Abstract
The invention relates to a method for filling a capsule under rotation and a machine for carrying out the method. The capsule is rotated at a variable speed during the filling so that the centrifugal force at the inner surface of powder present in the capsule is essentially equal to the gravity. The centrifugal machine comprises a holder for the capsule and a drive structure by which the holder is driven at variable speed. The amount of supplied powder is measured and the speed is controlled in dependence on the output signal generated by the measurement.
