Abstract:
1. A rotary weight filler comprising a plurality of filling devices which are disposed along an outer periphery of a revolving body at an equal circumferential spacing, a filling valve for opening or closing a filled liquid passage which is formed in each of the filling devices, a plurality of weight measuring devices mounted on the revolving body in a manner corresponding to the filling devices, and a controller for controlling the opening or closing of a corresponding filling valve in response to a signal from the corresponding weight measuring device, thereby filling a given quantity of liquid into a vessel; wherein the operation is selectively changed between a first operational mode where a filling operation takes place after measuring the tare of the vessel and a second operational mode where a filling operation takes place without measuring the tare of a vessel, and whenever the second operational mode is selected, the value of the tare which is measured during the first operational mode is regarded as the tare of each vessel supplied during the second operational mode and the filling operation is initiated at a point upstream of a point where the filling operation is initiated during the first operational mode.
