  • Patent number: 6814869
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for the preparation of solutions to be manufactured from at least two concentrates and a solvent. After placing of two concentrate holders into associated recipients, both concentrate holders are connected using a single connector having two connection states. In a first connection state, solvent flows to the first concentrate holder, with the solution being led into a collection holder and, after the flushing of the concentrate from the first concentrate holder, the connector moves to a second connection state in which an automatic connecting of the second concentrate holder takes place, whereupon solvent flows through the second concentrate holder and the solution is likewise supplied to the collection holder.

  • Publication number: 20030024880
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for the preparation of solutions to be manufactured from at least two concentrates and a solvent. First and second concentrate holders are connected to a solvent source by respective feed lines and to a collection holder by respective discharge lines. The solvent source is connected to the first concentrate holder when a connector is in a first position and to the second concentrate holder when the connector is in a second position. Solvent flows through the first concentrate holder and the solution is led into the collection holder and, after the flushing of the concentrate from the first concentrate holder, the second concentrate holder is automatically connected through movement of the connector from the first to the second position, whereupon solvent flows through the second concentrate holder and the solution is likewise supplied to the collection holder.
