Abstract
A filling system with a supply conveyor, an infeed screw, a supply star wheel for a rinser, a rinser, a discharge star wheel for a rinser, an intermediate star wheel, a supply star wheel for a filler, a filler, a delivery star wheel for a filler/capper, a capper, a discharge star wheel for a capper, and a discharge conveyor is provided. Each component has a revolving body such as a star wheel. In case an abnormality occurs in any component, a control unit activates a brake for that component, which stops the star wheel of the component forcibly, while controlling servomotors for all of the other components, thereby stopping the star wheel of all of the other components where the abnormality does not occur. Even in the event of the abnormality in any component, each component is stopped nearly simultaneously, so that the filling system can prevent damage to all of the components.
