- a suction duct suitable for putting the internal compartment of the bottle in communication with the pressure chamber;
- a dispensing duct suitable for putting the pressure chamber in communication with an external environment;
- valve means for adjusting a flow of the product from the suction duct to the pressure chamber during a suction step and from the pressure chamber to the dispensing duct during a dispensing step;
- and
- a sleeve having a sleeve axis, housed in the cylinder chamber, comprising:
- a bottom sleeve wall transverse to the sleeve axis;
- an annular inner sleeve wall extending from said bottom sleeve wall and annularly delimiting the pressure chamber;
- and
- an annular outer sleeve wall extending from the bottom sleeve wall, positioned radially externally spaced from the annular inner sleeve wall and placed in contact with the inner chamber surface;
- wherein the sleeve further comprises an annular vent wall that extends radially between the annular inner sleeve wall and the annular outer sleeve wall, internally delimiting a secondary vent passage passing radially in the annular inner sleeve wall and in the annular outer sleeve wall.
