Line for dispensing and mixing products and related method

Abstract

The invention discloses a line for dispensing and mixing products comprising dispensing means for dispensing one or more pigments in containers of pre-distributed base substances and means for mixing the products; the means for mixing the products are The product contained in said container is manipulated; the dispensing device and the device for mixing the product operate sequentially and automatically. The invention also discloses a method of dispensing and mixing a product comprising: the steps of perforating a container, followed by dispensing one or more colorants in said container; inserting a cap in the hole; and mixing a one or more pigments; wherein said steps of perforating, dispensing, inserting caps and mixing are carried out by means of perforating and dispensing, cap inserting and mixing products, respectively, of a fully enclosed line for dispensing and mixing products . Said steps of perforating, dispensing, inserting caps and mixing are carried out automatically by a line triggered externally by the end user, without the intervention of a skilled operator.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of product manufacturing, where the term "product" refers to the mixture of base substance (the said mixture is usually pre-dispensed and already present in the final container) and the colorant product supplied by the machine forming the claimed subject matter. [0002] In particular, the invention relates to a dispensing and mixing line for obtaining finished products, which is used in shops, commercial centers or the like and thus not in the industrial sector. Background technique [0003] In fact, it is known in industry that there are production lines for products of the "open" type, that is to say, where all steps of dispensing and mixing the product are accessible to the operator (with the necessary safety devices), and a skilled operator can follow the Stations along the line intervene to modify, correct or restore the operating conditions of a given line. [0004] In shops or commercial centers, unsk...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0008] On the second hand, the machine described in WO2007110764 has no separate stations adapted to perform mixing and dispensing operations, provided that the containers are in any case held on a single rotating support

Therefore, possible maintenance operations on the machine are very problematic

[0009] Finally, the machine described in WO2007110764 cannot simultaneously operate on containers of different sizes or shapes
