The invention concerns a method of degasification of a carbonated beverage-filled container in an apparatus for blowing and filling containers, the apparatus comprising: a mold (12) enclosing a blown and carbonated beverage-filled container (14) that comprises a dispensing opening (16), an injection head (24) that is movable along a longitudinal axis (A) passing by the dispensing opening of the container between a sealing position in which the injection head is in a sealing engagement with the dispensing opening and a non-sealing position in which the injection head is at a distance from the dispensing opening, characterized in that the method comprises the following steps: i) moving the injection head (24) away from the sealing position (3A) to a non-sealing position (3B). ii) moving back the injection head to the sealing position (30), iii) moving the injection head away from the Position sealing position to a non-sealing position (3D).

The present invention relates to a filler machine and method. The filler machine and method allow efficient and/or accurate filling of containers such as bottles, and have particular application to filling bottles or similar containers with carbonated beverages.

A device is illustrated and described for altering the jet shape of pourable products, in particular of foodstuffs, including an entry region for the entry of the pourable products, an exit region for the exit of the pourable products, and several ducts for conveying the pourable products, wherein each duct has at least one inlet associated with the entry region and at least one outlet associated with the exit region. The use of this device for the filling of foodstuffs and a method for the production of this device are also illustrated and described. In order to achieve that the shape and the velocity profile of the filling jet can be adjusted simply and gently, it is proposed that at least one of the ducts is curved, at least in sections.

The present invention relates to a vapor recovery system for gas station that is capable of controlling vapor emission to less than 0.38 lbs/1000 gallons fuel dispensed. The system may include at least one canister containing adsorbents such as activated carbon, zeolite, activated alumina, silica, and other adsorbents for passive removal of hydrocarbon vapors in venting air. Additionally, the system may include a means to enhance vapor-liquid equilibrium in the ullage of the fuel tank and accordingly minimize vapor emission level.

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 dental paste filling device for filling dental paste in a container without entraining air bubbles is disclosed. The dental paste filling device includes: a paste supply stage serving as a supply source of the dental paste; a paste filling stage where the dental paste is filled in the container; and a supply flow passage connecting the both stages. The paste supply stage comprises: a storage chamber for storing the dental paste; a storage chamber depressurizing and defoaming device for depressurizing the inside of the storage chamber to defoam the dental paste within the storage chamber; and a storage chamber extruding device for extruding the dental paste within the storage chamber towards the supply flow passage. The paste filling stage comprises: a filling chamber having an open/close mechanism; a holder for detachably holding the container inside the filling chamber; a filling chamber deaerating device for depressurizing the inside of the filling chamber to prevent entrainment of air bubbles into the dental paste; and a reception port for introducing the dental paste into the filling chamber. The supply flow passage comprises: an upstream tube connected to the storage chamber; a downstream tube connected to the reception port of the filling chamber, and a discharge control valve disposed between the upstream tube and the downstream tube.
