  • the mixing distributor device denoted 34a in FIG Fig. 2 illustrated embodiment is configured such that upon provision of a communication path between the input terminal 15d of the input disk 17b and one of the output terminals 16a, 16b, 16c of the output disk 18b, for example, the output terminal 16a, the remaining output terminals 16b, 16c are blocked.
  • the second mixing manifold device 34a is configured such that the output terminals (for example, 16b, 16c), which are not connected to the input terminal 15d, are not blocked, but after the corresponding flushing of the associated Fluid supply line 26 b, 26 c remain open.
  • the output terminals for example, 16b, 16c
  • hose crimping elements or the like, instead of a disclosed in the patent applications of the Applicants described above manifold distributor.
  • a first mixing distributor device 34a has an input disk 17a, and an output disk 18a.
  • the input disk 17a has - for the sake of simplicity - only one input terminal 15a
  • the output disk 18a has - also for the sake of simplicity - only two output terminals 16a, 16b.
  • the output port 16a is connected to a second mixing manifold 34b via a first intermediate pipe 35a and the second pipe 16b is connected to a third mixing manifold 34c via a second intermediate pipe 35b.
  • the second mixing distributor device 34b likewise has an input disk 17b and an output disk 18b, which are rotatable relative to each other about an axis of rotation 19b.
  • the third mixing manifold 34c has a first input disk 17c and a second output disk 18c which are rotatable relative to each other about an axis of rotation 19c.
  • Each of the two output disks 18b, 18c has three output ports 16c, 16d, 16e and 16f, 16g, 16h, respectively.
  • metering device 10c There is the possibility to the metering device 10c a variety, in the present embodiment of the Fig. 3 to connect a total of six target devices. For the sake of clarity, in Fig. 3 but only two target devices 11a and 11f are shown.
  • the metering device 10c can also control or prevent a collision of simultaneous metering requests of different target devices 11a, 11f via the communication interface 22 by means of the collision prevention device 36 integrated into the control unit 21.
  • Fig. 3 shows a cascade of Mischverteiler sensibleen 34a, 34b, 34c, with the result that a plurality of target devices 11a, 11b can be fed by means of a single metering device 10c with a medium or with different media.
  • Fig. 3 Also includes such variants, in which to the metering device 10 a plurality of containers, in particular a plurality of different media, are connected.
  • the device 36 for collision prevention can be an integral part of the corresponding control unit 21 on the metering device 10, or can also be formed separately from this.
  • the device 36 for collision prevention can be formed by a microprocessor, or be part of the control unit 21 of the metering device 10, 10a, 10b, 10c.
