Abstract

The specification describes a method and apparatus for vacuum filling containers, particularly small containers such as orally acceptable capsules, with powder. For filling a container (6) use is made of a material delivery passage (2) which is non-vertical. Discrete solid material from a supply (5) can descend freely into this passage but its spatial course and cross-sectional size are such that material remains supported in the passage until air is aspirated from the container (6) via an air exhaust passage (3). Flow of material through the delivery passage (2) ceases following restoration of normal atmospheric pressure at the exit end of such passage.
