Abstract

A filling machine for filling several containers with predetermined amounts of a product in which the several filling units are actuated by a common driving member; the common driving member itself is actuated by two eccentric drive mechanisms each including a volume-changing adjusting mechanism of the lead screw type; the eccentric drive mechanisms are adapted to be stopped in a predetermined position by a volume-changing stoppage device to enable the installation of an interconnecting member between the two volume-changing adjusting mechanisms to assure identical adjustments.
