Filling system for filling containers with fluid filling material and filling machine

Abstract

The invention relates to a filling system (1) for filling containers (2) with a fluid filling material. According to a first embodiment, the invention relates to a filling system for filling containers with a fluid filling material, comprising at least one filling material tank (5) providing the filling material, and at least one filling element (1.1) for the controlled output of the filling material into the containers arranged in a sealing position on the filling element in a filling phase. In a filling element housing (6), the filling element also comprises a fluid channel (7) through which the fluid filling material can flow, and in which a fluid valve (9) is provided, wherein the valve body (9.1) thereof can be shifted in a controlled manner along a filling element axis (FA) for opening and / or closing the fluid valve, and is formed on a gas pipe (13) that is axially aligned with the filling element axis and acting as a valve tappet. In addition, with the inclusion of the gas pipe, at least one flow path (20) is formed for a liquid and / or gaseous medium, which is connected to an interior of the container to be filled during the filling phase, wherein at least one antenna (21) of a radar fill level measuring device (22) is provided in the flow path for determining the fill level of the fluid filling material filled in the container.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a filling system for filling containers with a liquid filling according to the preamble of claim 1 and to a filling system according to the preamble of claim 1 with a plurality of Filling machine with filling elements on the rotor. Background technique [0002] Filling systems and filling machines for filling containers with liquid fillings, in particular also for pressure filling, are known in various embodiments. Furthermore, such a filling system can be configured for carrying out different filling methods, in particular also for pressure filling, wherein, in these known methods, the actual filling phase (which can be formed, for example, in the form of a rapid filling consisting of at least two sub-phases in the form of a filling phase and at least one slow filling phase) precedes in time at least one flushing phase and / or pre-pressurization phase in which the The interior of the container is flushed with a flushing gas, ...

Problems solved by technology

Thus, in the previously known method of document DE 42 39 954 A1, it can take place on a sensor device fixedly arranged on a moving track that the filling of the filling phase ends when the filling machine is running at minimum power lies outside the sensing range of the sensor device for ascertaining the setpoint level and thus cannot be sensed
