Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2018108575A1] The invention relates to a filling machine for filling containers (2) with a fluid filling material, wherein the fill level in the container (2) to be filled can be determined by optical detection means, characterised in that the internal space of the container is at least partially illuminated by a light source (3), and in that the fill level is detected by optical detection means (4) provided laterally adjacent to the container (2), or a camera (6) or a light-guide (5) connected to a camera (6) is provided in the region of the filling element (1), and in that at least one computer unit having image processing program means is provided, by means of which the fill height (FS) in the container (2) can be determined from the image information provided by the camera (6) by running an image processing program.
