Abstract (en)

To prevent contact between the liquid (4) and the atmosphere during bottling, the final level of the liquid (4) transferred into the bottle (5) is established by injecting an inert gas under slight pressure into the full bottle (5) through the hose (37) and the hole (36). The gas rises together with the excess liquid through a tube (11) coaxial with the vertical duct (15). The level of the liquid in the bottle becomes definitive when it skims the lower end of the tube (11). <IMAGE>
