Abstract
A filler pipe for filling containers of a packing machine includes a nozzle part having an elongated base plate. One side of the base plate has a plurality of guide vanes which together with the base plate and a material forming a portion of the containers will provide filling channels for a fluid. The guide vanes may be straight or curved and may be arranged so as to lie at a periphery of the base plate. The base plate may preferably have a triangular shape with a generally decreasing width. In another embodiment of the present invention, a distribution chamber is provided beneath the base plate with a plurality of holes in the base plate permitting communication between the distribution chamber and the filling channels. In this embodiment, the base plate is preferably rectangular in shape with the guide vanes extending completely across the base plate.
