Abstract

A valve is described for the dosaged filling of fluids in packages, with a housing (1) with feed pipe (24), a mouthpiece (2) on the front face and an outlet device (14), with a closure body (3) able to be driven movably in the housing (1), able to be brought into engagement with a valve seat and having at the front a valve cone (32) and there behind a thickened central part, and with rear sealing devices (5). So that both fluids similar to water and also those with a fibre content can be filled in a dosaged manner without the risk of clogging and at the same time without relative movements between packaging and outlet device (14) a fluid jet with little to no included air is achieved at a low outlet speed, provision is made according to the invention that the thickened central part (36) of the closure body (3) is provided on its peripheral region with a ring of flow ducts (37, 38) extending in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the mouthpiece (2) which, being open toward the front and toward the rear open into the interior (46, 47) formed by the housing (1).
