The invention is characterized by a base unit (1) and pump components (3, 4, 5, 6, 11, 12, 13, 14) of at least two different pump types for a metering operation, wherein the pump components of each pump type can be combined with the base unit in order to form a pump system of the corresponding pump type, and the base unit has connection means (19, 23) for this purpose which are compatible with the connections of the pump components. The combination metering assembly can be adapted to different metering situations with little complexity and has a comparably small space requirement.

Description

Kombi-Dosieraggregat zum Abfüllen flüssiger Prokukte in Behälter  Combination dosing unit for filling liquid products into containers
Beschreibung description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Kombi-Dosieraggregat und eine Kombi- Dosieranlage zum Abfüllen flüssiger Produkte in Behälter, insbesondere zum Abfüllen pharmazeutischer Flüssigkeiten in Spritzen körper, The invention relates to a combination metering unit and a combination metering system for filling liquid products in containers, in particular for filling pharmaceutical liquids in syringes,
Medikamentenfläschchen u. dgl .. Medication vials u. Like ..
Zum Befüllen von beispielsweise Spitzenkörpern mit pharmazeutischen Flüssigkeiten werden derzeit hauptsächlich Drehkolbenpumpen, Rotary lobe pumps, for example, are currently mainly used to fill tip bodies with pharmaceutical liquids,
Peristaltikpumpen und Zeit-Druck-Dosierer verwendet. Diese bieten für verschiedene Anwendungen und Befüllsituationen verschiedene Vor- und Nachteile. Folglich kann Bedarf bestehen, in einem bestehenden  Peristaltic pumps and time-pressure dispensers used. These offer different advantages and disadvantages for different applications and filling situations. Consequently, there may be a need in an existing one
Abfüllsystem eine aktuell verwendete Pumpe durch eine andere Pumpe zu ersetzen oder gar in einem Abfüllsystem unmittelbar mehrere Pumpenarten vorzusehen. Filling system to replace a currently used pump with another pump or even to provide several types of pumps in one filling system.
Auch kann eine Situation vorliegen, in der die aktuell verwendete Pumpe durch eine gegebenenfalls gereinigte bzw. sterilisierte und/oder eine andere Pumpleistung aufweisende Pumpe des gleichen Pumpentyps auszutauschen ist. Dies bedeutet, dass bisweilen zeit- und kostenaufwändige There may also be a situation in which the currently used pump is to be replaced by a pump of the same pump type that may have been cleaned or sterilized and / or has a different pump output. This means that it is sometimes time-consuming and costly
Austauschprozeduren zu erfolgen haben. Exchange procedures have to take place.
Auch hat man Dosiersysteme aus mehreren parallel vorgesehenen vollständigen Pumpensystemen verwendet. Dies bedeutet einen relativ großen Bauraumbedarf und hat den Nachteil, dass die Pumpen nicht alle nahe an der Abfüllstelle platziert sein können, weshalb in nachteilhafter Weise größere Schlauchlängen erforderlich sind, was nicht zuletzt die Präzision des Abfüllens beeinträchtigt. Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, die genannten Nachteile zu überwinden und ein Kombi-Dosieraggregat bereitzustellen, welches mit geringem Aufwand an verschiedene Befüllsituationen bzw. Dosiersituationen anpassbar ist. Dosing systems from several complete pump systems provided in parallel have also been used. This means a relatively large space requirement and has the disadvantage that the pumps cannot all be placed close to the filling point, which is why disadvantageously larger hose lengths are required, which not least affects the precision of the filling. The object of the present invention is to overcome the disadvantages mentioned and to provide a combination metering unit which can be adapted to different filling or metering situations with little effort.
