Abstract: A dye batching machine has a dispensing head and several tanks arranged radially around the dispensing head. The tanks are connected to the dispensing head by means of Victaulic couplings. Each tank is fitted with dye measuring systems and dye mixing systems. A motor system is located above the dispensing head for controlling the dye measuring and mixing systems in the tanks and one or more vertical supports for the motor system are arranged radially around the dispensing head. The lower part of the vertical supports has two or more flat walls that are inserted into free spaces adjacent the Victaulic couplings.
