Problems solved by technology

Such continuously operating machines are very complicated in their construction, however, and are thus quite expensive.
However, with cyclical machines, it has been found that particularly the closure of the filled containers with a cap or the like is problematic and time-consuming, and the closure station is a in capacity in terms of the yield of the cyclical machines.

Embodiment Construction

[0022]Below, in conjunction with FIGS. 1 through 4, a cyclical machine for filling and closing containers 5 in a first exemplary embodiment will be described in detail; in FIGS. 1 through 4, only a closure station 1 of the cyclical machine is shown, to which already-filled containers 5 are delivered. The cyclical filling of the containers, for instance with medications or the like, is effected in a known manner.

[0023]As shown in FIG. 1, the closure station 1 of the cyclical machine includes a cap feeder 2 and a sorting device 3. The sorting device 3 has the task of orienting and separating the caps and delivering them to the cap feeder 2. The cap feeder 2 includes an essentially horizontal rail region 2a with a delivery rail 20 and an essentially vertical rail region 2b. In the cap feeder 2, the caps 4 are delivered individually and in succession in the correct position to one end 2c of the vertical rail region 2b. At the end 2c of the vertical rail region 2b, there is a cap shoe 21...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a cyclically operating machine for filling containers and closing them with caps. A closure station thereof includes a cap feeder for feeding the caps to the containers, and a sorting device for aligning and separating the caps and transferring them to the cap feeder. The cap feeder positions the caps individually on a respective container and closes the container with the cap. The cap feeder is arranged such that it can be moved back and forth, and is provided with a drive which is designed for moving the cap feeder.

Description

PRIOR ART[0001]The present invention relates to a cyclically operating machine for filling and closing containers, such as containers for medications.[0002]Machines for filling and closing containers are known in various embodiments from the prior art. In principle, a distinction is made between cyclical machines and continuous machines. In continuous machines, containers are continuously filled with a product and then closed with a cap or the like. The filled containers are moved continuously past a closure station. Such continuously operating machines are very complicated in their construction, however, and are thus quite expensive. This is why cyclically operating machines also exist, which can be produced markedly less expensively. Because of the cyclical mode of operation, such cyclical machines have a relatively lower yield, and the containers to be filled are typically moved forward intermittently, being in motion approximately one-third of the time and at a stop approximatel...
