Abstract (en)

[origin: CA2876812A1] The invention relates to a metering device (1) for tablets (2), in particular for micro tablets, as well as to an associated metering method. The metering device includes a fixed device part (3) and a metering element which rotates in a plane of rotation (E) having several tablet receiving means (6). The plane of rotation (E) lies at an angle of inclination (.alpha.) of no more than 30° with respect to the weight force direction. The tablet receiving means (6) are open in at least one lateral direction with reference to the rotating plane (E). The fixed device part (3) includes a feeder surface (7) for the tablets (2) which, with reference to the weight force direction, is arranged in the bottom region of metering element and at the side next to metering element, wherein the feeder surface (7) borders on the metering element by way of a lead-in edge (8) at the level of the tablet receiving means (6).
