Problems solved by technology

Another disadvantage is the embodiment of a comparatively large gap between each of the individual guide flaps and the separator ribs, so that there is the risk that upon an expulsion, reinforced by suction, on the bad side of the affected guide flap, defect-free capsules can remain “stu

Embodiment Construction

[0028] In FIG. 1, a machine 10 for filling and sealing capsules C is shown, each capsule comprising one lower capsule part CU and upper capsule part or cap CO. The machine 10 includes, as a capsule delivery device, a feed wheel 12 rotating in increments about a vertical shaft 11, by means of which wheel twelve work stations I through XII can be approached. To this end, the capsule delivery device 12 includes twelve carriers 13, in each of which two rows offset from one another longitudinally are embodied, each containing five receptacles 14A and 14B, each for one of the capsules C.

[0029] The individual work stations I through XII of the machine 10 have different tasks in the filling of the capsules C.

[0030] For instance, at work stations I and II, the capsules C that have been put together are sorted and introduced into the receptacles 14A of the first row and into the receptacles of the second row 14B of the respective carrier 13.

[0031] After the feed wheel 12, or the carrier 13...

Abstract

A machine for filling and sealing two-part capsules (C), in particular hard gelatin capsules, is proposed. The machine includes a capsule delivery device, which has receptacles (14A), each for one capsule (C). The further includes at least one capsule expulsion station (XI), which has a capsule expulsion device (19) for axially expelling the capsules (C) from the respective receptacle (14A); guide flaps (24A, 24B) which are individually controllable by means of an actuating device (39) and are pivotable relative to a pivot shaft (31) and are each assigned to one capsule receptacle (14A) and which each have two guideways (33A, 34A), triggerable by means of the actuating device (39), for the respective associated capsules (A); and partitions, which separate the guideways (33A, 34A) of adjacent guide flaps (24A, 24B) from one another. The partitions are each an integrated component of one guide flap (24A, 24B) (FIG. 3).

Description

PRIOR ART [0001] The invention is based on a machine for filling and sealing two-part capsules of the type defined in further detail in the preamble to claim 1. [0002] Such a machine is known in the industry and is used in the pharmaceutical field for filling capsules, comprising a lower capsule part and an upper capsule part, with a medication that is for instance in powdered form. The machine includes a plurality of work stations, through which capsules located on a delivery device pass; the delivery device for instance comprises a first feed wheel, provided with receptacles for the lower capsule parts, and a second feed wheel, provided with receptacles for the upper capsule parts. [0003] The work stations include at least one capsule separating station, at which the upper capsule part is separated from the lower capsule part; a filling station for filling the lower capsule part with the powder, a capsule closing station, at which the upper capsule part is placed back on the lower...
