If the container at the non-pressurized jet filling but with his container mouth on the filling element, so a gas path establishes a connection between the interior of the container and the environment, whereby a non-pressurized filling is made possible.
- the gas contained in the container and displaced by the beverage flowing into the container escapes into the environment via this gas path. If the free-jet filling under a different pressure from the ambient pressure, the container is pressed with its mouth against the filling element and sealed, the pressure in the interior of the container is adjusted by applying a clamping gas or by applying a vacuum to this, deviating from the ambient pressure , which can be both above and below the ambient pressure.
