For filling a tube (20) with a product, a rotatable filling pipe (18) is provided over which the folded-up tube extends. The product is pumped or moved through the filling pipe into the tube. A damming and distributing body (38) connected to the filling pipe is arranged in the tube downstream of the discharge end (40) of the filling pipe in order to distribute the product in the tube and to increase the pressure in the filled tube. The damming and distributing body is connected via a carrier (32) to a rotatable drive arranged on the end, opposite the discharge end, of the filling pipe. The rotating damming and distributing body exerts a torque on the product in the tube so that, by rotation of the tube, a tube element filled with the product is produced. In the above-described manner, the product is readily distributed in the tube and the pressure of the product in the tube is increased. IMAGE
