Title: Stephanie Schütz: Patents in Pharmaceutical Capsule Production

Introduction

Stephanie Schütz is an inventor based in Mainhardt, Germany. Her patent work focuses on equipment and processes for sealing capsules in pharmaceutical production. She is associated with Syntegon Technology GmbH and has 2 patents.

Latest Patents

Schütz’s listed patents address capsule sealing and the monitoring of sealing processes.

“Pharmaceutical production facility comprising a measuring device” describes a facility that uses an infrared camera, or a camera with an infrared filter, to monitor the seal of capsules. The device detects the temperature or temperature changes in the sealing region and nearby capsule sections, helping assess the seal formed between the capsule’s two shell parts.

“Device for sealing capsules” concerns a system that dries banding liquid applied where the two parts of a capsule shell connect. A heat source provides the drying radiation, while a diaphragm directs that radiation toward the connection region and shields other capsule areas.

Career Highlights

Schütz’s disclosed inventions apply sensing and controlled heating to capsule production. Together, they address two complementary aspects of the process: monitoring the sealing region and directing heat to dry the capsule’s banding liquid.

Collaborations

Schütz is associated with Syntegon Technology GmbH. Her listed coworker is Philipp Stirm.

Conclusion

Stephanie Schütz’s patents focus on practical improvements to pharmaceutical capsule manufacturing, combining temperature-based seal monitoring with targeted heating during capsule sealing.
