Abstract (en)
[origin: EP3339241A1] There is described a filling apparatus (1) comprising: a support body (10) defining a flowing channel (11) for a pourable product; a delivery mouth (14) which is arranged at one end (15) of the flowing channel (11) and through which the pourable product flows in use to fill a respective receptacle (2); a shutter (16) coaxially mounted within the flowing channel (11) and axially displaced in use between an open position, in which it allows the pourable product to freely flow through the flowing channel (11) and the delivery mouth (14) to fill the respective receptacle (2), and a closed position, in which it sealingly closes the delivery mouth (14); an electromagnetic actuator (18) configured to control displacements of the shutter (16) between the open and closed position and which includes a magnetic stator (19), arranged around the flowing channel (11), and a movable magnetic core (20) being part of the shutter (16) and controlled by a coil (21) of the stator (19); and an energizing equipment (22) to energize said coil (21); the energizing equipment (22) is configured to power supply the coil (21) of the stator (19), when the shutter (16) is in the closed position and the filling apparatus (1) is in stand-by, to cause the pourable product contained in the flowing channel (11) to be heated-up at a pre-set temperature (T).
