- nozzles 2 serve not only to fill the containers but also to ensure that the supply pipes 7 are placed in series with the return pipes 10 to ensure that the targeted product is maintained in the regulation circuit 23.
- the valve 15 When it is desired to change the product, the valve 15 is closed and the product remaining in the installation is emptied.
- the emptying step which will now be detailed also applies if the N4 sensor detects an absence of product at its level signifying that the first supply tank 3 is empty. In the latter case, it is then not compulsory to close the valve 15.
- For emptying we continue to fill the containers as during the production phase until the product drops below the level of the NI sensors. and N2 then flows out of the multi-way connecting member 11 and of the supply 7 and return 10 pipes thanks to the placing in series of these different pipes at the level of the nozzles 2. The nozzles 2 are thus supplied with product both using supply lines 7 and return lines 10.
- valve 20 it is also possible to open the valve 20 to maintain sufficient pressure in the installation in order to distribute the product.
- valves 15, 26 and 22 are then closed and the pump 14 stopped.

- This quantity of residual product is then sucked in, advantageously using the suction channel 30.
- suction means are connected to the connector 32 of said suction channel 30 before activating said means for sucking. the residual product by keeping the valves 9 closed.
- the product thus sucked up successively passes through the junction portion 34, the distribution portion 33 and the connecting section 31 before exiting the spout body 6, the filling station and the installation 1.
- Once the product has been sucked up it is separates the suction means from the installation 1.
- the aspirated product can then be discarded or sold in degraded form, for example by diluting it. There is therefore only a very small loss of product associated with this feed tank change process.
- the pump 14 is activated to admit the product under pressure from the second supply tank 13 into the general supply duct 12 and thus into the different supply pipes 7 and nozzles 2.
- a new production cycle can then begin.

- the control unit controls the pump 114 from the data transmitted by the various sensors (NI, N2, N3, N4, PI and P2) and a target filling rate at the spouts 102. For example, to stop the admission of pressurized product into the general supply line 112, the control unit can control the pump 114 to stop the admission. product under pressure in the general supply duct 112 when a determined time has elapsed from the moment when the sensor N3 has detected that the product has reached and exceeded its level.
- valve 129 In order to prepare the installation for the distribution of the product, the valve 129 is then closed and the valve 122 is then open to allow pressurized air to enter the regulation circuit 123 and the pump 114 is also controlled to allow if necessary a rise of product in the first supply tank 103.
- the valves 109 are always closed.
- the level of product in the regulation circuit 123 is thus gradually lowered until the quantity of product necessary to ensure the packaging of the product while allowing regulation is reached. There is thus a partial purge of product from the regulation circuit 123.
- control unit controls the pump 114 according to the data transmitted by the pressure sensors PI and P2 and the presence sensors NI, N2, N3 and N4 in order to reach the quantity of product targeted in the regulation circuit. 123 and the target filling rate at the level of the nozzles 102.
- the quantity of product in the regulation circuit 123 in fact makes it possible to play on the dispensing flow rate at the level of the nozzles 102.
- the pump 114 is controlled so that the product descends to the level of the sensor N2.
- the level of product in the installation then corresponds at least to the total volume of the bodies 106 of the filling spouts and of the supply conduits 107 of the filling spouts.
- the pump 114 is activated to admit the product under pressure from the first supply tank 103 into the general supply duct 112 and thus into the various supply pipes 107 and the spouts 102 .
