Apparatus for filling viscous substances into hard gelatin capsules

摘要

An apparatus for filling viscous substances into hard gelatin capsules, while heating and stirring the viscous substances to be filled. The apparatus is entirely simplified in construction, reliable in operation and inexpensive. The apparatus includes a hopper, a pumping mechanism and a capsule body loading board being operatively connected with respect to each other. A reciprocating feed mechanism transfers the capsule body loading board from a preliminary operating station to a filling station. An intermittent rotary mechanism sequentially aligns accommodating holes in the capsule body loading board with a filling nozzle for dispensing the viscous substance into the gelatin capsules.
