Abstract: A fluid-agitating tank assembly is disclosed. The tank assembly includes a tank filled with a fluid, and an agitator disposed in the tank so as to be at least partially immersed in the fluid and supported by the tank in a rotatable manner about an axis. The agitator includes a double helix disposed in an upper volume of the tank and adapted to act on the fluid to transform unidirectional rotation of the agitator about the axis into a bidirectional movement of the fluid in the tank towards bottom and top portions of the tank, and at least one rotary blade projecting transversally from the axis, disposed in a lower volume of the tank, and rotating about the axis to move the fluid towards at least one lateral outlet of the tank.

Abstract: A filling unit is disclosed. The filing unit includes a tubular body defining an axial passage for fluids and delimiting at one end a delivery mouth; a first fluidic line including the entire passage of the tubular body and fed in use with a cleaning liquid; a second fluidic line, which includes a portion of the axial passage and which is fed in use with the pourable product or the cleaning liquid; a shutter housed within the passage and selectively moved to open or to close the delivery mouth; and an electromagnetic actuator for moving the shutter and having an external stator, and a movable element connected to the shutter and coaxially housed inside the passage so as to allow a fluid flow through the passage.

Abstract: There is disclosed a conveying apparatus for articles, provided with a first conveyor having an inlet section for articles to be conveyed and an outlet section for the articles, and with a second conveyor which can be selectively set in communication with a transfer section of the first conveyor; the first conveyor is selectively set in a first operative release configuration of the articles at the outlet section and in at least one second operative release configuration of the articles at its transfer section; the second conveyor is selectively set in a first operative withdrawal configuration of the articles from the first conveyor at its transfer section and at least in one second operative inhibition configuration of this withdrawal.
