Abstract
A filling device for discharging bulk material into a container, includes a tube defined by an axis and disposed in sealing engagement with an upper part of a subjacent container. The tube has an inlet receiving bulk material flowing by means of gravity in direction of the axis and an outlet for allowing discharge of bulk material into the container. A gas supply system cooperates with the tube for so feeding gas under pressure into the tube as to change a flow direction of bulk material from a substantially vertical disposition into a substantially horizontal direction when exiting the tube through the outlet.
