Functional principle of the valve

First the glass bottle is pressed on and then it is pre-evacuated several times. The filling process will start as soon as the same pressure prevails in the ring bowl and the bottle. If the liquid level reaches the end of the vent tube, no more gas can escape from the bottle -and the filling valve closes. After a settling phase, the pressure in the head space of the bottle is released via the snifting valve and the filled product exits the machine.
