Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for filling and closing capsules composed of a capsule upper part and a capsule lower part, comprising a plurality of process stations arranged along a preferably circular conveyor path, and a plurality of capsule conveying devices each having a plurality of capsule receptacles for accommodating a respective capsule, wherein the capsule conveyors convey captured capsules along the conveyor path through the process stations.
  • Such devices are also referred to as rotary encapsulation machines. They have along the conveyor line various stations, in particular a feed station for feeding the prefilled capsules to be filled, an opening station in which the capsule halves are separated, one or more dosing stations in which the material to be filled is filled into the capsule sub-parts, a closing station, in which the capsule halves are closed and an ejection station in which the capsules produced are ejected.
  • a feed station for feeding the prefilled capsules to be filled
  • an opening station in which the capsule halves are separated
  • one or more dosing stations in which the material to be filled is filled into the capsule sub-parts
  • a closing station in which the capsule halves are closed
  • an ejection station in which the capsules produced are ejected.
  • many empty stations are provided, which can be used differently depending on the application.
  • the process stations are approached by corresponding capsule conveyors in particular cyclically.
  • the capsule delivery devices receive a predetermined number of capsules.
  • the number of capsules to be recorded determines the number of cycles with the Device maximum achievable output.
  • Devices with a medium output have between eight and twelve capsule receptacles per capsule delivery device, the capsules being arranged along a row.
  • Machines with a higher output take up twice as many capsules per capsule conveyor device by forming two rows of capsule holders. This is associated with a corresponding doubling of the output of the device.
  • the number of cycles can be increased.
  • the currently prevailing maximum cycle rate of about 150 cycles per minute is in the vicinity of the physically possible, since the process stations for supplying, for dosing and, above all, for closing the capsules require a time that can not be reduced in practice. For example, when closing the capsules, this is due to the air displacement during the closing process.
  • Another way to increase the output is to further increase the capsule receptacles per capsule conveyor. This approach was followed by the provision of a second series of capsule receptacles. However, this possibility also reaches physical limits.
  • the common dosing stations are either stuffing stations or riser stations. In such dosing stations stuffing or pressing forces must be absorbed, which increase with the number of capsule receptacles.
  • the present invention seeks to provide a device of the type mentioned, with the least possible space installation of the device over the prior art can be increased.
  • the invention achieves the object in that at least two successively arranged track sections are formed along the conveyor track, wherein along a first track section, a first station group is provided by sequentially arranged process stations, and at least one further track section along at least one further station group is provided by successively arranged process stations, wherein the station groups each have at least one feed station for feeding capsules to be filled into the capsule receptacles of the capsule delivery devices, respectively at least one opening station for opening the capsules to be filled by separating the capsule tops from the capsule bases, at least one dosing station for filling the capsule bottoms with the material to be filled, in each case at least one closing station for closing the filled capsules by placing the capsule top on the filled capsule bottoms, and include at least one ejection station for ejecting the filled capsules.
  • the capsules are pre-capped and empty to the device. They are opened in the device, filled and then locked.
  • the capsule tops and capsule bottoms may each have a latch or the like to be releasably connected to each other and sealed therewith.
  • the latching usually has not yet taken place, so that a simple opening of the capsules in the device is possible.
  • the filled capsules are ejected.
  • the function of the individual process stations per se can basically be carried out as known from the prior art. For example, the opening stations can separate the capsule tops and capsule bottoms from each other by a vacuum device.
  • the capsule conveying devices can have an upper part and a lower part, in each of which capsule receptacles for the upper capsule parts or the lower capsule parts are provided.
  • the dosing stations may, for example, comprise so-called stuffing stamp stations or so-called riser stations.
  • stuffing stamp stations for example, a compact having a predetermined dimensional stability is produced by usually successive pressing of a powder to be filled by means of stuffing punches, which is then transferred to the capsule parts in a transfer area.
  • pellets can be filled in the dosing stations without stuffing dies or the like in the capsule parts.
  • the closing stations can lock the capsule halves together in a manner known per se.
  • the ejection stations may, for example, comprise per se known mechanical ejectors.
  • At least two successively arranged track sections are formed along the conveyor track.
  • a first track section is formed by a first station group of process stations arranged one behind the other and at least one further track section is formed by at least one further station group of process stations arranged one behind the other.
  • the station groups each include the Process stations required to pick up, open, fill, close and eject the capsules.
  • at least two complete production paths are thus formed along the conveyor track.
  • the capsule conveying devices can be arranged, for example, on a conveying wheel, which in particular rotates cyclically, so that the capsule conveying devices successively pass through the process stations along the conveying path one after the other.
  • exactly as many capsule delivery devices can be provided as there are process stations provided along the conveyor path as a whole.
  • a plurality of batches, in particular two batches, are filled and ejected from the capsule conveying devices on the basis of the multiplication according to the invention, in particular doubling, of the normal production process with a full circumference along the conveying path.
  • the invention is based on the finding that the arrangement of at least two complete production paths along the conveyor track and a multiplication of the output of the device relative to conventional devices is possible by suitable reduction of the total number of process stations, without the installation space of the device being undesirably increased , By reducing the number of process stations to what is usually required, less space is required along the conveyor track. This gained space is used for the multiplication of the production paths according to the invention.
  • a considerable increase in output is achieved without the number of cycles per unit of time or the number of capsule receptacles of the capsule delivery devices having to be increased.
  • a suitable selection and, if appropriate, pooling of the actually required process stations it can be ensured that, despite a multiplication of the production processes along the conveyor track, the total number of process stations does not multiply in the same way.
  • only one feed station can be provided per station group.
  • only one opening station and one closing station can be provided per station group.
  • the invention offers considerable advantages.
  • the cleaning time is also a considerably larger compared to known devices machine still significantly less than the cleaning time of several separate devices, since in particular the surface to be cleaned is not multiplied.
  • exactly two track sections can be provided, each with exactly one station group.
  • the web sections can then cover in a circular conveyor track in each case substantially 180 ° of the conveyor track.
  • Such a symmetrical design of the web sections, optionally with identical configuration and arrangement of the process stations simplifies the processes in the device according to the invention.
  • the track sections are of different sizes, in particular if the station groups have a different number of process stations and / or differently arranged and designed process stations.
  • more than two track sections may be formed along the conveyor track, which then each comprise the above-mentioned process stations.
  • a third station group, a fourth station group, etc. which may be arranged along a third track section, a fourth track section, etc., may also exist. This is especially true in cases where a larger space is available.
  • the feed station and the opening station of the first station group is integrated into a common feed and opening station of the first station group and / or that the feed station and the opening station of the at least one further station group into a common Feeding and opening station of at least one further station group is integrated.
  • the first station group does not comprise more than two metering stations and / or that the at least one further station group does not comprise more than two metering stations.
  • the metering stations of the station groups for example, different, usually powdered or in a conventional manner pellet-shaped material filled in the capsule parts. It may be, for example, a pharmaceutical material or another material.
  • space is often provided for up to five different dosing stations. In fact, the vast majority of common capsules contain no more than two different ingredients. against this background, the limitation associated with this embodiment is acceptable in terms of a reduction in space.
  • the capsule conveyance means may each comprise a first and a second series of capsule receptacles, in order to maximize in this way the application of the device. If the capsule conveying devices each have an upper part and a lower part, both upper part and lower part respectively have two rows of capsule receptacles. It is then further possible that the station groups each comprise a first and a second feed station, wherein the first feed station is adapted to each of the one capsule receptacles of a capsule delivery device to supply capsules, and wherein the second feed station is adapted to each of the other row supplied by capsule receptacles of the capsule delivery device capsules. According to a further embodiment, it can be provided that the station groups each comprise only one feed station, the feed stations being designed to supply capsules to both capsules of a capsule delivery device. This makes it possible to further reduce the number of stations per station group.
  • At least one process station of the station groups can be designed as metering and ejection station, wherein in the metering and ejection station unopened capsules are ejected by the at least one opening station.
  • the dosing station is thus an ejection station arranged, for example, parallel to the dosing station assigned, so that a metering and ejection station is realized.
  • the ejection can be done for example by suitable ejector. Unopened capsules may then be fed to a bad capsule catcher.
  • a collecting device which is common to all station groups and which is arranged in such a way that it is supplied with the capsules ejected in the ejection stations of all station groups. It is also possible to provide a common test device for all station groups for testing the capsules filled in the process stations of all station groups.
  • the common testing device can be arranged such that the capsules ejected in the ejection stations of all station groups are supplied to it for testing.
  • the station groups each comprise two ejection stations, wherein in each case one of the ejection stations is adapted to supply Gutkapseln a first catcher, and wherein the other of the ejection stations is adapted to feed Badkapseln a second catcher, and wherein the station groups each comprise a testing device upstream of the ejection stations in the conveying direction of the capsules along the conveyor track for checking the capsules and for assigning them to one of the two ejection stations.
  • the test of the capsules takes place before the ejection of the capsules. This can be advantageous since the capsules then still have a firmly defined position in the capsule receptacles. In a test and sorting after ejection, the capsules may need to be separated again, which creates additional expense.
  • the station groups each comprise only one ejection station, wherein the ejection stations each comprise a device for distinguishing between capsules and bad capsules. It must then be provided, for example, two station groups only two ejection stations.
