Method for filling food containers

摘要

The invention relates to a method for filling thin-walled food containers (14), in particular beverage cans, which as a result are sealed gas-tight and have a internal pressure lying above the ambient pressure to stabilize the food container. The method comprises the following method steps: providing a food container having an open filling opening in a filling station (10), filling the food container in the filling station, covering the filling opening of the food container using a lid immediately after the filling has been concluded, fixing the lid on the food container without sealing the food container gas-tight, transporting away the food container having the covered filling opening.
