PURPOSE: To improve transfer equality by successively providing operation cylinders in a storage cylinder to drive itself and enabling the specification of the finish position of the operation cylinders in an article to transfer the viscous matter in a transfer pipe by means of the reciprocation of a piston in the storage cylinder.

CONSTITUTION: A storage cylinder 4 is connected to the middle of a transfer pipe 3, and operation cylinders 7 are successively provided in this cylinder 4. A storage piston 10 fitted in the storage cylinder 4 through the piston rod 9 connected to an operation cylinder 8 by the operation of an operation cylinder 7 is driven. In order to control the operation of the drive cylinder 7, two sheet valves 12 and 14 are provided to be controlled by a 2/2 directional control valve 15. The final position of the drive piston 8 is controlled by the control valve 32 attached to the driving cylinder 7, and switch position is selected so that all of the contents in the storage cylinder is press-fitted.
