Abstract

The invention relates inter alia to a device for filling a container. The device comprises a filling valve for discharging a filling material into the container. The device further comprises a throttle valve for adjusting a flow rate of the filling material. The throttle valve comprises a valve member for adjusting a flow cross-section. The throttle valve has a pneumatic drive that is operatively connected to the valve member for moving the valve member, and an electric drive that is operatively connected to the valve member for moving the valve member. Advantageously, the device can combine the advantages of a pneumatic throttle control and the advantages of an electric throttle control.
