The container arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the lateral support container wall ( 12 ) is generated about a longitudinal axis, and further characterized in that the chicanes ( 15 , 15 ′, 15 ″, 15 ′″) are tilted through an angle relative to the longitudinal axis ( 17 ) of the lateral support container wall.
4. The container arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the cores ( 16 ) of the chicanes ( 15 , 15 ′, 15 ′″) are made of a ferromagnetic material.
5. The container arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the cores ( 16 ) of the chicanes ( 15 , 15 ′, 15 ′″) are made of metal and are fixed by a magnet that is arranged in the wall of the support container ( 4 ) or can be arranged from the outside.
6. The container arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the chicanes ( 15 , 15 ′, 15 ′″) are mechanically fastened to the inner support surface ( 11 ) of the support container ( 4 ).
7. The container arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the chicanes ( 15 , 15 ′, 15 ″, 15 ′″) have a rounded cross-sectional shape transversely to their longitudinal axis.
8. The container arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the closed bottom of the support container ( 4 ) has a base wall ( 14 ) integral with a lower end of the lateral support container wall ( 12 ), the disposable container ( 1 ) further having a disposable container base ( 13 ) integral with a lower end of the flexible lateral container wall ( 10 ), the disposable container base ( 13 ) being supported on the base wall ( 14 ) of the support container ( 4 ).
9. The container arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a mixer ( 3 ) mounted to a top part of the disposable container ( 1 ) and projecting into the disposable container ( 1 ).
10. A container arrangement comprising:
a rigid support container ( 4 ) having a continuous lateral support container wall ( 12 ) with a concave cylindrical inner support surface ( 11 ); and
chicanes ( 15 , 15 ′, 15 ″, 15 ′″) that are structurally separate from one another and spaced from one another, each of the chicanes ( 15 , 15 ′, 15 ″, 15 ′″) comprising a core ( 16 ) that is magnetically attachable to the concave cylindrical inner support surface ( 11 ) of the rigid support container ( 4 ), each of the chicanes ( 15 , 15 ′, 15 ″, 15 ′″) further being coated with a plastics material and having a convex outwardly facing surface with a shape conforming to a shape defined by the concave inner support surface ( 11 ) of the lateral container wall ( 12 ), the convex outwardly facing surfaces being exchangeably fastened magnetically to the inner support surface ( 11 ) of the lateral container wall ( 12 ), each of the chicanes ( 15 , 15 ′, 15 ″, 15 ′″) further having a convex inwardly facing surface projecting inward from the inner support surface ( 11 ) of the lateral support container wall ( 12 ); and
