Abstract: The present invention relates to a valve unit for container filling machines, particularly for bottle fillers. More particularly, the present invention relates to a valve unit (1), particularly for machines for filling containers (8), comprising a hollow body (2) in which a plug (3) is slidably housed and a guide means (14) for the said plug (3), a passage (9) being formed in the said hollow (2) for a fluid (7) for filling the said container (8), characterized in that the said passage (9) for the said filling fluid (7) is separated from the said guide means (14) and from the said plug (3) by an isolating and sealing membrane (32), the said membrane being open at the bottom in such a way as to allow a tip (30) of the to protrude downwards.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a hydraulic pressurization system, in particular for application to pressurization devices operating in accordance with the high hydrostatic pressure principle. In particular, the present invention provides a pressurization system for modifying the pressure in a pressurization device. The system comprising a first hydraulic circuit in which one or more primary pressure accumulators are connected to the pressurization device in controlled manner in order to permit a substantially incompressible fluid to be admitted to and removed from the pressurization device at a first pressure, the primary pressure accumulators being precompressed-gas pressure accumulators.

Abstract: An apparatus for the handling of containers comprising a frame and a plate that is removably fixed to the frame. The plate is disposed on the frame in a raised position and supports from above one or more distribution units and/or one or more operating units. The motor drives for the distribution units and/or operating units are disposed above the units.
