Abstract
A device for filling shooting heads (1) with molding materials (2), the device being provided with a filling assembly (6) that comprises a storage hopper (3) for the molding material (2), an outlet member (4) for discharging the molding material (2) into the shooting head (1), and a gate (5) for closing the outlet member (4). The filling assembly (6) being mounted on a machine frame (7) for vertical movement, so as to immerse the outlet member (4) into the shooting head (1), and it is constructed for filling the shooting head (1) in an exact, reproducible manner. For this purpose a noncontacting sensor (8) is mounted to the outlet member (4), the sensor (8) being directed into the shooting head (1) so as to detect therein the filling level.
