Method and apparatus for manufacturing a consumable unit for an inhalation device, and a consumable unit for an inhalation device

A method of providing a dose of aerosolisable material to a container of a consumable unit for use with an inhalation device, the method comprising:

• receiving aerosolisable material in a hopper, the hopper comprising an opening in a lower end of the hopper;
• and
• providing a dose of aerosolisable material to the container;
• wherein providing a dose of aerosolisable material to the container comprises moving a doser between a first position in which a dosing cavity of the doser is aligned with the opening such that aerosolisable material moves from the hopper into the dosing cavity, and a second position in which the dosing cavity is aligned with a container such that the aerosolisable material moves into the container;
• the apparatus further comprising a movable shelf configured to support one of the doser or the container, and wherein the movable shelf is movable in a vertical direction such that the doser or the container is movable relative to the other of the doser or the container.
