Apparatus for mixing formulations and producing a composition

Production apparatus for producing a composition, comprising:

• a receiving device configured to receive separate first and second capsules containing, respectively, a first formulation and a second formulation, the receiving device being configured to occupy an open position, in which the separate first and second capsules are able to be inserted into the receiving device, and a closed position, in which the receiving device is able to hold the first and second capsules in position, the receiving device being in addition configured such that moving the receiving device equipped with the first and second capsules from the open position to the closed position causes the first and second capsules to connect to one another, and
• a mixing machine configured to receive the receiving device equipped with the first and second capsules, and to mix the first and second formulations contained in the first and second capsules so as to obtain the composition,
• the receiving device comprising a first receiving location configured to receive the first capsule and a second receiving location configured to receive the second capsule, wherein the receiving device comprises a first support part comprising the first receiving location and a second support part comprising the second receiving location, the first and second support parts being able to move in rotation with respect to one another around a hinge connection between a receiving position in which the first and second support parts are separated from one another and the first and second capsules are able to be separately received in the first and second receiving locations, respectively, and a connecting position in which the first and second support parts are close to one another and the first and second capsules are able to be connected to one another.
