  • Patent number: 5979517
    Abstract: A bulk product filling device 10 comprises a fill channel 39 having a fill pening 17 associated with a processing region 13 through which a bulk product to be handled can be introduced into the processing region 13 and a suitable liquid inlet device 38 disposed in the vicinity of the fill channel 39 for the introduction of liquids. The liquid inlet device 38 has at least one inlet opening (gap 36) integrated in the wall region 42 of the fill channel 39 which leads, at the edge of the free fill opening cross-section 31, into the fill opening 17. The liquid inlet device 38 is therefore configured in such a fashion and disposed on the bulk product filling device 10 in such a manner that an even and homogeneous moistening of the bulk product can be achieved.
