Abstract

A device for decanting a pressurized liquid into packaging containers, such as ampules, vials, or the like, having a reservoir for the liquid and a distributor that is connected to the reservoir via a supply line. A sterilizing filter is interposed in the supply line. In order to make it possible for the distributor to be completely emptied, the device embodies a separate pressure connection which applies a second pressure on the distributor so that the liquid disposed in the distributor is acted on with a second gas pressure (P2).
