A method for controlling the rate of filling bottles as they are moved by a rotary table, in which position indicating devices are attached to the pistons which move the filling nozzles up and down in the vertical direction, the position indicating devices are detected just before the bottles are discharged from the rotary table to determine whether filling of the bottles is completed by means of two piston position detecting devices A and B which devices are circumferentially spaced-apart so as to define an included angle q

In a method controlling the filling rate of a rotary filling machine wherein bottles are placed onto a rotary table, vertically reciprocable filling nozzles are moved with the table and are inserted into the bottles while the bottles are moved along a circular path by rotation of the rotary table and a predetermined amount of a substance is filled from the nozzles into the bottles, said rotary filling machine having vertically reciprocable position indicating devices attached to the pistons that move the respective filling nozzles up and down in the vertical direction for indicating the amount of said substance present in the bottles, said method comprising the steps of: immediately prior to removing the respective filled bottles from the table, separately detecting the vertical positions of said position indicating device for each bottle by means of two piston position detecting devices A and B which are circumferentially spaced apart so as to define an included angle q10°to 30°with respect to the center of the rotary table to determine whether filling is completed in the bottle; and adjusting the rotation speed of the rotary table so that the proportion of completely filled bottles detected by the leading detecting device A during each rotation of the rotary table is less than 100% and so that the proportion of completely filled bottles detected by the trailing detecting device B during each rotation of the rotary table is 100%.
