Abstract
In the manufacture of chemical products, foods, pharmaceuticals and the like, a movable tank (201) mounted on a conveying vehicle (100) movable along conveyance courses (1, 1') between a plurality of stations (11-16) for unit processes such as mixing and reaction is transferred between relative stations by a transferring device provided on the conveying vehicle, to thereby successively perform necessary processes, thus meeting the needs of a multi-product/small-lot production. An automatic connection device is provided for supplying electric power and fluid to the movable tank. Furthermore, when necessary, a traverser device (2) for transferring the movable tank is provided between one conveyance course (1) and another conveyance course (1'). Further, a washing device is provided for washing the movable tank after the completion of the processes.
