The invention relates to a device for filling containers with filling material in powder form, comprising: at least one metering wheel (); a metering chamber (); at least one container () for discharging into the metering chamber () a filling material () to be metered; at least one filter () which is mounted on the metering chamber (), the filter () being non-permeable to the filling material () and permeable to a gaseous medium; at least one feed () for the gaseous medium, to influence the filling material () to be metered in the metering chamber () by means of the gaseous medium via the filter (), at least one transport means () being provided to displace the filter () such that a new region of the filter () reaches the underside of the metering chamber ().

Device for metering filling material

A device and a method for determining a closing force, the device including at least a lower part segment () for receiving at least one capsule lower part (), at least one upper part segment () for receiving at least one capsule upper part (), at least one closing means () that acts upon the capsule lower part () and/or the capsule upper part () for closure, wherein at least one force sensor () is provided for absorbing a force (F) that acts upon the capsule () during closure.

Device and method for determining a closing force during the closure of a capsule

The present invention relates to a capsule-weighing device () comprising a capsule holder () for receiving at least one capsule lower part (), preferably for medical preparations, a weighing unit () that can be positioned independently of the capsule holder () and that has at least one first electrode () for weighing the capsule lower part () in the capsule holder (), a transport device () for moving the capsule holder (), independently of the weighing unit (), to different stations (S-S), and at least one second electrode (), wherein an outer wall () of the at least one capsule lower part () is exposed in the capsule holder (), or is only thinly enclosed by the capsule holder (), such that, by means of an electric field between the first and second electrodes (), the capsule lower part () can be weighed without moving the capsule lower part () in the capsule holder ().

Capsule-weighing device, capsule-filling machine, and method for weighing a capsule

The present invention relates to a device for introducing filling material () into capsules (), comprising a filling device () for feeding filling material () to the capsules (), a capsule holder () with at least one row of seats () in which the capsules () that are to be filled are arranged, a station arrangement with several stations arranged one after another, wherein the station arrangement comprises at least one filling station () and a synchronously operating drive, and a movement device which, at the capsule-filling station (), executes a relative movement between the filling device () and the capsule holder (), wherein the filling device () adopts, relative to the capsule holder (), at least a first filling position for filling a first capsule and a second filling position for filling a second capsule.

Device for introducing filling material into capsules

The invention provides an apparatus for metering pulverulent filling material, comprising at least one metering wheel with a plurality of metering chambers for accommodating filling material, wherein a plurality of metering chambers are formed by means of a common component, and the common component can be displaced in the radial direction of the metering wheel using an adjusting means in order to change the volume of the metering chambers.

Apparatus for metering pulverulent filling material

A device for metering of powdery filling material is proposed, with a filling material container, on the bottom of which at least one metering opening is arranged, with at least one transfer plunger which can be introduced by a movement system into the metering opening in order to transfer the filling material located in the metering opening into a receptacle. In addition to the movement system, a drive unit is provided for applying a force to the transfer plunger in order to assist the transfer of the filling material into the receptacle.

Device for metering a powdered product

Disclosed is a device for evenly filling or emptying at least one dosing chamber with a product. The device includes a dosing chamber disposed in a dosing disk, the product being dispensed into or emptied from the dosing chamber. A pressure generator impinges the dosing chamber with a predetermined pressure in order fill or empty the dosing chamber. A filter is disposed movably relative to the dosing chamber to assures that once the product has been dispensed, the product can be brought downward into the container to be filled. The filling of the container can be reinforcing by blown air or by transfer dies. The dosing chamber communicates, via the filter means, with the pressure generator. By application of an underpressure, the product to be dosed is dispensed into the dosing chamber. For cleaning the filter means, on the other hand, an overpressure pulse is applied, which improves product dispensing precision.

Device for evenly filling or emptying dosing chambers

An apparatus for metering powdered filling material has a filling material container whose bottom is provided with bores which cooperate with tamping plungers and transfer plungers. Underneath the bottom is a stop ring which functions as a counter support for the tamping plungers. To prevent powder losses from the bottom the filling material container is axially movable in such a way that it can be pressed against the stop ring during the downward motion of the tamping plungers. This is achieved by means of hold-down elements which can be moved synchronously with the tamping plungers.
