  • Patent number: 9902512
    Abstract: Refinements made to distributor units which serve to continuously transfer and position tablets or pills in organized alveoli in an advancing strip, the advancing strip presenting its alveoli on each occasion in correspondence with holes positioned radially in a distributor disk. The distributor disk having holes is associated with a motor which supplies a rotation motion by an intermediate connector. The intermediate connector is connected stably to the distributor disk and detachably, by an intermediate member, to the motor which supplies the rotation motion.

  • Patent number: 7140162
    Abstract: A unit for feeding products (3) to a blistering machine (M) includes a delivery group (2, 2a, S) for selectively distributing products (3) to a station (SR), where the products (3) are introduced into respective blisters (40) of a blister band (4), moving in a forward direction (W) inside the blistering machine (M). The filling station (SR) is defined by a conveyor (10) consisting of a belt (11) provided with seas (110). Each seat (110) receives a relative product (3) distributed by the delivery group (2, 2a, S) and releases the products (3) into a respective blister (4).

  • Patent number: 6648575
    Abstract: A device (100) for feeding articles (2) to a blister band (3) moving below and having at least one row of blisters (3a) made therein for receiving corresponding articles (2). The row of blisters is parallel to the blister band forward direction (W). The device (100) has a grid (G) situated over the blister band (3), with at least one longitudinal channel (9), facing the longitudinal row of blisters (3a). A station (101) is provided for feeding the articles (2) to the grid (G), while oscillating means (10,20) generate a relative oscillating motion between the grid (G) and the corresponding blister band (3), to facilitate stabile introduction of the articles (2) into the corresponding blisters (3a) present along said longitudinal channel (9).

  • Patent number: 6598370
    Abstract: In a device for recovering exceeding articles from a blister band on a blistering machine, the blister band is moved in a forward movement direction through a station for feeding the articles to the blisters. A displacing device is situated very close to the blister band for removing exceeding articles while a conveying device recovers the exceeding articles removed from the blister band by the use of a rotating drum. The rotating drum is hollow and has a plurality of radial separating plates defining a number of niches. The niches receive the exceeding articles removed from the blister band and a transport conveyor receives the exceeding articles present in the niches and brings the articles to the feeding station.
