Abstract: A device for influencing the volume flow of a filling product in a filling plant for filling with filling products includes a valve body with a valve seat and a valve cone which can be displaced relative to the valve seat, an actuator for positioning the valve cone relative to the valve seat, an electronic controller for controlling the actuator, and a housing which is directly connected to the valve body and in which the actuator and the electronic controller are disposed. An arrangement for reducing a heat input into the electronic controller is provided.

Abstract: A filling system for filling a container with a filling product includes a filling device for filling the container with the filling product, and a deflection device having an electrostatic field for deflecting the filling product relative to the container.

Abstract: A filling valve for filling a container with a filling product, e.g., a beverage in a beverage filling system, includes a valve base body. The valve base body includes an outlet configured to discharge the filling product into the container; a swirl chamber configured to receive the filling product and is able to be brought into a fluidic connection with the outlet; and a main inlet, which feeds into the swirl chamber and is configured to introduce at least one main component of the filling product into the swirl chamber such that the filling product is swirled in the swirl chamber, whereby after exiting from the outlet the filling product flows downwardly in a spiral movement in the container. The swirl chamber has an annular shape, the cross-sectional contour thereof having a rounded shape, substantially without corner points, in the direction of extent and perpendicular to the direction of extent.

Abstract: A device for filling a container with a filling product includes a filling valve for influencing the supply of the filling product into the container to be filled, generally during the transport, by means of a container transporting device, of the containers to be filled, a dosing valve for dosing a dosing product from a dosing product reservoir into the filling valve, and a main component reservoir for providing a main component at the filling valve. A dosing product changing device is provided for changing the dosing product in the dosing product reservoir during the filling operation.

Abstract: A method for filling a container with a filling product in a filling-product filling system having a control valve, having the steps: a differential pressure ?pv decreasing across the control valve; and regulating and/or controlling the control valve as a function of the differential pressure ?pv which has been determined.

Abstract: A device for filling a fill product into a container to be filled in a beverage bottling plant. The device includes a fill product reservoir for storing the fill product, a fill product channel, and a filling member in fluid communication with the fill product reservoir via the fill product channel. The filling member is configured to introduce the fill product into the container to be filled and the filling member communicates via media channels to provide media flows for two or more functions: flushing the container with a flushing gas, pre-pressurizing the container before it is filled, returning gas displaced during the filling of the container, relieving a gas overpressure in the container, and circulating a hot fill product through the filling member for controlling a temperature. A single media channel of the media channels is configured to provide the media flows for at least two of the functions.

Abstract: A device for filling a container with a sterilized filling product, preferably for filling a beverage container with a sterilized beverage in a beverage bottling installation, comprising a sterilization device for sterilizing the filling product, a sterile tank for buffered receiving of the filling product sterilized in the sterilization device, and a filling device which has a filling valve for the filling of the container to be filled, wherein the filling valve is a proportional valve for controlling and/or regulating the filling-product flow of the filling product into the container to be filled, and the proportional valve is connected in a buffer-free manner to the sterile tank.

Abstract: A method for filling containers with multi-component flowable media may include filling a first component into the container to be filled by means of a first filling assembly, transporting the container filled with the first component of the liquid to a second filling assembly, and filling a second component of the liquid into the container to be filled with the first component by means of the second filling assembly. After filling the first component into the container, a filling quantity of the first component is determined.
