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 drug packaging device includes: a storage in which drug units are stored; a supply channel communicating with the storage through a supply hole formed in a wall of the storage, extending from the storage, and supplying drug units discharged from the storage to a drug packaging member; and an actuator moving up and down and rotating the storage. The actuator moves the storage up or down to a position at which the storage communicates the supply channel, and rotates the storage to generate centrifugal force required to discharge the drug units from the storage to the supply channel. The supply channel includes: an inlet portion hingedly connected to the storage; an outlet portion which is a free end that is unfixed, and a vibrator installed at the inlet portion and vibrating the inlet portion.

A rotary cup filler has a cup holder plate that permits cup holders to be retained in place by inserting them into open-ended receptacles from the side of the cup holder plate rather than being inserted into openings in the bottom cup holder plate from beneath. In one configuration, the cup holder plate has a central hub and plurality of arms that extend arcuately from the central hub to form the receptacles therebetween. The arms may engage opposed sides of a circumferential groove in the associated cup holder.

The present disclosure is a straw filler system that has a first motor and a straw filler device. The straw filler device has a fill cap fixedly coupled to a base forming an internal cavity. The base has a plurality of external openings on its periphery for receiving a plurality of straws and holding the plurality of straws in place while being filled with a viscous material, and the plurality of external openings are in fluid communication with a plurality of internal openings within the internal cavity via a plurality of respective channels. The straw filler system further has a motor hub fixedly coupled to the first motor and rotatably coupled to the base, the motor hub configured for axially rotating the straw filler device so that centrifugal force forces the viscous material to travel from the cavity to the plurality of straws.

The invention addresses the problem of providing a medication cassette, which in addition to being capable of smooth automated dispensing despite being capable of storing large amounts of medication, allows accurate ascertainment of whether the medication has run out or is jammed. This medication cassette is provided with: a cylindrical body in which the medication is stored; a first rotating body capable of reciprocating movement inside the cylindrical body in the direction of the shaft center thereof; a second rotating body disposed on the outer circumference of the cylindrical body; a conveyed medication-detecting element for detecting medication that has been conveyed by the second rotating body; and a control for moving the first rotating body upward when a medication detection signal is not output from the conveyed medication-detecting element.
