A filling system (1) is composed of a supply conveyor (2), an infeed screw (3), a supply star wheel for a rinser (4), a rinser (5), a discharge star wheel for a rinser (6), an intermediate star wheel (7), a supply star wheel for a filler (8), a filler (9), a delivery star wheel for a filler/capper (10), a capper (11), a discharge star wheel for a capper (12), and a discharge conveyor (13), each having a revolving body such as a star wheel. For example, in case an abnormality occurs in the filler (9), a control unit (14) activates a third brake (B3), which stops the star wheel of the filler (9) forcibly, while controlling first, second, fourth and fifth servomotors (M1,M2,M4 and M5), and brakes (B1,B2,B4 and B5), thereby stopping the star wheel or the like of a unit where the abnormality has not occurred at stopping time of the star wheel of the filler. Even in the event of the abnormality in any unit, each unit is stopped nearly simultaneously, so that the filling system can prevent damage and the like to the unit. |
