Abstract (en)
[origin: EP3705450A1] An apparatus (1) for filling a container (2) includes a shutter (8) movable along an axis (A) for closing or opening, in a variable manner, an outflow passage of the valve (5) itself, designed to control the filling of the container (2) with a pourable product under pressure, a position sensor for measuring the position of the shutter (8) along the axis (A), a pressure sensor (28) for measuring the pressure of the pourable product, and a control unit (27) having a memory holding a predetermined dataset, which contains flowrate values as a function of the pressure of the pourable product and the position of the shutter (8), and estimating flowrate from the dataset as a function of the measured position of the shutter (8) and the measured pressure of the pourable product to control the position of the shutter (8).
