Abstract
A rotary-machine type device for filling a filling medium, in particular a food, into a multiplicity of containers. The device includes a drive unit and a multiplicity of container receptacles, which are each designed for receiving a container and are rotatable about a vertical axis V by the drive unit 10. The device further includes at least one functional unit, which may be a container destacking unit, a container filling unit, a container covering unit, a container sealing unit, a container printing unit, a container inspection unit, or a container discharge unit. The at least one functional unit is mechanically coupled to the drive unit.
