Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Maschine zum Befüllen von Kapseln, insbesondere Hartgelatinekapseln, mit einem riesel- oder fließfähigen Gut, insbesondere Arzneimittelpulver, ein Verfahren zum Befüllen von Kapseln sowie eine elektronische Steuereinrichtung zur automatischen Durchführung eines solchen Verfahrens.The The invention relates to a machine for filling capsules, in particular Hard gelatine capsules, with a free-flowing or flowable good, in particular pharmaceutical powder, a method of filling of capsules and an electronic control device for automatic execution of such a procedure.
Hartgelatinekapseln, welche aus einem Kapselunterteil und einem Kapseldeckel zusammengefügt sind, sind eine weit verbreitete Verabreichungsform von pulver-, pellet- oder kügelchenförmigem Arzneimitteln. Hartgelatinekapseln werden einerseits in industriellen Arzneimittelproduktionsstätten in sehr großen Stückzahlen hergestellt, andererseits werden aber Hartgelatinekapseln auch in Apotheken zur Herstellung von individuellen Rezepturen verwendet, wobei die Stückzahlen weitaus geringer sind.Hard gelatin capsules, which are assembled from a capsule base and a capsule lid, are a widely used form of administration of powder, pellet or globular drug. Hard gelatin capsules are used on one hand in industrial drug manufacturing facilities in very big numbers On the other hand, however, hard gelatin capsules are also produced in Pharmacies used for the preparation of individual recipes, wherein the numbers are much smaller.
Aus dem Katalog „Wepa-Apothekenbedarf" sind Kapselfüllhilfsmittel bekannt, bei denen die Kapseln manuell in Lochplatten eingeführt werden. In einem Arbeitsgang werden dann üblicherweise 30 bis 120 Kapseln geöffnet, mit Arzneimittelpulver befüllt und anschließend wieder geschlossen. Die einzelnen Arbeitsschritte erfolgen dabei manuell, so dass die Herstellung, insbesondere wenn etwas höhere Stückzahlen benötigt werden, sehr zeitaufwändig ist.Out the catalog "Wepa-Apothekenbedarf" are capsule filling aids in which the capsules are manually inserted into perforated plates. In one operation then usually 30 to 120 capsules open, filled with drug powder and subsequently closed again. The individual steps are carried out manually, making the production, especially if slightly higher quantities needed be, very time consuming is.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Maschine zum Befüllen von Kapseln bereitzustellen, mit deren Hilfe insbesondere in einer Apotheke anfallende Stückzahlen von Kapseln kostengünstig, einfach, zuverlässig und vollautomatisch herstellbar sind. Die Maschine soll klein bauen, leicht zu handhaben und zu reinigen sein und für verschiedene Kapselgrößen verwendbar werden können.Of the Invention is based on the object, a machine for filling To provide capsules, with the help of which in particular in a pharmacy accumulating quantities cheap from capsules, simple, reliable and are fully automatic. The machine should build small, easy to handle and clean and suitable for various capsule sizes can be.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Maschine mit den Merkmalen des Hauptanspruchs gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Maschine sind durch die Unteransprüche gegeben. Weiterhin ist ein Verfahren zum Befüllen von Kapseln mit der Maschine sowie eine elektronische Steuereinrichtung zur automatischen Durchführung des Verfahrens angegeben.These The object is achieved by a machine having the features of the main claim solved. Advantageous embodiments of the machine are given by the dependent claims. Furthermore, a method for filling capsules with the machine and an electronic control device for automatically carrying out the Specified method.
Die erfindungsgemäße Maschine zum sequentiellen Befüllen von Kapseln weist einen Kapselvorratsbehälter zur Aufnahme von aus einem Kapselunterteil und einem Kapseldeckel zusammengefügten leeren Kapseln auf. Eine Kapselfördereinrichtung dient zur sequentiellen Entnahme der leeren Kapseln aus dem Kapselvorratsbehälter und zum Zuführen von jeweils einer Kapsel zu einem Kapselhalter, in dem die Kapsel mit ihrem Kapselunterteil fixierbar ist. Die Maschine weist ferner eine Kapselöffnungseinrichtung zum Abheben des Kapseldeckels von dem im Kapselhalter fixierten Kapselunterteil der leeren Kapsel auf sowie eine Kapselverschlusseinrichtung zum Aufsetzen des Kapseldeckels auf das befüllte Kapselunterteil. Eine geöffnete Kapsel wird von dem bewegbaren Kapselhalter in die Position einer Befülleinrichtung gebracht, wo das riesel- oder fließfähige Gut, also zum Beispiel das Arzneimittelpulver, aus einem Vorratsbehälter in das Kapselunterteil eingebracht wird. Nachdem das Kapselunterteil mit einer definierten Menge von Arzneimittel befüllt ist, wird der Kapseldeckel von der Kapselverschließeinrichtung wieder aufgesetzt. Es ist somit eine einfache Ausgestaltung der Maschine geschaffen, die auch ohne Schwierigkeiten einzustellen und an die jeweilige Kapselgröße anzupassen ist. Außerdem sind eine leichte Bedienbarkeit, eine problemlose Reinigung sowie eine einfache Überwachung der einzelnen Arbeitsabläufe gegeben.The inventive machine for sequential filling of capsules has a capsule reservoir for receiving from a Capsule bottom and a capsule lid assembled empty Capsules on. A capsule conveyor device is used for the sequential removal of the empty capsules from the capsule reservoir and for feeding one capsule to a capsule holder, in which the capsule with its capsule base is fixable. The machine also has a Capsule opening device for lifting the capsule lid of the fixed in the capsule holder Capsule lower part of the empty capsule and a capsule closure device for Place the capsule lid on the filled capsule base. A opened Capsule is moved from the movable capsule holder into the position of a filling brought where the trickle or flowable good, so for example the drug powder, from a reservoir into the capsule base is introduced. After the capsule base with a defined Amount of drug filled is, the capsule lid of the capsule sealer again placed. It is thus a simple embodiment of the machine created that also without difficulty and to the to adjust the respective capsule size is. Furthermore are easy to use, easy to clean as well a simple monitoring the individual work processes given.
