A drug packaging device includes a dispensing portion and a packaging portion. The dispensing portion includes a first dispensing portion including a plurality of drug cassettes and a second dispensing portion configured to receive drugs, which are prepared separately from the drugs stored in the first dispensing portion, and to dispense the drugs. The second dispensing portion includes a first receiving/dispensing portion and a second receiving/dispensing portion. The second receiving/dispensing portion is configured to dispense drugs by the amount required for packaging among a plurality of drugs having been collectively distributed. The first receiving/dispensing portion and the second receiving/dispensing portion are vertically arranged.

A device for collating and loading articles includes a container which is open along its upper wall and has a front wall which is adjacent to two side walls and a lower wall. One of these walls is movable and designed for loading the articles into a case. A variable-geometry means is provided for collating articles in the direction of a reference point zero (0), in the plane of the lower wall, in the orthonormal directions 0X and 0Y. The articles are intended to change and amend their trajectories in the orthonormal directions OX and OY towards the reference point (0), depending on the amount of space they occupy.

A crop baler implement includes a baling chamber sized to form crop material into a parallelepiped shape bale having longitudinal faces and transverse faces. The implement includes a carriage disposed rearward of the baling chamber. The carriage includes a tray positioned to receive the bale from the baling chamber in a first orientation, in which the longitudinal faces of the bale are parallel with a longitudinal frame axis. A longitudinal wrapping assembly may wrap the longitudinal faces of the bale when the bale is in the first orientation. The tray is rotatable relative to the carriage about a substantially vertical tray axis to move the bale from the first orientation to a second orientation, in which the transverse faces of the bale are parallel with the longitudinal frame axis. A transverse wrapping assembly may wrap the transverse faces of the bale when the bale is in the second orientation.

A system for transferring a first group of components of electronic cigarettes from first to second operating stations includes a flat collecting surface extending from a feeding zone to a releasing zone. A feeding device receives the components and feeds them onto the collecting surface. A first abutment element abuts the first component of the first group. A second abutment element abuts the last component of the first group. A compacting and stabilizing device moves the components closer together and stabilizes their positions. A first movement device moves the first and second abutment elements along the collecting surface to transfer the first group to the releasing zone. A tray faces the releasing zone to receive the first group. A pushing device pushes the components from the releasing zone into the tray. A transferring device transfers the tray with the first group towards the second operating station.

The present invention allows a beverage manufacturer to package variety packs of beverages while it is filling various beverages. The improved system that carries out the method includes an onsite accumulator that eliminates the long-standing practice of packaging variety packs at a separate location from where the beverages are packed.

The invention relates to a cartoning apparatus (1) of items comprising: a sorting machine (100), which is configured to arrange the items into clusters, and a die-cut magazine (125), in which a plurality of die-cuts (5) are stored for packaging the clusters of items. Where the die-cut magazine is flanked in plan to the sorting machine and is spaced therefrom so that between the die-cut magazine (125) and the sorting machine there is a passage gap (126) with a width greater than 50 cm in at least a stretch of the passage gap.
