A drum-type dosing apparatus is for producing individual dosing quantities of a pulverulent product. The drum-type dosing apparatus includes a product store which is arranged in a filling position, a dosing drum and also a rotary drive for the dosing drum. The dosing drum has circumferentially distributed dosing openings. At least two dosing openings spaced apart from one another in a circumferential direction of the dosing drum are combined to form a joint dosing portion. The rotary drive is configured for stepwise rotation of the dosing drum about an axis of rotation such that an individual dosing portion with the associated dosing openings ends up located, over the course of a cycle, at least in the filling position and in a discharging position.

At least one example embodiment relates to an apparatus. In at least one example embodiment, the apparatus includes a shaft and a housing. The shaft is configured to rotate. The shaft defines a pocket. The housing includes a sidewall. The sidewall at least partially defines an interior region. At least a portion of the shaft is in the interior region. The sidewall defines a first opening to the interior region.

A dosing apparatus for dosing powdered substances for producing single-dose capsules, having at least one compartment in which at least one powdered substance is present, including a forming unit having one or more molds movable in an advancement direction, and a dosing unit including at least one dosing plate having one or more chambers, in each of which a quantity of at least one of the powdered substances can be inserted, to be subsequently transferred from at least one of the chambers to a respective mold.

A doser assembly includes a hopper assembly configured to receive filler material, a vibration transmission assembly coupled to the hopper assembly, and a paddle in a hopper opening that extends through the hopper assembly. The vibration transmission assembly includes a shaft that is configured to rotate around a central rotation axis, an eccentric that is fixed to the shaft and has a center that is radially offset from the central rotation axis, a connecting rod that is pivotably connected to the center of the eccentric, and a bracket that is pivotably connected to the connecting rod. A first end of the paddle is pivotably coupled to the hopper assembly at a paddle pivot joint. The paddle is fixed to the bracket of the vibration transmission assembly separately from the hopper assembly. The vibration transmission assembly is configured to cause the paddle to reciprocatingly pivot around the paddle pivot joint.
