APPARATUS FOR FILLING CONTAINERS

摘要

Apparatus, particularly for filling bottles with liquid, is provided with a device both for withdrawing gas from above the liquid entering the bottle and for simultaneously supplying gas to the space above the liquid. Therefore, when the liquid rises to a suction probe through which the gas is withdrawn, and so stops the withdrawal of gas, an immediate gas pressure rise occurs in the said space. This pressure rise is sensed and the filling operation consequently terminated.
