A nozzle 20 is provided for filling containers, such as as pouches with detergent, bleach, fabric softener or lotion, which eliminates splashing and dripping. The nozzle 10 consists of a elongated tubular member 14 which receives liquid through a channel 12 of a conduit 11, at least one screen 22 being fitted at the outlet end to induce laminar flow. In the region of the screen a suction means 20, for removing excess liquid, is provided. in addition the nozzle is raised by either hydraulic or pneumatic means 40 or mechanical means (43, 44, fig 2) in order that the nozzle can be kept at a set level above the liquid during filling to reduce splashing. The flow of liquid can be enabled or disabled by use of a valve 26 which is preferably electromechanically controlled but may be mechanically controlled. In the electromechanically controlled system the valve is opened and closed by use of a magnetic field produced by a coil 25 and magnet 27 in the valve stem guide 26. <IMAGE> |
