Abstract

PD 7005 A process for filling and sealing vessels with a nonlocking mating which have been produced by pressure molding and preferably injection molding natural starch or other hydrophilic materials, or a mixture of compounds of this nature, and which comprise a container part and a closure part, said vessels being, in particular, vessels of the shape of pharmaceutical capsules in which process a) the product constituting the filling is introduced into a vessel of the abovementioned type, this vessel being snap-lock free, b) a sealing liquid is brought into contact either with the whole of that mating area of the closure part which touches the mating area of the container part when the vessel is in the closed state, or with an element of that mating area of the closure part, and/or with the whole of that mating area of the container part which touches the mating area of the closure part when the vessel is in the closed state, or with an element of that area of the container part, and c) the container part and the closure part are subsequently united in order to form the irrevocably sealed vessel. An appliance for carrying out the process is described.
