Apparatus for the production of ampoules
In the apparatus for the production of ampoules (10), the ampoules (10) are guided continuously into the pressure chamber (1) which has a chamber for sealingly closing the ampoules. A sealing chamber (2 and 3) is arranged in each case on the ampoule inlet side (1A) and on the ampoule outlet side (1B) of the pressure chasmber (1). The sealing chambers (2, 3) perform their sealing function by means of partition walls (21A), of the slides (20) for carrying, conveying and discharging the ampoules (10) and of the inner wall of a casing (2C) of the sealing chamber (2). The sealing closure of the ampoules (10) can take place while the internal pressure of the pressure chamber (1) is maintained at a predetermined value. Consequently, no glass fragments can penetrate into the ampoules (10) when the ampoules (10) are being opened. <IMAGE>
