Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2022136525A2] The invention relates to a device for filling pharmaceutical containers (12) of different types, comprising in particular syringes, vials, and/or carpules. The device (10; 152; 158; 166) comprises a filling device (14) comprising a transport device (58), in particular a linear transport device, which preferably comprises circulating holding elements (62) for the containers (12), said holding element being movable along a transport direction (60) from a coupling side to a decoupling side of the transport device (58), and comprising at least one processing station (68) for the containers (12), said processing station comprising a filling station (88) which is arranged on the transport device (58) for filling the containers (12) with a pharmaceutical substance; a coupling element (84) for transferring the containers (12) to the transport device (58); a decoupling element (106) for receiving the containers (12) from the transport device (58); a first feed unit (16) for providing containers (12) to be filled of a first type and a second feed unit (18) for feeding containers (12) to be filled of a second type; and an interface element (28) which is arranged or can be arranged at at least one interface position (32), preferably precisely one interface position (32), on the feed side with respect to the transport device (58) and via which, selectively, the containers (12) of the first type can be fed directly or indirectly to the transport device (58) from the first feed unit (16) or the containers (12) of the second type can be fed directly or indirectly to the transport device from the second feed unit (18).
