Abstract:
A dispenser delivering flowable or pourable material has a line for transporting the material from a container to an outlet end of the line. The line, filled with material, has its inlet end in the container or connected to the container. A stop valve controls dispensing of the material from the outlet end and a control controls opening and closing of the valve. The line has an elastic section inserted in the valve and the valve is a pinch valve for the stationary compression of the elastic section and therefore for closure of the line. The control controls an opening time of the valve for delivery of a defined quantity of material into a sample vessel, wherein this opening time is exclusively determined by properties of the material and properties of the line filled with material.
