Disclosed is a capsule filling apparatus. The capsule filling apparatus includes a supplying member configured to supply a tablet; a moving member configured to move the tablet supplied from the supplying member in a preset direction; a catching member configured to catch the tablet moved by the moving member by suction and insert the caught tablet into a capsule; and a capsule accommodating member located below the catching member so that the capsule is accommodated therein.

Exemplary embodiments are directed to an apparatus for filling a central open space in a jar. The apparatus includes a base, an indexing station including a magazine, a blade, and a first actuator, a filling station including cartridges, and a second actuator. The magazine is rotatably mounted to the base. The platform of the cutting station is configured to receive a whole cucumber at a loading area and is incrementally indexed to reposition the whole cucumber from the loading area to a cutting area above the blade. The first actuator is configured to urge the whole cucumber through the blade and cut the whole cucumber into spears. The spears drop into and are held by one of the cartridges. The second actuator is configure to push at least one of the spears out from the cartridge into the central open space of the jar.

Embodiments herein describe a pusher for inducting items into a packaging system. In one embodiment, the pusher moves an item through a mandrel and into a loading volume where the item is enclosed in a package. To mitigate the likelihood the item becomes stuck or does not fully come to rest in the loading volume, the pusher has a scoop that pushes the item through the mandrel into the loading volume. Further, the scoop is designed to perform a springing action to help move the item into the loading volume. In one embodiment, the scoop is cantilevered where an upper edge connects to a back side of the pusher but a lower edge is not connected to the pusher, to help perform the springing action. When the pusher stops moving, the compressed scoop performs the springing action to help propel the item into the loading volume.

An automation or robotics application to wrap objects that are cuboid-shaped and may have an arbitrary size. The machine includes a first module for advertising, dimensioning, and user interfacing. A second module is provided for wrapping paper handling. A third module provides a platform and object alignment assembly. A fourth module provides a gift wrapping chamber. A fifth module provides a taping and dispensing area. A sixth module provides a waste management area. The wrapping machine is configured to autonomously wrap the object and to deliver the fully wrapped object back to original position of the platform.

A working station for a packaging machine, wherein the working station has a lifting unit having a pressure source and a lifting actuator connected to the pressure source. The lifting actuator comprises a hose comprising a wall having an inner surface and an outer surface disposed opposite the inner surface, and a seal having a seal cap engaging the outer surface. The seal further comprises an insert engaging the inner surface. Furthermore, the seal clamps a clamping portion of the wall of the hose between the insert and the seal cap in a fluidtight, preferably gastight, manner.

Method for packing injection moulded parts, in particular parts used in medicine, like pipette tips, which are removed from cavities of an injection moulding machine and inserted into a storage or into packing containers, wherein the injection moulded parts are arranged in a workpiece holder, the injection moulded parts are removed from the workpiece holder in the form of first rows and these first rows are expanded, whereupon the injection moulded parts are removed from the expanded first rows in the form of second rows which extend perpendicular in relation to the first rows, and the second rows are expanded, whereupon the injection moulded parts from the second rows are inserted into packing containers or into a storage.

A bread slice delivery device for an automatic sandwich packaging machine. The device consists of a base plate (1), a bread receptacle base (2), a bread receptacle (3), three ball screw-type linear slide platforms, three L-shaped brackets, a rectangular push plate, two flat carrier plates, one photoelectric switch, and six proximity switches. The bread slice delivery device for an automatic sandwich packaging machine ensures that bread slices land on point accurately and that sandwich layers do not become misaligned during the delivery process; moreover, the bread storage receptacle can be swapped out easily.
