The invention relates to a system for introducing an additive into a container (4) partially filled with a main liquid material. It comprises an automated conveyor for transporting the container (4) along a straight horizontal trajectory (T) at a substantially constant container speed (Vc). It further comprises a static microdoser (6) having a nozzle (9) from which at least one jet (8) of an additive issues upon passage of an opening (7) of the container (4). The system is configured to introduce a given mass of additive into the container. The nozzle of the microdoser (6) is inclined relative to a vertical direction that is perpendicular to the trajectory (T). The inclination of the nozzle, the number, the shape and the speed (Vj) of the at least one jet, the mass of additive, and the container speed (Vc) are configured such that the specific kinetic energy of the impact of the at least one jet on the free surface of the main liquid material is less than 3000 mJ/m2.
