SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PACKAGING DOSED QUANTITIES OF SOLID DRUG PORTIONS

摘要

A system for packaging dosed quantities of solid drug portions comprises a plurality of dosing stations (2) for dispensing a dosed quantity of solid drug portions, a plurality of guiding ducts (7), a plurality of collecting containers (17) for receiving drug portions guided through the guiding ducts (7), and at least one discharge and packaging station (3) for transferring drug portions collected by each collecting container (17) to a packaging and for closing the packaging. The guiding ducts (7) are coupled to a transport means (6a, 6b, 8, 10, 11, 12, 15, 16) for moving the guiding ducts (7) along the dosing stations (2), wherein each guiding duct (7) is adapted to receive drug portions dispensed from at least one of the dosing stations (2) when the guiding duct (7) is positioned at the at least one dosing station (2), and to guide the received drug portions to an passage opening of the guiding duct (7). The collecting containers (17) are also coupled to the transport means (6a, 6b, 8, 10, 11, 12, 15, 16) so that each collecting container (17) can be positioned at the passage opening of one of the guiding ducts (7) to receive drug portions guided through the guiding duct (7).
