Definitions
- the tablets and / or compacts are ejected by lifting the lower punch from the openings of the Matrizzenin so that they come to rest on the surface of the die plate. From the tablets and / or compacts, which are on the top are located on the die table, the "good" tablets are passed through an inclined tablet scraper on the top side of the die plate to the outside in an inlet of a tablet chute.
- the running surfaces of the chutes on which the tablets leave the tableting machine should be level and very smooth, so that the tablets can leave the chute as non-disruptively as possible and without braking.
- the slides were made of chromed sheet steel. Sheet metal slides are usually made of thin material with a wall thickness of 1 - 2 mm. The sheet metal sections are usually folded, punched and welded. Since the material warps as a result of the heat treatment, the finished welded down slides are directed and then ground or polished. With gentle treatment, the stainless steel slides have a long service life and a lasting surface quality even with a daily 3-shift application. Usually, however, the slides are damaged, deformed and bent by rough handling, so that they cause problems in use in the tabletting machine.
- chutes which are not stable enough for the daily continuous use. For this reason, in the last few years, full-body drainage chutes, which are milled from a block of plastic or aluminum, have prevailed. These chutes, which are made of a solid material, are more expensive to produce and more expensive than metal chutes, but much more stable and they pose no problems in production.
- Tableting machines produce large numbers of tablet and compact formats. There are small and large, as well as light and heavy tablets, with all these tablets leaving the tableting machine via the tablet chute. It is therefore a concern of the present invention to provide a tablet chute with the tablets with different geometries, sizes and weights can be removed without interference and without unwanted jamming or tilting from the press room of the tableting machine.
- the chute In order for the tablets to be able to leave the chute as smoothly as possible and due to gravity, the chute must have a steep incline from the die disc to the outside. However, the steepness of the chute makes it difficult to connect the chute to the die plate of the tablet press without obstacle as the surface of the die plate is horizontal and flat. Another concern of the present invention is therefore to make the transition area between die plate and chute as obstacle as possible and less susceptible to interference.
- the individual channels are usually present in a plane next to one another in the outlet chute, so that the conventional chutes can become very wide and heavy.
- the dimensions of the chute and also the weight of the parts are further increased if the tableting machine is also intended to produce large tablets with a diameter of, for example, 25 mm and a thickness of 5 mm.
- the channel width must be designed so that two tablets, together with a vertical tablet, have enough space between the two flat-lying tablets and do not jam between the usually vertical channel walls. Blocking the pills in these large tablets is particularly critical, as the high tablet weight of several grams per tablet and the large volume of the tablets cause the channel to clog up very quickly and undesirably distribute the tablets, tablet breakage and dust throughout the entire compression chamber can be.
- a discharge chute for a tableting machine which comprises a first channel and one or more further channels for receiving compacts.
- the chute is characterized in that the chute comprises a first and a second plane, the two planes being superimposed and the first plane comprising the first channel, and inputs for the further channels, the chute comprising one or more sorting devices are adapted to release or block at least some of these inputs, whereby the compacts are divided into subsets of compacts. It is particularly preferred that at least one of the subsets of compacts passes through at least one of the other channels in the second level.
- the proposed chute can be produced in an especially narrow, uncomplicated and uncomplicated manner on a tableting machine in order to guide the pellets out of the press room of the tableting machine and to feed them to corresponding outlets. It has been shown that the transition between the die plate of the tabletting machine and because of the narrow design of the outlet chute, the proposed chute can be designed to be particularly "smooth" and without obstacles for the compacts, thereby efficiently avoiding the formation of false lines and backflow into the press room. In the case of a faulty line, a faulty tablet remains on the preferably horizontal shims in the sense of the invention. After some time, it can slip from the sheet due to the vibrations and thus enter the gutter channel in an uncontrolled manner, so that it undesirably leaves the rotary press with the tablets found to be "good".
- the sorting channels of the proposed discharge chute are arranged in two planes, the individual channels can be made wider than in the case of conventional discharge chutes in which the channels are arranged in one plane. This ensures that with the proposed chute pellets are formed With various geometries, sizes and weights, it is particularly trouble-free and safe to flow through the channels of the discharge chute, in particular without tilting or jamming. As a result, unwanted backflows are avoided and breakage of the compacts, when acting in the tilting large forces on the compact prevented. It is preferred for the purposes of the invention that the terms “tablets” and “compacts” are used interchangeably.
- side-by-side channels of the upper level can be very wide, since further channels can be arranged in the second level.
- two upper channels each have a clear width of 60 mm, so that advantageously also two larger tablets, such as. B. effervescent tablets, with a diameter of 25 mm next to each other and with a tablet can pass between the chute vertically, without jamming.
- a slide shaft in the lower level, z. B. under the second chute channel, is then preferably intended for the removal of the sorted out individual tablets and the sorted average tablets.
- the double-decker tablet chute allows for a width of z. B. ONLY max. 120 mm in total, for example, 4 different channels, all for the handling of different tablets, in particular of particularly large effervescent tablets are suitable.
- the necessary point change for guiding the tablet streams preferably takes place by means of vertically movable tandem swords (webs), between which no tablet or tablet break can become jammed.
- a maximum shaft width for tablet chutes has become necessary in particular through the customary use of change rotors. Since in all modern rotary presses the rotor-and thus also the tool format-can preferably be changed, with a machine advantageously very small tablets but also very large tablets, such as e.g. Effervescent tablets are manufactured. Since one does not want to use a separate tablet chute for every tablet format, the chute should be able to easily transport any type of tablet. With a "standard slide" tablets with a diameter of up to 25 mm can be pressed. The slides should be reasons not to be wider than 120 mm for reasons of stability. Thus, the available space for the chute is limited in width.
- a 4-fold tablet drain chute with a width of in particular 120 mm and a shaft width of 60 mm is possible by the device, the 4-wells are preferably distributed over two levels and the leadership of the tablet flows preferably carried out by means of two vertically working tandem swords (bars) that can no longer become jammed.
- the webs for sorting faulty average tablets may use channels Nos. 3 + 4, preferably in a lower level and for sorting out sample tablets into a channel No.2.
- a corresponding space below the channel no. 1 is preferably required.
- the proposed chutes are lighter in weight than conventional chutes, with the in the Technology described widths and sheet or material thicknesses. Due to the compact, narrow design provided by the proposed chute, the chute is easy to handle for an operator or operator of the tableting machine and is particularly user-friendly.
- a particular merit of the invention is that the proposed arrangement of the elements of the chute, the first level of the chute can be provided without electrical components, so that this upper level of theticianrut- can be washed surprisingly and the customer in a washable version can be made available, which can lead to savings in the area of personnel and costs in the daily operation of the chute.
- the second, lower level of the drainage slide can also be washed if previously electrical components associated with the second level of the drainage slide have been removed, such as for example accumulation sensors or the two linear drives which relate to the sorting devices to drive their elements.
- a wet cleaning in a washing machine is possible for components of a tableting machine.
- the proposed drainage slide has a particularly stable and torsionally rigid shape, so that the slip-off slide can withstand the high mechanical loads during long-term use.

- the discharge chute comprises two sorting devices that are fundamentally different from the conventional points and sorting devices.
- the first sorting device may also be referred to as a mean value diverter. It has the task of reliably separating the tablets which are outside of a weight tolerance from the "good" tablets and sorting them out. This situation often arises when starting the rotary press and when stopping the machine. But even during production, the average force of the pressing force can deviate significantly from the nominal value, which makes sorting out these tablets necessary. If the tabletting machine is not equipped with a tablet sorting system, this mean value switch is activated if the value is exceeded.
- the first sorting device is preferably able to remove defective tablets from the tablet stream, as well as approximately 2-3 tablets before and about 2-3 tablets after the faulty tablet, preferably with the bad tablet eradicate, whereby the risk that a faulty Tablet enters the Gutkanal, is particularly safe minimized.

- the switches or the sorting devices are raised in the partition by a rocker arm when the corresponding sorting unit is below, preferably in the plane 2, in the rest position. If, for example, the sorting gate in the Gutkanal is raised by the lifting drive, the other points in each case are pressed down by springs, since the tilting lever releases the points.
- the springs are shown in FIG. 4, for example. It is preferred in the context of the invention to designate the lifting drive as a linear drive or as a drive for the sorting webs.
- the proposed chute can also be used in connection with such tabletting machines, which have a pneumatic individual sorting of bad tablets.
- the sorting of recognized as "bad" tablets is usually done with compressed air.
- the corresponding sorting nozzle is preferably located in a tip of the tablet wiper, since in particular there the tablets are individually on the die plate. If a tablet is found to be faulty during the pressing process, a blast of compressed air is triggered when the tablet reaches the sorting nozzle in the tablet scraper, which moves the tablet radially outwards so that it lands in the opening of the bad channel of the tablet chute. Since this channel segment preferably has no bottom or an opening in the bottom, the screened tablet falls down into the second level into the collecting channel.

If pattern tablets are required from the good production, they are guided into the pattern channel (13) with the sorting web (8) of the second sorting device (14). Faulty individual tablets are fed via the pneumatic individual sorting into the left inlet of the tablet drain slide in the upper level (2) of the discharge chute (1), to which the
- the chute (1) comprises a center wall (12) which divides the chute (1) into two substantially similar side halves.
- the middle wall (12) comprises openings (16, 21) through which the tablets can pass from the product channel (4) into the discharge channel (5) or into the pattern channel (13).
- the first opening (16) in the middle wall (12) represents the input (16) for the reject channel (5). This input (16) can be blocked or closed with the door web (11) of the first sorting device (7). so that no tablets can get into the reject channel (5).
- the second opening (21) in the middle wall (12) represents the inlet (21) for the pattern channel (13). This inlet (21) can be blocked or closed by the separating web (9) of the second sorting device (14) so that no tablets can get into the pattern channel (13). It is preferred in the sense of the invention that the sorting web (10) and the door web (11) form the first sorting device (7) and that the sorting web (8) and the
- Separating web (9) form the second sorting device (14). It is within the meaning of the invention in that the sections of the first channel (4) and the fourth channel (13) comprise openings for dust extraction devices.
- the pattern tablets which preferably originate from the good channel (4) or from the first subset of compacts, can enter the pattern channel (13) .
- the coupling of the two webs (8, 9) of the second sorting device (14) is preferably carried out by a rocker arm (22).
- This rocker arm (22) is rotatably connected to the sorting web (8) on the right side and mounted stationary in the middle.
- the lever (22) is acted on by the return springs of the separating web (9) of the second sorting device (14).
- the rocker arm (22) is also pivoted, thereby allowing the separating web (9) to descend by the spring force.
- the separating web (9) is raised automatically by means of the rocker arm (22).
- the underlying mechanism for the sorting devices (7, 14), which allows the coupling of the webs (8, 9 and 10, 1 1), is preferably in the lower second level (3) of the proposed tablet chute (1) in the example of the invention shown in FIG. 3 on the right side of the collecting channel (15).
- the linear drives (17) are each releasably fastened to the bottom plate (3) by a quick-release fastener.
- FIG. 3 shows in the middle in the discharge chute (1) a middle wall (12) which has two openings (16, 21).
- the first opening represents the entrance (16) of the reject channel (5), while the second opening represents the entrance (21) of the pattern channel (13).
- Figure 4 shows a representation of the coupled adjustment of two webs (8 and 9 o- of 10 and 1 1) of a sorting device (7 or 14) of the proposed sequence rut see (1).
- the two separating webs (9, 10) of the first and the second sorting devices (7, 14) can be seen.
- the separating webs (9, 10) have on their lower side a recess, whose edge cooperates with a respective rocker arm (22).
- the interaction of the rocker arms (22) and the linear drives (17) ensures that an upward movement of a sorting web (8, 11) leads to an upward movement of the corresponding separating web (9, 10) and vice versa.
- the coupling mechanisms which enable the coupled movement of the webs (8 and 9 or 10 and 11) of the sorting devices (7, 14), are preferably located in the region of the lower level (3) of the discharge chute (1), preferably below the Gutkanals (4), which is part of the first level (2) of the chute (1).
