    Abstract: A device for capacitively measuring a powder fill level in a filling apparatus for a rotary press where the fill apparatus comprises a filling pipe. The device comprises a first measuring electrode positioned on the filling pipe and a reference electrode. A first electrical capacitor is configured to be formed by the reference electrode and the first measuring electrode, wherein an electrical field is configured to be formed between the first measuring electrode and the reference electrode. The first measuring electrode is covered by an electrically conductive protective shielding on a side facing away from the filling pipe and the electrically conductive protective shielding is at a ground potential.

    Abstract: A system for continuous processing of powder products includes a first inlet configured to input a first dry powder product, a second inlet configured to input a second dry powder product, and a dry powder mixing device that mixes the first dry powder product together with the second dry powder product to form a product mixture. An outlet dispenses the product mixture from the dry powder mixing device. A production machine is included and has a powder feed frame comprising a feed frame inlet connected to the outlet of the dry powder mixing device. The outlet of the dry powder mixing device is positioned at a lower level than the feed frame inlet. A product conveying device is connected between the outlet of the dry powder mixing device and the feed frame inlet to continuously convey the product mixture from the dry powder mixing device to the feed frame inlet.

    Abstract: A method for tracking product in an installation in which powdered product is processed into manufactured items is provided. The method comprises introducing the powdered product into the installation through at least one inlet, obtaining measurement data for the powdered product from at least one mass sensor positioned in the at least one inlet, and dividing the measurement data into mass units of equal size. The progression of the mass units is then tracked through the installation using measurement data from at least one other mass sensor in the installation.

    Abstract: A system for continuously processing pulverulent products includes at least two system inlets for pulverulent products. A mixer is provided that continuously mixes the pulverulent products received at a mixer inlet into a product mixture that is dispensed at a mixer outlet. A production machine having a filling apparatus continuously processes the product mixture from the mixer outlet into end products dispensed at the machine outlet. A conveyor apparatus conveys the product mixture from the mixer outlet to the machine inlet. The conveyor apparatus includes a first fill level sensor that measures a product mixture fill level in the filling apparatus of the production machine and a second fill level measures a product mixture fill level in a conveyor reservoir. A control apparatus receives measurement data from the first fill level sensor and the second fill level sensor and controls at least one production parameter based on the measurement data.
