The invention relates to a method for monitoring a container treatment installation which has a filling apparatus for filling containers and a closure apparatus for closing containers. The method involves filling a container with a filling material using the filling apparatus and measuring a concentration of a gas in the filling material of the filled container using a measuring device, wherein the filled container is removed in order to measure the concentration upstream of the closure apparatus or the concentration is measured upstream of the closure apparatus. Advantageously, the method allows the low-oxygen filling by the filling apparatus to be able to be monitored in a selective manner.

Method for monitoring a container treatment installation

A filling valve for filling a container with a filling product, e.g., a beverage in a beverage filling system, includes a valve base body. The valve base body includes an outlet configured to discharge the filling product into the container; a swirl chamber configured to receive the filling product and is able to be brought into a fluidic connection with the outlet; and a main inlet, which feeds into the swirl chamber and is configured to introduce at least one main component of the filling product into the swirl chamber such that the filling product is swirled in the swirl chamber, whereby after exiting from the outlet the filling product flows downwardly in a spiral movement in the container. The swirl chamber has an annular shape, the cross-sectional contour thereof having a rounded shape, substantially without corner points, in the direction of extent and perpendicular to the direction of extent.

Multifunctional filling valve

A method for filling with a filling product, for example for filling with a beverage in a beverage filling plant by the free jet method, includes supplying a flow of filling product through a filling product supply line by opening a filling valve disposed in the filling product supply line and opening an associated regulating valve for regulating a volume flow, and closing the regulating valve and the filling valve in order to end the flow of filling product at the end of filling. The closing of the regulating valve and the filling valve are synchronized. A corresponding device is also described.
