Abstract: Pairs of first and second rolls are supported for rotation in a roll frame located below a pan for receiving pharmaceutical products loaded as bulk material, each first roll having a plurality of axially successive non-cylindrical sections separated from respective non-cylindrical sections of a respective second roll by a gap, the first and second rolls of each pair being rotated in opposite directions so that surfaces of the rolls facing the gap move upwards. An isolating block having a matrix array of isolating channels is positioned below the rolls for receiving pharmaceutical products from respective gaps and for distributing these products to respective individual wells of a blister pack in a single machine cycle.

Abstract: A device for introducing a plurality of solid pharmaceutical products selected from the group consisting of tablets, two-part capsules, sugar-coated pills, gelatin capsules, and oblongs along a path into blister packs includes a distributing device having a roll frame, and at least one pair of first and second rolls mounted on the roll frame and rotatable in opposite directions, the first and second rolls having respective non-cylindrical sections facing one another and spaced apart so as to define a gap configured to provide a passage for each individual pharmaceutical product, wherein the first and second rolls rotate in opposite directions.
