Abstract
An apparatus for metering and introducing a liquid into packaging containers has a liquid-introducing device with liquid-introducing heads, which are connected to a supply container via a distributor. Arranged in the distributor are a pressure sensor, which determines a pressure (P1) prevailing in the liquid, and, if appropriate, a temperature sensor. The pressure and temperature are sensors connected to a control device to permit, together with two weighing devices, likewise connected to the control device, a precise weight regulation of a desired filling quantity (M) to be introduced into the packaging containers. The arrangement and design of the pressure and temperature sensors makes possible precise metering of the desired filling quantity (M) and simple exchange of the supply container.
