Abstract
The invention relates to a system for introducing an additive into a container (). The system comprises an automated device for transporting the container () in a horizontal plane (P), such as a rotary wheel. The system further comprises a static microdoser () having a nozzle from which a jet () of an additive issues upon passage of an opening of the container (). Additive is so injected into said container (). According to the invention, the nozzle of the static microdoser () is inclined relative to a direction orthogonal to said horizontal plane (P). This limits splashing, in particular when the jet () of additive hits an inner wall of the container () that is free of liquid. This can be facilitated by an acceleration applied on the container () which inclines the free surface () of the liquid material present in the container (). A preferred application is the introduction of a flavored concentrate into a bottle of water.
