Some embodiments relate to a metering device, including: a metering chamber; a piston separating the metering chamber into a supply compartment and a metering compartment, the piston including a passage between the two compartments; a valve for closing the passage, allowing the passage of the product when same is in the open position; and movement mechanisms of the valve. The valve includes drive mechanisms of the piston arranged on either side of the piston in such a way that the movement of the valve in a discharge direction drives the movement of the piston in the discharge direction and the movement of the valve along the length of the cylinder body in a transfer direction, and drives the movement of the piston.

The present disclosure relates to a dispenser assembly for accurate dispensation of cosmetic compounds for custom cosmetic formulations. The dispenser assembly includes a dispensing motor coupled to a dispensing plunger which, according to prescribed speed profiles, dispenses accurate volumes of compounds for custom cosmetic formulations.

A method for reverse-filling cosmetic material having an irreversible property and a cosmetic container filled therewith, including the steps of: sealing the top part of the cosmetic inner container, the top and bottom of which are open, with a filling mold, and turning the cosmetic inner container upside down to reverse-position the cosmetic inner container so that the sealed top part of the cosmetic inner container is directed downward and the open bottom part thereof is directed upward; and filling the cosmetic inner container through the bottom part thereof with the cosmetic material. In so doing, the top surface of the cosmetic material filled in the cosmetic container is smooth without any bumps, moisture seepage phenomenon is prevented, and cosmetic material having excellent applicability can be provided as the hardness thereof is relatively low by reverse-filling the cosmetic container with cosmetic material having an irreversible property, such as agar.

The invention relates to a device for dosing into a container (2) a pasty food product including solid pieces and a sauce. The device comprises an metering nozzle (1) comprising a main outlet to which the pasty food product with solid pieces is provided by a first channel (13) of the nozzle (1), and at least two peripheral outlets situated at a periphery of the main outlet to which the sauce is provided by corresponding second channels (14). The device comprises a support (3) for holding a container (2) to be filled from the nozzle (1), and is configured so that the metering nozzle moves, relative to the support (3), following a path around a central axis of said support. A corresponding system and a method are also provided.

A pump system (100) including an overtube adapter (140) and an overtube (150) attached to the overtube adapter (140), the overtube (150) capable of being selectively attached to the overtube adapter (140) to provide different overtube (150) aesthetics for pump systems and fragrance products.

A mixing-dosage apparatus for rotary machines for packaging containers includes a mixing portion and a dosage portion. The two portions have a selective fluid connection using a flow control valve, which acts between the two portions so as to feed the dosage duct with consecutive loads of mixed food mass. Each load has a volume that is approximately equal to the volume of the mixing chamber.
