Abstract
A method of charging into containers a liquid contained in a rotary tank of a bottling machine whereby different pressures are built up in each container during the filling process so that at the beginning the liquid is discharged by the force of gravity and thereafter the pressure in the container is reduced with respect to the tank pressure to introduce a quick filling phase; after attaining a predetermined amount of charge in the container or after a certain time interval the pressure in the container is automatically increased irrespective of the rotational is automatically increased irrespective of the rotational speed of the bottling machine or of the rate of flow of the discharged liquid. The bottling machine includes an annular channel the gas pressure of which is reduced with respect to the gas pressure in the tank but is higher than the atmospheric pressure. The channel communicates with the container to be filled by means of a control valve and a changeover conduit and in addition it is provided with an external pressure regulating device that adjusts the pressure in the channel independently from the operational condition of the machine.
