  • free-jet filling is to be understood as meaning a process in which the liquid filling material of the can to be filled flows in a free filling material jet, the can with its can opening not bearing against the filling element but being spaced from the filling element or from a filling element outlet opening there ,
  • the filling device is designed for a free-jet hot filling or hot-aseptic free jet filling of the cans, in which the filling material is introduced into the cans in the hot state in a free Medgutstrahl.
  • the filling device 1 which is designed for pressureless filling or free jet filling, preferably for free jet hot filling of cans with a carbonated liquid, comprises a rotor 2 that can be driven circumferentially about a vertical machine axis MA and has a plurality of can receptacles 2.1.
  • the respective can shots 2.1 associated filling elements 4 are provided, each forming together with the respective associated can shots 2.1 a plurality of filling points.
  • the filling elements 4 are spaced from each other at fixed angular intervals provided on an annular Greelementong 3, wherein the Greelementvic 3 is fixed to the rotor 2 and is rotatably driven together with this about the vertical machine axis MA.
  • the doses are 5, as in Fig. 1 indicated by the arrow labeled BS, at a can task eg in a radial direction relative to the Inserted machine axis MA, so that in each case a can 5 is arranged on a can receptacle 2.1 with its bottom can 5.1 and resting with its can axis parallel to the machine axis MA.
  • each associated filling element 4 is provided, the u.a. has a Greet- or Golfelementauslass 4.1, which is arranged above the can opening 5.2 and spaced therefrom.
  • the rotor 2 and the Artelementlini 3 are synchronously driven circumferentially about the machine axis MA, so that upon rotation of the rotor 2, the can 5 is always centered with its can opening 5.2 below the Greelementauslasses 4.1 of the filling element 4 and thus in the between the can task and the dose delivery angle range of the rotational movement of the rotor 2 can be filled with the medium or with the liquid.
  • the filling elements 4 are each in a conventional manner via pipes with a arranged above the Greelement constitutives 3 ring boiler 3.1 for receiving the contents in combination.
  • a liquid valve is provided in each case, which is opened and closed to achieve the desired level and / or capacity in the can 5 controlled.
  • each can 5 is at least partially fixed circumferentially relative to the rotor 2 and / or the Golfelementlini 3, namely mechanically and / or by means of a on the Can bottom 5.1 acting negative pressure.
