A machine for making capsules of the type including comprising a container and a dose of product inside the container, including comprises a feed system for feeding at least a first container along a feed path in a direction of feed; at least one filling station for supplying a dose of said product into said first container, at least one detecting station positioned along said feed path downstream of said filling station in the direction of feed and including comprising a detecting sensor operating at said first seat configured to detect the moisture of the product supplied into the first container.

A medicine dispensing system includes canisters and packing assemblies to place specific doses of medicines into capsules. The system removes inert and filler ingredients to place only those active ingredients prescribed to the patient. The system includes a conveyor belt to move the capsules between canisters filled with the active ingredients. A dose is placed and packed into the capsules for each active ingredient. Thus, the number of capsules for a variety of medicines is reduced.

A device, system, and method for loading empty and formed six-pack bottle carriers into a larger case (i.e. a multi-pack) is provided. The packaging device includes an upper portion and a lower portion. The six-pack carriers are formed by unfolding them in the upper portion. Various components are associated with the upper portion of the packaging device. The case receives a plurality of six-pack carriers therein. The larger cases is formed by unfolding them in the lower portion of the packaging device. Various components are associated with the lower portion of the packaging device. The upper portion and lower portion operate simultaneously to efficiently produce a case have empty six-pack carriers placed therein for later filling with bottles at a downstream destination. The system includes the machine, the cases, the six-pack carriers, and the bottles, operating collectively.

The present disclosure relates to removing residual air in a packaged product. In particular, the present disclosure is directed to a residual air reduction device and to methods of using such device to reduce the amount of residual air in a packaged product. Such a device is employed during the manufacturing process to release air trapped in a product matrix and/or in a head space of the package as the package contacts the device. In some embodiments, the device and methods of the disclosure are useful in reducing residual air in a pouch package by at least 5% in comparison to a pouch package manufactured without use of the device and/or methods described herein.

A method for filling and closing pharmaceutical objects disposed in parallel rows in nests includes removing the objects from the nests at an inlet of a conveying device in a removal station and placing the objects into the conveying device. In the conveying device, the objects are fed in succession to a first weighing station and weighed, to filling station and filled and to a second weighing station and again weighed and to a closing station and/or crimping station and closed. After closing, the objects are removed from the conveying section. In every case, pre-sterilized objects are processed in an aseptic manner.
