manifold distribution, particularly for the connection of a selective automated cultural of storage vessels with a cultural of machines for forming processing factories of plastics.

摘要

A distribution manifold (10), particularly for the automated selective connection of a plurality of storage containers to a plurality of molding machines, comprising a central connector (14) which is interposed between a first section (16) for drawing plastic material from the containers (17) and a second section (18) for conveying the material toward the machines, at which it has, respectively, an inlet (21) and an outlet (22). Each one of the first and second sections comprises a respective first and second series of couplings (24,25), each of which can be connected to the end (27) of a duct (28,29) and can be moved by an actuation means (30). The actuation means selectively actuate each one of the couplings of the first and second series, along planes which are radial with respect to the corresponding opening of the central connector (14), from a retracted inactive position to an active position in which the coupling is inserted in the corresponding inlet/outlet of the central connector (14).
