Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0189932A1] The invention relates to a tube-filling machine comprising a conveyer device which is used to transport a tube through various processing stations. Said processing stations comprise a filling station (10), in which a fill line (16) is introduced from above into the substantially vertically positioned tube (12). A filling medium is introduced into the tube through the fill line using a dosing device (17). The invention aims to introduce the filling medium with a high degree of reliability and to prevent soiling of the tube filling machine caused by faulty fill operations. To achieve this, a sensor device (14) for detecting the relative positions of the tube and the fill line that has been introduced is located in the filling station and a control device which receives a positioning signal from the sensor device is provided (19). The dosing device is controlled by means of the control device, based on said positioning signal.
