In certain examples, a machine that forms a web into bags or pouches includes a sealing section through which the web is conveyed in a machine direction. The sealing section is configured to form a lap seal in the web and has an input end configured to receive the web which has a first web section and a second web section. An ultrasonic sealer with a horn and an anvil defines a nip therebetween through which the first web section passes. The ultrasonic sealer is configured to form the lap seal in the first web section. The anvil is positioned between the first web section and the second web section. An output end is configured to dispense the web with the lap seal formed therein.

A dispenser head (100) for dispensing a unit (C) of a pharmaceutical drug or a food supplement or food is provided, said dispenser head (100) comprising: a dosing duct (102) extending along a dosing axis (104) and connecting an inlet port (106) for receiving the unit (C) from a reservoir (11) with an outlet port (108) for dispensing the unit (C); a support section (130) for the unit (C), which extends from the exit port (108) parallel to the dosing axis (104); and a retention section (110), which extends from the support section (130).

A non-destructive, non-invasive method for inspection of bonding patterns of packages for products, such as patches or medicated patches, involves thermally probing the packages and the bonding patterns and retrieving a thermal response thereof. The inspection is based in the analysis of the thermal response.

A golf bag bumper dimensioned and adapted to removably coupled along a bottom portion of the golf bag, wherein the golf bag bumper is adapted to absorb the energy of impacts, minimizing repair costs to the golf bag and to objects that collides with the energy-absorbing bumper. The golf bag bumper would also enable an aesthetic and/or branding opportunity to the bottom of the golf bag while providing this protection.

The present invention relates to improvements for the manufacturing of a wave-cut bag of polymeric film, more specifically a wave-cut bag with a body having improved shock, tear and puncture resistance. The polymeric film has an embossed pattern of a plurality of embossed regions that are comprised of a plurality of parallel, linear embosses. Further disclosed is a process for intermittently applying the embossed pattern to a collapsed tube of a blown film extrusion process. The collapsed tube with the intermittently applied embossed pattern is particularly well suited for constructing wave-cut trash bags with the embossed pattern applied to a central body of the wave-cut bags.

An injection molding device comprising an injection mold with a middle mold part arranged in a first direction between a first outer mold part and a second outer mold part. The first outer mold part and the second outer mold part are linearly movable with respect to the middle mold part in the first direction between an open position and a closed position of the injection mold. The middle mold part is turnable about a rotation axis and comprises a side face which comprises a first cavity suitable to temporarily receive a first component. The first cavity communicates with a first half of a second cavity. At least one of the outer mold parts comprises a second half of the second cavity which interacts with the first half to form the second cavity to receive a liquefied first plastic material to form a second component interconnected to the first component.

A method to produce a stand-up pouch (S) provides to make available at least one pre-shaped pouch (PS) initially having a flat configuration, which is defined by a lateral wall (111), by a bottom wall (112) and is provided with at least one hole (113), the pre-shaped pouch (PS) being accessible in correspondence with an aperture (114) opposite the bottom wall (112), the pre-shaped pouch (PS) being positioned so that the hole (113) is aligned with respect to an axis of insertion (Z). The method then provides to manipulate the pre-shaped pouch (PS) by means of holding and shaping means (15, 16) so as to shape the pre-shaped pouch (PS) so as to make available a containing chamber (V) thereof, and to move an insertion rod (13) along the axis of insertion (Z), through the aperture (114), inside the containing chamber (V) just defined, in order to position, and temporarily hold in position, a delivery mean (117) in correspondence with the hole (113).

A sealing machine is provided for sealing a sealing material by heating a fin of the sealing material wrapped around a product. The sealing machine comprises, in a transport direction of the sealing material, a pair of tracking rollers for tensioning the sealing material and a pair of heating rollers for sealing the sealing material by applying heat to the fin when the fin is moved between the pair of heating rollers. Furthermore, the pair of tracking rollers and the pair of heating rollers are configured to be driven independently.

A welding device includes a pair of pressure rollers for pressurizing a web and a strip member, a feed device configured to intermittently or continuously feed the web and the strip member through the pair of pressure rollers, and the laser device configured to irradiate the web or the strip member with a laser beam at a position upstream of the pair of pressure rollers. The welding device may include a movement device configured to move the pair of pressure rollers upstream with respect to the web and the strip member during pause or stop of feed. Alternatively, the feed device may pause or stop the web and the strip member after retracting the web and the strip member by a certain length.

The present patent application relates to a method of manufacturing a multilayered composite film comprising a step of co-extruding at least three layers (a), (b) and (c), of which the layer (a) forms an outward surface of the composite film; the layer (c) forms a surface of the composite film facing or coming in contact with a good to be packaged; and the layer (b) is disposed between the layer (a) and the layer (c). Further, the method includes a step of biaxial orientation of the composite film thus co-extruded. Therein, the layer (a) contains or consists of a thermoplastic resin. The layer (b) contains or consists of a polyvinylidene chloride (PVdC) resin. The layer (c) contains or consists of a resin, preferably sealable, in particular heat-sealable resin. Therein, any crosslinking of the composite film by means of radioactive radiation, in particular by means of beta, gamma, X-ray and/or electron irradiation, is omitted during the manufacturing of the composite film and/or thereafter.
