Abstract
The invention concerns a container filling machine with a supply chamber for a fluid and a compressed gas, onto which at least one filling device is attached. This device possesses a discharge opening, a fluid valve, a compressed gas valve body arranged on its valve body and a probe which determines filling height held on this compressed gas valve body. It leads out of the lower end of the compressed valve body in a gastight arrangement. Hereby is a container filling machine achieved with higher filling accuracy, greater versatility, more cleanability and low production costs.

Container Filling Machine comprising in combination:
- a storage tank for liquid that is to be used for filling and for tension gas, at least one filling device containing no filling pipe is attached in said storage tank, said at least one filling device having a discharge mouth for the liquid;
- a liquid valve serially-connected to said discharge mouth;
- a tension gas valve positioned into a spring-weighted, height-adjustable valve body;
- a gas-proof probe for determining fill-height is contained in said height-adjustable valve body and able to be inserted into a container;
- and a probe-controllable control unit for said valve body of said tension gas valve, whereby said probe takes part in the lifting motion of said valve body of said tension gas valve and protrudes downward across said discharge mouth, and said gas-proof probe (31) is guided out of the bottom end of said valve body (21) of said tension gas valve (22).
