Abstract

A volume-adjusting mechanism for a filling machine adapted to fill a number of containers with a predetermined amount of a product from a corresponding number of filling units; to enable a volume adjustment while the machine is running, the part of the filling unit normally connected with a relatively fixed part of the filling machine includes a selectively adjustable lost motion volume-adjusting mechanism to permit adjustment of the suction and discharge stroke of the filling unit.
