Abstract

A filling machine includes a rotor comprising plural container-filling positions, an inflow star upstream from the rotor, and a linear conveyor downstream of the rotor that receives the container from the rotor at an outflow point after the container has been filled but before the container has been closed. An interface having a curved portion receives the container at the outflow point and conveys the container toward the linear conveyor.
