liquid, which is supplied to the container through a filling valve and a filling nozzle.
The invention also pertains to a device for filling containers with a liquid, the device comprising at least one filling valve and at least one filling nozzle.
Many different filling devices and methods of this type for filling cartons and bottles, for example, are known. An essential goal of implementing a filling method is to fill the container both rapidly and reliably. So that a container an be filled rapidly, it is helpful to avoid or to reduce as much as possible the formation of foam during the filling operation.
A problem with the filling of containers with a non-circular cross-sectional shape results from the fact that the distance between the filling nozzle, which is centrally located in most cases, and the inside walls differs, depending on the solid angle in question, and this promotes the formation of foam.

By designing the geometry of the guide element so that the entire edge of the guide element extends along and a short distance away from the inside walls of the container, the liquid flowing along the guide element is directed against the inside walls of the container and can then flow uniformly down these walls. The design of the guide element, furthermore, ensures the uniform distribution of the liquid, so that that equal volume flow rates are supplied to essentially all areas of the inside periphery of the container. As a result, the container can be filled more rapidly and more uniformly without the formation of significant amounts of foam.

A typical filling operation of non-circular containers involves the filling of a container made of paperboard material.
4 An additional way to ensure a uniform filling operation is to use deflector surfaces on the guides to keep the liquid away from the edges of the container, as a result of which the air displaced from the interior of the containet can escape upwards along the container edges.
It is especially effective for the air deflector elements to be positioned in the area of the corners of the guide element.
It is also possible to ensure rapid venting during the filling operation by the use of a hollow-bore valve shaft.
