Description
[0001] The present invention relates to a device for filling containers by weight, the device being fitted with an anti-vibration member.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] A device for filling containers by weight is disclosed in particular in document EP 1 025 424, which device comprises a filler spout carried by a structure and having a delivery orifice below which the containers are supported by a container support member. The container support member is connected to a weight sensor comprising both an elastically deformable bar having one end rigidly fastened to the structure and an opposite end that is cantilevered out, and a sensing element associated with the elastically deformable bar to measure its deformation.
[0003] In order to protect the weight sensor against splashes of the fluid to be packaged or of a fluid for cleaning the filler spout, filler devices have been made in which the weight sensor is arranged at a level that is higher than the delivery orifice. Nevertheless, un...
