A filling device () comprises a filler nozzle () comprising a plurality of capillaries (), and a filler valve (), which is moveable relative to the filler nozzle (). The filler valve () comprises a sealing plate () and a sealing component () moveable relative to the sealing plate (). The sealing plate (), when in contact with the filler nozzle (), closes a plurality of the capillaries () but leaves at least one main capillary () open. The sealing component () closes the at least one main capillary () and is operable to create pressure along the at least one main capillary ().

Filling device

A filling valve for liquids, includes a liquid feed into a valve chamber, a valve seat, a closure element, which interacts with the valve seat and moves between an open position and a closed position, an outlet for the liquid, and a cylindrical discharge element arranged at the outlet with a plurality of passages. The surface of the discharge element facing the closure element forms a part of the valve seat. To avoid clogging of the passages in the discharge element by fibers in the liquid, the passages ending at the surface of the discharge element are extended from the surface toward the closure element by tubes. Each tube can be closed by a cap which surrounds the tube at least in the closed position forming an annular space.
