- Lower end 17 of tubular body 11 is adapted to contact in use the top neck 6 of the receptacle 3 to be filled, so as to put the inlet/outlet mouth of the receptacle 3 itself in fluidic connection with outlet opening 18.
- lower end 17 comprises an annular gasket 20 defining in use an abutment for neck 6 of the respective receptacle 3 and configured to sealingly close the latter during the filling process. In this way, the interior of such receptacle 3 is maintained in a sealed condition during the filling thereof with the pourable product.
- a filling valve 8 of the above-described type is known as a "contact filling valve", suitable for performing a contact filling operation.
- support means 10 are configured to receive and retain one relative receptacle 3 in a suspended position with its axis A coaxial to axis B of the tubular body 11.
- support means 10 comprise a gripping member 21, arranged below filling valve 8 and configured to retain a relative receptacle 3 by its neck 6, and actuator means 22 for moving gripping member 21, and therefore receptacle 3, towards and away from annular gasket 20 of lower end 17 of tubular body 11.
- channel 12 comprises, in correspondence with lower end 17 of tubular body 11, a tapered-section portion 23 located at a given axial distance from, and above, outlet opening 18 and tapering towards the latter. More specifically, tapered-section portion 23 is defined by a frustum-conical inner surface of channel 12, which tapers from an upper, substantially cylindrical, inner surface 24 of the channel 12 itself.
- shutter 13 is housed coaxially within channel 12 of tubular body 11 and comprises a substantially cylindrical main portion 26 and an axial end portion 28 connected to main portion 26 by a frustum-conical portion 29.

- return conduit 35 comprises an inlet mouth 38, which opens in use into the inner volume of the respective receptacle, when the latter is in the above-mentioned sealed condition, with neck 6 axially abutted onto gasket 20. Furthermore, return conduit 35 comprises an outlet mouth 39 communicating with the relative chamber.
- return conduit 35 comprises, proceeding from inlet mouth 38 towards outlet mouth 39:
- shutter 13 is further provided with a swirler 44.
- swirler 44 is located in correspondence with end portion 28 of shutter 13, between tapered section 29 and closing head 27.
- swirler 44 is located upstream f gas conveying portion 41 with reference to the motion of the pourable product towards the respective receptacle 3 to be filled.
- swirler 44 has a substantially cylindrical configuration and is provided with a plurality of slanted (with respect to axis B) blades 45 configured to impart a swirling movement to the pourable product flowing therebetween.
- Blades 45 define, between each other, respective guiding channels 46 through which the pourable product is guided, acquiring the swirling movement, prior to flow towards the respective receptacle 3 through outlet opening 18.
- swirler 44 is formed integral with shutter 13.
- gas conveying portion 41 of return conduit 35 is surrounded by an outer surface 47 having, in the area contacted in use by the pourable product, a beveled configuration for guiding the swirling movement of the pourable product itself.
- outer surface 47 comprises, in the area contacted in use by the pourable product, an upper beveled edge 48 and a lower beveled edge 49, for guiding the flow of the swirling pourable product.
- gas conveying portion 41 of return conduit 35 is supported by a shaped body 50, defining the outer surface 47 and, therefore, comprising upper beveled edge 48 and lower beveled edge 49.
- outer surface 47 may be directly defined by gas conveying portion 41.
- gas conveying portion 41 may be supported by a shaped body, defining only partially outer surface 47; the remaining part of outer surface 47 may be directly defined by gas conveying portion 41.
- filling device 1 The operation of filling device 1 is described hereinafter with reference to a single receptacle 3 and starting from a condition in which such receptacle 3 is fed to carousel 4 of filling machine 2 in order to be filled with a pourable product.
- receptacle 3 is retained at its neck 6 by gripping member 21, in vertical position with its axis A coaxial to axis B of the filling valve 8, and may be also supported at its bottom wall by a respective lower support plate (not shown) of carousel 4.
- Receptacle 3 is coupled with tubular body 11 in a fluid-tight manner by activating actuator means 22 so as to raise gripping member 21 towards filling valve 8 up to bring neck 6 into contact with annular gasket 20 of lower end 17.
- actuator means 22 so as to raise gripping member 21 towards filling valve 8 up to bring neck 6 into contact with annular gasket 20 of lower end 17.
- shutter 13 of filling valve 8 is set to the lower closed position within channel 12 of tubular body 11.
- receptacle 3 is subjected to a pressurization step, by means of pressurization conduit 36, up to the moment in which the pressure in receptacle 3 reaches a desired level.
- This desired pressure level corresponds to the pressure level of the carbonated pourable product in the product tank and defines the requested condition for starting the filling operation.
- shutter 13 is moved to its upper open position ( Figure 3 ); in this way, a gap between tapered-section portion 23 of channel 12 and closing head 27 of shutter 13 is established, allowing the pourable product to flow towards receptacle 3, through outlet opening 18.
- the movement of shutter 13 is achieved by activating driving linear actuator 34 which controls unit 32; by effect of the magnetic coupling between permanent magnets 31a of unit 31 and permanent magnets 32a of unit 32, the translating motion of this latter unit determines a corresponding axial motion of the shutter 13 itself within channel 12 of tubular body 11.
- shutter 13 is moved to its initial lower closed position.
- the next step is the decompression phase of receptacle 3, achieved connecting the receptacle 3 itself with decompression conduit 37 and with the decompression chamber.
- the beveled configuration of outer surface 47 ensures a non-hampered, swirling flow of the pourable product over gas conveying portion 41, in all the cases in which such gas conveying portion 41 crosses transversally channel 12; in this way, it is possible to limit the formation of undesired foam into the respective receptacle 3 during filling.
- swirler 44 is formed integral with shutter 13, the total number of components present the in filling device 1 itself is reduced and the overall reliability is increased.
