The weight of the capsule 2 itself is constant, so the weight of the filling material is easily detected. The weight is calculated by the calculation means 55, and it is determined whether the weight is excessive or insufficient. If the excess or deficiency exceeds the specified range,
The filling amount adjusting mechanism 56 is operated, and the piston 10 is moved up and down together with the cam member 13 to increase or decrease the volume of the cylinder 8.
As a result, the amount of collected filler when the cylinder 8 is pushed into the filler storage box 32 can be adjusted.

カプセルを製造することができる。As described above, according to the present invention, the sample take-out means for taking out the capsule filled with the filling material, which is supported by the holding plate, is arranged at a proper position in the filling device, and is supported by the holding plate.
Moreover, since the capsule filled with the filler is sampled and measured, the filler supply member for the capsule can be specified to determine the excess or deficiency of the filling amount by the supply member. By sequentially performing the sampling method, it is possible to determine the quality of the supply amount of the filler of each supply member. Therefore, when there is a capsule with an abnormal supply amount, the filler supply member for the capsule can be specified, and the supply amount of the filler supply member is adjusted based on this. In addition, when the capsules are within the allowable range and the supply amount of all the supply members is insufficient or excessive, it is immediately fed back and corrected by the filling amount adjustment mechanism, so that the number of defective products is reduced. Can be measured. Further, since the adjustment is performed electrically, unlike the conventional manual operation, fine adjustment is possible, the deviation value of the weight is reduced, and the capsule filled with the filler of substantially uniform weight can be manufactured.
