Abstract
The invention relates to a device for filling containers with filling material in powder form, comprising: at least one metering wheel (29); a metering chamber (28a, 28b); at least one container (27) for discharging into the metering chamber (28a, 28b) a filling material (21) to be metered; at least one filter (36) which is mounted on the metering chamber (28a, 28b), the filter (36) being non-permeable to the filling material (21) and permeable to a gaseous medium; at least one feed (46) for the gaseous medium, to influence the filling material (21) to be metered in the metering chamber (28a, 28b) by means of the gaseous medium via the filter (36), at least one transport means (43) being provided to displace the filter (36) such that a new region of the filter (36) reaches the underside of the metering chamber (28a, 28b).
