A continuous rotary machine for filling capsules with pharmaceutical products is provided with at least one dosing wheel having a plurality of pockets each defined by a respective upper seat, which is suited to receive and hold a closing cap of a capsule and by a respective lower seat, which is suited to receive and hold a bottom of the capsule, and is provided with a measuring device to measure the weight of the bottom or of the bottom and of the pharmaceutical product contained in the lower seat itself; the upper seat being radially mobile between a forward position, in which the lower and the upper seats are vertically aligned with each other, and a retracted position, in which the lower and the upper seats are vertically staggered with respect to each other.

Continuous rotary machine for filling capsules with pharmaceutical products

A method and apparatus for weighing pharmaceutical product capsules, whereby a capsule containing a pharmaceutical product is fed into a pocket to allow a measuring device to determine the weight of the pharmaceutical product and of a first portion of the capsule containing the pharmaceutical product; the pocket, and therefore the capsule, then being inverted to move the pharmaceutical product out of the first portion and into a second portion of the capsule, to allow the measuring device to determine the weight of the first portion only of the capsule.

Apparatus for weighing pharmaceutical product capsules

A feeding assembly for metering tablets into capsules is provided, wherein a given number of tablets are first loaded into relative metering holes in a dispenser plate mounted to rotate about a longitudinal axis tilted with respect to a vertical direction, and are then unloaded into the bottom shell of a capsule from a feed channel formed through a vibrating feed disk mounted to rotate about a substantially vertical longitudinal axis.

Feeding assembly for metering tablets into capsules

An intermittent rotating machine for filling capsules with pharmaceutical products is provided. The machine consists of a conveying wheel having a group of pockets distributed according to at least two mutually parallel rows and a feeding device for feeding a capsule into each pocket. The feeding device has a hopper for containing the capsules, at least two rows of extraction channels of the capsules from the hopper, and a plurality of orienting channels adapted to transfer each capsule from the respective extraction channel to the relative pocket. Each oriental channel is provided with at least two respective inlet portions, which are aligned to two extraction channels of two different rows, and are limited by respective bottom walls that are mutually parallel and distinct.

Intermittent rotating machine for filling capsules with pharmaceutical products

In an intermittent rotating machine for filling capsules with pharmaceutical products, each capsule is opened in a respective pocket of a conveying wheel, is filled with a pharmaceutical product, is closed and is finally released from the pocket itself; a supporting block fitted above the conveying wheel defining an upper stopping device for stopping the capsules during the closing thereof, and further defining an upper diverting device for moving the capsules outside the conveying wheel, and supporting a sucking pneumatic device for cleaning the pockets.

Apparatus for dosing powdery or granulated materials in capsules, or the like. The apparatus comprises an engine associated with a transducer controlling chuting means. The engine imparts to the chuting means movements which are proportional to an electric signal controlled by an electronic control unit. The movements of the chuting means, together with the regulation of the spatial position assumed by the chuting means, are such to accurately dose the powdery or granulated material in the bases of the capsules.

In a machine for filling capsules, each of which defined by a bottom and a cap, with pharmaceutical products, the bottoms and the caps of the capsules are moved forward in sequence about a plurality of wheels provided with at least two actuating members movable under the control of respective tappets engaged in respective cams to open and close the capsules themselves, respectively; the cams being obtained on the outer surface of a drum mounted to rotate about a rotation axis parallel to the rotation axes of the wheels.

A machine for metering microtablets into capsules has a metering surface subjected to vibration and to rotation about a respective perpendicular axis; and an unloading device, which is fixed with respect to and cooperates with the metering surface, and is substantially defined by a cam member and an air outlet. In the metering surface are formed a number of sloping surfaces, along which the microtablets travel upwards, and a respective number of pockets, each for receiving the microtablets from a respective sloping surface. Each pocket has a bottom wall, which cooperates with the cam member and is movable between a fully-closed position, in which the microtablets are retained inside the respective pocket, and a fully-open position, in which the microtablets are unloaded. A number of holes are formed in a raised edge of the metering surface, and, when the holes are aligned with the air outlet, air is blown through the holes to prevent further microtablets from falling into the pockets.

Machine for metering microtablets

An apparatus for weighing liquid in a bottle, in particular a pharmaceutical bottle. The apparatus has at least one measuring cell, and a conveying device for feeding a number of bottles through the measuring cell along a path. The apparatus is characterized in that the measuring cell has an actual measuring section preceded and followed, respectively, by a first guard section and a second guard section, which reduce the effect of adjacent bottles on the measurement.

A method and machine for filling capsules with at least one product, whereby the bottom shell of each capsule is fed along a given path in time with a relative metering device having a metering chamber for transferring a given quantity of product from a tank into the bottom shell; the metering chamber having a weighing device for weighing the product contained in the metering chamber.

Method and machine for filling capsules or similar with at least one product, in particular a pharmaceutical product in granules

In a machine for filling capsules, a hopper containing the capsules is mounted to rotate about a respective first axis of rotation, so as to move about the first axis a number of feed channels, each of which receives the capsules successively from the hopper, and has a longitudinal second axis forming an angle of other than 90&#xb0; with a reference plane perpendicular to the first axis.

Unit for feeding capsules onto a capsule filling machine

In a device for conveying capsules containing at least one pharmaceutical product, each capsule is fed along a feed line defined by two pocket conveyors connected to each other at a transfer station having a detecting device for determining at least the weight of the pharmaceutical product in the capsule, and is transferred from one pocket conveyor to the other of the feed line with no change in its orientation.
