Abstract
The invention relates to a device for filling with high accuracy a finely divided powdered medicament having a particle size smaller than 10 μm into cavities having a size corresponding to the volume of powder to be filled, wherein said device comprises oscillating and rotating means for breaking down aggregates formed in the finely divided powdered medicament and filling and for compacting it in said cavities. The invention also includes a method of filling with high accuracy of a finely divided powdered medicament having a particle size smaller than 10 μm and to fill said finely divided powdered medicament into cavities, wherein the finely divided powdered medicament is transported and compacted in said cavities by oscillating and rotating means.
Claims14
A process for making capsules from films of polymeric material, said process comprising the steps of deforming said films for forming a multiplicity of recesses, filling said recesses with a flowable filling material, welding said films at a welding location for forming a multiplicity of enclosures containing said filling material, and cutting the filled enclosures from the remaining parts of said films for forming a multiplicity of capsules, wherein the welding process is dielectric welding performed between two opposed electrodes, and said process uses two films comprising a water-soluble polymeric material.
