Abstract: A device for controlling the flow direction of fluids, in particular flowable foods, includes a housing with at least three connections, wherein the connections are inlets and/or outlets for the fluids, wherein the first connection is arranged on a first axis, wherein the second connection is arranged on a second axis, and wherein the third connection is arranged on a third axis which runs at an angle to the first axis and the second axis. In order that the flow direction of the fluid inflowing into the device is changed, while avoiding certain disadvantages, a guide element is provided for dividing the flow inflowing into the housing into at least two partial flows. Also shown and described are the use of such a device for filling food and a system for filling food with such a device.

Abstract: A device for changing the jet shape of free-flowing products, in particular of foodstuffs, including: an inflow area for the free-flowing products to enter, an outflow area for the free-flowing products to exit, and several channels through which to pass the free-flowing products. Each channel includes an inlet allocated to the inflow area and an outlet allocated to the outflow area. The inlets together form an inflow surface with a width and height lying in the inflow area. The outlets together form an outflow surface with a width and height lying in the outflow area. In order to reduce splashing when filling packagings with a non-rotationally symmetrical cross section, the outflow surface is non-rotationally symmetrical.

Abstract: A method and the device used to fill a container with a product. The product includes a first liquid component and at least a second component. The product is fed to the container to be filled via at least one filling pipe and at least one filling valve. The filling pipe is divided between the receptacle and the filling valve into pipe sections by at least one throttle valve. The pipe section between the filling valve and a throttle valve arranged adjacent to the filling valve is dimensioned so that the internal volume of this part of the filling pipe essentially corresponds to a filling volume of a container to be filled.
