Abstract: Apparatus for the storage, delivery and mixing of fluid substances. The aratus consists of a compact, pre-assembled, movable operative unit, enabling the storage of a large number of substances and the management of a large number of delivery points in an extremely small area. The apparatus comprises a conveyor and at least one set of storage tanks on a support frame along one or both sides of the conveyor; pumping device and a multi-valve delivery head are provided for supplying metered quantities of the substances to be mixed, in a container positioned on a conveyor section above an electronic scale. The electronic scales and corresponding section of the conveyor are laterally translatable on a vertically movable shelf to selectively position a mixing container under a multi-valve unit according to an operative program governed by a programmable control unit; a mixer is provided at the end of the conveyor which is opposite the multi-valve unit.

Abstract: An apparatus for delivering metered quantities of a fluid substance into a container, under the control of a programmable process unit, and a weighing device; a main storage tank is provided to fill by gravity a pressurizable auxiliary vessel connected to the inlet of delivery valves having different flow rates. The process unit is programmed to modulate the flow rates and to control the delivery time of the valves as a function of control signals received from a weighing device; the auxiliary vessel is hermetically sealed and connected to an air pressure source, to provide a constant pneumatic head in the vessel under the control of the process unit, at each delivery.

Abstract: An automated system for loading, unloading and storing articles from a roy store, and for transporting them into a work area by a self-powered trolley vehicle provided with gripping members; the self-powered vehicle and the rotary store (10) are each provided with interactive computer units which can communicate with each other by a wireless connecting system comprising directional data receiving and transmitting units to provide the computer unit of the rotary store with article storing data received by the computer unit of the self-powered vehicle from a central control unit.
