A movable conveyor () having a plurality of container supports (), a plurality of nozzles () for injecting fluid into the containers, a fluid-feed track () for the nozzles () and a plurality of pipes () to convey the fluid to the nozzles (), each having an inlet () arranged in the feed track (). Further, a fixed fluid dispenser () alongside the conveyor (), designed to introduce fluid successively into the inlets (), this dispenser () having a distributor () positioned facing the feed track (). The distributor () defines a manifold () which extends along a length of the conveyor corresponding to the number N of inlets () selected, a seal () being provided to ensure a sealed contact between the manifold () and the feed track (), and the dispenser () has means () to push the manifold () against the feed track () of the conveyor ().
