The invention relates to a device for processing dust- and substantially air-tight sacks (1) filled with flowable or free-flowing materials, and for separating the sack material from the sack contents via a collection device (8), wherein the device comprises a sack supply track (4) with a sack removal point (56), a manipulation device (6) with a lifting frame (9) for picking up the filled sacks (1), a sack slitting device (16) for opening the filled sacks (1), a collection device (8) for collecting the sack contents, an empty sack store (12), and an empty pallet store (13).

A device for emptying a flexible bag comprising a fluid product, comprising a tray including a base having at least a top flat surface and two side members rigidly mounted on the base, perpendicularly to the base, the base being arranged substantially horizontally, namely along a front-rear direction and a left-right direction, a pressure element having at least a flat bottom face, for pressing downwards on a flexible bag under the influence of gravity. The tray includes guiding means for guiding the pressure element, as it goes downwards when the bag is emptying. The pressure element exhibits a gravity center and a geometric center, the gravity center being away from the geometric center.

The disclosure relates to a method for unpacking and separating infusion bags into singles for supplying the bags to a device for further processing. It includes the following steps: Opening an outer packaging, in which the infusion bags are present, by an opening device, wherein the infusion bags are fastened in groups to a holding device inside the outer packaging. Separating the group of infusion bags, which are fastened to the holding device, from the outer packaging by a separating device. Position the holding device with the infusion bags fastened thereon in a transport device by a positioning device. Processing the infusion bags by device for further processing.

An unpacking system having a folding-out device for folding outwards an initially folded-in packaging portion of an item of packaging for an object, and having a stretching device for stretching an item of packaging for an object. The item of packaging herein is in particular a pouch, and the object is in particular a pharmaceutical or cosmetic object. The unpacking system furthermore has a transportation installation for transporting the object in a transportation direction. The packaging portion in the stretching device is stretched parallel with the transportation direction. A filling system is disclosed having such an unpacking system, and methods are disclosed for folding outwards, for stretching, and for unpacking.

A method and device for creating an environmentally sealed connection for transfer between a first region and a second region, the first region and the second region each having an at least partially flexible barrier with connection portions, comprising the following steps: (i) superposition of said connection portions of the barriers in a sandwich arrangement, wherein each connection portion comprises a first area at least partially made of thermo-resistant material and a second area comprising a first welding band zone of a closed geometrical shape, said first and second area of each barrier being arranged to face one another, with the first areas of the two barriers forming the outside layers of the sandwich arrangement, and the second areas of the two barriers forming the inside layers of the sandwich arrangement, wherein the first areas are positioned to cover the first welding band zones of the second zones, (ii) joining the second areas by welding of the first closed welding band zones, whereby a first separation line, comprised inside and along the length of the first welding band zone, is cut as a result of the welding and whereby the barrier areas enclosed by the separation line are welded along their edges to form an insert, which becomes detached from the at least partially flexible barriers, and (iii) distancing the first areas of the super-positioned connection portions from each other, for example by pulling them apart, thereby revealing an opening confined by the welded seam connecting the second areas of the at least partially flexible barriers and joining the first region with the second region.

A method and apparatus for sealing a plastic enclosure is provided. The apparatus includes a handle including elements pivotally coupled together at a first end. The apparatus also includes a pair of spaced apart heating elements positioned along an inner surface of an element and connected to a power source where a longitudinal axis of the heating elements is oriented parallel with a longitudinal axis of the element. Plastic material including first and second plastic layers is positioned at an interface between the second elements. Upon pivoting the first elements from an open position to a closed position the heating elements increase a temperature at the interface to melt the plastic material and form a pair of spaced apart seals between the first and second plastic layers.

A system and method for unpacking a case are provided. The system may comprise a work surface that defines a cutting, extraction, and unloading position and a robot configured to move the cases between the respective positions. The robot may first engage and position the case in the cutting position, wherein a plurality of cutting arms cut a first pair of sides simultaneously near the case bottom. The robot rotates the case and the cutting arms cut another pair of sides simultaneously near the case bottom. The robot then moves the case from the cutting position to the extraction position, where the case bottom is retained and removed from the case. The robot then moves the bottomless case from the extraction position to the unloading position adjacent to the work surface, wherein the product inside the case is deposited into a receptacle through the open case bottom.
