Embodiment Construction

[0015] figure 1 A machine 100 for filling and closing capsules c, in particular made of hard glue, is shown. Instead of hard glue, the capsule c can obviously also be made of another suitable material. In this case, the capsules c each have a capsule lower part a and a cover b. Capsules c known hitherto are filled by means of the machine 100 , in particular by means of a pharmaceutical product, which is present, for example, in the form of powder, granules, liquid, tablets or the like.

[0016] The machine has a delivery wheel 20 on the outer circumference of which for example twelve receiving sections 21 are exchangeably arranged at uniform angular distances. Each of these receiving sections 21 has a certain number of receiving openings, in the embodiment five adjacently arranged receiving openings 22 , each for a capsule c. The conveyor wheel 20 is mounted rotatably on a vertically arranged axis of rotation 24 and, according to the invention, has for this purpose a drive ...

Abstract

The invention relates to a machine (100) for filling and closing capsules (c), in particular capsules made of hard gelatin, comprising a conveyor wheel (20), which is rotatably mounted in a vertical axis (24) and is moved at least in cycles, receiving segments (21; 31) arranged on the outer circumference of the conveyor wheel (20), each being provided for a certain number of capsules (c), and processing stations (1 to 12) arranged on the circumferential path of the conveyor wheel (20) for the capsules (c). According to the invention, the conveyor wheel (20) has a drive (25), by means of which at least the conveying path and the conveying direction of the conveyor wheel (20) can be variably adjusted in a conveying cycle.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a machine and a method for filling and closing capsules, especially made of hard glue, according to the preambles of the independent claims. Background technique [0002] Such a machine is known from DE 10 2004 048 007 A1. In the known machine, processing stations are arranged at uniform angular distances on the path of revolution of a conveyor wheel that rotates in one direction in a clocked manner, and these processing stations are gradually driven by a conveyor wheel that performs each defined angular step. Here, for each capsule located in the hole of the receiving section fixed to the delivery wheel, a device is required inside the processing station to carry out a defined processing step. Since the transport wheel also moves only in one direction, the processing stations need to be arranged in chronological order when filling and closing the capsules. [0003] A disadvantage here is that these processing stations have a...
