A device for co-metering liquid and/or pasty products includes: a first metering unit for metering a first product; a second metering unit for metering a second product; and a nozzle including a first duct supplied by the first metering unit and opening out into a first orifice, a second duct supplied by the second metering unit and opening out into a second orifice, and a third duct opening out into a third orifice. The device is configured such that the third duct is supplied by the first and second metering units such that a mixture of the first and second products is discharged by the third orifice.

A liquid dispensing system for dispensing two or more liquids of different composition, viscosity, solubility and/or miscibility at high filling speeds into a container through a unitary dispensing nozzle to improve homogeneous mixing of such liquids, while said nozzle is an integral piece free of any movable parts.

The invention relates to a device for co-metering liquid and/or pasty products, including: a first metering unit (41) for metering a first product; a second metering unit (42) for metering a second product (P2); a nozzle (B) including a first duct (1) supplied by the first metering unit (41) and opening out into a first orifice (11), a second duct (2) supplied by the second metering unit (42) and opening out into a second orifice (21), and a third duct (3) opening out into a third orifice (31), the device being configured such that the third duct (3) is supplied by the first and second metering units (41, 42), such that a mixture of the first and second products is discharged by said third orifice (31). The invention also relates to an associated metering method.

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.

Embodiments include piston filling apparatuses having first and second piston pumps in fluid communication with supply reservoirs. The first and second piston pumps can each draw in a volume of fluid and simultaneously expel a volume of fluid. Fluid expelled by the first and second piston pumps can be mixed in a manifold and allowed to flow through a filler nozzle by a filler valve. Other embodiments are also included herein.

A liquid dispensing and vending apparatus comprises filling module(s), user container holder(s), positioning mechanism(s) and controller module(s). The filling module(s) comprise: machine container(s) configured to hold liquid(s), nozzle(s) configured to dispense liquid(s) to user container(s), and measuring pump module(s) configured to pump a measured amount of liquid(s) from machine container(s) to nozzle(s). The user container holder(s) are configured to hold user container(s). Positioning mechanism(s) align user container holder(s) with filling module(s). Controller module(s) execute production instructions causing liquid formulations to be dispensed into user container(s).

A method of filling containers that can be used to fill containers during successive filling cycles with the same or different fluid compositions at high rates of speed, with little to no machinery changeover, and/or with little to no fluid waste.

A container filling assembly that can be used with container filling systems to fill containers during successive filling cycles with the same or different fluid compositions at high rates of speed, with little to no machinery changeover, and/or with little to no fluid waste.
