Abstract
A filling device for filling bags, in particular with granular bulk material, in which there are provided a closeable filler neck (17) which is in connection with a reservoir and at least one pair of clamping arms (14) which are at least indirectly swivellable about a swivelling axle (2) for holding a bag (16) to be filled. In order to achieve a high degree of imperviousness between the bag to be filled (16) and the filler neck (17) it is provided that the filler neck (17) is made of an elastically deformable material and a pressing device (5, 9; 18, 19) is provided which acts on said filler neck and which presses the filler neck (17) flatly together in its pressing position, with two pairs of clamping arms (14) being provided which are arranged on either side of the pressing device (5, 9; 18, 19) or the filler neck (17) respectively, with the clearance of the pairs of clamping arms (14) exceeding the largest extension of the cross section of the filler neck (17) in its pressed state.
