A beverage production system, comprising a cup dispensing station configured to dispense cups, a beverage dispensing station configured to dispense a beverage, and a turntable assembly. The turntable assembly comprising a central axis, an inner turntable including a first row of cup receptacles, and an outer turntable including a second row of cup receptacles. The outer turntable is disposed circumferentially about the inner turntable, and the outer turntable is configured to rotate about the central axis to align the cup receptacles of the second row with the cup dispensing station and the beverage dispensing station. The turntable assembly is configured to align an opening in a cup receptacle in the second row with an opening in a cup receptacle in the first row. A slide assembly includes an arm configured to slide a cup positioned in the cup receptacle in the second row into the aligned opening of the cup receptacle in the first row.

A rotating plant for the application of protective membranes of a stretchable plastic polymer on the upper rim of beverage cans includes equal operating devices movable along radial trajectories of a turntable that provide for the circular movement, the radial movement and the vertical movement required and sufficient for applying the membranes.

A beverage container sleeve comprising a power bank configured for recharging mobile devices. The sleeve has a beverage container compartment and a power bank compartment, which is attached to the bottom of the beverage container compartment. The power bank compartment has a charging port, and the power bank has a mobile device charging plug receptacle. The power bank compartment is adapted for removably receiving the power bank such that the charging port is in aligned communication with the mobile device charging plug receptacle.

A multilayer capsule of the types which cover the neck of wine or liquor bottles is made is made exclusively of aluminum, or at least 98% by weight of aluminum. A production method for preparing the capsule can include forming a capsule body and fixing an aluminum disc in the upper part of the body. Another production method can include cutting a multilayer sheet into suitable size for the capsule; and forming the capsule by deep-drawing.

Closure for a container mouth, the closure comprising: a cover portion (18) for covering at least a portion of the container mouth; a fastener portion (20) for engaging the container for fastening the closure to the container; and a peelable bracing portion (22) extending generally in a circumferential direction of or around an axis of the closure, the bracing portion overlapping at least partly the cover portion and the fastener portion, and configured to reinforce the closure by bearing, as shear stress at an interface between the bracing portion and at least one of the cover portion and fastener portion, support force in or between one or both of the cover portion and the fastener portion.

According to the present disclosure, a system for capsule sealing using an improved sealing head for applying a top to a can is contemplated. The improved sealing head is contemplated as being capable of producing a sealed can having greater adhesion and strength in at least one area of the can edge, and a weaker adhesion in the remaining area of the can edge, in order to simplify opening and to reduce any requirements for the use of non-metallic adhesives.

A sealing machine and method for controlling a sealing machine Includes the following steps: placing capped containers provided with a seal on plates, rotating the plates, pressing the seal against the cap of the container and fastening said seal using a sealing head. The step of rotating the plates is performed by rotating each plate independently of the other plates. The method further includes: detecting at least one parameter associated with the rotation of a plate and/or with a compression load between each sealing head and the seal, and comparing the value of the detected parameter with a reference range.

A beverage production system, comprising a cup dispensing station configured to dispense cups, a beverage dispensing station configured to dispense a beverage, and a turntable assembly. The turntable assembly comprising a central axis, an inner turntable including a first row of cup receptacles, and an outer turntable including a second row of cup receptacles. The outer turntable is disposed circumferentially about the inner turntable, and the outer turntable is configured to rotate about the central axis to align the cup receptacles of the second row with the cup dispensing station and the beverage dispensing station. The turntable assembly is configured to align an opening in a cup receptacle in the second row with an opening in a cup receptacle in the first row. A slide assembly includes an arm configured to slide a cup positioned in the cup receptacle in the second row into the aligned opening of the cup receptacle in the first row.
