- energizing equipment 22 is advantageously configured to power supply coil 21 of stator 19, when shutter 16 is in the closed position and filling apparatus 1 is in stand-by, to cause the pourable product contained in flowing channel 11 to be heated-up at pre-set temperature T.
- energizing equipment 22 comprises an electric power supply unit 50, configured to selectively supply an electric current to coil 21 of stator 19, and a control unit 51, configured to control activation/deactivation of electric power supply unit 50 as well as intensity and direction of the electric current supplied to the coil 21.
- Energizing equipment 22 further comprises a sensor device 52 detecting the temperature within coil 21 of stator 19; the power energy, and in particular the electric current, supplied by electric power supply unit 50 to coil 21 of stator 19 is controlled by control unit 51 as a function of the temperature detected by sensor device 52 within coil 21.
- a part, generally tending to zero, of the power energy supplied by energizing equipment 22 to coil 21 of stator 19, when shutter 16 is in the closed position and filling apparatus 1 is in stand-by, is used to maintain the shutter 16 itself in the closed position, whilst the rest of said power energy supplied to the coil 21 of the stator 19 is used to heat-up the pourable product contained in flowing channel 11.
- energizing equipment 22 operates in two different working conditions: a first working condition, in which a low power dissipation occurs, and a second working condition, in which a high power dissipation occurs.
- the first working condition is used to keep shutter 16 in the closed position during normal production of filled bottles 2, whilst the second working condition is used to keep shutter 16 in the closed position and to heat the pourable product by dissipating electric power during any stand-by condition of filling apparatus 1.
- filling apparatus 1 The operation of filling apparatus 1 is described hereafter starting from a condition in which the shutter 16 is arranged in the open position, i.e. its end portion 48 is detached from sealing zone 33 of end portion 27 of tubular casing 23 and defines a gap with the latter so as to permit free flow of the pourable product through delivery mouth 14.
- coil 21 is energized with a given electrical current, typically with a very low value of current.
- an additional magnet should be provided in an appropriate position, for instance close to plate 35, to maintain the core 20 in a position displaced towards sealing zone 33.
- the filing apparatus 1 is set in a condition of stand-by with the shutter 16 in the closed position.
- energizing equipment 22 power supplies coil 21 of stator 19 with an additional amount of electric power with respect to the amount necessary to maintain the shutter 16 in the closed position.
- This additional amount of electric power supplied to coil 21 is dissipated to heat-up the pourable product in flowing channel 11 at pre-set temperature T with sensor device 52 and/or further additional temperature sensors installed into coil 21 and/or into the sleeve 24.
- the pourable product contained in the flowing channel 11 may be kept at the pre-set temperature T without any need to recirculate it; even the valve 8 can be maintained at the required temperature.
