Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2004014729A1] The invention relates to a system for filling flat-bottom pouches, especially with a liquid, said pouches having opposite lateral seams and a bottom. Said system contains a filling carousel (9) which can be rotated about a vertical axis and is provided with a plurality of holding elements (10) on the circumference thereof, each respectively holding one pouch. A pouch-distributing station (A), a pouch-opening station (B), a filling station (C), a removal station (D), and a closing station (E) are associated with said filling carousel. The aim of the invention is to optimise one such system and especially to increase the throughput thereof. To this end, the pouch-distributing station is provided with a storage element (7) for prefabricated pouches, and a distribution carousel (8) comprising a plurality of holding devices which can each hold a pouch. Said holding devices can be rotatably driven about a common axis in order to be able to remove each pouch individually from the storage element and to continuously transfer each pouch to a holding element on the filling carousel.
