DEVICE AND METHOD OF SUPPLYING PORTIONS OF INHOMOGENEOUS MATERIAL INTENDED FOR INFUSION IN PACKAGING UNIT Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC B65B1/36 G01F11/24 

FIELD: packaging industry.

SUBSTANCE: device for supplying portions of the inhomogeneous material intended for infusion into the packaging unit comprises the dosing means for portions and the transfer means for the portions that are located downstream of the dosing means and providing the supply of the portion into the packaging unit. The transfer means comprise the adjustment means for a portion, which are provided with a drum made with the ability to rotate about its axis (A). The drum is located downstream from the receiving part of the transfer means, and adjustment means comprise at least one roller part, made with the ability of rotation about its axis (B) located upstream of the drum and having at least one recess for receiving a portion from the receiving part. The drum has at least one opening, in which the piston is located with the ability of motion, which has an upper surface. The opening and the upper surface of the piston limit the chamber which volume can vary between the maximum value when the piston is in a first inoperative position, and the minimum value when the piston is in the second operative position for precise positioning, adjustment and adaptation of portions in the specified variable volume without strong squeezing of the said portions. In the first inoperative position the distance between the upper surface and the outer cylindrical surface of the drum is maximum, and the chamber takes a portion, and in the second operative position this distance is minimum and the portion is released from the chamber into the packaging unit. Also the method of supplying portions of inhomogeneous material intended for infusion into the packaging unit is proposed.

EFFECT: use of this group of inventions provides maximum integrity of the material for infusion.
