PCT No. PCT/GB80/00140 Sec. 371 Date Jun. 17, 1981 Sec. 102(e) Date Jun. 17, 1981 PCT Filed Sep. 10, 1980 PCT Pub. No. WO81/01138 PCT Pub. Date Apr. 30, 1981.A high-speed rotary filling machine, for filling containers with carbonated beverages or other flowable substances, has a turret (38) mounted on a horizontal axis (31). The containers (30) are carried in radially-extending positions around the circumference of the turret, open ends facing inwards, and are filled by conventional filling valves (43) within the turret. The centrifugal effect of rotating the turret at high speed is utilized to enable filling to take place over an arc of rotation approaching 360 DEG . Spillage problems due to centrifugal effects are avoided by transferring the containers to a linear exit conveyor (58) tangentially at the lowest position (19) of turret rotation, without changing the linear velocity of the container. |
