A filling unit () for a rotary press () with a filling wheel (), a dosing wheel (), optionally a feed wheel () and a medium feed unit (), wherein the blades () of the filling wheel (), dosing wheel () and/or feed wheel () designed as an impeller wheel (), are designed in such a way that a conveying surface () of the respective blades () can be varied in shape, and a method for providing an optimized rotary press is proposed.

Filling unit for a rotary press and a method for providing an optimized rotary press

A filling unit () for a rotary press () includes a filling wheel (), a metering wheel (), a feeding wheel () and a medium unit (). The filling unit () is designed in such a way that the feeding wheel () can be connected to and disconnected from a delivery path of the medium to be metered, in particular by having a pivoting device () perform a pivoting movement, in particular about an axis of rotation () of the metering wheel (), which is in the form of an impeller ().

The invention relates to a weighing device for a packaging machine. Empty capsules that are still closed are removed from a capsule holder, weighed on a gravimetric scale, placed back into an empty capsule holder, and then taken apart. The device makes it possible to remove empty capsules and replace them at full machine speed, without a loss of any consequence in output. It is possible to use a gravimetric measurement method to carry out a tare weighing of the capsules. An additional weighing device for filled capsules is integrated into a capsule transport device to determine the net weight based on the tare weight and the weight of the full capsules. Such a combination of a gravimetric tare weighing and a gross weighing to statistically determine the net weight is particularly well-suited to an intermediate capsule filling device.
