  • a liquid filling material for example, beer, soft drinks, etc.
  • the sealing layer between the respective arranged below a filling element on or on a container carrier container and the filling element by lowering a Abdichttulpe on the container, which then with a seal sealed against the opening edge of the container in question and thereby a ua creates the container opening and the discharge opening of the filling element enclosing, sealed to the outside space.
  • the sealing tulip formed by an annular body is displaceably arranged on a housing section of the filling element housing in the direction of a filling element axis, namely between a raised position and the lowered position.
  • the displacement of the Abdichttulpe is preferably controlled by control means, which are formed in particular by control rods.
  • filling machines which have a clean room separated from the environment in which the actual filling of the container takes place.
  • the filling elements extend at least partially from an area in which lower purity requirements exist in the clean room.
  • the mechanical control of the control means by an actuator outside the clean room whereas the Abdichttulpe to be moved is within the clean room. Therefore, it is necessary that the control means extend from the region of lower purity requirements into the clean room, ie penetrate the interface between these areas. These penetrations may interfere with the separation between the two named areas.
  • the object of the invention is to show a filling element which enables an optimized separation of the clean room from the area with lower purity requirements and thus a high-purity filling of the filling material is ensured.
  • a filling element according to the patent claim 1 is formed.
