The present invention refers no a plant for filling bottles or containers with continuous calibration and to a continuous calibration method of such a plant. The calibration method (100) is characterised in that it comprises the steps consisting of collecting (110) at least one set of data relating to filling and/or closing parameters of containers or bottles (16) treated through the same tap or filling valve (15) of the filling plant (10) and/or through the same closing and/or capping head (14) of the filling plant (10); based on the data collected, calculating (120) statistical data associated with the tap or filling valve (15) and/or with the closing and/or capping head (14); updating (130) the statistical data based on new data collected and monitoring the progression thereof; in the case of a variation of the statistical data over time, adjusting the tap or filling valve (15) and/or the closing and/or capping head (14) associated with the statistical data so as to compensate for the variation.
Method (100) for calibrating a plant (10) for filling containers or bottles, characterised in that it comprises the steps consisting of:
Plant (10) for filling containers or bottles comprising the conveying means on which a plurality of containers or bottles (16) is moved along a direction of forward movement, with there being, arranged in succession along said direction of forward movement, a first filling station (11) of said containers or bottles (16) comprising a plurality of taps or filling valves (15), a second closing and/or capping station (12) of said containers or bottles (16) comprising a plurality of closing and/or capping heads (14) and at least one third station (13′, 13″) for checking at least one filling parameter, characterised in that it comprises a tracking system (18, 19, 20) of a tap or filling valve (15) and of a closing and/or capping head (14) acting upon a container or bottle (16), and a processing unit (21) connected to said at least one third control station (13′, 13″) for receiving filling and/or closing parameters of said container or bottle (16) on which said tap or filling valve (15) and/or said closing and/or capping head (14) act, said processing unit (21) also being connected to means for adjusting said first and second station (11, 12) suitable for controlling the operating parameters of said tap or filling valve (15) and/or of said closing and/or capping head (14) acting upon said container or bottle (16) based on said received filling and/or closing parameters.
