Abstract
A filling machine for filling containers with an accurately predetermined amount of a fluid product in which a flow meter for accurately measuring the flow rate of a fluid product fed to a filling nozzle is provided in the feed line leading to such nozzle which generates signals in its output indicative of the amount of flow; the signals are counted in a counter which causes the feed line to be shut off when a predetermined programmed number of pulses has been reached. The counter is reset automatically by an indexing device which indicates that the filled container has left the filling position and a new container has arrived in the filling position; resetting of the counter causes the vavle to reopen, thereby restarting the filling operation.
