Abstract: On a continuous machine for filling the bottom shells of capsules with a powdered product, the bottom shells are conveyed so as to be equally spaced along a given path with a first spacing; the machine having a number of metering wheels rotating about respective parallel axes, and each having a respective number of metering devices moving with the relative metering wheel along a relative portion of the path, each in time with a relative bottom shell; and the metering devices being equally spaced about the relative axis with a second spacing substantially equal to the product of the number of metering wheels and the first spacing.
Abstract: A continuous machine for filling the bottom shells of capsules with at least one product has a conveyor for feeding the bottom shells along a given path; and at least one metering wheel having a number of metering devices, each for supplying a relative bottom shell with a given quantity of product withdrawn from a container, which is mounted eccentrically with respect to the metering wheel and is supplied by means of at least one conduit extending downwards inside a space enclosing the container and the metering wheel.
