  • Patent number: 10946997
    Abstract: A method for dosing a product in liquid form in containers includes transferring doses of product by a dosing unit from a feed tank, controlling through a bubble sensor the doses to the containers to detect the presence and volume of gas bubbles in each dose, delivering the doses inside the containers, measuring with a weight sensor a weight of the doses in the containers, and arranging a processing and control unit to receive and process a weight signal of the weight sensor and a bubbles signal from the bubble sensor. The processing and control unit is connected to the dosing unit to modify the pre-established quantity of product supplied for each dose as a function of the weight depending on whether the bubble sensor detects a volume of gas bubbles in the doses that is lower than a predefined reference value.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9796273
    Abstract: Feed system provided with feed means located inside a lyophilization chamber and able at least to supply electric energy to a slider, autonomously mobile at least inside the lyophilization chamber, and to the possible other internal components which need the energy present in or associated to the slider. The feed means are positioned along the travel of the slider and cooperate with energy receiver means associated to the slider, being static at least during the loading and unloading steps of at least a loading plane.
