PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a rotary filling machine with which a filled liquid reserved in a tank can be inexpensively, simply and hygienically discharged without manpower and without modifying a structure of an existing rotary filling machine when the liquid is to be completely discharged for cleaning the tank or replacing with another kind of beverage. SOLUTION: The rotary filling machine includes a discharged liquid adapter means which is temporarily placed on a circulating passage to discharge a filled liquid in a filled liquid tank. The adapter means includes a cam mechanism which cam-engages with a nozzle open/close means of a filling nozzle rotating together with the tank at a fixed position thereby opening a valve mechanism of the nozzle, and a discharged liquid receive means for receiving the filled liquid discharged from the nozzle with the valve mechanism opened by the cam mechanism to lead the liquid outside.
