- the bag-lining is for example glued or sewn inside or outside the mechanically resistant wall.
- This bag-lining end can have a thickness of between 10 and 250 microns. It should be noted that the fabric thicknesses of the wall and the liner-bag are a function of the desired mechanical strength and physicochemical protection.
- the flexible container is provided with one or more discharge chutes, identical or different structure to that of the flexible container.
- each chute possibly provided on the flexible container may be used for emptying or filling said container and may also play the role shutter of an opening for example by means of a plug or a knotted link. This plug could consist of a weld and / or a glue joint.
- Each possible chute may furthermore constitute a connection element of the flexible container to a downstream mechanical recovery or conditioning storage means.
- the flexible container comprises at least one large opening or so-called “total" opening facilitating the filling.
- This large opening can be closed by welding and / or by a knot and / or by an adhesive joint. It is preferable that such a large opening is used only for filling, unlike the openings and / or drain channels as described above.

- At least one inflatable cylinder intended to receive the pressure fluid housed between the piston and a lid for closing the tank or the bottom of the tank, means for supplying fluid-pressure of the inflatable jack, said feeding means in pressurizing fluid allowing the inflation and consequently the displacement of the piston, to allow the expulsion of the viscous product out of the tank,
- the mobile and autonomous expulsion machine comprises at least one pressure fluid reservoir and a pipe connecting the fluid-pressure reservoir to the inflatable cylinder.
- the fluid-pressure is for example chosen from the group of incompressible fluids, preferably from the subgroup of liquids, eg with a viscosity of less than 50 Pa ⁇ s including water or oil or in the group of compressible fluids, with air being preferred.
- the drain tank is designed as an autoclave provided with at least one opening which can be open or closed and serving to introduce and / or evacuate the pressure fluid.
- this autoclave drain tank also includes at least one drain opening for the viscous product.
- the latter is disposed inside a tank 4, open at its upper end and generally cylindrical flat bottom.
- the open upper end of this tank 4, is hermetically closed by a lid 5, reversibly.
- This lid 5 comprises an orifice connected to an outlet duct 6 for conveying the viscous product 2 to a packaging machine included in the packaging kit according to the invention but not shown in the drawing.
- the flexible container 3 or "big bag” of viscous product 2 rests inside the tank 4 on a pressing member constituted by a movable piston 8.
- This pressing piston 8 has a maximum outside diameter slightly smaller than the inside diameter. of the tank 4 (for example 0.1 to 2.5% lower) so as to be able to slide easily.
- a flexible inflating cylinder 9 is housed in the tank 4 between the pressing piston 8 and the bottom of the tank 4.
- This flexible inflation cylinder 9 can be for example of the type marketed by the company PRONAL.

- the connection tank 13 - pump 11 is provided by a pipe 14.
- the pressure fluid 12 may be an incompressible fluid, for example a liquid such as water or oil, or even a compressible fluid such as air.
- it is an incompressible fluid 12 (or oil) in such a case, it is advantageous to provide, in a variant, a cushion filled with compressible gas, for example This air cushion behaves like a buffer for smoothing the flow of the pressure medium 12 and to limit or even eliminate the latency times for the expulsion or the air flow. flow of the viscous product 2 outside the tank 4 through the outlet duct 6.
- the flexible container 3 housed inside the tank 4, has an outlet passage 15 of the viscous product 2.
- This passage 15 is provided in the upper part of the flexible container 3 during storage of the flexible container viscous product of this passage output 15 is closed.
- the closure of the outlet passage 15 is achieved by any appropriate means known to those skilled in the art, for example: bonding, thermo welding, sewing, gluing, stapling, etc.
- This outlet passage 15 is disposed in the vicinity of the orifice of the cover 5 connected to the outlet duct 6 to the conditioner.
- the opening of this outlet passage 15 is made just before the expulsion of the viscous product, that is to say just before the pressurization of the flexible container 3 by the pressure piston 8 actuated by the inflatable cylinder 9.
- the flexible container 3 has an envelope 16 which can be constituted:
- the flexible container 3 must be designed to ensure a minimum loss of material, especially less than 2%.
- the flexible container 3 is a "big bag” container with a cylindrical bottom, without vertical seam, whose diameter is slightly smaller than that of the tank 4, so that the swelling undergone by this flexible container during the pressurization keeps the wall of the flexible container 3 under tension during emptying.
- this wall consists of a polypropylene fabric having a glued inner layer formed by a bonded polyethylene bag-lining.
- This type of mechanically resistant wall has a role of protection during transportation and storage, while its inner layer (“inliner”) seals during the emptying, so that the viscous product flows only through the emptying opening of the envelope of the flexible container when it is pressurized.
- the seal between the head of the pressing piston 8 and the inner face of the tank 4 can be provided by an O-ring not shown in the drawing, which forms a barrier to the migration of the viscous product 2 in the volume compartment variable of the tank 4 containing the inflatable cylinder 9.
- This embodiment with a flexible inflating cylinder 9 is simple to implement and economical. It is also a lightweight press member, non-bulky, which participates in the advantages of the mobile and autonomous machine 1. The latter has the other advantage of being quickly mountable and removable.
- the lid 5 of the tank 4 may be equipped with a safety valve allowing the evacuation of air overpressures.
- the operation of the mobile and autonomous machine 1 is simply to inflate the flexible cylinder 9 with the aid of the pressure fluid, so as to compress the flexible container 3 and thus expel the viscous product 2 contained in this flexible container 3 to the outside the tank 4 through the outlet duct 6 towards the conditioner not shown in the drawing.
