  • Patent number: 9126813
    Abstract: A device for filling containers, comprising: an upper main element, a lower main element and lateral elements connecting the upper main element and the lower main element; support elements arranged at one another without a continuous drive device, which support elements are continuously run through the device along operating stations and along the main elements and whose interconnection with one another due to a support along at least one lateral element is disengaged, wherein the interconnection of the support elements with one another in the upper main element and/or in the lower main element is maintained over the entire movement path along the top main element and the bottom main element, and wherein the movement of the support elements in the upper main element and/or in the lower main element is acceleratable and deceleratable in a controlled manner with the interconnection of the support elements being maintained.

  • Publication number: 20140174893
    Abstract: A device for filling containers with low viscosity to pasty food products, comprising: support elements that are run in a feed direction along an upper element, a first side element, a lower element and a second side element through the device in an endless manner, wherein the support elements are run through the device in a chainless manner, wherein the support elements are moved by a feed device between the upper element and the lower element, wherein the support elements include receivers for containers, wherein the containers are supported in the support elements along operating stations, wherein a magazine is arrangeable at least at one of the side elements and the magazine is used for introducing additional support elements from the magazine into the device and/or for receiving support elements arranged in the device. The device facilitates a quick and simple format change.
