Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2021053297A1] The invention relates to a filling machine comprising: • a filling tube (11) passing through a spout nozzle (8) so as to delimit, with the spout nozzle, a part (12a) of an air-return circuit (12), the filling tube (11) being movable vertically and delimiting an outlet passage (11b) for the liquid; • a control circuit (28) for: • moving the filling tube (11) to a bottom position and commanding the closure device to open the outlet passage (11b); • when the outlet passage (11b) of the filling tube is immersed in the liquid, bringing the air-return circuit (12) to atmospheric pressure and moving the filling tube (11) in the direction of its level-setting position; • bringing the air-return circuit (12) into communication with a pressurized chamber (14) and bringing the filling tube (11) to a level-setting position.
