In a manufacturing method of a liquid containing container, a capper has a container holding portion configured to be displaced at a constant first velocity in the circumferential direction of a first central axis, the method including: a liquid blow molding step of molding a preform disposed in a cavity of a mold into a container body having a barrel containing a liquid; an intermediate conveying step of, after the mold is opened, gradually accelerating the container body to a third velocity and delivering the container body to a carrier of a rotary conveying machine by an intermediate conveying device; a rotary conveying step of conveying the container body and delivering the container body to the container holding portion by the carrier of the rotary conveying machine; and a capping step of attaching a cap while the container body is conveyed by the container holding portion.

An automated drum manipulation system and methods include at least one among an automated drum rotator, bung locator, bung plug extractor and bung plug installer. The bung locator includes at least two spaced-apart bung location sensors and at least one downwardly-extending foot spaced outwardly relative to the sensors and configured to rest upon the drum's outer rim, positioning the sensors over the upper surface of the drum so they can concurrently detect the presence of opposing sides of the lip of the drum's bung opening as the drum is rotated below the bung locator.

An apparatus (100) for automated capping and de-capping of test tubes (112) having an ejector pin (230) system for individualized cap (113) ejection.

A device for closing a filled container with a screw cap, for example, for closing support ring-less bottles with a screw cap, is described. The device includes a neck guide with at least one torsion protection element for accommodation of a neck section of the filled container in a torsion-protected manner during the closing with the screw cap, and a discharge element for discharging the closed container from the neck guide. The neck guide and the discharge element are displaceable relative to each other.

[Problem to be solved] A sample storage tube and an automation system for operating a sample storage tube are provided, which can operate a lid capping operation, a carrying operation and lid decapping operation by using a robot arm.

[Solution] A sample storage tube 100 comprises a tube body 120 and a lid 110. The lid 110 comprises a lid dent inner screw 112 accessible by a first lid access module 210 and a lid top recession and protrusion shape structure 113 accessible by a second lid access module. A capping operation and a carrying operation for the lid 110 against the tube body 120 is achieved by the rotation torque to the lid 110 given by the second lid access module via the lid top recession and protrusion shape structure 113. The pulling-up force by the rotation of the first lid access module via the lid dent inner screw 112 and the pushing-down force by the contacting of the second lid access module via the lid top recession and protrusion shape structure 113 at the same time, the lid is held firmly by pinching the both forces.
