1. A manufacturing apparatus for manufacturing a product, comprising a mixing machine including a removable receiving device, the mixing machine comprising:
a support defining a receiving housing, configured to receive the receiving device, the receiving device configured to receive a first capsule and a second capsule containing, respectively, a first formulation and a second formulation, the first and second capsules fluidly linked to each other,
an actuation system, movable inside the receiving housing to exert a pressure force on at least one of the receiving device, the first capsule, and the second capsule,
a clamping mechanism, movable relative to the support and configured:
in an insertion position, not to interfere with the insertion and the withdrawal of the receiving device including capsules into/from the receiving housing, and
in a clamping position, to pinch a section of a capsule,
wherein the clamping mechanism is a clamping wheel movable in rotation about a clamping wheel axis such that the clamping wheel is configured to roll against a guide wall, and
a clamping wall fixed relative to the support, the clamping wheel is configured to clamp against the clamping wall in the clamping position, wherein the clamping wheel is configured to roll against the guide wall so that the clamping wheel rotates in the opposite direction of the arm, and wherein the clamping wall is a section of the guide wall.
