Abstract
The present invention relates to a method of finishing and filling packaging containers which are manufactured from foldable packaging material and which have previously been sealed and are preferably sterilized interiorly and have been transported in a flat-laid state to, for example, a food producer. The prefabricated, compressed packaging containers are connected to a piston pump which, with the aid of an overfill operation, expands and forms the packaging container, whereafter a proportion of the contents of the packaging container is resucked out of the container so that the packaging container holds a predetermined nominal volume of contents. Hereafter, the packaging container is sealed and finally formed into the desired configuration, such as a parallelepipedic configuration. An apparatus for finishing and filling packaging containers is also disclosed.
