Abstract
Method and apparatus for the free-jet filling of a container with a filling product, for example a beverage. The apparatus includes several product components. The method includes holding the container by means of a container holder; and introducing the product components into the container so that the product components span a free-jet region in one jet in each instance. The product components span the free-jet region in separate jets, so that the product components mix only in the container. The container has a container wall and a container bottom, and is held obliquely by the container holder during filling, so that the product components impinge on the container wall after spanning the free-jet region.
