Abstract (en)
A system for filling containers (2) with a carbonated product by a container filling machine (1) comprising a number of filling units (5) coupled to a rotating conveyor (4), designed to rotate around a rotation axis (A) to perform filling operations on a respective container (2) according to a filling recipe; wherein the filling recipe envisages at least one flushing phase for flushing of the container (2) with a stream of carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>), preceding a filling phase for filling the container (2) with the carbonated product. The system has a processing module (12; 12'), designed to: determine a disturbance cause affecting the filling machine (1) that would lead to an increase of an oxygen amount in the filled containers (2); and in response to determining the disturbance cause, cause a dynamic increase of a duration of the at least one flushing phase of the filling recipe, as a function of the determined disturbance.
