Abstract
Methods and apparatus for manufacturing containers filled with product are disclosed. The method includes partially introducing an end piece into the open end of a filled tubular container, softening the end of the container and a corresponding portion of the end piece which is to be molded, thereto, contacting a transverse end wall of the end piece with an abutment device with a flange for direct contact with the transverse end wall, cooling the abutment device with a cooling medium in order to indirectly cool the flange in order to prevent the flange from adhering to the transverse end wall, and closing the container by relatively displacing the abutment device carrying the end piece and the tubular container.
