Method and device for individual filling of blister packages

摘要

The method involves circulating shuttles (18) around an annular track (17) through a set of filling machines (1) having feeders (9) that receive small objects (4) e.g. capsules, that are advanced to respective picking location and pickers. A memory of the shuttles is programmed with data regarding intended contents of pockets of respective blister pack. The memory is read when the shuttles pass through respective filling machines. The respective pickers are operated to move the small objects from feeders to the pockets in accordance with the data for the respective blister pack. An independent claim is also included for a system for filling blister packs.
