1. An apparatus for manufacturing a product comprising a mixing machine including:
a removable receiving device comprising:
a first receiving location configured to receive a first capsule containing a first formulation,
a second receiving location configured to receive a second capsule containing a second formulation, the two capsules configured to be fluidly coupled,
a first actuation face of the receiving device, authorizing a transfer of a pressure force on the first capsule,
a second actuation face of the receiving device, opposite to the first actuation face, authorizing a transfer of a pressure force on the second capsule,
a retention abutment extending in protrusion,
a support defining a receiving housing, configured to receive the receiving device,
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 retention mechanism, movable relative to the support, disposed facing the retention abutment when said receiving device is inserted into the apparatus, the retention mechanism configured:
in a retention mechanism insertion position, to authorize the insertion and the withdrawal of the receiving device into/from the receiving housing, and
in a retention mechanism retention position, to abut the retention abutment in a blocking position to block the withdrawal of the receiving device from the receiving housing.
