Abstract (en)
[origin: ES8601046A1] The method is for controlling filling of containers passed through a filling station with a turntable carrying multiple filling posts. A slightly greater weight of product is passed to a metering dispenser (37) at each post. The product is then transferred from the dispenser to a container under the action of a piston controlled by springs (40). Each container is filled at a post containing a weight meter which records the weight during filling. - The weight of each container is compared to the weight of product supplied to it and filling is stopped when a set weight is reached. High closing pressures for the dispenser outlets are compensated by the springs between the piston and dispenser.

A receptacle (39) is engaged in a filling station and the following operations take place in succession, the emoty receptacle is weighed and at the same time the volumetric dispenser is filled with slightly more material than is to be dispensed. - The material in the dispenser is then transferred to the receptacle and the receptacle is continuously weighed until it has received the set weight of material.
