DEVICE AND PROCESS FOR REFILLING A CONTAINER WITH A MORE OR LESS VISCOUS MATERIAL

摘要

The device is suited for refilling a container (2) with a more or less viscous material. The device exhibits a supporting structure (3), to which a supply container (6) is fastened and a temporary storage device (8) extending away from the supply container (6). A nozzle (12) is arranged on the end of the temporary storage device turned away from the supply container (6). The device further exhibits an outlet valve (23) on the end of the nozzle (12) turned away from the supply container (6) and encompasses a closing valve (22) arranged in the temporary storage device (8). The valves mentioned (22, 23) are opened and/or closed by a mechanical coupling by the pressing of a container to be filled (2) on a first plunger (15). Because the work of the valves is controlled purely mechanically and not by the pressure conditions prevailing in the temporary storage device, the device functions well practically independent of the viscosity of the material to be filled and performs maintenance-free over a long period of time.
