The present disclosure is directed to a machine for filling at least one container with a pourable product. The machine includes a conveyor; at least one filling unit configured to engage the at least one container; and a weighing device coupled to the at least one filling unit and configured to provide weighing information related to a weight of the at least one container during a filling operation. The weighing device includes a support unit having a supporting arm configured to hold the at least one container and configured to be elastically deformed as a function of the weight of the at least one container being filled; and a sensing unit configured to provide a contactless sensing, wherein the sensing unit is configured to detect a distance from the supporting arm to a portion of the machine facing the supporting arm, the weight of the container being a function of the distance.
