Abstract (en)

The invention relates to a filling device (4) comprising: a filling valve (8) configured to be connected to a respective receptacle (2) to be filled and selectively movable between an opening configuration, wherein the filling valve (8) feeds a pourable product to the receptacle (2) at a pressure higher than the atmospheric pressure, and a closing configuration in which the filling valve (8) interrupts the flow of the pourable product to the receptacle (2) itself; and a decompression circuit (33) configured to depressurize the receptacle (2) after filling and comprising in turn a decompression chamber (35) kept at atmospheric pressure, a decompression duct (34) connected both to the receptacle (2) and to the decompression chamber (35), and a flow control valve (39) arranged in series on the decompression duct (34); the filling device (4) further comprises pressure detecting means (42) and a control unit (43) configured to receive a pressure signal (W) from the pressure detecting means (42) and control the flow control valve (39) according to said pressure signal (W).
