- the present invention also relates to a machine configured for filling containers with a pourable product, in particular a pourable product.
- Machines for the movement and handling of containers adapted to contain a pourable product, preferably a pourable food product, are known.
- Such machines typically comprise a number of handling and/or treatment units, each configured to perform a predetermined operation encompassed within a treating process of the above-mentioned containers.
- the known machines usually comprise:
- blowing unit configured to obtain fully-formed containers, such as bottles, starting from known preforms made of plastic material
- a filling unit configured to fill the containers with a predetermined amount of pourable product
- a capping unit configured to apply a closure (i.e. a cap) to each container previously filled;
- a labelling unit configured to apply labels onto containers.
- the machines usually comprise a series of transfer units and/or conveying units, configured to transfer and/or advance the containers between each of, and within each of, the above handling units.
- the above- mentioned handling units are arranged in succession with respect to one another along a curved processing path, along which the containers are advanced, from the first handling unit (typically the blowing unit) to the last handling unit (typically the labelling unit), and with respective transfer units arranged in between each couple of successive handling units.
- both the handling units and the transfer units are usually of the rotary type (carousel like wheels).
- a second known type of layout is the so-called linear machine layout, in which the handling units are arranged in succession with respect to one another along a linear processing path.
- the transfer unit is defined by a linear conveyor arranged beneath the succession of handling units, and comprising a plurality of receiving portions, each defining a seat configured to receive one single container to be treated. Therefore, the handling units are configured to handle and/or treat the succession of containers from above, while the containers are advanced by the linear conveyor.
- the linear layout has the advantage of being simple, compact and devoid of rotary components.
- the known filling units comprise a number of flow measurement devices, such as flowmeters, configured to measure the flow of pourable product fed into each container.

- conveying members 8 are movable in a levitating manner along working surface 5 at distance A from working surface 5.
- solenoids 15 are biased, in use, with a given current, so as to produce (in a well-known manner) a magnetic field and cause the conveying members 8, carrying respective permanent magnets 16, to magnetically couple with solenoids 15 and, therefore, to move and levitate above working surface 5.
- permanent magnets 16 could be embedded in table 4 and each solenoid 15 could be carried by one respective conveying member 8.
- conveying members 8 and table 4 define together a linear motor for moving and levitating conveying members 8 respectively along and above working surface 5, thereby conveying containers 2 along and above working surface 5 from input station I to output station 0 and at filling unit 3a, capping unit 3b and labelling unit 3c.
- each conveying member 8 is configured to translate along working surface 5 and to rotate about its own axis. More in particular, the rotation can be useful during certain handling/treatment operations, such as capping or labelling, in which a rotation of containers 2 is needed.
- conveying members 8 are movable along working surface 5 according to a movement scheme selectable among a series of movement schemes each one of which is correlated to a given spatial arrangement of handling units 3 with respect to table 4.

- conveying members 8 are controlled to convey containers 2 first to filling unit 3a, then selectively to the two capping units 3b, so that these latter can operate in parallel, and then to labelling unit 3c.
- conveying members 8 which are controllable to move freely and independently from one another along working surface 5 of table 4, by means of magnetic-inductive device 14.
- machine 1 allows to easily handle/treat containers 2 in parallel for a particular handling/treating process, without the need for complicated control of conveying members 8 and cumbersome modification to the machine 1 itself. This can allow to avoid or at least to mitigate the harsh effect of so- called "bottleneck" operations encompassed within the handling/treatment process.
- conveying members 8 follow, in use, a closed-loop path, i.e. each conveying member 8, after releasing the treated container 2 at output station 0, is controlled to move at input station I, at which it receives a new container 2 to be handled/treated.
- a closed-loop path i.e. each conveying member 8, after releasing the treated container 2 at output station 0, is controlled to move at input station I, at which it receives a new container 2 to be handled/treated.

- Such a variation, in particular an increase, of the given current is necessary to counteract the increasing pulling action of gravity on the increasing mass of the system defined by the container 2 and its increasing content of pourable product during filling, thereby maintaining conveying member 8 at distance A from working surface 5.
- control unit 30 is operatively connected to filling unit 3 and table 4, in particular solenoids 15, as schematically shown in Figures 1, 2, 4 and 5a to 5c.

- control unit 30 controls the interruption of the filling operation.
- the above operations define a method for filling containers 2 with a pourable product according to the present invention.
- conveying member 8 conveys container 2 at the other handling units 3, if any (for example capping unit 3b and labelling unit 3c), and eventually at output station 0, at which container 2 is withdrawn from conveying member 8 by output device 7.
- conveying member 8 is controlled to move again at input station I to receive the next container 2 to be handled/treated.
- machine 1 eliminates the need for certain components during the filling operation, such as flowmeters, which are slow in response compared to the above configuration.
