An apparatus can include a holder plate and a carriage assembly. The holder plate includes a plurality of through-holes configured to receive containers having an interior cavity. The carriage assembly comprises one or more carriage plates and tamper rods, the carriage plates having a plurality of through-holes. Each of the tamper rods can be slidably disposed in a respective one of the plurality of through-holes of the carriage plate. Each of the tamper rods can be independently weighted to provide a force independent of the other of the tamper rods and can be independently movable relative to the other of the tamper rods. The carriage assembly can be configured to be aligned with the holder plate such that the each of the tamper rods provides a compressive force to a filler material within the interior cavity of each of the containers.

This invention concerns a tube filling apparatus (10). The apparatus includes a base (40) and a filling assembly (20) mountable on the base (40). The filling assembly (20) has a number of tube receiving recesses wherein tubes may, in use, be received. The apparatus (10) further includes a vibration plate (32) which is locatable between the base (40) and the filling assembly (20). In use, the tubes rest on the vibration plate (32) when they are located in the recesses. The apparatus (10) may also include transducer such as a speaker which is connected to the vibration plate (32) for, in use, vibrating the vibration plate (32), which is capable of moving independently from the filling assembly (20). This invention also concerns a method of filling tubes.

A delivery device for smokable cannabis and a manufacturing method for same with a defined active cannabis compound. Plant material from a plurality of cannabis plants representing a plurality of cannabis cultivars is harvested based on parent cultivars' active cannabis compound profile. Plant material is shredded to a size range applicable to loading into a smokable device, measured proportions of plant materials are combined to produce a mixed batch with a projected desirable active cannabis compound profile. Material is then processed, analyzed, loaded into smokable delivery device, labeled and distributed.

a The present invention provides an improved shaker device for directing loose solid material (e.g., leafy material, such as tobacco) into a cylindrical or tapered receptacles (e.g., a cigar skin, collection tubes such as a tube flask, etc.). The shaker device offers significant advancements to filling such receptacles of varying length and width. The shaker device may include a housing, an oscillating or oscillating motor for automated shaking, and an easily removable cover to prevent loss of the loose material while the motor is on or if the device is tipped over. The shaker device may have a top plate with downward facing cone-shaped holes, each with a lower extension to direct loose material into the open ends of a plurality of receptacles, and receivers and/or additional plates to support the receptacles.
