A force resulting from the pressure of the filling material and holding the valve seat 8 in its closed position, which would correspond approximately to the opening cross section of the flow regulating valve 5 multiplied by the filling pressure of the filling material, need not be overcome when the flow control valve 5 is opened. Only after the opening of the flow control valve 5, the check valve 6 is opened, so that then the liquid product via the discharge opening 4 can flow to the container 2.
- the volume flow of the filling material flowing to the container 2 is controlled and / or regulated via the flow control valve 5 actuated by the actuator 9, for example in the form that the volume flow at the beginning and / or end of the filling phase is reduced by reducing the opening cross section of the flow control valve 5 is reduced for a slow filling and / or residual filling.
