Abstract

An apparatus for dispensing liquid or slurried products, in particular detergents and rinse aids for industrial cleaning processes, typically but not exclusively dishwashing machines. Replaceable containers are fitted directly to a receptacle on the operative part of the machine and the liquid product is easily dispensed from the container into the machine without spillage or soilage of user's hands. The apparatus is characterized by self-sealing around a hollow penetrating device that can be inserted when in use, at the lowermost portion.
