Abstract
A device for filling a container with a carbonated filling product in a beverage filling system is described. The device includes a gas valve for supplying a gas into the container, the gas valve being biased by a gas valve spring in a specified switch state, and a filling valve for supplying the filling product into the container, the filling valve being biased by a filling valve spring in a specified switch state. The gas valve and the filling valve are operatively connected to a common actuator for switching between an open and a closed switch state, and the gas valve spring applies a spring force which differs from that of the filling valve spring.
Claims17
A device for filling a container with a carbonated filling product in a beverage filling system, comprising:
- a gas valve configured to supply a gas into the container, wherein the gas valve is biased by a gas valve spring in a specified switch state and the gas valve spring biases the gas valve in an open switch state;
- and
- a filling valve configured to supply the carbonated filling product into the container, wherein the filling valve is biased by a filling valve spring in a specified switch state and the filling valve spring biases the filling valve in the open switch state,
- wherein the gas valve and the filling valve are operatively connected to a single actuator configured to switch the gas valve and the filling valve between the open switch state and a closed switch state, and
- wherein the gas valve spring applies a spring force which is greater than a spring force applied by the filling valve spring.
