Abstract: The invention relates to a vertical turbine pump having a riser pipe extending along an axis, a motor shaft arranged in the riser pipe, an elbow housing with an elbow arranged therein and connected on a pressure side to the riser pipe, a lantern housing arranged on the elbow housing and accommodating the motor shaft, and a motor arranged on the lantern housing and driving the motor shaft, wherein the elbow housing and/or the lantern housing is formed mould-free and has a rectangular cross section.

Abstract: A bearing arrangement for guiding a motor shaft for supporting axial and/or radial forces of a vertical turbine pump. The bearing arrangement includes a bearing comprising an inner ring which can be non-rotatably connected to the motor shaft and an outer ring, an oil sump filled with an oil, within which the bearing is arranged at least partially immersed in the oil, and an inner oil deflector which is non-rotatably connected to the inner ring and deflects oil conveyed between the inner ring and the outer ring back into the oil sump as a result of rotation of the bearing.

Abstract: A tamping device for capsule filling machines is disclosed. The device includes a dosing disc having at least one dosing chamber adapted to be filled with a material which is to be filled in a capsule. The device includes at least one piston adapted to be moved within the at least one dosing chamber to perform the tamping operation on the material. The device includes at least one slider disposed below the dosing disc and adapted to abut the dosing disc. The at least one slider is adapted to support the material within the at least one dosing chamber to perform the tamping operation. The device includes a support pad movably disposed beneath the at least one slider and adapted to be moved towards the at least one slider.
