Abstract:
1. A device for consistently filling or emptying at least one dosing chamber with a product being dispensed into or emptied therefrom, comprising: at least one dosing chamber disposed in a dosing disk, which dosing disk has a center, is mounted in a generally horizontal orientation, and is incrementally rotated around its center about a generally vertical axis, the product being dispensed into said at least one dosing chamber and emptied therefrom, with both of the dispensing and emptying actions taking place along lines which are substantially parallel to said axis of rotation; and a pressure generating means provided for subjecting the at least one dosing chamber to a defined pressure for filling or emptying the at least one dosing chamber, further comprising at least one filter means disposed between the at least one dosing chamber and the pressure generating means, wherein the at least one dosing chamber is subjected to a defined pressure through the filter means, wherein the filter means is disposed in a slide, wherein the slide is disposed movably relative to the dosing disk, such movement being parallel to the dosing disk, wherein an overpressure acts on the filter means thereby cleaning the filter means, the overpressure being generated by the pressure generating means.
