The pivoting and lifting movements can be performed independently of each other, and are preferably driven by separate electric motors. At least one receiving device 59 is preferably designed as a turret.
[0073] In the receiving device 59, at least one receiving container 94 is arranged to cooperate with the measuring device 91 at least temporarily, particularly standing upright on the support plate 96 and / or measuring plate of the measuring device 91. Alternatively or additionally, the receiving container 94 is arranged in a separate receiving section 92. At least one receiving container 94 has an opening at the top, which is designed, for example, as a circular surface, and for example, as a cone and / or frustocone. Particularly during the pouring and / or dispensing process, a jet of medium and / or droplets, particularly free-falling, enters the receiving container 94 from the pouring opening 54. A vertical line extending through the pouring opening 54 of the operating mechanism 53 (particularly through its tip) is arranged to extend through the opening of the receiving container 94 at least during the pouring process and / or in the pivoted state of the operating mechanism 53 and / or at least one pouring position. The receiving container 94 has a normal passing through its bottom centroid, for example, through the center point of the circular surface of the bottom of the receiving container 94. Preferably, the normal intersects the dispensing opening 54 of the operating mechanism 53 (particularly the endpoint through its tip) at least during the dispensing process and / or in the pivoted state and / or in at least one dispensing position of the operating mechanism 53. In an embodiment, at least one carrier 68 and / or the horizontal pivot axis 64 is arranged horizontally positionably and / or locatingly such that at least one carrier 68 and / or the pivot axis 64 can be positioned and / or arranged from a position where the normal does not intersect the dispensing opening 54 (base position) to another position where the normal intersects the dispensing opening 54 (dispensing position), and / or from a position where the vertical line passing through the dispensing opening does not pass through the opening of the collection container 94 to another position where the vertical line passing through the dispensing opening passes through the opening of the collection container 94 (dispensing position). Preferably, the horizontal positioning occurs in time before the pivoting movement.
[0074] For example, in the base position, the horizontal pivot 64 and / or container 51 and / or receiving device 59 are not arranged above the receiving container 94, and in particular not within the vertical space defined by the opening of the receiving container 94. This simplifies manual mixing and / or dispensing.
[0075] In the pouring position, the opening and / or closing of the closure 58 of the operating mechanism 53 is preferably at least temporarily related to the filling state, filling height, and / or mass of the medium in the receiving container 94. The mass of the medium in the receiving container 94 is preferably determined by the measuring device 91 of the receiving device 59.
[0076] Specifically, as a supplement or alternative to the measuring device 91, a sensor, particularly a camera, is arranged in the output device 04. This sensor preferably measures parameters used to determine the volume and / or mass of the medium flowing from the dispensing opening 54 of the operating mechanism 53 and / or the opening 52 of the container 51. Specifically, the sensor detects at least one stream and / or one drop of medium flowing from the dispensing opening 54. The opening and / or closing of the closure 58 of the operating mechanism 53 in the dispensing position is preferably at least temporarily related to the volume and / or mass of the medium flowing from the dispensing opening 54 of the operating mechanism 53.
[0077] For example, the cleaning station 07 and the output device 04 are arranged opposite each other and / or diametrically. Preferably, the device 01 includes at least one cleaning device 101 in the cleaning station 07, for example. At least a portion of the cleaning device 101 is in contact with at least a portion of the container 51 and / or the operating mechanism 53, particularly with the closure 58 and / or the discharge opening 54 of the operating mechanism 53, at least in a clean state. The cleaning device 101 has at least one cleaning belt 102 and / or a liquid application mechanism 103. For example, the liquid application mechanism 103 applies cleaning liquid to at least one cleaning belt 102, which is preferably hydrophilic and / or absorbent. In particular, two cleaning belts 102 are provided. At least one storage roller 104 and at least one waste roller 106 are provided for at least one cleaning belt 102. In the case of two cleaning belts 102, one storage roller 104 and at least one waste roller 106 are provided respectively, or only one waste roller 106 is provided respectively. The cleaning belt 102 and / or multiple cleaning belts 102 can be conveyed from the storage roller 104 to the waste roller 106, particularly in a rhythmic manner, for example by means of an electric motor 109 that drives at least one waste roller 106. For example, two cleaning belts 102 are conveyed from respective storage rollers 104 to a common waste roller 106. This allows for the removal of contaminants as much as possible, preventing them from adversely affecting subsequent unloading processes.
[0078] At least one pressing element 107 is provided for at least one cleaning belt 102. For example, the pressing element 107 is deformable and / or movable and / or variable in force and / or capable of bearing load.

For example, each cleaning belt 102 is provided with a pressing element 107 and / or a rod 111. Preferably, at least in the cleaning state, the closure 58 and / or the outlet opening 54 of the operating mechanism 53 are in contact with at least one cleaning belt 102, particularly with and / or positioned between two cleaning belts 102. On the side of the cleaning belt 102 opposite to the closure 58 and / or the outlet opening 54 of the operating mechanism 53, the pressing element 107 presses the cleaning belt 102 against the closure 58 and / or the outlet opening 54 of the operating mechanism 53 in the cleaning state. Preferably, a sensor 108, particularly a camera, is arranged in the device 01, especially in the output device 04, for detecting contamination of the container 51 and / or a portion of the operating mechanism 53, particularly the closure 58 and / or the dispensing opening 54 of the operating mechanism 53. Preferably, the cleaning process and / or the process of conveying the container 51 to the cleaning station 04 by the cleaning device 101 are controlled based on the signal from the sensor 108. At least one gripper 26 of the conveying device 03 conveys the container 51 to be cleaned and / or the operating mechanism 53 to be cleaned to the cleaning station 07 and / or removes it from the cleaning station 07, particularly the cleaning device 101. For example, in the cleaning state, the operating mechanism 53 is arranged on the gripper 26 of the conveying device 03. In particular, at least one gripper 26 delivers the closure 58 and / or the dispensing opening 54 of the operating mechanism 53 to the cleaning state.
[0079] Preferably, the device 01 has at least one container filling device for filling at least partially empty containers 51. Multiple assemblies, such as 5-liter cans, can be used and / or replaced in the container filling device without opening the device 01 and / or interrupting ongoing operation.

[0081] Preferably, sensors and / or displays related to the filling status and / or for replacing the assembly are arranged. In particular, visual displays and / or signals regarding recommended and / or required replacements of the container are provided.
[0082] At least one gripper 26 of the conveying device 03 is arranged to deliver the container 51 to be filled to and / or from the container filling device.
[0083] At least one drive device 116 and a plurality of actuators 117 are arranged in the storage device 02 and / or storage components 11, 12 and / or receiving element 13. These actuators 117 at least temporarily rotate the agitator 57 of the drive mechanism 53. The actuators 117 are provided for at least a portion of the storage position 14. The drive element 118 of the agitator 57 is preferably part of a coupling. The actuator 117 has at least one drive element 119 that can be connected to and / or has been connected to the agitator 57. The actuators 117 are arranged above the corresponding storage position 14. The rotation axis 121 of the actuator 117 is arranged on an arc corresponding to the storage position (14). The center point of the arc formed by the rotation axis 121 of the actuator 117 coincides with the pivot axis 21 of the conveying device 03, and / or at least one conveying device 03 is arranged concentrically with the actuators 117 of at least two storage components 11, 12 of the storage device 02. The drive element 119 of the actuator 117 and the drive element 118 of the stirrer 57 can be connected and / or linked together above the container 51 by means of a coupling. Multiple actuators 117 are preferably interconnected in groups by means of a transmission 122 and driven by an electric motor 123.
[0084] Preferably, the first receiving element 13 and the second receiving element 13 are arranged vertically spaced and stacked on top of each other. In particular, a first type of container 51 is provided for the first receiving element 13, and a second type of container 51 is provided for the second receiving element 13. In particular, the distance between the rotation axis 121 of the driver 117 of the first receiving element 13 and the rotation axis 121 of the second receiving element 13 is different in the horizontal direction.
[0085] Device 01 preferably has a computer-aided control device. This control device manages a memory storing properties of the storage location 14 and / or container 51 and / or receiving container 94 and / or the medium and / or material within container 51 and / or receiving container 94, particularly ink and / or ink composition and / or ink quantity and / or ink quality and / or filling height. Information regarding the final product, particularly the quantity and / or properties and / or composition of the ink to be mixed, is also known in this memory. The control device determines the desired storage location 14 of container 51. Based on the storage location 14 and / or the location of container 51, the control device determines information for controlling the conveying device 03. Alternatively or additionally, the control device may also preferably control or regulate the device based on sensors, functions and / or drives, particularly the output device 04 and / or the cleaning station 07 and / or the electric motor of the container filling station.
[0086] The preferred working principle of the system equipped with device 01 is as follows:
[0087] In storage device 02, multiple containers 51 are arranged in storage location 14.
[0088] The first conveying element and / or the first gripper 26 of the conveying device 03 are delivered to a predetermined and / or selected storage location 14 and / or container 51 by pivoting and / or vertically moving and / or horizontally moving. There, the first conveying element and / or the first gripper 26 grips the predetermined container 51, preferably at the operating mechanism 53 of the container 51, particularly at the handle 56 of the operating mechanism 53. In operation, at least one gripper 26 of the conveying device 03 is arranged, for example, horizontally, in a manner that engages with at least one handle 56, particularly the lower end of at least one handle 56 of the operating mechanism 53. The conveying device 03 delivers the container 51 to at least one output device 04 and transfers the container 51 to at least one receiving device 59 of the output device 04. A receiving container 94 for receiving the final product is arranged in the output device 04. The receiving container 94 is, for example, arranged in a separate receiving section 92 of the carrier 93 of the output device 04. At least one dispensing device and / or pouring device 61 moves, in particular, pivots, the container 51 to allow a certain amount of material to be transferred from the container 51, particularly from the outlet, into a receiving container 94 for receiving the final product. Preferably, the receiving container 94, particularly its upper opening for receiving the final product, is arranged directly below the pouring opening 54 of the operating mechanism 53 of the container 51.
[0089] When container 51 is transferred to output device 04, conveying device 03 with a second conveying element and / or a second gripper 26 can pick up a second predetermined and / or selected container 51 from storage location 14. The second conveying element and / or the second gripper 26, together with the second container 51 on the second conveying element and / or the second gripper 26, is moved to output device 04 and receives the first container 51 again. Then, conveying device 03 delivers the second container 51 to output device 04 and transfers the second container 51 to output device 04. Preferably, the first container 51 is secured to conveying device 04 when the second container 51 is transferred to output device 04. Now, the first container 51 returns to its predetermined, and in particular its original, storage location 14. A certain amount of material in output device 04 is also transferred from the second container 51 to the receiving container 94 of the final product. This process can be repeated until the receiving container 94 of the final product has received a predetermined amount of different materials.
[0090] To produce a second final product, the receiving container 94 of the first final product is first removed, for example, by means of a receiving device 59. Then, a second receiving container 94 of the second final product is placed below at least one dispensing device and / or pouring device 61. For example, for this purpose, a carrier 93 with a separate receiving section 92 is vertically raised, and the receiving container 94, previously freestanding on the dispensing device 91, is placed into the separate receiving section 92. The carrier 93 causes the receiving container 94, fixed in the separate receiving section 94, to pivot circumferentially, thereby placing the next receiving container 94 above the dispensing device 91. The carrier 93 is then vertically lowered, allowing the receiving container 94 to be placed freely and / or separately from the separate receiving section 92 on the dispensing device 91. For the second final product, the process including conveying predetermined containers 51 and dispensing the material in these predetermined containers 51 can continue and / or be repeated.
