<p>A method of gravimetrically filling a succession of containers (2) with a flowable medium (M) comprising seating a container (2) to be filled on at least one endless conveyor (3A, 3B, 3C) so as to impart linear movement to the container (2) at a predetermined speed; associating a weighing system (4) with the conveyor; locating at least one open- able and closeable filling nozzle (5A, 5B, 5C) above the container (2) to be filled at a "start" position and traversing the filling nozzle (5A, 5B, 5C) linearly at the same speed and in same "filling" direction as that of the container (2); providing a control means to control automatic closing of the filling nozzle (5A, 5B, 5C) upon completion of a filling step in accordance with data received from the weighing system (4); and traversing the nozzle (5A, 5B, 5C) in a return direction to the start position. The container (2) is part filled on a plurality of endless conveyors (3A, 3B, 3C) in series. The invention also includes apparatus for carrying out the above defined method.</p> |
