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.

A filling unit (10) for a rotary press (12) includes a filling wheel (14), a metering wheel (24), a feeding wheel (30) and a medium unit (36). The filling unit (10) is designed in such a way that the feeding wheel (30) can be connected to and disconnected from a delivery path of the medium to be metered, in particular by having a pivoting device (33) perform a pivoting movement, in particular about an axis of rotation (42) of the metering wheel (24), which is in the form of an impeller (20, 26, 32).

The invention relates to a method for powder pressing at least two pressed parts, in particular ceramic powder pressed parts and/or metal powder pressed parts, wherein a first powder (17) for pressing a first pressed part is filled into a first cavity (13) of a die (12) with a first filling level and a second powder (18) for pressing a second pressed part is filled into a second cavity (14) of the die (12) with a second filling level, wherein the first and second filling levels are individually adjusted. Preferably, the first powder is filled via a first filling shoe and the second powder is filled via a second filling shoe, wherein the two filling shoes, at least temporarily, are not moved simultaneously. A powder pressing device is also claimed which is suitable for implementing the aforementioned method.

The invention discloses a fully automatic press, and relates to the technical field of powder metallurgy. The fully automatic press comprises a frame, a powder weighing device, a powder conveying device, a powder feeding device and a forming device. The invention solves the problems of low powder weighing efficiency, unsatisfying release agent spraying effect and collisions of a powder conveying device of presses in the prior art.

A filling unit (10) for a rotary press (12) with a filling wheel (14), a dosing wheel (24), optionally a feed wheel (30) and a medium feed unit (36), wherein the blades (22, 28, 34) of the filling wheel (14), dosing wheel (24) and/or feed wheel (30) designed as an impeller wheel (20, 26, 32), are designed in such a way that a conveying surface (40) of the respective blades (22, 28, 34) can be varied in shape, and a method for providing an optimized rotary press is proposed.

A powder feeding device configured to fill a saggar with powder by compressing the powder thereinto may include: a pressing plate configured to compress the powder in the saggar; and a pressing mechanism configured to press the pressing plate toward the powder in the saggar. The pressing plate may include a compression plate including a pressing surface that compresses the powder by contacting the powder; and a plurality of slit plates disposed on the pressing surface and extending downward from the pressing surface. The slit plates may be arranged radially as the powder feeding device with the saggar placed therein is viewed from above. When the saggar is placed in the powder feeding device, distances between the slit plates and a sidewall of the saggar may be substantially equal and the distances between the slit plates and the sidewall of the saggar may be 30 mm or less.
