(57) Characterised in that the apparatus comprises a turner (1) on which the bottles (2,3,4)
are placed, an actuator that causes the turner (1) to swivel, a pneumatic circuit
that connects the aforesaid bottles (2,3,4) to a gas tank, pneumatic means (7 to 21)
provided in said circuit for carrying out the venting, washing, vacuumising and filling
operations, and control means that act on the actuator and on the pneumatic means
(7 to 21) so as to permit automatic control of said operations. Filling of the bottles
with gas is controlled by means of a mass flow meter. The gas can thus be dispensed
into the bottles without removing them from the turner, thereby reducing the number
of operations to be carried out for each bottle, and ensuring the quality of the bottled
gas.
