Free-jet filling for a container with a multi-component filling product

An apparatus for free-jet filling of a container with a filling product, comprising:

• a container holder configured to hold the container during filling, wherein the container comprises a container wall and a container bottom;
• and
• a filling device having an orifice section comprising a plurality of product outlets, the filling device configured to introduce a plurality of product components of the filling product into the container so that the plurality of product components crosses a free-jet region at least in a temporally overlapping manner,
• wherein:
• the plurality of product components comprises a main component and an additional component, and the main component comprises carbonated water,
• the orifice section is configured so that each product component crosses the free-jet region in a separate product jet so that a mixing of the product components in the filling device or in a falling product jet does not take place, and the plurality of product components mix only in the container,
• the container holder is configured to hold the container obliquely during filling so that the plurality of product components impinge on the container wall after crossing the free-jet region, and
• the orifice section and the container holder are configured so that the plurality of product components, after impinging on the container wall, runs as a film along the container wall in a direction of the container bottom, and the film wets a segment of a periphery of the container.
