A weight filling machine suitable for filling containers with two or more products of different types is provided. In particular, a weight filling machine comprising a filling unit and a supply unit for one or more products of different final composition for the filling of containers, where said one or more products comprise the same base composition for all the products and one or more additives, which are different for each different final composition, characterized in that the supply unit comprises a tank for the base composition and a plurality of mixing units, one for each different product, each of the mixing units being connected by means of respective supply lines to the filling unit is provided.

A drug packaging unit is disclosed. The drug packaging unit includes a storage portion separately discharging a plurality of units of a drug, a supply portion supplying the drug to a drug packaging member, a detection portion detecting a drug supply error by detecting the drug passing through the supply portion, an adjustment portion adjusting the number of units of drug discharged out of the supply portion, and a driver/controller individually driving the storage portion and the supply portion, thereby putting the drug on standby to be discharged. With this structure, it is possible to reduce a drug packaging time and it is easy to control drug supply.

The present invention regards a method for filling containers with a single-dose composition comprising or, alternatively, consisting of mannitol in powder form. Such process comprises the following steps: a) breaking up a coherent mass of powder mannitol, so as to obtain a broken-up mass from said coherent mass; c) filling a plurality of containers with the broken-up mass of step a), wherein a bulk density of the coherent mass is smaller than a bulk density of the broken-up mass.
