# T50 - Loading valve
The loading valve is designed for filling of drums and other containers with a bunghole > 60mm. The pig pushes the product directly into the filling station. Thus the contents of the non-piggable area is fully drained. The loading valve can handle various filling operations such as top level, bottom level and bottom bunghole filling. This valve design allows a fully automated piggable filling plant to be realised.
