Abstract: A filling apparatus for a rotary press that is rotationally driven by a rotary drive includes a housing fixedly positioned above the die plate and defining a first chamber. A first wheel is positioned in the first chamber and configured to be driven by the rotary drive to fill the plurality of cavities with powder material located in the first chamber. A gearbox is positioned in a gearbox housing and coupled to the rotary drive and configured to transmit a rotational movement of the rotary drive to the first wheel. A gearbox coupling is positioned on the gearbox housing and an intermediate bearing is positioned on the housing and configured for detachably mounting the gearbox housing. The intermediate bearing comprises a bearing coupling corresponding to the gearbox coupling and configured to enable the gearbox housing to be releasably connected to the bearing coupling via the gearbox coupling.

Abstract: A rotary tablet press, comprising a lubrication device configured to lubricate at least one of the upper and the lower pressing punches with a lubricant. The lubrication device includes a lubricant reservoir configured to hold a lubricant and a stationary applicator connected to the lubricant reservoir and configured to apply the lubricant to at least one of the upper pressing punches and the lower pressing punches rotating past the stationary applicator. A control apparatus is configured to individually control an amount of lubricant applied by the stationary applicator to the at least one of the upper pressing punches and the lower pressing punches for different upper or lower pressing punches.
