Abstract:
Provided is a dual dosage form capsule, methods for producing and systems for making the same, which can provide dual release of the two dosages. The dual dosage form capsule has a first capsule member containing a first fill material and a second capsule member containing a second fill material. A band couples the first capsule member to the second capsule member and forms a third chamber defined by an inner surface of the band and each cap of the capsule members. An aperture allows fluid into the third chamber causing the band to at least partially dissolve so that the caps of the capsule members are exposed. The caps of the capsule members can dissolve at the same or different rates to control the timing of the release of the first and second fill materials and hence an active ingredient included within the fill material.

Claim (Index 26):
A capsule member forming machine comprising:\n a plate rotatable about an axis of rotation, wherein the plate defines a plurality of voids for receiving a shell body that are positioned to define a plurality of stations; a first distribution device operatively positioned at a first of the plurality of stations, wherein the first distribution device distributes shell bodies to the plurality of voids in the plate; a second distribution device operatively positioned at a second of the plurality of stations, wherein the second distribution device distributes fill material to the shell bodies to form filled shell bodies; a third distribution device operatively positioned at a third of the plurality of stations, wherein the third distribution device distributes caps, bands, or first or second band portions onto the filled shell bodies; a sealing device at a fourth of the plurality of stations, a cooling device at a fifth of the plurality of stations, and a discharge device at a sixth of the plurality of stations that discharges from the plate a plurality of capsule members for assembly into dual dosage capsules.
