Abstract: A method for sterilizing closure elements (3) for packaging containers (1), wherein the closure elements (3) are collected individually by a holding mechanism (25) in the region of a sterile chamber (12) and are placed onto an opening (4) of a filled packaging container (1) and connected to the latter, and wherein the closure elements (3), while being conveyed inside the sterile chamber (12), are treated by means of at least one sterilizing medium (6, 7, 52) during a sterilizing process.

Abstract: A pressure relief valve (1) comprises a main body (2), at least one through opening (51), which extends through the main body (2), a diaphragm (6), which is arranged over the at least one through opening (51), and a fluid (8), which is provided on the main body (2), the fluid (8) being arranged between the diaphragm (6) and the main body (2), the main body (2) having a first sealing region (21), a second sealing region (22) radially outside the first region, and a third sealing region (23) radially outside the second region, the regions being respectively formed as continuously closed, the at least one through opening (51) being arranged between the first sealing region (21) and the second sealing region (22), and the diaphragm (6) covering the first sealing region (21), the second sealing region (22) and the third sealing region (23).

Abstract: A device (10) for dosing a powder, in particular a pulverulent pharmaceutical, having a storage container (24) which has a storage chamber for storing a stored quantity of the powder to be dosed, wherein the storage container has a dosing opening (32), wherein the device has a dosing control element which can be movably driven and which, in a closing position, closes the dosing opening and, in at least one freeing position, frees the dosing opening for the dispensing of powder from the storage container into a target container to be filled, wherein the device has a vibration means which sets the powder in vibration in order to assist with the dispensing of powder, wherein the storage container has two container parts which are movable relative to one another and which delimit mutually connected sub-chambers of the storage chamber and each store a portion of the stored quantity of powder, wherein a first container part (28) has the dosing opening and wherein the vibration means cooperates with the first contai

Abstract: The invention relates to a device (50; 50a to 50c) for determining the weight of a capsule (10) arranged in a receptacle (26) of a capsule holder (25) of an incrementally rotated conveyor wheel (21), comprising a transfer device (52; 52a to 52c) for transferring at least one capsule (10) from the capsule holder (25) into a capsule receiver (55) having a plurality of receptacles (54) for respectively one capsule (10), and back again, wherein the capsule receptacle (55) has a movable arrangement in a plane parallel to the conveyor plane of the conveyor wheel (21).

Abstract: Pressure relief valve of a packaging container, comprising: a main body (2) with an edge region (3) and with a sealing face (4), wherein the edge region (3) is connectable in sealing fashion to a wall (10) of a packaging container (100) and wherein at least one passage opening (51) is formed in the sealing face (4), said passage opening extending through the main body (2), a first diaphragm (6) that is arranged over the passage opening (51) and at least partly covers the sealing face (4), a second diaphragm (7) that at least partly covers the first diaphragm (6), and a fluid (8) that is applied to the sealing face (4) and by means of which fluid the first diaphragm (6) is held on the sealing face (4) in floating fashion.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for filling a product, comprising—at least one metering device (18) for metering a specific amount of the product that is to be filled in the packaging material tube, —a sensor device (20) for detecting characteristic properties, in particular a mass and/or density and/or volume of the product, wherein the sensor device (20) is arranged such that it determines the characteristic properties of the product located in the metering device (18).

Abstract: The invention relates to a filling needle (10; 10a-10g) for dispensing a pharmaceutical liquid (1) into a container (2), comprising a preferably rod-shaped filling needle body (12; 12a; 12b; 12d; 12f; 12g) in which a product feed bore (13) is formed, having at least one, preferably a plurality of product outlet bores (16; 16a to 16d) which extends from the product feed bore (13) and opens on an outer wall of the filling needle body (12; 12a; 12b; 12d; 12f; 12g) into a region which is spaced apart from a filling needle body end (25; 25b; 25c) with respect to a longitudinal axis (18) of the filling needle body (12; 12a; 12b; 12d; 12f; 12g), and having a valve element (14; 14b; 14c; 14d; 14e; 14g) which is made of an elastic material which covers the filling needle body (12; 12a; 12b; 12d; 12f; 12g) at least in the region of the at least one product outlet bore (16; 16a to 16d).
