摘要： Machine (1) for distributing a product stored in a container (30) comprising a storage zone (2) delimiting locations (4) for housing a container (30), a metering station (5) delimiting a chamber (6) housing a support (7) for accepting a collecting vessel (33), this support (7) being positioned vertically in line with an opening (8) providing access to the chamber (6), which opening is arranged in an upper part (61) of the chamber (6), the machine (1) further comprising a system (10) for emptying each location (4) for housing a container (30) through the opening (8) providing access to the chamber (6), and a unit (14) for controlling the machine (1). The metering station (5) comprises a sensor (13) for detecting the presence of a collecting vessel (33) inside said chamber (6). The control unit (14) is configured to operate the machine (1) on the basis of data supplied by said sensor (13), and the metering station (5) is equipped with a circuit (15) for the circulation of gaseous fluid providing communication between the chamber (6) and the outside of said chamber (6) through a forced circulation of air.

摘要： A method of assisting in refilling a container (11) with liquid, the container comprising a flexible pouch that is refillable with liquid, outer packaging (15) for the pouch, and a valve (16) for opening/closing the pouch, said pouch being a compressible pouch that can be shrunk inside the outer packaging (15) under the action of pressure exerted on the outside surface of the pouch, and said valve (16) comprising a valve body (17) provided with an orifice (18) and a shutter for the orifice (18) mounted to move inside the valve body (17) between an open position and a closed position for the orifice (18) so as to enable the pouch to be emptied when the pouch is in the compressed state and the orifice (18) of the valve (16) is open.
In order to refill the pouch subsequently with liquid, said method comprises a step of opening the orifice (18) of the valve (16), and a step of inflating the pouch by blowing gas into the inside of the pouch via the orifice (18) of the valve (16) in the open position.
