Abstract
A device for clamping a contained in a mixer for fluids comprises a clamping unit selectively operable for clamping a container by the application of compressive forces. Resilient compression members and a sensor are associated with the clamping unit for detecting the application of a predetermined clamping force to the container by determination of the deflection of the resilient compression member proportional to the predetermined clamping force.
