Abstract (en)

Rotary machine for filling containers with liquids (1) provided with a plurality of valve assemblies (5) hydraulically connected to a tank (4) and mounted peripherally on a rotary carousel (3). Each valve assembly (5) comprises a tap (44) with interception means (8) for adjusting the outflow of liquid into the container. The machine is also provided with a plurality of chutes (100), each of which is mounted by means of a hinge (101) on the rotary carousel (3) at a valve assembly (5); and a tray (104) mounted fixed with respect to the rotary carousel (3) and extending for at least one arc around the rotary carousel (3). First shifting means (109) are suitable to move each chute (100) around the hinge (101) between a withdrawn position (110), wherein the chute (100) is substantially aligned with the valve assembly (5), and a projecting position (111), wherein the chute (100) projects externally from the valve assembly (5) towards the tray (104) for draining - into the latter - the liquid released by the valve assembly (5).
