Abstract: A process and device for decanting dental filling substances (2) into special individual containers (3) for use in dental treatment. Storage container (1) is connected leakproof and pressure sealed to conically shaped jet (4) of individual container (3). By applying pressure, dental filling substance (2) is squeezed from storage container (1) through jet (4) into the container body, thereby pushing ahead of it axially movable piston (7) until same reaches a final position determined by circuit-controlled limit stop (10). Thus, a precise dosage can be guaranteed during a long service life, even while filling several individual containers (3) simultaneously. Sensor (11), placed within the range of limit stop (10), records the final position of stop rod (6) conveying the movement of piston (7).

Abstract: A commodity to be packaged in a carton, box or another type of container is foamed in place while being held by distancing elements which extend into the interior of the container. The distancing elements are retracted upon completion of the foaming step, either through the open top or through openings in the top, bottom and/or side walls of the container.
