Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2022136581A1] The invention relates to a closing device for closing pharmaceutical containers (12) by means of closure elements (34). The closure elements (34) comprise a first face (52) and a second face (54), wherein the first face (52) faces the container interior (56) and the second face (54) faces away from the container interior (56) when the container (12) is closed by means of the closure element (34). The closing device (32; 42; 176; 182) comprises a feed unit (45) with a feed path (48) in which closure elements (34) can be fed individually and at least partly, preferably completely, without contacting the first face (52); a receiving body (76) with a receiving area (90) for the closure element (34), said closure element (34) being convertible from the feed path (48) into a receiving position in the receiving area (90); and a turning device (74) for turning the receiving body (76) from a starting position into an end position and converting the closure element (34) from the receiving position into a setting position in which the closure element (34) is positioned on the container (12) or at a distance to the container (12) such that the first face (52) points in the direction of the container interior (56). The invention additionally relates to a system for processing pharmaceutical containers.
