Abstract:
1. A clamping device for a mixing machine to temporarily clamp a container containing a fluid product, comprising: a first clamping element on which said container is able to be disposed; a second clamping element disposed opposite said first clamping element and able to cooperate with said first clamping element in order to clamp said container in a determinate position; a movement mechanism able to move at least one of said clamping elements towards the other; and a command and control unit associated with said movement mechanism that causes a first reciprocal approach of said clamping elements with a first approach speed (v the command and control unit further causing a temporary distancing of at least one of said clamping elements from said container in a determined and constant time (T wherein said command and control unit includes a first means able to calculate a clamping force or a clamping impulse as a function of said actual height (L) of said container, to be applied to said container, and a second means able to calculate, as a function of said clamping force, a relative clamping speed (v
