Abstract
A filling system that fills beverages into containers and includes a valve for controlling the feed of filling material and mounted a distance above the discharge aperture to define a discharge surface between the valve and the discharge aperture. The filling system also includes a post-dripping precluding device preventing post-dripping of the filling material when the valve is closed. The post-dripping precluding device enhances the drop detachment of the filling material from the discharge surface of the discharge zone.
Claims13
A filling system to (1) fill beverages into containers (5) and comprising a valve (9) controlling a feed of filling material and mounted a distance above a discharge aperture (14) such that a discharge zone (26) including a discharge surface remains between the valve (9) and the discharge aperture (14), further comprising a post-dripping precluding device precluding post-dripping of the filling material when the valve (9) is closed, wherein said post-dripping precluding device is designed to enhance drop detachment of the filling material from the discharge surface of the discharge zone (26).
