A system and method for manufacturing erosion control filter socks consists of a mass of filtering material, a material supply assembly, an assembly section, and a packaging section. Switchgrass is used as the filtering material. Upon receiving the mass of filtering material, the material supply assembly appropriately transfers the filtering material to the assembly section. The filtering material is loaded into a receiving sock with the use of a sizing funnel in the assembly section to create a filter sock. The density of the filtering material within the filter sock varies. When loading is complete, the packaging section sizes the filter sock accordingly. When sizing the filter sock is complete, the filter sock is wrapped in a plastic cover so that the filter sock can be conveniently transported and installed.

In the present invention, an insertion object (300) and backing-equipped shrink film packaging (200) are lined up in series along the insertion direction. An introduction guide body (120) comprises: a head part (121) having an outer diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the a shrink film (220); and an air-blowing port (122) that blows air from the inside thereof toward the outer surface thereof. There are an insertion preparation means in which the introduction guide body (120) is gradually introduced into the shrink film (220) of the backing-equipped shrink film packaging (200) by the sliding movement of a slider device (130), and the shrink film (220) is inflated by air, and an insertion means in which the insertion object (300) is gradually inserted into the inflated shrink film (220), and the insertion object (300) is pulled or pushed to a prescribed position by the insertion means.

Apparatus and methods of seasoning food product in a mechanized food product line advantageously seasons the food product in cartons or containers therefor so that the number of days or so of shipment from the process plant to destinations like grocery stores does double duty as time for the seasoning to be absorbed. Food product can be loaded into containers, which are placed on a conveyor line and passed under a seasoning dispenser which thereby applies a top coat. The containers are conveyed to shrink wrap stations or like packaging closure processes, then to refrigerated or freezer storage and onward by refrigerated or freezer motor vehicles. The dispensing apparatus has metering provisions for application of a measured amount and a controller for switching the dispenser ON as a container passes underneath and then OFF as the container goes past.

Cleanup kits including both wet wipes and dry wipes. In accordance with a first example, a cleanup kit includes a first dispenser containing wet wipes and having a first accessible opening to allow the wet wipes to be dispensed therethrough. The cleanup kit also includes a second dispenser containing dry wipes and having a second accessible opening to allow the dry wipes to be dispensed therethrough. The cleanup kit also includes a carrying handle projecting upwardly from the first and second dispensers and heat sealed to both the first dispenser and the second dispenser to couple the first and second dispensers together. The first and second dispensers are discrete dispensers having separate housings and separate lids.
