A filling head for a device having a valve with a valve shutter, the head having a body having a receiving space, a control member that slides in the body between rest and filling positions, the member having a channel that opens into the receiving space, a ring fixed to the member and cooperating with a spring disposed between the ring and the body, and a plate fixed to the body and a housing for receiving the valve, such that, in the filling position, the valve shutter opens into the receiving space. In the filling position, the receiving space is sealed off, having a first seal between the control member and the body, a second seal between the body and the receiving plate, and a third seal between the receiving plate and the valve shutter, the third seal cooperating with an external lateral wall of the valve shutter.

A cartridge handling machine for vape type cartridges is provided, which may comprise a filling module for filling of cartridge bodies with viscous consumable fluids, particularly oils extracted from hemp and cannabis and compositions thereof. The cartridge handling machine may also comprise a capping module to provide for synchronized filling of the filled cartridges and capping the cartridges with a cap, such as a mouthpiece or other cap device developed for such cartridges. The individual filling and capping modules can be operated independent of each other such that the cartridge handling machine preferably comprises both a filling module and capping module that preferably are integrated together for synchronized operation, although these modules may also be constructed and operated as separate machines for the respective filling and capping of these types of vape cartridges.

A needle has a hollow shaft, a tip formed at one end of the shaft, one or more ports in fluid communication with the interior of the hollow shaft, and a closure. The closure and/or the shaft is movable between (i) a first position wherein the closure closes the port(s), and (ii) a second position opening the port(s).

The invention is an anti-drip nozzle system (1) that, through the movement of the piston (11), enables the plug (17) to press against the seat ring (19), thereby closing the flow line (20) and stopping the flow of the fluid from the nozzle. Conversely, when the plug (17) is retracted, it opens the flow line (20), allowing the fluid to flow from the nozzle.
