A tamping punch station for filling capsules in a capsule filling machine is described. The machine includes a rotatably drivable dosing disk with bore holes and a filling device for filling the bore holes. Tamping punches and ejection punches are held on a punch support, and vertical movement of the punch support causes the tamping punches to press filling material into the bore holes and the ejection punches to eject pellets created by the tamping punches in the bore holes. A first drive rotates the dosing disk along punches and a second drive moves the punch support. The second drive includes at least two spindle drives acting on the punch support with respectively one spindle nut and respectively one vertical drive spindle guided in the spindle nut and at least two drive motors, which drive respectively one of the spindle drives for vertical movement of the punch support.

Tamping punch station and method of filling capsules in a tamping punch station

An apparatus for filling capsules comprises a conveyor wheel, on the circumference of which a plurality of capsule holders is provided a conveyor wheel drive that alternately passes through stopping times and movement times, so that the capsule holders move along the conveying path in cycles, and a plurality of process stations disposed along the conveying path. The process stations comprise at least one supply station for supplying capsules to be filled to the conveyor wheel, at least one opening station for opening the capsules by separating the upper and lower capsule parts, at least one filling station for filling the lower capsule parts, at least one closing station for closing the filled capsules by connecting the upper and lower capsule parts, and at least one discharge station for discharging the filled capsules. A method for filling capsules is also described.

Apparatus and method for filling capsules

A dosing station for a capsule filling machine comprises a dosing unit in which capsule lower parts are filled with a filling material via a filling apparatus and a drive unit with at least one drive that drives at least one component of the dosing unit. The drive unit is arranged beneath a supporting plate, and detachable fastening and coupling means detachably fastens the dosing unit on the supporting plate. Where the dosing unit is detachably fastened on the supporting plate, the at least one drive is coupled to the at least one component. In the detached state of the dosing unit from the supporting plate, the coupling of the at least one drive to the at least one component is canceled. In this way, the dosing unit can be removed as a module from the dosing station.

Dosing station for a capsule filling machine

The invention relates to a rotary press with a rotor, whereby the rotor comprises one upper and one lower punch guide and a die plate between the upper and lower punch guides, furthermore with upper and lower press punches which interact with the die holes in the die plate, whereby the rotary press comprises several stations, namely at least one filling station in which the material to be pressed is filled into the die holes, at least one dosing station, in which the material filled into the die holes is dosed, at least one pressing station, in which the material that has been dosed and filled into the die holes is pressed through the upper and lower press punches into pellets, and at least one ejector station in which the pressed pellets are ejected, whereby at least one of the stations can be moved from its operating position to a resting position, in which the production process of the rotary press to produce pellets remains possible with the remaining stations in their respective operating positions, and the at least one station in a resting position does not affect the production process. The invention also relates to a method for operating a rotary press.

Rotary press and method for operating a rotary press

Punch arrangement for a press, in particular a rotary press, comprising at least one press punch having a punch head, a tool region and a punch shank extending between the punch head and tool region, further comprising at least one punch guide having at least one guide bore in which the punch shank of the at least one press punch is guided in an axially movable manner and at least one variable length sealing sleeve at least partially surrounding the shank, which sealing sleeve is retained with its first end against the punch shank or against the tool region of the press punch, the sealing sleeve being retained with its second end against an inner wall of the guide bore, the second end of the sealing sleeve, with the punch shank located in the guide bore, being captured between the inner wall of the guide bore and the punch shank. The invention further relates to a press and a rotary press.
