Device for filling a container with particulate material

The filling device (1) as claimed in claim 3, characterized in that

• a second drive means (4.3) engages in the first drive means (4.2), thus allowing a torque of the second drive means (4.3) to be transmitted to the first drive means (4.2).

The filling device (1) as claimed in one of the preceding claims,

• characterized in that
• the distribution unit (3) has a multiplicity of sectors (8), which are oriented radially outward from the rotational axis (A) and which are separated from one another by separating elements (9), wherein the separating elements (9) extend radially outward with respect to the rotational axis (A), with the result that an outlet opening (21) for the particulate material (28) is formed between in each case two separating elements (9).

The filling device (1) as claimed in claim 7, characterized in that

• the sectors (8.1, 8.2, 8.3) have a sector opening (8.1a, 8.2a, 8.3a) that is open in the direction of the supply container (2), thus allowing the sectors (8) to be filled with the particulate material (28).

The filling device (1) as claimed in claim 9, characterized in that

• each of the modules (22.1, 22.2, 22.3) has at least one section (29.1, 29.2, 29.3) which is open in the direction of the supply container (2), thus allowing the modules (22.1, 22.2, 22.3) to be filled with the particulate material (28).

The filling device (1) as claimed in one of the preceding claims,

• characterized in that
• the filling device (1) comprises at least one means (5), arranged between the supply container (2) and the distribution unit (3), for controlling a flow of the particulate material (28) to the distribution unit (3).
