<p>The present invention relates to a filling tube assembly for an apparatus for filling and closing a tubular or bag-shaped packaging casing, like a clipping machine. The filling tube assembly (1) comprises a first filling tube (10) and at least a second filling tube (20) each having a first end (12; 22), a second end (14; 24) and a longitudinal axis (AF1; AF2) extending between the first and the second end (12, 14; 22, 24), for accommodating a tubular or bag-shaped packaging casing for feeding filling material in a feeding direction (FD) into a tubular or bag-shaped packaging casing stored on said filling tubes (10; 20) and closed at the end facing in the feeding direction (FD) by a closure means, like a closure clip. The filling tube assembly further comprise a revolver device (40) for selectively coupling the first and the at least second filling tube (10; 20) to a filling machine by moving the respective filling tube (10; 20) into a filling position. The revolver device (40) comprises a revolver plate (42) having a revolver axis (AR) which extends substantially vertically to said revolver plate (42) in the feeding direction (FD), and about which the revolver plate (42) is rotatable. The first and the at least second filling tubes (10; 20) are attached to the revolver plate (42). In the filling tube assembly, a first clamping device (50) is provided on the revolver plate (42) for securing the tubular or bag-shaped packaging casing in its position when stored on the first and/or the at least second filling tube (10; 20).</p> |
