Abstract (en)

A bottle filling valve to be used in aseptic industrial bottling systems for juices, beverages and in general for so-called still beverages, comprising a filling duct (21) constituted, from the top downward, by an upper body (11), in which there is a chamber (12) which is open downward and is connected to a liquid supply system, and by a sleeve (15) to be inserted in a bottle (B) to be filled. The sleeve (15) has, at its upper and lower ends, respectively an opening (16) for connection to the chamber (12) and a port (17) for discharge into the bottle. The chamber (12) and the sleeve (15) are mutually connected by means of a connecting member. A tubular stem (24) is provided inside the filling duct (21) and is fixed in an upper region to the upper body (11) by means of a pin (26); the tubular stem (24) has, at its lower end, a flow control body (28) for the discharge port (17) of the sleeve (15). A vent hole (29) is provided in the flow control body (28) and is connected to the inside of the tubular stem (24), which in turn is connected to an external system for venting and/or recovering liquid. The sleeve (15) comprises means (34) suitable to allow it to perform a relative translational motion with respect to the tubular stem (24). Means for the return to the closure position of the discharge port (17) on the flow control body (28) are associated with the means for translational motion (34).
