Abstract
In order to transfer fluid products such as powders between a storage container (10) and a mobile container (18) an interface device comprising a tight chamber (24) is proposed. This tight chamber contains mechanisms making it possible either to seal an access opening (30) to the mobile container (18), or place a transfer tube (36) between the containers (27, 30). The transfer tube is formed by at least two sections (38, 40) having an internal cross-section which is substantially uniform and identical, so that a product can be transferred in any random orientation, without any risk of product being retained. The two sections (38, 40) can in particular be installed on the same tilting arm (42).
