- the device 200 can also have an electronic controller 6, as described above, which via data lines and / or signal lines 9, identified here by way of example by a dot-dash designation, for the exchange or transmission of data and commands in communication with the at least one measuring sensor system 10 or the measuring devices / measuring sensors 3, 4, 5, 9 can stand.
- an electronic controller 6 as described above, which via data lines and / or signal lines 9, identified here by way of example by a dot-dash designation, for the exchange or transmission of data and commands in communication with the at least one measuring sensor system 10 or the measuring devices / measuring sensors 3, 4, 5, 9 can stand.
- the exemplary electronic control 6 can be configured to control the device or the filling system 1 for filling the liquid product into a container on the basis of a relationship, as described above, between the density of the liquid product 102 to be filled as a function of the measurement sensors 10, 3, 4, 5, 9 measured temperature of the liquid product 102 to be filled.
- the exemplary electronic control 6, as described above, can calculate the amount to be filled into the container, e.g. a weight amount and / or a volume amount, of the liquid product to be filled on the basis of the measurement sensor system 10 or the measurement devices / measurement sensors 3 , 4, 5, 6, 9 measured temperature of the liquid product 102 to be filled during the filling process and taking into account the specific relationship between the density of the liquid product to be filled as a function of the temperature of the liquid product to be filled.
- the exemplary electronic control 6 of the device 200 can have a computer processor.
- the electronic control 6 can access a data memory in which empirically and / or theoretically certain relationships of the density of the liquid product to be filled as a function of the temperature of the liquid product to be filled can be stored, for example in the form of tables and / or Density curves, whereby, for example, as described above, the relationships between the density of the liquid product to be filled as a function of the temperature or the density curves can be described in the form of approximate equations.
- the electronic control 6 can also be configured to meter or fill, for example gravimetric or volumetric filling, of the liquid product via the calculated amount of the liquid product to be filled into the container via the filling system / filler / filler 1 or via the filling elements / filling valves 2 to be controlled.
- product-specific data such as B. (specific or relative) density and the product at a reference temperature in the process side of the product preparation by suitable inline measuring devices 11, or in the laboratory 12 per product batch can be determined and either the controller 6 by signal exchange, or by input by the operator the control 6 are transmitted.
- the electronic control can in turn calculate and set the target volume or target mass for the product to be filled, so that the filling quantities can be adjusted again based on a specified reference temperature.
- This exemplary method can be particularly suitable for batch production, since it has been found that the specific density of the product is relatively constant within a batch and can only vary as a result of temperature changes.
