Abstract

L'invention concerne un élément de remplissage (1) permettant de remplir par jet libre des bouteilles (2) ou des récipients similaires d'un liquide de remplissage. Ledit élément de remplissage comprend au moins une sortie de liquide de remplissage (8), qui est agencée sur un boîtier d'élément de remplissage (5) et par laquelle, lors du remplissage, le liquide de remplissage s'écoule sous la forme d'un jet libre de manière commandée par une soupape à liquide (9) vers le récipient respectif dont l'orifice (2.1) est agencé sous la sortie de liquide de remplissage (8), la section transversale du jet étant égale ou sensiblement égale à la section transversale d'ouverture efficace de la sortie de liquide de remplissage (8). L'élément de remplissage comprend également un support de récipient (18) servant à maintenir le récipient respectif sous la sortie de liquide de remplissage (8), l'orifice du récipient (2.1) étant maintenu à une certaine distance axiale de la sortie de liquide de remplissage (8) par rapport à un axe vertical de l'élément de remplissage (FA). L'élément de remplissage comprend également un élément de limitation et de guidage de liquide de remplissage (20, 20a), qui est agencé, au moins pendant le remplissage par jet libre, entre le boîtier d'élément de remplissage (5) et le récipient de manière à entourer au moins en partie le jet de remplissage (3).
