Claim 8:
9. The production system as claimed in claim 1, which additionally comprises a subunit (1.2) for continuous manufacture of colored and/or effect-imparting formulations with use of liquid feedstocks and/or feedstocks that can be used as liquid feedstocks through pretreatment, where the subunit (1.2) comprises:
I. at least one combination of a small-volume process mixer (kP) and a buffer tank, where the process mixer and the buffer tank contain mixing devices;
II. at least one fluid-conducting connection between the process mixer and the buffer tank for transfer of a formulation manufactured continuously in the process mixer from the process mixer to the buffer tank;
III. means of feeding defined amounts of feedstocks into the process mixer;
IV. at least one measurement unit for configured to ascertain properties of a liquid formulation manufactured continuously in the process mixer (kP);
V. at least one evaluation unit which is in communication with the measurement unit and is configured to determine a deviation in the properties of a formulation manufactured continuously in the process mixer (kP) from the properties of a predefined target state; and
VI. at least one unit which is in communication with the evaluation unit and is configured to adjust the feed of feedstocks into the process mixer (kP), and which is further configured to take account of the deviations in the properties of a continuously manufactured portion of a formulation from the properties of a predefined target state and use them to adjust the amounts of feedstocks fed in in the continuous manufacture of further portions.
