<p>A system and a method for filling a package (2) of the collapsible type with a product in the form of a powder or liquid. The system comprises a package (2), which has a chamber defined by flexible walls, and an arrangement (1 ) for filling a package (2) of the collapsible type with a product in the form of a powder or liquid. Moreover, the arrangement comprises a filling tube (4) with an end portion (6) which is made of a stiff material and which has an outer circumference (C2), and which end portion (6), in order to transfer said product to the chamber, can be inserted into a filling channel (3) of the package (2), which filling channel (3) has an inner circumference (C1), and a clamping element (5) which is designed to grip the end portion (6) and the filling channel (3) when said end portion (6) is inserted into said filling channel (3), so as to create a seal between the end portion (6) and the filling channel (3). The system is characterized in that the difference between the inner circumference (C1 ) of the filling channel (3) and the outer circumference (C2) of the end portion (6) is less than or equal to four times a wall thickness of the package walls, such that the ability of the filling channel (3) to form folds when gripped by means of the clamping element (5) is eliminated.</p> |
