- the same components of the metering devices 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 are not always referred to several times.
- valve piston 15 which is structurally combined with the valve cylinder 7 forms a module which is provided as a pivotable control unit and with which different operating positions can be achieved by respective pivoting positions (arrow S) about the vertical vertical axis M, so that only one stroke movement in the area of the metering piston 8 (arrow D, D ') for conveying the product P is necessary.
- the control unit acts in such a way that in a first swivel position (metering device 4.2) the metering chamber 11 is connected to an inlet channel 14 in the valve cylinder 7 and in a second swivel position (metering device 4.1) the metering chamber 11 is connected to an outlet channel denoted overall by 16, through which the product P is conveyed into the respective cup 5.
- valve piston 15 which is provided as an integral part of the one-piece control unit, forms the lower end of the valve cylinder, designated overall by 7.
- the valve piston 15 is also provided as the lower end of the inlet channel 14.
- a transition opening, generally designated 17, is provided in the valve cylinder 7 immediately above the inner upper side of the valve piston 15 .
- This transition channel 18 is at its upper end directly with the do- sierraum 11 in connection and in the region of its lower end, the metering chamber 11 in the first pivoting position of the control unit (metering device 4.2) can be closed. In the second swivel position, this transition channel 18 is connected to the outlet channel 16 in the valve piston 15 (metering device 4.1).
- control unit in the area of the valve cylinder 7 or the valve piston 15 can be provided with several of the openings or channels described above, so that a large amount of product P is supplied to the metering device 4 in a short time or can be conveyed into the cup 5.
