A lining drum which has a tubular body having open ends, an inlet for compressed air and an outlet for liner is disclosed. The lining drum has end pieces removably attached to the tubular body for closing the open ends of the tubular body, a rotatable shaft inside the tubular body and a crank for rotating the shaft. An elastic fastener has a first end in operative engagement with the tubular body and a second end in operative engagement with the end piece. The second end is opposite the first end. The end piece is movable between a closed position and an open position by extending the elastic fastener against an elastic biasing force of the elastic fastener. The end piece and the tubular body has a gap defined therebetween when the end piece is in the open position.

A track system includes a primary transport portion and a secondary transport portion along which a plurality of vehicles can be propelled. Each secondary transport portion includes a unit operation station for performing a transformation on a container or the contents therein.

The present invention provides, in various embodiments, a rotary-type machine (M) for continuously sealing individual foil bags (B) by way of ultrasonic welding between an anvil (6) and a sonotrode (5) in at least one welding station (S) of a carousel (1), where each foil bag (B) can be positioned by way of holders (11). In some embodiments, the rotary-type machine (M) comprises at least one welding station (S) composed of a sonotrode (5) being located stationary at least relative to the direction of circulation (8) and anvils (6) which with intermediate spacings (7) rotate past said sonotrode (5) successively in the direction of circulation (8) of the carousel (1). According to the invention, the foil bags (B) are sealed at the stationary sonotrode (5) when the anvils (6) equipped with the foil bags (B) are rotated past.

A drug product comprises a dry powder inhalation device having a pharmaceutical composition present therein, said pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound which is (6,11,16,17)-6,9-difluoro-17-{[(fluoromethyl)thio]carbonyl}-11-hydroxy-16-methyl-3-oxoandrosta-1,4-dien-17-yl 2-furancarboxylate or a solvate thereof; a hygroscopic material, and a package which encompasses the dry powder inhalation device and the hygroscopic material defining an enclosed volume therein, wherein the enclosed volume exhibits a Relative Humidity of from 20% to 40%.

An insulating device can include an aperture having a waterproof closure which allows access to the chamber within the insulating device. The closure can help prevent any fluid leakage into and out of the insulating device if the insulating device is overturned or in any configuration other than upright. The closure also prevents any fluid from permeating into the chamber if the insulating device is exposed to precipitation, other fluid, or submersed under water. This construction results in an insulating chamber impervious to water and other liquids when the closure is sealed.

A method that protects helium balloons, which are shipped via shipping routes that expose the balloons to elevated temperatures that cause the balloons to lose helium gas at increased rates, from such effects includes providing a shipping box; lining the shipping box with a metalized sheet that provides insulation against heat conduction; placing at least one balloon in the lined shipping box; surrounding the at least one balloon with the metalized sheet from all sides thereof; closing the box; and shipping the box to a customer, whereby the balloons are rendered less susceptible to the elevated temperatures or reduced ambient pressures while travelling over the shipping routes.

A container for the preparation of a beverage and a machine for the filling of containers for the preparation of the beverage. The container includes an outer cup, an inner cup nesting inside the outer cup, and a filter disposed between a sidewall of the outer cup and a sidewall of the inner cup and covering a bottom opening of the inner cup. The machine includes a first zone configured to dispense a container from a stack of containers, a second zone configured to fill the container with a beverage substrate, a third zone configured to seal the container and dispense a filled container, and a carriage configured to transport the container between the first and second zones, and between the second and third zones.

The present disclosure relates to a method for producing a container for washing and/or cleaning agents from a water-soluble material and to a container that is obtained in accordance with the method as contemplated herein.
