  • Filling elements for filling containers in particular for filling bottles with a liquid product, such as beverage, are in different
  • a disadvantage of known processes is that the filling material (Trinox liquid) displaced from the respective container via the Trinox tube is returned to the product vessel (for example ring bowl) which provides the filling material, i.a. with the risk that contaminated filling material from this container passes back into the product vessel due to its contact with a contaminated container.
  • the product vessel for example ring bowl
  • Trinox filling method avoids the aforementioned disadvantages, ie contamination of the filling material in the product by recirculated product.
