Once the resistance 10 reaches an operating temperature, for example measured by a sensor included in the mixing system or simply at the end for a determined time, the control means starts the water pump 2 connected to the first water compartment 27 of the tank 1 to initiate the circulation of water towards the compartment 4 of the receptacle 3 comprising the capsule of cosmetic fat 7.
  • the solenoid valve 19 connected to this compartment 4 is therefore opened by the control means so that a first volume of hot liquid calculated by the control means from the data of the flow meter 21 enters the fat capsule 7. to melt the fat. Once this first volume of water has entered the capsule 7, the control means closes the solenoid valve 19.
  • the control means rotates the selector plate 16 so that the orifice 39 of said selector plate 16 is placed in fluid communication with the outlet 38a of this compartment 4 to allow the flow of the mixture of water and melted fat into the container.
  • the motor controlling the rotation of the toothed ring 23 is rotated, inducing the rotation of the piston 12a and the fins 22 of the mixing member to create an emulsion from the mixture of hot water and cosmetic fat. flowing into the container 11.
  • the control means opens, at the end of the flow into the container 11 of this first volume of hot water mixed with the melted cosmetic fat, the solenoid valve 19 to allow the flow through the capsule of a second volume of water in order to rinse the capsule 7 of the remaining fat.
  • the solenoid valve 19 connected to the compartment 4 of the receptacle 3 comprising the capsule of cosmetic fat 7 is closed, the resistance of the heating block 10 is no longer supplied and the water pump 2 connected to the first water compartment 27 of tank 1 is stopped by the control means.
  • the water pump 18 connected to the second water compartment 28 of the tank 1 and to the cooling water circulation block 17 is started for a given time to cool the emulsion in the container 11.
  • the control means optionally stops the water pump 18 connected to the block of circulation of cooling water 17 and controls the rotation of the selector plate 16 so that its orifice 39 is in fluid communication with the outlet 38b of the compartment 5 of the receptacle 3 in which the capsule of cosmetic active ingredient 8 is housed.
  • the capsule 8 then empties into the container 11.
  • the control means controls the rotation of the selector plate 16 so that its orifice 39 is in fluid communication with the outlet 38c of the compartment 6 of the receptacle 3 in which the perfume capsule cosmetic 9 is housed, and the latter empties into the container 11.
  • the control means activates the water pump 2 connected to the first water compartment 27 of the tank 1, opens the solenoid valve 20 connected to compartments 5 and 6 of the receptacle 3 comprising the cosmetic active ingredient capsule 8 and the perfume capsule 9.
  • Cold rinsing water is introduced into the capsules 8 and 9, the contents of the capsule 9 emptying directly into the container 11.
  • the control means closes the solenoid valve 20, stops the pump 18 and then controls the rotation of the selector plate 16 so that its orifice 39 returns to fluid communication with the orifice 38b of the compartment 5 comprising the capsule of active principle 8 which then empties into the container 11.
  • the electric motor which drives the piston 12a and the fins 22 of the rotating mixing member 12 remains powered, allowing the incorporation into the emulsion of the mixture of water and active cosmetic principle as well as the mixture of water and perfume.
  • the control means deenergizes the motor intended to drive the toothed ring 23, which stops the piston 12a and the fins 22 of the mixing member 12, when the product cosmetic reaches a temperature below 35°C, or even 30°C, or after a specific time.
  • the user can then recover the container 11 with the piston 12a which acts as a bottom wall.
  • a lid can be placed on the opening of the container 11 to protect the cosmetic product from the air and preserve it. More precisely, the user lowers the base 25, clips the lid onto the container 11 and unclips the container 11 from the toothed ring 23. He can then raise the lever 34 and remove the removable assembly formed by the receptacle 3 and the plate selector 16 to throw away the used capsules and rinse the removable assembly.
  • the user can use the container 11 removed from the mixing system and filled with the cosmetic product produced using the mixing system as a storage and distribution bottle for the cosmetic product.
  • a head closes the opening of the container 11 opposite the piston 12a, this head comprising a pump for dispensing the cosmetic product provided with a manually actuable trigger.
  • the head includes a rigid tube dipping into the cosmetic product.
  • This dispensing pump head and trigger is well known to those skilled in the art, and is found for example on certain cosmetic cream bottles.
  • a volume of cosmetic product is distributed at the outlet of the head.
  • the configuration of the mixing system of the invention is not limited to the embodiment described above and shown in the figures. It has only been given as a non-limiting example. Multiple modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the invention.
  • the container 11 of the mixing device may be non-removable and the mixing member 12 then comprises a propeller mounted at the bottom of the container 11 on an axis coaxial with the latter. This axis is mounted in the bottom wall of the container 11 and is capable of being driven by an electric motor mounted in the mixing system and controlled by the control means of the mixing system.
  • the container 11 includes a time-controlled valve in its bottom wall to allow the flow of the emulsion by gravity.
  • this valve can be operated manually, and the cosmetic product flows by gravity into the bottle if the latter is relatively fluid, or by excess pressure applied in the container 11 by an appropriate hydraulic or pneumatic system if the product is too thick or viscous .
  • a set of solenoid valves whose inlets are placed in fluid communication respectively with the outlets 38a, 38b, 38c of the respective compartments 4, 5, 6 of the receptacle 3.
