Abstract
Method and filling device for filling a container with a filling product, in a beverage filling system, wherein the method comprises: determining one or more changeable influence variables which influence a target variable of the filling process, a filling level and/or a filling volume; receiving the influence variables by means of a control apparatus; calculating at least one output variable from the received influence variables by means of a calculation model of the control apparatus; and filling the container as a function of the at least one output variable.
Claims18
A method for filling a container with a filling product in a beverage filling system, the method comprising:
- determining one or more changeable influence variables that influence a target variable of a filling process, the target variable being a filling level and/or a filling volume;
- receiving the influence variables by way of a control apparatus;
- calculating, by the control apparatus, at least one output variable based on the received influence variables using a calculation model, wherein the calculation model undertakes a pre-calculation as to which value is to be anticipated for the target variable as a function of the received influence variables and determines the at least one output variable from the value anticipated for the target variable;
- and
- filling the container as a function of the at least one output variable.
A filling device for filling a container with a filling product in a beverage filling system, the filling device comprising:
- a filling member with a filling product line configured to introduce the filling product into the container;
- a sensor configured to determine one or more changeable influence variables that influence a target variable of a filling process, the target variable being a filling level and/or a filling volume;
- and
- a control apparatus configured to:
- receive the determined influence variables,
- calculate at least one output variable based on the received influence variables using a calculation model, wherein the calculation model undertakes a pre-calculation as to which value is to be anticipated for the target variable as a function of the received influence variables and determines the at least one output variable from the value anticipated for the target variable, and
- activate the filling member such that the container is filled as a function of the at least one output variable.
