Filling machines comprising a rotatable assembly having a central axis and rotatable thereon, said rotatable assembly having entrance means positioned to receive bottles from the upstream side of a conveyor, discharge means to discharge said bottles to the downstream side of a said conveyor, power means to rotate said rotatable assembly on said central axis through a rotational pathway, rotational drive and support means to continuously move said bottles around said rotational pathway supported with their longitudinal axis radially directed toward said central axis of said rotatable assembly and their entrance apertures facing toward said central axis,

said rotational pathway having a bottle inverted portion between the nine o'clock and three o'clock positions moving clockwise from the nine o'clock to three o'clock position, bottle filling machines portion between the three o'clock and nine o'clock positions moving clockwise from the three o'clock to nine o'clock position, and filling means to fill said bottles with a selected fluid material only while being continuously moved through at least a part of said bottled water equipment of said rotational pathway, said filling means including fluid conduit means to flow fluid into said bottles while they are being rotated.
