A bagging and packaging machine includes a transport mechanism and a plurality of processing units. The transport mechanism transports a pouch in a standing posture, along a predetermined track. The processing units process the pouch transported by the transport mechanism. The processing units include a filling unit that fills the pouch with an object to be packaged. The transport mechanism has a holding unit that holds the pouch, and a swinging mechanism that swings the pouch, which has been filled with the object to be packaged in the filling unit, in a vertical plane parallel to a transport direction.

The invention concerns a bread slicer with an input compartment (1) for a loaf of bread (2) and a set of blades (5) designed for cutting a loaf of bread (2) and cooperating with a push block (7) which enables the loaf (2) to be pushed through the set of blades (5) to an output table (8). The invention is characterized in that the output table (8) has a bag holder for keeping open a packing bag (10) with the opening (11) facing the set of blades (5), the push block (7) being arranged to push at least a part of the sliced loaf (2) so as to introduce it at least partially in the packing bag (10).

A method of aseptically distributing fluid to a plurality of vessels includes securing the plurality of vessels relative to a hub and flowing fluid through an input tube into a plenum of the hub such that a substantially equal amount of fluid flows from the plenum into each of the vessels simultaneously. The vessels are positioned in the same plane relative to one another with each vessel having an inflow conduit extending from the hub to the vessel such that an arc segment is formed between the hub and the vessel.

An inventive drug product filling device for filling a liquid drug product into containers is disclosed. The drug filling device includes a drug product preparer configured for preparing the liquid drug product and a filling station configured for filling the liquid drug product into the containers. The filling station is fluidly coupled to the drug product preparer. A degasser is fluidly interposed between the drug product preparer and the filling station. The degasser has a membrane configured for at least partially separating off gas from the liquid drug product. Methods of (i) filling a liquid drug product into containers, (ii) increasing the accuracy of the filling weight of a liquid drug product in a container, (iii) increasing the stability oxygen-sensitive active pharmaceutical ingredient in a liquid drug product, and (iv) reducing polysorbate aggregate formation in a liquid drug product are also disclosed.

A method and system reprocess soiled animal bedding material commingled with animal manure. In one aspect the soiled animal bedding material is separated in a shaker to send at least a preponderance of the manure to a holding tank. In another aspect the bedding is cleaned, rinsed and color is restored. The bedding material is subsequently dried and a bedding product, fertilizer product, and/or compacted product is formed. Alternatively, the bedding material is dried (without a compacting step) to form a product. In yet another aspect, the steps of separation, cleaning, rinsing and/or color restoration may be omitted.

The present invention relates to a method and device for collecting, washing and drying solid particle samples used in collecting the solid particle samples in sample collection work in the fields of industrial production and scientific research, and particularly relates to a method and device for collecting, washing and drying solid particles by pneumatic conveying. A method for collecting, washing and drying solid particles by pneumatic conveying comprises: collecting and conveying a sample mixture containing solid particles into a solid particle collecting and processing device by a pneumatic conveying airflow; then disturbing and diluting the collected sample mixture containing solid particles in the solid particle collecting and processing device by the pneumatic conveying airflow and a washing liquid to filter and wash solid particle samples. The present invention overcomes the problems in the prior art: washing and drying to realize automatic one-stop completion of collection.

Described is a method for the production of a moisture curable composition whereby the reactive end groups of a reactive polymer are reacted with a cross-linking agent for forming a prepolymer, whereby the method is operated in batch mode and the production of the prepolymer occurs in a mixing vessel, characterized in that the reactive polymer and the cross-linking agent, as well as the additional ingredients necessary for the production step in the mixing vessel, are introduced into the closed mixing vessel and react without opening the mixing vessel, and the mixing takes place without opening the mixing vessel, and the product is removed from the mixing vessel without opening the mixing vessel.
