Definitions

  • the invention relates to a capsule filling device for filling capsules with a filling material of the type specified in the preamble of claim 1 and a method for operating such a capsule filling device.
  • capsules for example, hard gelatin or the like consist of a capsule lower part and an attached capsule shell.
  • a filling material in the form of a powder, granules or the like.
  • the initially loose stacked capsule parts are separated.
  • the capsule is closed and completed by attaching the capsule upper part.
  • Such a filling process is performed on clocked capsule filling and closing machines, which are usually designed as so-called rotary transfer machines See, for example EP0194505 ,
  • a turntable with capsule receptacles and various, arranged around the turntable, stationary processing stations are provided.
  • the number and configuration of the processing stations can vary as needed.
  • a first station is formed as an empty capsule insertion and separation station followed by one or more filling stations.
  • a closing station the capsules are closed by means of the previously separated capsule shell.
  • at least one ejection station is then provided, in which the filled and sealed capsules are ejected from the capsule receptacle for further processing.
  • Another processing station is provided for cleaning the capsule receptacle, as the Filling process with the dry and granular filling material leads to an unavoidable dust load on the capsule holder.
  • the embodiment as a rotary transfer machine entails a limited space. This in turn means that the number of stations and their size are limited. At the same time, however, the demands on productivity and the complexity of various work steps to be performed are increasing. There is a need for clearance for additional processing stations, but there is no room for existing concepts of rotary transfer machines.
  • the invention has the object of developing a generic Kapselfüll Road such that without increasing the space additional space for further processing tasks is created.
  • the invention is further based on the object of specifying a method for operating such a capsule filling device, by means of which the capsule ejection and the subsequent cleaning of the capsule holder can be performed within a single working cycle.
  • the ejection station is provided with a suction device.
  • the suction device comprises a movable suction head, which can be moved back and forth between a passive ejection position and an active suction position. In its passive ejection position, the suction head releases the capsule receptacle for the ejection of the capsules. In its active suction position, the suction head is in register with the capsule receptacle for the purpose of cleansing the capsule receptacle.
  • a cycle of the following method steps is carried out in the ejection station over the duration of a single working cycle:
  • the capsule holder which carries the filled and sealed capsules, moved by means of the turntable to the ejection station.
  • the capsules are ejected from the capsule holder, while the suction head of the suction device is in its passive, the capsule holder releasing ejection position.
  • the suction head is moved from its passive ejection position to its active suction position.
  • the capsule holder is sucked cleansing by means of the suction head.
  • the emptied and cleaned capsule receptacle is moved to the next processing station, while a subsequent capsule receptacle with capsules is fed to the ejection station for a new ejection and suction process.
  • the suction head is moved from its active suction position back to its passive ejection position so that the cycle of operations described above can begin again.
  • the movable suction head By the movable suction head is achieved that the process of capsule ejection and the process of cleaning suction in a station, namely the ejection station, can be performed summarized, without that both steps collide with each other.
  • a separate processing station nor a separate clock cycle is required.
  • the limited space of the rotary transfer machine creates space that can be used for a processing station with different task. For example, it is possible to install an additional filling station.
  • the suction head can be translationally moved between its two positions.
  • the suction head is designed as a pivotable ejection flap for discharging the ejected capsules in the passive ejection position.
  • the pivoting movement allows high clock rates with low inertial forces occurring.
  • By the pivoting movement is a double use of the suction head not only for the suction, but also for the ejection possible by the suction head favors in its passive ejection position by a corresponding inclination, the derivative of the ejected capsules.
  • the capsule receptacle has in conventional design individual receiving pockets for each capsule. It may be expedient to design the suction head, for example in the form of a suction cup with a correspondingly large suction opening, by means of which all receiving pockets are sucked.
  • a plurality of suction channels are formed in the suction head, each having a corresponding with a receiving pocket suction opening. In the active suction position, the suction openings are in register with the receiving pockets. As a result, a targeted suction with great effectiveness is possible.
  • the receiving pockets are arranged in pairs in two rows in the capsule receptacle.
  • the suction channels are branched Y-shaped and formed with pairs of suction openings for each pair of receiving pockets.
  • the ejection station in addition to the suction device, also has a blow-out device with blower channels for cleaning out the capsule holder.
  • the Ejection station ejection pins for ejecting the filled capsules from the capsule receptacle, wherein the blast channels are formed in the ejector pins.
  • the ejection pins are moved out of a rest position to eject the filled capsule into the capsule holder.
  • active suction a cleansing blowing out of the capsule holder is made by means of the ejector pins.
  • blowing out thus takes place during the retraction movement, which is required in any case, so that no additional time is required.
  • the process of blowing out more than aspiration allows a targeted guidance of the air flow, whereby even persistently adhering powder or dust residues can be removed.
  • the simultaneously active suction ensures that the said powder and dust residues do not get into the environment or other machine parts, so that overall an effective cleaning is achieved.
  • the blower channel is formed in particular in its design in the ejector pin by a hollow and frontally sealed tube, in the peripheral wall blow-out are formed.
  • the blow-out slots have slot axes which are advantageously inclined with respect to the longitudinal direction and the radial direction of the respective blow duct to the suction towards.
  • the suction head is in its passive ejection position to a sealing surface such that the one or more suction channels formed in the suction head are sealed flow-tight.
  • the one or more suction channels are released from the sealing surface.
  • the vacuum source of the suction device is active during the entire cycle. The vacuum source does not need to be switched off. The suction is therefore only by the pivoting position of the Suction head on or off, which is possible with low response times and high clock rates.
