Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for delimiting and transferring pellets, in particular cryopellets, into a target container, as well as to a separating device for carrying out this method.
- Numerous active pharmaceutical ingredients are applied as a solution, but are unstable in dissolved form. As a freeze-dried formulation, however, they can be stably stored and reconstituted immediately before use. Examples include biotechnological products, peptides, vaccines and certain
- cryopellets are also produced in the form of more or less spherical multiparticulate preparations as so-called cryopellets.
- the starting solution is brought into drop form, wherein drops can be produced with a precisely defined volume.
- these drops are frozen in liquid nitrogen and then dried by sublimation.
- the dry cryopellets produced in this way have at least approximately a spherical shape with a defined mean diameter. If necessary, they can be brought back into solution in an appropriate amount v.
- the aim is to produce only such a limited amount of solution as is necessary to meet the immediate needs, for which appropriate amounts of Cryopellets in suitable
- Packaging units are kept.
- cryopellets are extremely fragile and susceptible to abrasion.
- Existing feed technologies eg slide, vibratory feed
- the density of the pellets is typically so small with typically p ⁇ 0.2 g / ml that their weight alone is scarcely sufficient for targeted delivery.
- the pellets have frequent contact with each other and with other surfaces a pronounced tendency to electrostatic charge, which is critical especially in a vibratory feeder.
- the filling usually has to be carried out at a very low relative humidity or under a protective gas atmosphere.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of specifying a method for the delimitation and the transfer of pellets in a target container, which allows a reliable and economical implementation even with difficult materials such as Cryopellets.
- a further object of the invention is to provide a separating device suitable for this purpose. This object is achieved by a separating device with the features of claim 7.
- a supply of pellets is provided in a storage space.
- the pellets are then passed out of the storage space into a downwardly out of the storage space and upwardly oriented metering channel such that forms a column of stacked pellets in the metering.
- the lowest pellet of this column of pellets is located in a connection point, wherein an outlet channel is connected to the dosing channel at the connection point and continues transversely from the dosing channel.
- a first pressure difference channel which opens into the dosing channel above the connection point by means of a first channel opening, is subjected to negative pressure, wherein a pellet is sucked to the first channel opening and consequently fixed locally there. This sucked pellet acts as a barrier for the pellets above it.
- a second pressure difference channel which opens into the connection point by means of a second channel opening, subjected to overpressure, wherein the pellet located in the connection point is blown through the outlet channel and fed to the target container.
- the holding negative pressure in the first, upper differential pressure channel is switched off, so that the pellet held at the first channel mouth moves towards the connection point and a new lowermost pellet is in the connection point.
- one or more pellets can be separated from the large pellet supply and fed in the limited number to the target container, wherein the delimitation and also the feeding is carried out solely by the targeted application of negative pressure and overpressure. Due to the purely pneumatic handling, the mechanical effect on the pellets is very low. Even mechanically critical pellets such as Cryopellets can be reliably handled without that mechanical damage of the pellets such as abrasion or the like can be recorded. In the context of the invention, the density of the pellets, which is too low for delivery under weight, proves to be an advantage because the suction and fixing of the pellets as well as the transport by blow-out function effectively at the very low material densities typical here.
- the first and the second channel mouth are arranged in a height difference from one another.
- said height difference is an integer multiple of a mean diameter of the pellets. This ensures that below the barrier acting pellets a defined number of pellets is collected, which is then blown in exactly this number in the target container.
- the integer multiple may be two, three, four or more, and specifies the number of pellets to be blown out into each target container.
- the integer multiple is one, as a result of which exactly one pellet is blown out with each working cycle. However, this does not necessarily mean that even just one pellet is fed to the target container. Rather, a certain number of individual pellets can be blown by a certain number of cycles in the target container, whereby a high process reliability is given.
- an embodiment of the separating device may also be expedient in which a plurality of first pressure difference channels open into the dosing channel by means of their associated first channel openings. Depending on requirements, then a more or less highly positioned channel mouth can be activated with negative pressure and serve as a barrier, in which case depending on the selected altitude, a more or less large number of pellets is collected below and ejected into the target container.
- the demarcation of a certain number of pellets is based on the fact that negative pressure is built up in the first, upper pressure difference channel, as a result of which a pellet is sucked in and held on the associated first channel mouth, this sucked-in and held-on pellet being a barrier for the one above Pellets works.
- this sucked-in and held-on pellet being a barrier for the one above Pellets works.
- the one or more pellets collected underneath can be blown out in the intended number, without further pellets advancing prematurely from above and falsifying the previously delimited quantity.
- various manipulations are possible. It may be sufficient, for example, that the lowermost pellet simply rests on the bottom of the transverse outlet channel and lies in the area of action of the second pressure difference channel.
- the lowest pellet is not simply allowed to stand up on the ground. Rather, the lowermost pellet is sucked before blowing to the second channel mouth by the negative pressure is temporarily applied to the second pressure difference channel.
- a reliable tracking of the pellets from top to bottom is favored, above all, taking into account the low weight forces acting on them.
- the lowermost pellet is reliably fixed at the channel mouth of the lower pressure difference channel with suction force and thereby accurately positioned. This favors a precise counting process as well as a later reproducible blow-out process.
- the suction of the pellets acting as a barrier to the first channel mouth and the suction of the lowermost pellets to the second channel mouth occurs in temporal change. There may be temporal overlaps. In any case, however, it should be ensured that there are timeslots in which only one of the two pressure difference channels is subjected to negative pressure. This ensures that the intake at one of the two channel openings is not influenced in detail by the intake at the respective other channel opening.
- the holding negative pressure in the first pressure difference channel is switched off. It may be sufficient that there remains ambient pressure or a slight, but no longer holding negative pressure.
- the first pressure difference channel is subjected to overpressure. Even with only a slight overpressure, a back-up is supported or promoted downwards by the pellet initially held at the first channel mouth. It may be sufficient to perform the entire process control with air as the pressure and vacuum medium.
- a protective gas is suitably used, wherein such a protective gas is advantageously introduced at an overpressurization of the first and / or the second pressure difference channel in the metering or in the outlet channel.
- a protective gas is advantageously introduced at an overpressurization of the first and / or the second pressure difference channel in the metering or in the outlet channel.
- a pressure monitoring and / or a flow rate monitoring of the first and / or the second pressure difference channel is undertaken.
- the simple method according to the invention also requires a separating device which is held only in a simple manner, the essential ones being that of the invention
- Elements in the form of channels and the like can be readily incorporated into a body.
- This makes it possible for a plurality of separating devices to be connected to one another in a modular manner and therefore to be flexibly constructed in the desired number and configuration. It may be expedient to design the necessary channels and the like as bores in such a base body.
- the storage space, the metering channel, the outlet channel, the first pressure difference channel and / or the second pressure difference channel are incorporated into the surface of such a body and closed by the main body of an adjacent separating device. On the one hand, this minimizes production costs.
- by disassembly good accessibility of all channels can be achieved, so that disturbances of any kind can be easily resolved.
