METHOD AND FILLING SYSTEM FOR FILLING CONTAINERS WITH A FILLING MATERIAL COMPOSED OF AT LEAST TWO COMPONENTS IN A VOLUME- AND/OR AMOUNT-CONTROLLED MANNER

摘要

An apparatus for filling a container with a two-component filling material includes separate liquid channels for the two components. Each channel has a controllable valve. A flow meter is configured for directly measuring an amount of the first component fed to the container and indirectly measuring an amount of the second component fed to said container. It does the indirect measurement by measuring a flow rate of the first component resulting from a flow rate of the second component. Each component has an associated variable-volume chamber configured so that a volume change in one leads to an inverse volume change in the other. This affects flow rate of the first component.
