- a double valve arrangement with two hose clamping valves which can be controlled in opposite directions to each other, in one of which the Main line and in which other the branch line is inserted, go through.
- the object is further achieved in connection with the features of the preamble of claim 7, characterized in that in a second filling step remaining in the main line
- Residual liquid is filled into the residual amount container by the associated target container valve opened, the
- Hose clamp valve of the double valve arrangement closed and the branch line by means of the associated
- Hose clamping valve of the double valve assembly is opened, so that compressed gas from the compressed gas source presses the residual liquid in the residual quantity container.
- the invention manifests itself first in a modification of both the manifold and the filling device. Both modifications must be coordinated.
- a branching point is arranged in the region of the supply line so that the actual supply line continues to be connected to the storage container and the branching branch line to a compressed gas source, e.g. Connected to a compressed air compressor.
- the filling device preferably the valve carrier
- a double valve arrangement which in a preferred embodiment is designed as a common valve unit.
- This double valve arrangement comprises two hose clamp valves, in one of which the actual supply line and in the other the branch line is inserted. It is important that both individual valves of the double valve arrangement can preferably be controlled independently, but at least oppositely to each other.
- a method for completing a filling process selected when the desired number of target containers filled in the known manner and a remainder container has remained unfilled. At this stage, the
- Target container valve of the residual quantity container opened, the supply line closed and the connection to the compressed gas source produced. Then the compressed gas presses in the
- Residual container so that it can be secured and used in a suitable manner.
- Compressed gas inlet and the waste container is, so that the Maximum amount of residual liquid can be pressed into the residue tank.
- a gas-permeable sterile filter is integrated in the branch line. This ensures that by the compressed gas no
- a sterile filter in the branch line can in a variant of the invention, in which a derivative of the main line and is arranged downstream of the trunk line in a linear connection, the sterile filter on the trunk line facing side of the
- Valve carrier further comprises a main valve with which a volume flow from the supply line is controlled in the master line.
- a main valve with which a volume flow from the supply line is controlled in the master line.
- Dual valve arrangement is functionally equipped so that it can take over the task of the conventional main valve.
- Main valve can control the flow in several stages.
- valve carrier further comprise an outlet valve, with which a volume flow between the main line and the discharge (if
