A PTP packaging machine includes: a filler that fills a predetermined content into pocket portions formed in a strip-shaped container film; a sealer that is provided on a downstream side of the filler and mounts a strip-shaped cover film to the container film to close the pocket portions and obtain a strip-shaped PTP film including the cover film mounted to the container film; and a puncher that is provided on a downstream side of the sealer and punches out an expected sheet portion of the PTP film that is a region of eventually forming a predetermined PTP sheet and thereby obtain the PTP sheet.

An automated method and system for stacking and loading wrapped facemasks into a carton in a facemask production line include conveying individual wrapped facemasks to a delivery location adjacent to a rotary wheel, the rotary wheel conveyor having individual pick-up devices spaced around a circumference thereof. Each wrapped facemask is picked-up with a respective pick-up device on the rotary wheel conveyor and transported to a first carton staging area at a first location on the circumference of the rotary wheel. At the first staging area, the facemasks are released from the rotary wheel conveyor and deposited into a carton.

A centrifugal bowl parts feeder system for various relatively heavy parts feeding including automotive bearings, gears, castings and other small, rugged and heavy part1 to 6 inches in diameter and to 5 pounds apiece. The components for this heavy duty centrifugal parts feeder system embraces a feeder bowl system with a durable, high impact bowl and surface, a drive assembly and a shaft connected to an inner disk, a set of selection tooling to separate and organize the parts, and a heavy support structure contiguous and beneath the inner disk. The system also contains both an input and output parts conveyor. All the components permit the heavy duty centrifugal bowl parts feeder system to feed and orient the relatively heavy, rugged and small.

A flap folding arrangement is disclosed. The flap folding arrangement includes an axially extending rim that initially contacts a flap of a product to partially fold the flap as the product is dropped from a feed conveyor into a first pocket of a rotator pan. A controller is adapted to rotate the rotator pan away from a first position which drives the flap into contact with a flap-folding flange and a radially extending rim until the product is positioned at a second position under a flap-folding gate. The controller is adapted to drive a product discharger into contact with the product to drive the product out of the first pocket and away from the folding assembly after rotation of the rotator pan.

An apparatus is provided for transferring at least one sausage link into a packaging item. The apparatus includes at least one drivable, rotatable conveyor device having at least one protruding vane, with the conveyor device being adapted and configured in such a way that the at least one sausage link can be placed on the vane in a receiving position, and that by rotating the conveyor device, the at least one sausage link can be placed onto or into the packaging item by the vane in a delivery position. The conveyor device may further include an impeller that forms, in part, a horizontal support surface for a group of sausage links.

A prescription handling system that takes filled prescription containers in an automated pharmacy and places them into a package for shipment is described. The handling system includes an inflow to feed containers to a turntable and a robot moves containers from the turntable to a container placement section, which places the containers in a pocket of a package for shipping. Each container for a prescription order is tracked to ensure that only associated containers are packaged together.

The present invention disclosed a full automatic medication dispensing system and methods of solid medication separation, comprising of a medication feeding device, a medication separation device, a medication distributing channel device, a medication supply device, a medication returning device and a central processing unit. The system has no requirement on the size, shape and weight of solid medications, the medications can be automatically and accurately dispensed into the sealed medication supply box according to the set parameters, and the excessive medications are automatically returned to the medication retrieving bottles. The system can remind a medication taking person to take the medication in time and supply the medications when confirmed. User can choose a portable medication box or a fixed medication box with a larger capacity. The system can be directly set, and parameters can also be set more conveniently through the mobile client and the reminding functions and the remote setting functions can be added. Medications can be taken in advance. The system can inform preset people when a dose of medications are not taken after a preset period of time, or more medications and medication dispensing are needed, The system can accurately dispense medications, and is convenient to clean, easy to use, and is of great economic, practical and medical value.

A component conveyance disk of a taping apparatus has a plurality of component transport units at an equiangular interval. Each component transport unit is formed of three component transport grooves in a peripheral portion of the component conveyance disk. Width direction centerlines of the respective component transport grooves are parallel to each other, with a portion thereof in a direction along the width direction centerlines opening toward a component storage chamber. Dimensions along the width direction centerlines of the opened portion of the respective component transport grooves are shorter than a length of the component. In addition, the respective component transport grooves have component guides that guide the components into the respective component transport grooves.
