ABSTRACT:
Bottles, cans or other types of containers are filled with accurately metered quantities of a liquid by employing a number of discrete filling units which orbit about a vertical axis and are provided with metering chambers receiving liquid from a main source of supply. The metering chambers are overfilled with liquid, and the excess is collected and returned to the main source. The filling units and certain other parts (such as an annular vessel of the main source) of the apparatus can be of modular design to facilitate storage and transport of modules which are assembled into a container filling apparatus at the filling plant. The method and apparatus can be utilized with advantage for the admission of metered quantities of carbonated and/or pulp-containing beverages into bottles or cans. The capacities of the metering chambers can be varied within a desired range, and each filling unit is provided with a first outlet which serves to admit metered quantities of liquid from the respective metering chamber into successive containers, and with a second outlet which is used to admit liquid from the vessel into the respective metering chamber.
