Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for the control of a filling machine (A) for the filling of containers (C) with liquid filling material, wherein the filling machine comprises at least two controllable filling elements (1, 2, 30, 31) each having at least one filling sensor, and wherein by way of the filling sensors the termination of filling of the respective filling element is controlled. According to the invention a first filling element (1) will, in case of failure of its filling sensor, be controlled synchronously to a following second filling element (2).
Claims6
A method for the control of a filling machine for filling containers with a liquid filling material, wherein the filling machine comprises at least two controllable filling elements each having at least one filling sensor, the method comprising:
- controlling a termination of filling of the filling elements via the at least one filling sensor,
- monitoring the at least one sensor of each of the filling elements for defectiveness;
- and
- synchronously controlling a first filling element and an adjacent second filling element such that, within a single filling machine revolution, if the at least one sensor of the first filling element is defective, the at least one filling sensor of the second filling element activates the first filling element.
