摘要

The equipment comprises: a plurality of containers in the form of bins (19A, 19B, . . . ), at the base of each of which a remotely controlled dispenser (21A; 21B; . . . ) can supply approximate quantities of the product by allowing it to fall from the corresponding container; channels (33A) capable of collecting the products supplied and of discharging them via a deflector (39) toward one or other of two housings (15A; 15B) for a packaging wrapper (5A, 5B) designed to package product received from the hopper, a grinder (15) being positioned above one (15B) of the housings. A computerized apparatus (50) is used for indicating and entering the individual selections and operations to be carried out.
