Abstract: A measuring device for a capsule filler machine for pharmaceutical capsules comprising at least one block, provided with a plurality of seats, suitable to house a plurality of bottoms of capsules to be filled is provided. The block is provided with capacitive electronic devices, which are suited to detect parameters concerning the tare of each bottom, parameters concerning the quantities and the types of the products inserted into each bottom, and parameters concerning the filling/emptying of the seats, so as to control, in particular, the filling steps carried out to fill the capsule bottoms with the products.

Abstract: Apparatus for dosing powdery or granulated materials in capsules, or the like. The apparatus comprises an engine associated with a transducer controlling chuting means. The engine imparts to the chuting means movements which are proportional to an electric signal controlled by an electronic control unit. The movements of the chuting means, together with the regulation of the spatial position assumed by the chuting means, are such to accurately dose the powdery or granulated material in the bases of the capsules.

Abstract: The bottom shell of a capsule is filled with at least two products, contained in respective tanks, by means of a metering device, which has a metering chamber for receiving a given quantity of product from each tank; and a transfer chamber, which receives and transfers the product from the metering chamber to the bottom shell, and has a weighing device for weighing the product inside the transfer chamber.

Abstract: An apparatus for weighing liquid in a bottle, in particular a pharmaceutical bottle. The apparatus has at least one measuring cell, and a conveying device for feeding a number of bottles through the measuring cell along a path. The apparatus is characterized in that the measuring cell has an actual measuring section preceded and followed, respectively, by a first guard section and a second guard section, which reduce the effect of adjacent bottles on the measurement.

Abstract: A machine (1000) for filling capsules (CS) or similar. The machine (1000) has a number of seat assemblies (10), each of which incorporates a capacitive transducer (14) and possibly other devices, such as an energy storage device (17) and a microprocessor (15), in addition to devices for external connection for power supply and/or communication.
