Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device with the hard gelatin capsules or other Containers filled with solid, powdery, gelatinous or liquid products, can be filled in particular metered. Depending on the nature of the contents are different filling devices required. So is a change regularly the respective filling when changing a powder composition to be filled required.
  • the invention has the object basis, the adaptation of filling devices of the type mentioned to make the respective contents as economically as possible, without being in procedural or operational disadvantages disadvantages to have to.
  • a first assembly includes a device station for supplying and providing each to filling containers.
  • the second module contains a Device station with which provided by the first device station Containers are filled with the respective contents.
  • at least one of the two device stations, and in particular the device station for filling the individual containers with filling material to form as an exchangeable module is a Adaptation of the two device stations to the respective contents and to the respective type of containers in which the contents are to be filled, desirable easy.
  • the module (s) to be exchanged can be used as each compact component removed from the filling and against a correspondingly different module to be replaced.
  • mechanical Coupling elements the respective module exactly in the filling be positioned and held.
  • electrical, electronic, pneumatic or other control and power supply coupling elements the module can then be connected to the filling device existing corresponding permanently installed such devices be connected.
  • Each module can be equipped with a permanently installed motor drive. This allows the necessary follow-up measures when replacing the Considerably simplify modules.
  • each to be coupled Lift module by means of its casters and in the filling so as to hold the module firmly against the filling device sure.
  • To release the module from the filling would be raise the same again before it leaves the filling device on its Casters could be pulled out.
  • upper trim parts of the filling device can pivot or be hinged, in particular be equipped as tiltable tilting wing, which at an optically transparent window-like training in the closed State the view into the operationally working filling device release.
  • the replaceable modules for filling in particular for metered filling with their respective adapted filling material can be used as so-called stuffing filling device, Lifter filling device or roll-filling device, which Filling devices in the prior art basically technologically known are, be trained. With these filling devices can be powdery contents in Filled gelatin capsules as dosed in particular.
  • the replaceable module can also be used as a filling device for liquid or for be formed gelatinous or even solid contents. Also such filling facilities are basically known in their functional education.
  • a device 10 for filling containers, in particular hard gelatin capsules has a device cabinet 12, in each of which one of various four mobile filling stations 14.1, 14.2, 14.3 or 14.4 used can be.
  • a filling station 14.1 is used, with the liquids can be bottled.
  • the three other filling stations 14.2, 14.3 and 14.4 used for filling, in particular for the metered filling of powdery Filling materials.
  • the device cabinet 12 has a feed station 16 built into it, by means of the respective containers to be filled as in the present case hard gelatin capsules supplied in the open state of the respective filling station 14, and after they have been filled there with filling, then again be closed.
  • a feeding station 16 for hard gelatin capsules is the Basically known. Indicated in the drawing are the component 18, by means of whose empty capsules are supplied, and the component 20 for the extraction of the as badly found capsules, as well as the component 22, with which as well ejected capsules are ejected from the device.
  • the component 24 With the so-called Capsule circuit shown schematically.
  • These aforementioned components protrude from a worktop 26 upwards. Below the countertop 26 is a motor drive 28 with gearbox for operating the feed station 16 accommodated.
  • FIG. 1 is in the right part of the device cabinet a Control cabinet 48 with a control panel 50 available.
  • This cabinet 48 contains the entire operation of the feed station 16 and the respective Filling station 14 required electrical, electronic, pneumatic and / or other control and power supply elements.
  • the entire device cabinet 12 is indicated by dashed lines drive rollers 52 formed portable.
  • To move the device cabinet 12 is at the right outer wall 54 in the present case, a handle bar 56th attached. Also in the opposite, left outer wall 58 could be a Such handle bar be present.
  • Each of the filling stations has a same in their respective base cabinet closing door 60, which can be opened and then the free Access to existing in the filling station 14 motor drive and Gear allows.
  • the filling station 14.2 is a so-called stuffing station. Above her worktop 38.2, a screw feeder 62 for the powder feed is shown. Next to it is a powder pot 64 with associated metering device and about a stuffing die holder 66 shown.
  • the filling station 14.3 is designed in the form of a riser station. shown is her powder pot 70 on her worktop 38.3. She also has a screw feeder 62 for the powder feed.
  • the filling station 14.4 is designed as a so-called roll filling station. From her the powder feed 80 and the stuffing roll 82 are above their work surface 38.4 shown. Instead of the filling station 14.1, one of the filling stations 14.2, 14.3, 14.4 be inserted in the device cabinet 12.
  • FIG. 3 In the illustration of FIG. 3 is in the device cabinet 12 as the Stopfstation trained filling station 14.2 instead of the built in Fig. 1 Filling station 14.1 used.
  • the device cabinet 12 has a front and a rear, as a window member respectively formed tilting wing 90, 92.
  • a window member respectively formed tilting wing 90, 92.
  • the device 10 according to the invention has various advantages. That's how it works each optimal filling or dosing without special technical demanding jobs also from an assistant quickly and easily in the Device cabinet 12 are used.
  • the exchange of mobile respective Filling stations is through the defined, prepared mechanical and functional interfaces easily and quickly. If missing Container, so in a disturbance in the operation of the feeder 16, the mobile Filling station 14 quickly turned off or turned on again become. This is due to the formation of interfaces between the Feed station and the respective filling station easily possible. Also the Cleaning of the individual stations can take place separately. Machine downtime reduce considerably. So each can not required, waiting filling stations 14 are serviced without thereby the operation of the built-in in the device cabinet 12 filling station would have to be interrupted.
  • the module design of the filling station 14 allows a simple conception modified, further filling stations. This also includes that in others Feeding stations comparable simple interfaces and facilities can be provided to the various filling stations with different feed stations also comparatively easy to integrate can.
