Abstract
The device for examining moving tablets comprises a sensor element designed as a hollow body having a closed surrounding jacket of a conductive material, an open entrance side at a top and an open exit side at a bottom. The sensor element defines in its interior space a continuous path for the tablets extending from the entrance side to the exit side, and the jacket of the sensor element is grounded via a resistor. The device also comprises at least one pickup element of conductive material arranged near the outside surface of the jacket of the sensor element, the pickup element being galvanically isolated from the outside surface of the jacket of the sensor element.
Claims15
A device for examining moving tablets, comprising:
- a sensor element designed as a hollow body having a closed surrounding jacket of a conductive material, an open entrance side at a top of the hollow body and an open exit side at a bottom of the hollow body, wherein the sensor element defines in an interior space thereof a continuous path for the tablets, the continuous path extending from the entrance side to the exit side, and wherein the jacket is grounded via a resistor;
- and
- at least one pickup element of conductive material arranged near an outside surface of the jacket of the sensor element, the pickup element being galvanically isolated from the outside surface of the jacket of the sensor element.
A tablet packaging unit comprising:
- at least one filling tube;
- and
- at least one device for examining moving tablets integrated into the at least one filling tube;
- wherein the at least one device for examining moving tablets comprises:
- a sensor element designed as a hollow body having a closed surrounding jacket of a conductive material, an open entrance side at a top of the hollow body and an open exit side at a bottom of the hollow body, wherein the sensor element defines in an interior space thereof a continuous path for the tablets, the continuous path extending from the entrance side to the exit side, and wherein the jacket is grounded via a resistor;
- and
- at least one pickup element of conductive material arranged near an outside surface of the jacket of the sensor element, the pickup element being galvanically isolated from the outside surface of the jacket of the sensor element.
