Abstract

The present invention refers to a flow control device (1) for inserting into container openings, comprising a body (2), a drive assembly (3) and a fluid passageway arrangement (4). The drive assembly (3) is configured to restrict or allow the flow passage of a container to the inside of the flow control device (1), the body (2) is configured in a substantially cylindrical manner and houses the fluid passageway arrangement (4) and the fluid passageway arrangement (4) communicates the inside of the flow control device (1) with the outside environment. The fluid passageway arrangement (4) comprises, contiguously, a pressure equalization chamber (5) and an output duct (6), wherein the pressure equalization chamber (5) is configured to accumulate fluid, in order to allow pressure homogenization thereof; and the output duct (6) presents a substantially circular cross section.
