A filling apparatus for filling cavities of a rotary press includes a filling chamber defining an inlet opening through which filling material enters the filling chamber and an outlet opening through which filling material exits into the cavities of the rotary press. A conveyor wheel is positioned in the filling chamber and defines a plurality of conveyor pockets structured to receive the filing material. The conveyor wheel is rotatable relative to the filling chamber about an axis of rotation arranged at an angle (α) to a vertical axis. The plurality of conveyor pockets are arranged along a circular path and are rotated along the inlet opening and along the outlet opening when the conveyor wheel is rotated about the axis of rotation. The filling material received in each of the plurality of the plurality of conveyor pockets is conveyed from the inlet opening to the outlet opening.

In a first aspect, the invention relates to an apparatus for supporting a component of a tableting machine, the apparatus comprising as components an upper part, an intermediate element and a lower part. In further aspects, the invention relates to a tableting machine comprising a described apparatus and a method or use of the apparatus for adjusting a position of a component of a tableting machine. By means of the proposed apparatus, in particular the feeder support of a tableting machine and thus preferably the position of the filling device above the die table can be easily, quickly and reproducibly adjusted, preferably during machine set-up, but also during operation of the rotary tableting machine, in such a way that material loss is minimized.

The invention relates to a punch for a tableting machine. The punch preferably has a measuring device that can function in an energy self-sufficient manner independently of the power supply to the tableting machine. Furthermore, the invention relates to a tableting machine comprising the above-mentioned punch and a method for monitoring a tableting machine with the punch according to the invention during operation.

A powdery-material mixing and feeding system is configured to feed a machine configured to execute a post process with mixed-powdery materials obtained by mixing a first powdery material and a second powdery material discharged from powdery-material feeding devices at a required ratio, wherein when a flow rate of the first powdery material discharged from the first powdery-material feeding device departs from a target value by a predetermined amount or more, a controller increases or decreases the flow rate of the second powdery material discharged from the second powdery-material feeding device such that the ratio of the first powdery material to the second powdery material contained in the mixed-powdery materials is kept within a desired range.

A rotor for a rotary press comprises a die plate, upper punch seats, and lower punch seats configured to be rotationally driven by a rotary drive. An annular discharge channel is configured to be in a fixed position with respect to the die plate and further configured to collect product residue from at least one of the die plate and the lower punch seat. The discharge channel additionally comprises a removal region where the product residue is configured to be removed from the annular discharge channel A catch element is configured to rotate in sync with the die plate and is guided within the annular discharge channel to convey the product residue collected in the annular discharge channel to the removal region.
