Abstract

A method for filling a receptacle (7), which is at least partly gas-permeable with bulk filling material (2), includes subjecting the receptacle (7) at the outer side to an underpressure, in order to generate a feed of filling material through a filling material conduit (4) into the inside of the receptacle (7). The filling procedure is assisted by way of subjecting the filling material conduit (4) to pressure after completion of a first filling time.
