Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the construction technique of capsule filling machines for powder, herbs, granules, pellets. INTERNATIONAL REFERENCE CLASS B65b.
  • capsule filling machines in which the dosing system is obtained by means of devices which enter the layer of products to be packed, withdraw a pre-set quantity of product and rise, coming out of the layer to introduce the dose in an empty capsule which is positioned over it
  • the problem to be solved is the realisation of an hermetic capsule filling machine in which the dosing devices are always inside the products to be packed, which can be treated even in minimum quantities distributed in layers having a reduced height.
  • Drawing no. 1 shows the partial radial section of a capsule filling machine which is equipped to produce capsules with powders or herbs. !t is possible to notice that the group to feed and dose powder or herbs is mainly composed of details nos. 1 , 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 while the capsule feeding group is mainly composed by details nos. 7,8,9,10,11.
  • Drawing no. 1 shows the capsule feeder complete with the device to dispose the capsuie with the top cap up, before being introduced in the opening device.
  • Drawing no. 2 shows the phase in which the already oriented capsules are introduced in to line with the opening device.
  • Drawing no. 3 shows the capsule opening phase during which the bottom is separated from the upper covering.
  • the dosing operation is in preparation; during this phase the piston no. 4 and the dosing device no. 3 start to move downwards.
  • Drawing no. 4 shows the transferring of the first partial dose, which is introduced in the bushing no. 5 below; it is possible to observe that the dosing piston no. 4 and the dosing device no. 3 continue to move downwards.
  • Drawing no. 5 shows the transferring of the first partial dose while the piston no. 4 and dosing device no.
  • Drawing no. 6 shows the piston no. 4 and the dosing device no. 3 that start moving upward after having released the first dosing in the bushing no. 5 below.
  • Drawing no. 7 and drawing no. 8 show the carrying out of the second partial dosing.
  • Drawing no. 9 shows the final phase of the dosing, when ail partial doses are pressed on the lower contrast disc no. 8 by the piston no. 4.
  • Drawing no. 10 shows the positioning of the capsule bottom in line with the upper bushing no. 5.
  • Drawing no. 11 shows the starting phase of dose insertion in the capsule bottom
  • Drawing no. 12 shows the ending phase of dose insertion in the capsule bottom.
  • Drawing no. 13 shows the movement back of the capsule bottom, which has been filled with the dose, toward the closing device.
  • Drawing no. 14 shows the positioning of the full capsule bottom that is aligned with its own top cap.
  • Drawings nos. 15, 16, 17 and 18 show the closing and ejecting phases of the capsules at the end of the packing cycle and the capsule filling machine preparation to start a new working cycle.
  • Drawing no. 19 is a schematical representation of the five concentric circumferences (I; II; III; IV; V) along which the different operating devices are distributed.
  • Drawing no. 20 is a schematical representation of the product to be packed. It is possible to notice that in the left part there is an arrangement with dosing devices to pack powder or herbs, while in the right part there is an arrangement with aspirating dosing devices to pack micro-granules. It is possible to observe the central channel no. 12 for the products to be filled no. 2, which are pushed towards the peripherical parts of the rotating tower by the centrifugal force .
  • Drawing from no. 21 to no. 38 show the same schematised capsule filling machine equipped with modified dosing devices to fill capsules with micro-granules.
  • Drawing no. 39 shows a capsule which is still empty but closed.
  • Drawing no. 40 shows only its top cap.
  • Drawing no. 41 shows the capsule bottom without the top cap.
  • Drawing no. 42 shows the dose introduced inside the capsule bottom.
  • Drawing no. 43 shows the closed capsule containing the dose
  • VACUUM indicates the dosing piston to work with granules/pellets, which is equipped with the internal cannula for the VACUUM aspiration
  • 5 indicates the bushing in which the doses of the product to be packed are inserted
  • 6 indicates a contrast disc for the pressing of the doses
  • 11 indicates an aspirating bar to separate the empty capsule bottom from the capsule top cap
  • the field of protection of the present invention will include the capsule filling machines that can equipped with the different dosing devices to handle powder/herbs or granules/pellets, having the characteristics that have been described, illustrated and claimed afterwards.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne une remplisseuse dans laquelle les produits de remplissage des capsules arrivent de manière étanche depuis l"intérieur du tube tournant et sont poussés par la force centrifuge dans une zone de prélèvement des dispositifs de dosage. La couche de produit à conditionner, présente une hauteur minimale dans la zone de prélèvement ce qui permet d"effectuer le conditionnement même avec des quantités infimes de produit. En fonctionnement, les dispositifs de dosage sont plongés en continu dans la couche périphérique de prélèvement et n"en sortent pas, même pendant la phase de sortie.
