A scoop and level for scooping a portion of granulated material and leveling the contents of the scoop. The scoop may have a volume suitable for brewing a single serving of brewed beverage, and in particular, for brewing a single serving of espresso. The lever is attached to the scoop and slides over the scoop to displace excess material, thus providing a desired amount material for precessing, for example, for preparing a beverage. A scoop handle may further include a tamper opposite to the scoop. The tamper may be used to tamp brewing material after scooping, leveling, and pouring the brewing material into a holder.

A method of using a bag rack. A method of using the bag rack may include, but is not limited to, the steps of hanging the storage bags on the bag rack, opening the front most storage bag, holding open or propping open the storage bag using a bag hooking mechanism, placing the food item(s) or any other types of item(s) into the storage bag, removing the bag hooking mechanism, if used, closing the storage bag, and removing the filled storage bag from the bag rack. The bag rack may include a bag rack that is formed of a base assembly and a hanger assembly on which multiple storage bags may be hung.

A portable packing table having a temperature-controlled work area is provided. The table defines a chamber for dry ice or like substance and has a surface on which an open-topped upright chimney is mounted for receiving a flow of conditioned air from the chamber and for defining a temperature-controlled work area therein. A fan unit is connected to the table for forcing a flow of ambient air into the chamber, and a control unit is connected to the fan unit for automatically controlling operation of the fan unit to maintain air temperature within the chimney within a set temperature range.

An apparatus for liquid medication bottle-splitting is provided. The apparatus includes: a first dispensing section comprising a funnel-shaped hollow body with a wide inlet opening tapering to a narrow outlet; a second dispensing section comprising a second funnel-shaped hollow body with a second wide inlet opening tapering to a second narrow outlet; and a crossover channel connecting the first dispensing section to the second dispensing section, the crossover channel including a crossover opening extending a length of the crossover channel, and the crossover channel being angled to evenly distribute a flow of liquid medication into at least a first split portion in the first dispensing section and a second split portion in the second dispensing section; the first dispensing section adapted to dispense the first split portion, and the second dispensing section adapted to dispense the second split portion.

Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a random case sealer. The case sealer includes a top-head-actuating assembly configured to vary the speed of the top-head assembly when ascending (to make room for the case beneath the top-head assembly) and when descending onto the case (to engage the top surface of the case during sealing). This maximizes the speed of the top-head assembly while limiting overshoot (when ascending) and preventing damage to the case (when descending). In certain embodiments the case sealer includes a tape cartridge configured to limit the forces imparted onto the leading and top surfaces of the case during sealing. These features result in increased throughput as compared to prior art random case sealers without requiring stronger cases or more protective dunnage.

A product bagging assembly and method of manipulating a web material bag that is operable to create a bag opening that is greater than six inches and which is operable without substantially detracting from product throughput associated with use and operation of the product bagging assembly. In a preferred embodiment, the bag opening/dosing assembly includes a first actuator and a second actuator that are connected to one another such that a position of one of the actuators can be manipulated by operation of the other actuator. The product bagging assembly can be provided as a kit configured for plug and play operation with previously provided bag and product delivery systems.
