Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2021013486A1] The invention relates to a filling machine (1) for filling containers (2) with liquid contents (18), the filling machine (1) having at least one transporting apparatus (6) for transporting the containers (2), having at least one drive unit and/or gear unit (7; 8) for driving the at least one transporting apparatus (6), wherein the drive unit and/or gear unit (7; 8) can be cooled by a cooling medium (17), having a filling unit (5) for introducing the liquid contents (18) into the containers (2), having a contents reservoir (3) for providing the liquid contents (18), and having a contents line (4) for conducting the liquid contents (18) from the contents reservoir (3) to the filling unit (5), wherein the filling machine (1) has at least one cooling circuit (9), which carries the cooling medium (17), a cooling-medium-pump unit (10), which is integrated in the cooling circuit (9), and a heat-exchanger unit (11), which is integrated in the cooling circuit (9). The filling machine (1) is distinguished, in particular, in that the heat-exchanger unit (11) is designed for the exchange of heat between the cooling medium (17) and the liquid contents (18) flowing through the contents line (4). The invention also relates to a method for cooling a drive unit and/or gear unit (7; 8) of a filling machine (1) for filling containers (2) with liquid contents (18), wherein, in a heat-exchanger unit (11), heat is dissipated from a cooling medium (17) to the liquid contents (18).
