Abstract: A bag-filling machine, in which the material to be filled is conveyed by compressed air through a filling tube, has a storage cylinder which is closed at its underside by a grid-like floor having ventilation apertures. The filling tube is fitted above the floor in the peripheral wall of the storage cylinder. An improvement in the flow of the material to be filled and a more complete emptying on termination of the filling procedure are achieved if the floor is formed from at least three segments. Below the segments, sealed relative to one another, respective specifically associated compressed air supply chambers are disposed which are each provided with a regulatable compressed air supply.

Abstract: A bag-filling machine having an electronic weighing device which has a force receiver acting upon a bag support column. The machine also has a bag support guide which comprises two upper parallel guides and two lower parallel guides which are disposed in each instance on both sides of the bag support column and whose bearings are constructed as articulated heads. A possible lateral tilting of the bag support column is effectively prevented, without impairment of the vertical movement of this bag support column. The two upper parallel guides and the two lower parallel guides are rigidly connectd to one another by a respective coupling rod.
