Abstract
A device that dispense dosages of a free-flowing substance has a support column with a horizontal support arm () cantilevered thereon. The device includes a holder unit () on which at least one movably supported receiving unit () is arranged. The receiving unit is designed so that at least one dosage unit () can be set into, as well as taken out of, it. The holder unit contains at least one agitation actuator () that acts on the receiving unit. The dosage unit can be fastened to the receiving unit by means of a pre-tensioned clamping module (). For the insertion and/or removal of the dosage unit, the clamping module can be spread apart from a dispensing position into a loading position by means of an opener module that is based on the holder unit. In the dispensing position, the opener module is uncoupled from the receiving unit.
