Abstract
A machine block and a method for filling bottles with liquid products, in particular beverages, are described. Accordingly, at least a first and second filler of circulating design with infeed starwheels and outfeed starwheels are provided. Filling can take place with a small amount of required space and comparatively low machine output in that the empty bottles are alternatingly removed from a transport path which runs linearly at least in some portions and supplied by means of the infeed starwheels to the first and second fillers interlocking with said transport path, and the bottles thus filled are transferred again to the transport path into transport gaps produced between the bottles during removal.
