It should be understood, however, that the present invention may be applied to other devices for bottling beverages as well as other liquids such as milk, juices, soft drinks or oils, but also more viscous media.
  • a method for filling containers with a liquid product and a filling system is known.
  • at least two components of the filling material are mixed together.
  • At least one of the components is supplied using a flow meter volume and volume controlled.

  • the second liquid line is arranged such that in a working operation of the device the second liquid does not pass through the flow measuring device. This is particularly important if the second component is a liquid with pieces of fruit or the like. It should be ensured that the volume between the flow measuring device and the junction of the second liquid line is large enough, so that even when supplying a second medium this can not pass through the flow meter, otherwise the measurements can be affected.

  • reservoirs for a second fluid such as annular channels can be provided.
  • a controllable valve is provided in the second fluid line.
  • this valve is controlled based on the data of the flow meter. For example, this valve can be opened to supply the second component and as soon as the flow measuring device detects a certain amount of liquid (in particular in the rearward flow direction), the valve is closed again. Preferably, in this time the valve means of the filling device is closed.
  • the present invention is further directed to a method for filling liquids and in particular beverages in containers, wherein a first liquid is filled by means of a filling device in the containers and the liquid is supplied by means of a first liquid line of the filling device, wherein the liquid in a first Flow direction flows and wherein a flow measuring device determines a quantity of the flow meter in the first flow direction passing liquid.
  • the first liquid flows at least temporarily in the liquid line in a second flow direction opposite the first flow direction, and the flow measuring device determines a quantity of the liquid passing through the flow measuring device in the second flow direction.
  • the containers are supplied with a second liquid and at least temporarily there is a flow connection between the first liquid and the second liquid.
  • a main valve which directs the liquid into the containers, is preferably closed.

It is already known from the prior art to pass two liquids from two separate containers into a common mixing space. Usually, a filling system is used to fill liquids with a proportion of fibers or solids, which seals immediately before the filling valve outlet. With this special outlet geometry, there is no product after the filling after the filling so that a gas barrier can be dispensed with.
