Abstract
Device for filling a container with a filling product, for example in a beverage filling system, and method for monitoring a filling process, wherein the device comprises: at least one filling member with a product chamber for receiving the filling product and introducing the filling product via an outlet into the container to be filled; and a measuring portion with a least one spectral sensor which is configured to determine one or more properties of the filling product on the basis of a spectroscopic measuring principle.
Claims20
A device for filling a container with a filling product, comprising:
- a filling member comprising a product chamber that is configured to receive the filling product and to introduce the filling product via an outlet into the container;
- and
- a measuring portion comprising a spectral sensor that is configured to determine one or more properties of the filling product based on a spectroscopic measuring principle.
A method for monitoring a process for filling a container with a filling product, comprising:
- introducing a liquid into a product chamber of a filling member, wherein the filling member is configured to introduce the filling product into the container;
- and
- determining one or more properties of the liquid based on a spectroscopic measuring principle via a spectral sensor of a measuring portion.
