Abstract

A filling machine for simultaneously filling several containers each with a predetermined amount of fluid, in which the containers are indexed by the use of a feed screw which moves the containers into the area of the machine where the nozzles are lowered into the containers to carry out the discharge of the fluid into the containers and are raised again, and/or in which the nozzle support structure is actuated to reciprocate in the direction of the movement of the containers while the containers are being filled and opposite this direction after the nozzles are raised clear of the top of the containers.
