Abstract: A working line is for fluidic or fluid products contained in pre-dosed containers. The container includes a cover and/or lid for closing the container. The working line includes a first manipulation station having a manipulator to manipulate the cover and/or lid to remove the cover and/or lid from the container to open the container. A working station carries out at least one operation on the fluid product contained in the container after the removal of the cover and/or lid from the container. A second manipulation station includes a manipulator to manipulate the cover and/or lid to associate the cover and/or lid with the container to close the container. A transportation system moves the pre-dosed containers among different stations. The working station is located between the first manipulation station and the second manipulation station. The manipulator manipulates covers and/or lids associable with the container through joint-type and/or screw-type devices.

Abstract: A method automatically controls stores for a processing line for containers pre-dosed with fluid products. The identifying code for each container is determined and then checked whether the container is necessary for production orders received. The container is introduced into a first store and the quantity and identifying codes of the containers in the first store are recorded. Production orders are checked for products yet to be started. The containers are picked up and sent towards a first manipulation station and at least one production order of a product is processed and the containers are sent towards different stations. Quality control inspection is conducted and if the product is compliant, introduced into a second store. Containers with non-compliant product are introduced into a control line. The quantity of containers in the second store is recorded and the containers are sent towards a packaging station to fulfill production orders.

Abstract: A machine for removal and extraction of a lid for containers includes: a centering element, for aligning the machine above the container; a gripping device for acting upon a contained lid, being capable of disengaging the lid from the container and holding the same lid; a first device for moving said gripping device along a vertical axis, between first and second positions, proximal to, and away from said centering element and a support structure, fixed to said centering element, for supporting said first device. The gripping device takes first and second operating configurations, wherein it does not act upon said lid, and wherein it does act upon a protruding portion of the lid. The centering element has an abutment portion to abut against an upper container edge, and to prevent the container from moving, without exerting any force upon said edge.

Abstract: A machine for removal and extraction of a lid for containers includes: a centering element, for aligning the machine above the container; a gripping device for acting upon a contained lid, being capable of disengaging the lid from the container and holding the same lid; a first device for moving said gripping device along a vertical axis, between first and second positions, proximal to, and away from said centering element and a support structure, fixed to said centering element, for supporting said first device. The gripping device takes first and second operating configurations, wherein it does not act upon said lid, and wherein it does act upon a protruding portion of the lid. The centering element has an abutment portion to abut against an upper container edge, and to prevent the container from moving, without exerting any force upon said edge.

The agitators include a locking mechanism for removably fixing the agitator to the respective container.

Abstract: A multiple weighing scale includes a first measuring device and at least a second measuring device; both for detecting masses of objects. The weighing scale includes a single measuring plate, which is shared by all the measuring devices, arranged in contact with the first measuring device at least in an initial operating configuration and at least one first mobile structure, for selectively moving the second measuring device so as to selectively cause the second measuring device to come into contact with the measuring plate, in order to allow the measurement to be performed by the second measuring device instead of the first measuring device.

Abstract: Assembly of a tintometric machine and a trolley includes an external frame and a dispenser system. The dispenser system dispenses a fluid into a vessel or container, when the vessel or container is positioned in a dispensing station. The trolley includes: a supporting top, whereon the container can be positioned; rotary elements allowing the trolley to move; a gripping element, through which the user can grip the trolley and move it. The dispensing station has a housing into which the trolley can be positioned. The assembly includes a plug-socket system, wherein a first part of the system is located on the trolley and a second part is located in the dispensing station. The parts of the system can be assembled together when the trolley is placed into the housing of the dispensing station, for the purpose of conducting an electric current. The trolley includes an actuating device that can move the supporting top.

Abstract: A tintometric machine includes an external frame made from rigid material, which defines an internal area. The internal area houses at least one dispenser system, which can dispense at least one fluid, such as paint or dye, into a vessel or container. The dispenser system of the tintometric machine, includes one or more dispenser mechanisms and a plurality of canisters or containers. Each of the dispenser mechanisms includes at least one pump and at least one valve assembly, and the canisters or containers are connected to one or more dispenser mechanisms. The external frame of the machine has a shell-shaped structure that can be opened to divide the machine into at least two portions. Each portion contains a part of the dispenser system. By dividing the machine into portions, an inspection area is defined between the portions, which is accessible to an operator.

Abstract: A dispenser machine includes a dispenser device with a valve assembly. The valve assembly includes at least one distribution duct, at least one distribution nozzle connected to a second end of the distribution duct, at least one first shutter, and at least one valve body, operationally interposed along the distribution duct. The valve assembly includes a closing device for closing the nozzle. The closing device has at least one obstructing element acting upon an aperture of the nozzle for selectively opening or closing the nozzle, and a mechanical connector for connecting the obstructing element to the first shutter, so that switching the shutter will cause the obstructing element to be switched. The shutter is adapted to translate within the valve body between first and second configurations, causing the corresponding obstructing element to switch, respectively, between the closed condition and the open condition.

Abstract: A device includes a rotary portion, which is mounted so as to rotate on a support structure around a rotation axis (X-X) between an angularly moved away condition and an angularly moved close condition relative to an outlet mouth. A shutter portion pivots relative to the rotary portion around a pivoting axis (Y-Y) lying on a plane that is transverse relative to the rotation axis (X-X). An actuating apparatus moves the rotary portion between the moved away condition and the moved close condition. The shutter portion is suited to pivot around the pivoting axis (Y-Y) from an open position, in which the shutter portion is spaced apart from the outlet mouth, to a closed position, in which the shutter portion lies against the outlet mouth, when the rotary portion shifts from the moved away condition to the moved close condition.

Abstract: Line for dispensing and mixing products, the line having a dispenser (2,2?) dispensing one or more colours inside a container (10,10?) of a pre-dispensed base and a mixer for mixing products (3,3?); the mixer operates on the products contained inside said container. The dispenser (2,2?) and the mixer (3,3?) operate sequentially and automatically. A method includes perforation of a container (10,10?), followed by dispensing one or more colours inside said container (10,10?); a step of insertion of a lid in the hole; and a step of mixing one or more colours inside the container. The steps of perforation, dispensing, insertion of lids, and mixing are performed, respectively, through a perforater and dispenser (2,2?), a lid-inserter (21,21?), and a mixer for dispensing and mixing products that are completely closed.
