Containers ( 2 ), typically bottles ( 3 ), are filled by equipment ( 1 ) incorporating a fixed frame ( 6 ) and a rotating carousel ( 7 ) fitted with a plurality of filler units ( 8 ) distributed around the periphery, each comprising a first and a second dispensing outlet ( 9, 10 ) connected to respective first and second tanks ( 11, 12 ) holding first and second packageable substances, a supporting structure ( 13 ) on which to stand a container ( 2 ), and an actuator mechanism ( 15 ) associated with the supporting structure ( 13 ). The supporting structure ( 13 ) is caused to alternate by the associated mechanism ( 15 ) between a first filling position, in which the first outlet ( 9 ) is placed in alignment with a mouth ( 5 ) of the respective container ( 2 ), and a second filling position in which the second outlet ( 10 ) is placed in alignment with the mouth ( 5 ) of the container ( 2 ), so that the container ( 2 ) can be filled with two different substances in the course of a single pass around the carousel.
