Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif pour la modification automatisée de la composition d'un mélange comprenant une pluralité de voies de produits, un récipient pour le transport de mélanges pouvant être transporté le long d'une voie de produits. Le dispositif comprend en outre une pluralité de voies de composants, qui sont disposées perpendiculairement aux voies de produits. Un dispositif pour l'ajout ou la réception d'un composant et disposé sur chaque voie de composants, lequel est disposé ou peut être positionné dans une jonction d'une voie de composants avec une voie de produits. Le récipient pour le transport de mélanges peut être positionné par rapport à chaque dispositif pour l'ajout ou l'extraction d'un composant de telle façon que la teneur en composant du mélange peut être modifiée par le dispositif d'ajout ou d'extraction d'un composant.
