Abstract
A distribution system for distributing dosed amounts of a treatment substance to a plurality of injectors of an egg injection device, and to an injection device equipped with such a distribution system. The distribution system comprises at least one syringe pump comprising an actuator for actuating the piston of a syringe, a discharge tube connected to the outlet orifice of the syringe, feed tubes connected in parallel to the discharge tube via a valve system, each feed tube being intended to be connected to an injector, and a controller capable of controlling the actuator and the valve system for distributing dosed amount of substance contained in the chamber through the feed tubes, to injectors.
Claims12
A distribution system for distributing dosed amounts of a treatment substance to a plurality of injectors of an egg injection device, comprising:
- at least one syringe pump including
- a syringe body defining a chamber adapted to receive a substance, provided with an outlet orifice and a piston slidably mounted in said chamber, and
- an actuator capable of automatically actuating said piston in order to discharge the substance out of the chamber through the outlet orifice;
- a discharge tube connected to the outlet orifice;
- feed tubes connected in parallel through a first end of each feed tube to said discharge tube via a valve system, each feed tube adapted for connection through a second end thereof to at least one injector;
- and
- controller that controls said actuator and said valve system in order to distribute dosed amounts of substance contained in the chamber through the feed tubes, to said injectors.
