Abstract
Capsule forming machines that form a dual dosage capsule have superimposed upper and lower plates that are each rotatable about an axis of rotation. Each of the upper and lower plates define a plurality of voids for receiving a shell body or a capsule member of a capsule that are positioned to define a plurality of stations. A first distribution device is operatively positioned at one of the plurality of stations of each of the upper and lower plates and an actuator is operatively connected to either of the upper or lower plates. The actuator lifts and lowers the upper plate or the lower plate relative to the other plate and/or pivots the upper plate or the lower plate relative to the other plate transverse to the rotational axis to move a capsule assembly station thereof toward to the other plate and then away from the other plate at predetermined times.
