Abstract

See full text

A filling machine includes a rotor, a rotor bearing that rotatably mounts the rotor on the machine-frame for rotation about a machine axis, and filling elements disposed on the rotor. Each filling element, together with a container carrier, defines a filling point. The machine includes a filling-material boiler arranged on the rotor and configured to rotate with the rotor, as well as a boiler-cover connected to the machine-frame and configured to not rotate with the rotor, and a seal. The seal seals a transition between the boiler cover and the filling-material boiler.
