Patent application number | Description | Published |
20080230145 | Sensing Apparatus - The invention relates to a powder dispensing device for dispensing powder into hard gelatin capsules or the like. The powder dispensing device comprises at least one plunger for compacting the powder to a powder compact and/or at least one transfer plunger which transfers the previously produced powder compact into a capsule part ready to be filled. The device includes a sensing apparatus including fiber-optical cables and a lens for introducing and receiving radiation passed through the powder or the powder compact. The sensing apparatus is connected to either the compacting plunger or the transfer plunger, or both. | 09-25-2008 |
20090044490 | DEVICE FOR EVENLY FILLING OR EMPTYING DOSING CHAMBERS - Disclosed is a device for evenly filling or emptying at least one dosing chamber with a product. The device includes a dosing chamber disposed in a dosing disk, the product being dispensed into or emptied from the dosing chamber. A pressure generator impinges the dosing chamber with a predetermined pressure in order fill or empty the dosing chamber. A filter is disposed movably relative to the dosing chamber to assures that once the product has been dispensed, the product can be brought downward into the container to be filled. The filling of the container can be reinforcing by blown air or by transfer dies. The dosing chamber communicates, via the filter means, with the pressure generator. By application of an underpressure, the product to be dosed is dispensed into the dosing chamber. For cleaning the filter means, on the other hand, an overpressure pulse is applied, which improves product dispensing precision. | 02-19-2009 |
20090232922 | DEVICE FOR FILLING AT LEAST ONE DOSING CHAMBER - A device for filling at least one dosing chamber is provided, with at least one dosing chamber arranged in a dosing disc into which a filling material is to be introduced. At least one ram acts on the material located in the dosing chamber. The at least one ram is arranged on a support, and at least two columns are connected to the support. A drive mechanism is provided which, via a coupling mechanism, moves at least the two columns up and down in synch. | 09-17-2009 |
20100157721 | APPARATUS FOR HOMOGENIZING POWDER - The present invention relates to an apparatus for homogenizing powder, which includes a drive device and a homogenization unit. The drive device moves the homogenization unit back and forth in at least one horizontal direction. The homogenization unit has a multitude of essentially vertically arranged, rod-shaped elements which are immersed at least partly into a powder to be homogenized. | 06-24-2010 |
20100164144 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR EJECTING AT LEAST ONE CAPSULE - A device and a method for ejecting at least one capsule are proposed, comprising at least two ejecting means ( | 07-01-2010 |
20100200112 | DEVICE FOR METERING A POWDERED PRODUCT - A device for metering of powdery filling material is proposed, with a filling material container, on the bottom of which at least one metering opening is arranged, with at least one transfer plunger which can be introduced by a movement system into the metering opening in order to transfer the filling material located in the metering opening into a receptacle. In addition to the movement system, a drive unit is provided for applying a force to the transfer plunger in order to assist the transfer of the filling material into the receptacle. | 08-12-2010 |
20120207272 | SENSOR DEVICE FOR A PACKAGING MACHINE DESIGNED AS A CAPSULE FILLING AND SEALING MACHINE OR FOR A CAPSULE CONTROL DEVICE - The invention relates to a sensor device ( | 08-16-2012 |
20140209642 | UNIT FOR STORING A FLUID, AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING A UNIT FOR STORING A FLUID - A unit for storing a fluid includes a body, a piston, and a closure. The body has a through-channel in which the fluid is arranged. The body is impermeable to the fluid and/or constituents thereof and is configured to connect in a fluid-tight manner to a receiving device of a biochemical analysis unit. The through-channel extends from a first end to a second end. The piston is mounted to be axially movable in the through-channel and is configured to provide a fluid-tight seal relative to the body. The piston is impermeable to the fluid and/or constituents thereof and is accessible from the first end. The closure is arranged on the second end and is impermeable to the fluid and constituents thereof. The closure is connected to the body in a fluid-tight manner and is configured to burst when a pressure in the fluid exceeds a bursting pressure. | 07-31-2014 |
