The method comprises the steps of sequentially taking containers filled in a multi-station filling machine, of weighing each of said taken containers, of comparing said weighing to a preset value for the filling devices of the filling machine and of establishing a correlation between each taken and weighed filled container and the corresponding filling station of the filling machine. In a filling machine comprising a rotation filling apparatus having n filling stations, the control device comprises at least a rotating transfer apparatus arranged in series with the rotating filling apparatus with interposition of at least an intermediary transfer wheel. The rotating transfer apparatus comprises n1 stations among which n1-1 passive stations and a control weighing station provided with a balance, numbers n and n1 being incommensurable numbers. Controlled actuating means are provided on the circular path of the filling devices of the rotating filling apparatus for cooperation with controllably actuable members of said filling devices to vary the setting of said filling devices in accordance with the measured control weighings on the rotating transfer apparatus.

A method of automatically controlling an apparatus for filling containers including a plurality of filling stations, each having a controllable filling device, each actuated individually for delivering a metered amount of filling material into continuously successively forwarded containers during a filling cycle, comprising the following steps: sequentially automatically taking individual containers among the successive containers filled at stations in the filling apparatus; weighing successively each of said thus taken filled containers at a movable control weighing station on a continuous conveying path for the containers; comparing each said weighing to a predetermined value image of said metered amount of filling material to be delivered into each container; establishing a correlation between each container which has been weighed at said control weighing station and the corresponding said filling station of said filling apparatus where each said weighed container has been filled; and automatically correcting, as a result of said control weighing, the corresponding said filling device of the filling apparatus.
