• wherein the compounding system comprises
• unloading means arranged for unloading the weighing unit providing a loaded condition and an unloaded condition:
• wherein when the unloading means are in the loaded condition, the received repository is arranged to the cradle for weighing;
• and
• wherein when the unloading means are in the unloaded condition, the weighing unit is prohibited from weighing:
• a container holder for holding a container;
• and
• coupling means for coupling and decoupling the container held in the container holder to and from the received repository:
• characterized in that:
• the unloading means are in the unloaded condition while the holder coupling end of the received repository in the at least one station is coupled to the container for exchanging fluid;
• and
• the unloading means are arranged such that the unloaded condition is vertically above the loaded condition.
