Abstract (en)

There is disclosed a manifold (10) for a rotatable tank (2) of a filling unit (1) for filling a plurality of articles (8) with a pourable product, comprising: a stator (11), which is stationary about an axis (A) and is connectable to a stationary first source (3) of pourable product; a rotor (12), which is rotatable to about axis (A) and is connectable to rotatable tank (2); and a plurality of annular rings (100a, 100b, 100c, 100d, 100e, 100f), which are radially interposed between stator (11) and rotor (12) and are fillable, in use, with a first aeriform so as to create respective pneumatic seals; manifold (10) comprises: a single inlet (101), which is fluidly connectable to a second source (102) of first aeriform; a single outlet (104), which is fluidly connectable to a discharging section (105) adapted to collect discharged first aeriform; and a pneumatic circuit (103), which extends between single inlet (101) and single outlet (104) and feeds in series a selectable group formed by one or more of annular rings (100a, 100b, 100c, 100d, 100e, 100f).
