Abstract
In a container filling apparatus having a plurality of revolving charging cylinders and respective pistons by which a fluid material supplied into the cylinders with their pistons at the limit end of their intake strokes is subsequently pushed out of the cylinders to fill respective containers, an adjusting screw is provided to set by its one end the limit of the intake stroke of the piston rod of each piston and has a sprocket-like wheel fixed to its other end and actuated in incremental rotation by the piston rods of stationary air cylinders fixed to the apparatus frame when the wheel, revolving with its cylinder, is engaged by the piston rods. The activation of the air cylinders is controlled by electrical control means by which the limit of the intake stroke of any piston and, therefore, the filling quantity of the corresponding cylinder can be adjusted without danger and without stopping the operation of the apparatus.
