In a device used for filling liquids in portions into bottles, cans or similar receptacles and having a plurality of volumetric dosing chambers, which are arranged on a rotor and which are connected to a storage reservoir for the liquid via a controllable inlet valve and to a filler neck via a controllable outlet valve, at least two sensors responding to different filling levels are arranged in each dosing chamber, the sensor arranged on a higher level closing the inlet valve when the filling level has risen to a specific height, and the sensor arranged on a lower level closing the outlet valve when the filling level has dropped to a specific height. The volume of one portion of the liquid to be canned or bottled is thus defined in a simple manner by the vertical distance between the two sensors, or rather the measuring points of said sensors.
A device for filling liquids in portions into receptacles comprising a plurality of volumetric dosing chambers, which are arranged on the circumference of a rotor rotating about a vertical axis of rotation and each of which is connected to a storage reservoir and to a filler neck, the device further comprising:
