Abstract (en)

To provide a filling apparatus (1) capable of filling a liquid (5) containing solids (5A) into a container (3) without hindrance.When a liquid (5) containing solids (5A) in a liquid tank (13) is introduced into a manifold (8), the liquid (5) containing the solids is supplied to filling nozzles (4) through distribution pipes (9) connected to respective distribution ports (8a), and is filled into a container (3) through the filling nozzles (4).On an upper surface (8Ba) of a bottom plate (8B) in the manifold (8), guide grooves (8E) are radially formed to extend from a center portion to the respective distribution ports (8a). Each of the guide grooves (8E) is formed to be gradually deepened from the center portion toward the distribution port (8a).When the liquid (5) containing the solids is introduced into the manifold (8), the solids (5A) contained in the liquid (5) enter the guide grooves (8E), and are arranged in a radial direction and guided to the respective distribution ports (8a) and then sent into the respective distribution pipes (9). Then, the liquid (5) containing the solids is filled into the container (3) through the filling nozzles (4) without hindrance.The plurality of solids (5A) can be prevented from being simultaneously collected in the distribution port (8a), and the distribution port (8a) can be prevented from being clogged with the plurality of solids (5A).
