- the rotary type usually provided in filling machines type construction is not required for the supply of the liquid filling material to the rotor. This results in a considerable structural simplification not only by eliminating the usual rotary feedthrough, but also by reducing the Verrohrungsaufwandes and by reducing the necessary rotating seals.
- the filling machine according to the invention only the product vessel is formed co-rotating with the rotor, while the lid is not co-rotating with the rotor, i. firmly held on the machine frame.
- the transition between the lid and the Gregutkessel is sealed by at least one seal against ingress of substances, media and in particular germs from the outside into the interior of the product container, so that the filling machine as an aseptic machine, i. is suitable as a filling machine for aseptic filling of contents in containers.
- a variety of filling methods are possible, including including a pressureless filling of the container, wherein the gas chamber formed in the Gregutkessel then preferably only with a slight overpressure, for example, with an overpressure of about 40mbar to 60mbar, preferably with an overpressure of about 50mbar is applied , but also a pressure filling the Container when loading the gas space in the product vessel with a correspondingly higher pressure.
- the inventive construction is further a simplified cleaning and / or disinfection of the filling machine and in particular also the
- Aseptic machines means the inventive training a safety plus, since risky areas are minimized.
- the corresponding medium also, for example, hot water vapor
- the corresponding medium is preferably tangential to one in relation to the vertical axis of the machine
