Description
Technical Field
The utility model relates to a station and a corresponding capsule machine of filling are rejected to unseparated capsule.
Background
Various capsule filling machines are known in the industrial field and are used in the pharmaceutical field for filling capsules comprising a lower capsule part and an upper capsule part with a medicament, in particular in powder form. Capsule filling machines typically comprise a plurality of work stations arranged along the revolving path of a delivery wheel.
The work stations generally comprise at least one capsule sorting station, a capsule separating station, an unseparated capsule rejection station, a capsule filling station, a capsule closing station, a capsule inspection station and a capsule ejection station. The capsule sorting station is used to sort the unordered empty capsules into aligned capsules, in particular into a row, which are then placed in respective empty capsule holders (also called lower moulds). Along the periphery of the delivery wheel, a plurality of capsule holders are usually provided, each capsule holder in turn usually having a plurality of receiving recesses, e.g. receiving holes, for receiving respectively aligned capsules. When placing an aligned capsule in the capsule holder, the capsule separating station may separate the upper capsule part from the lower capsule part, the separated lower capsule part still remaining in the receiving recess of the capsule holder, while the separated upper capsule part may be held by the upper mold. After the upper and lower capsule parts are separated, the lower capsule part may be filled with a medicament at a capsule filling station. After the lower capsule part is filled with the medicament, the upper capsule part can be replaced again onto the lower capsule part to close the capsule, thereby forming a filled capsule at the capsule closing station. The quality and/or filling status of the filled capsules may be checked at the capsule inspection station. The inspected capsules will be removed from the transport wheel at the capsule ejection station.
However, in practice it has been found that not all capsules can be separated normally at the capsule separation station, the unseparated capsules still being in a closed state and usually still remaining in the upper mould. For this purpose, the unseparated capsules need to be removed from the upper die at an unseparated capsule removal station, the removed capsules being blown, typically by means of an air flow, into a collection device, for example a vacuum cleaning chamber, for collection.
However, for various reasons, such as differences in capsule size (wall thickness and/or dimensions of the upper capsule part), the air flow may not normally blow off the capsule, and in particular may not normally blow off to a location where it can be collected by the collecting means, which is very disadvantageous for the overall production process.
Therefore, there may be a need for further improvements to existing capsule filling machines, in particular for improvements to the unseparated capsule reject stations thereof.
