Method and device for contamination-free transport of pourable bulk product

A method for substantially contamination-Free transport of pourable bulk product from a dosing unit having a lidded dosing outlet into a container having a lidded receiving inlet, the method comprising the steps of:

• a) connecting, in a detachable manner, the dosing outlet of the dosing unit to the receiving inlet of the container;
• b) opening the dosing outlet and the receiving inlet;
• and
• c) transporting the bulk product from the dosing unit through the dosing outlet and through the receiving inlet into the container, wherein the dosing outlet of the dosing unit is disposed at the dosing unit by means of a first elastic joining element to prevent transfer of forces between the dosing outlet and the dosing unit and/or the receiving inlet of the container is disposed at the container by means of a second elastic joining element to prevent transfer of forces between the receiving inlet and the container, wherein, during transport of the bulk product from the dosing unit to the container, the dosing outlet and the receiving inlet are disposed relative to the dosing unit and/or the container such that the first and/or second elastic joining element prevents a transfer of forces between the dosing unit and the container.

A device for substantially contamination-free transport of pourable bulk product, the device comprising:

• a dosing unit having a lidded dosing outlet;
• a container having a lidded receiving inlet;
• means for connecting, in a detachable manner, said dosing outlet of said dosing unit to said receiving inlet of said container;
• means for opening said dosing outlet and said receiving inlet;
• means for transporting the bulk product from said dosing unit through said dosing outlet and through said receiving inlet into said container;
• and
• at least one of a first elastic joining element and a second elastic joining element, said first elastic joining element cooperating with said dosing outlet and said dosing unit to prevent transfer of forces between said dosing outlet and said dosing unit, said second elastic joining element cooperating with said receiving inlet and said container to prevent transfer of forces between said receiving inlet and said container, wherein, during transport of the bulk product from said dosing unit to said container, said dosing outlet and said receiving inlet are disposed relative to said dosing unit and/or said container such that said first and/or said second elastic joining elements prevent transfer of forces between said dosing unit and said container.
