Abstract
A device for metering and dispensing powdered filling material into containers has two filling wheels, which are disposed one after the other in the feed direction of the containers. At least the filling wheels are comprised of ceramic material and, in comparison to conventional filling wheels, have a reduced number of metering bores as well as a smaller structural size. In order to adjust the metering quantity, the filling wheels each have an adjusting disk, which cooperates with metering plungers. The two filling wheels and the two metering disks are respectively driven by a servomotor. The device according to the invention is distinguished by means of a compact design and an operation that is suitable in the pharmaceutical field.
