Abstract (en)

A filling unit (10) of a filling machine (1) engages at least one container (2) to carry out filling thereof with a product, and has a flow regulator device (14) to regulate flow of the product within the container (2) during filling operations. The filling unit is integrally provided with a sensor element (17), to detect at least one operating parameter related to the filling operations, during the filling operations, the at least one operating parameter being associated to a pressure within the container (2) being filled. The filling unit is also provided with a computing unit (32) and with a storage memory (34) to store operating parameters during the filling operations.
