Abstract

See full text

A method for open jet filling of containers with liquid content using a machine having a rotor that rotates around a machine axis. The rotor carries filling stations, each having a filling element, each having an opening and a container carrier. The carrier holds a container such that its opening is at a selected distance from the dispensing opening. Contents dispensed in a controlled manner by the filling element flow in an open filling jet directed toward the container opening. The method includes compensating for deflection of the filling jet due to centrifugal force acting on it when the rotor rotates by causing controlled relative movement between the filling element and the container. As a result of this movement, the open jet cleanly enters the container through the container opening.
