In a container-filling machine, a filling element includes a housing, a sealing tulip, and a bellows. The housing has a housing section and an orifice. The sealing tulip moves relative to the housing section along an axis between a raised and a lowered position. The bellows surrounds the axis. The bellows' two ends connect tightly to the housing and the tulip respectively. As a result, the bellows seals a transition between the tulip and the housing.

The invention relates to a method and a production line (1) for producing pouches (2). The product line (1) comprises a supply unit (3), a deformation unit (4), a dosing unit (5), a sealing unit (6) and a cutting unit (7).

A soft capsule manufacturing apparatus for controlling an injection amount, an injection interval and/or an injection rate of core solution by an injection controller, wherein the operation of the injection controller is automatically adjusted and controlled by a control panel, after processing the signal from the detection sensor for checking the injection status.

A system and method for automatically receiving, sorting, filling and sealing containers is disclosed. The containers may include cartridges that may be filled with a desired substance such as distilled cannabinoids and such. The filled and sealed cartridges may then be used for specific purposes such as for use in vape pens and the like.

An apparatus for delivering a product into a container can include a filling unit, a drive unit configured to move the container with respect to the filling unit between a first position and a second position, and a controller. The filling unit can include a pump and a filling nozzle. The controller can: control delivery of the product through the filling nozzle; control the drive unit; register an operational end position of the drive unit corresponding to said second position; assign the registered operational position as a new initial position for the drive unit; calculate a new drive unit motion profile for controlling movement of the container from said second position to said first position based on said new initial position of the drive unit; and initiate delivery of the product through the filling nozzle into the container before the drive unit reaches said operational end position.

Provided are a method and an apparatus for extruding into a tube and filling the tube at a high speed and simultaneously sealing the tube. Specifically provided is a method for producing a polymer tube, containing a liquid therein and being sealed at constant intervals, the method including an extrusion step of continuously melt-extruding a polymer material through a die into at least one tube, while feeding a liquid into the tube to obtain at least one liquid-containing tube; and sealing step of discontinuously pressing the at least one liquid-containing tube between a pair of pressurizing members at constant intervals to cause pressure-bonding before the tube solidifies, while continuously taking up the extruded tube.

An apparatus for filling a device having a penetrable septum and a sealed chamber. The apparatus includes a filling member engageable with the penetrable septum to penetrate the septum, port(s), and a closure. The closure and filling member are movable between (i) a first position wherein the closure closes the port(s), and (ii) a second position opening the port(s). The filling member and/or septum is movable relative to the other between (i) a first position wherein the filling member is spaced from the septum, and (ii) a second position wherein the filling member is penetrated through the septum and in communication with the sealed chamber. A locking device is movable between (i) a locked position locking the closure and/or filling member in the first position, and (ii) an unlocked position allowing movement of the closure and/or filling member relative to the other and into the second position.

The invention relates to a filling needle (10; 10a-10g) for dispensing a pharmaceutical liquid (1) into a container (2), comprising a preferably rod-shaped filling needle body (12; 12a; 12b; 12d; 12f; 12g) in which a product feed bore (13) is formed, having at least one, preferably a plurality of product outlet bores (16; 16a to 16d) which extends from the product feed bore (13) and opens on an outer wall of the filling needle body (12; 12a; 12b; 12d; 12f; 12g) into a region which is spaced apart from a filling needle body end (25; 25b; 25c) with respect to a longitudinal axis (18) of the filling needle body (12; 12a; 12b; 12d; 12f; 12g), and having a valve element (14; 14b; 14c; 14d; 14e; 14g) which is made of an elastic material which covers the filling needle body (12; 12a; 12b; 12d; 12f; 12g) at least in the region of the at least one product outlet bore (16; 16a to 16d).

An apparatus is provided for storing and dispensing a cosmetic fluid, comprising: a body including a nozzle disposed at a first end of the body and an opening disposed at a second end of the body, the body being configured to hold a volume of a fluid; a one-way valve attached to the nozzle configured to allow a flow of the fluid in a first direction from a first end to a second end of the one-way valve, and preventing flow of the fluid in a second substantially opposite direction; and a piston, wherein the opening is configured to receive the piston; the piston forms a fluid seal with sidewalls of the body; the piston is configured to be translated along a length of the body from the second end of the body to the first end of the body; and the translation of the piston displaces and ejects a predetermined volume of fluid through the one-way valve.
