  • Head and a process for filling containers with powder material
    Patent number: 7048018
    Abstract: A filler head (1) carried by the carousel of a rotary powder filling machine comprises a dispensing element (3) by which a predetermined quantity of powder material is directed into a container (2) positioned on a platform assembly (7, 5) carried by a hollow frame (13); the dispensing element (3) is interlocked to a dynamometer (15) housed in the cavity (14) of the frame (13) and controllable thus during the step of filling the container (2). The platform support (5) is associated with a first actuator (18) mounted at the bottom of the frame (13) and designed to separate the selfsame support (5) from the dynamometer (15), also with a second actuator (21) by which the container (2) is caused to shake in a direction (B) that causes the powder material to settle in the container (2) during the filling operation.
