The disclosure provides methods and probes used to dispense flowable materials from a packaged source, such as a bag in box container. The probes are adapted to engage with one or more dispensing components, for example, spouts, faucets, caps, bags, boxes, or other dispensing components. The disclosure also provides methods of using the probe, including connecting the probe to one or more dispensing components, for example flip caps, and methods of dispensing the packaged flowable material.

A filling head for filling a tank with a liquid, the filling head delimiting a conduit for filling the tank which extends axially along a filling axis from an upstream section which is adapted to receive a filling nozzle, up to a downstream section which is designed to be connected on the tank to fill, and a degassing circuit including an inlet which is adapted to be connected on the tank and an outlet in communication with the outside, the filling head being characterized in that it delimits a suction window which connects the downstream section of the filling conduit on the degassing circuit, so as to promote the suction of the gases via the degassing circuit, during the filling of the tank.

A loading-unloading assist system includes a holder that holds a plurality of single cells such that the single cells are detachable from the holder, and a lifting device that moves the holder up and down. The holder holds the plurality of single cells in a state where the single cells are arrayed in a straight line at predetermined intervals.

An upper cover assembly includes an upper cover, a liquid filling cap movable relative to the upper cover between a usage position and a liquid filling position, and a mouthpiece. The upper cover is provided with a liquid filling hole and a smoke outlet hole. The liquid filling cap is provided with a through hole. The mouthpiece is integrally formed with the liquid filling cap and is in communication with the through hole. When the liquid filling cap is in the usage position, the liquid filling cap covers the liquid filling hole and the through hole is in communication with the smoke outlet hole. When the liquid filling cap is moved from the usage position to the liquid filling position, the liquid filling cap is displaced from the liquid filling hole and the liquid filling hole is opened.

A filling device may be used to fill a ball or other inflatable item from a water source such as a hose. A filling device may include an adapter having a cylindrical body with a hollow threaded interior, one closed end and one open end. A filling coupler is coupled to the one closed end of the cylindrical body. The one closed end of the cylindrical body has an opening formed therethrough and the filling coupler is coupled to the one closed end covering the opening. The filling coupler has a hollow threaded interior in fluid communication with the opening. A tip may be removably coupled to the filling coupler. The tip may be a ball inflation needle, a water balloon filling tip or the like.

An automatic cover-opening and connector-replacing device for chemical container is disclosed. The device solves the problems of toxic substance leakage and even industrial safety accidents like gas explosions due to aging equipment during the maintenance by operating personnel in high-risk operation areas. The automatic cover-opening and connector-replacing device for chemical container mainly includes a machine, a lifting device provided inside the machine, a cover-opening device connected with the lifting device and a liquid-pumping device connected with the lifting device. The cover-opening device is provided for assembling and disassembling the internal cover of a chemical container and the liquid-pumping device is provided for pumping the content of the chemical container where the lifting device is provided for adjusting the distance between the cover-opening device, liquid-pumping device and chemical container.

A fluidic interconnect includes a first interface including a liquid port, a gas port, and a cradle; a second interface including a liquid port, a gas port, and a swing bar to engage the cradle, a weight of a container attached to one of the first or second interfaces to drive the liquid port of the first interface into connection with the liquid port of the second interface and the gas port of the first interface into connection with the gas port of the second interface.

A dispensing system includes a mobile dispensing device, a fluid transport device, and a fluid supply module. The mobile dispensing device includes a dispensing mechanism carried by a first frame including a first track portion. The fluid transport device includes a second frame supported by at least one wheel for rolling movement of the second frame on the substrate, with the second frame including a second track portion. The fluid supply module includes a base member and at least one reservoir carried by the base member and connectable with the dispensing mechanism for dispensing a fluid stored in the at least one reservoir. The base member includes a third track portion selectively engageable with either one of the first and second track portions for releasable assembly of the fluid supply module with the corresponding one of the mobile dispensing device and the fluid transport device.

A fluid receiver fitting (FRF) for supporting aseptic fluid transfer between enclosures, as well as methods for forming the fluid receiver, is disclosed. The FRF includes a unitized seal section (226) and channel section (228) formed together by 2-shot injection molding, thereby eliminating or minimizing modes of fluid contamination where the seal section and channel section are separate members. The channel section may comprise one or more channels (286) for insertion of a needle (N) therein and a respective penetration zone (266) in a corresponding section of the seal section for the needle to penetrate and thereby extract a fluid sample from a liquid stream against which a portion of the seal section is exposed. An angled interface (288) between each channel and its corresponding penetration zone provides a liquid stream pressure concentration zone which applies pressure to close a core (C) in the seal section formed by removal of the needle.

A system for dispensing biopharmaceutical materials, the system including: a plurality of containers, wherein each of the plurality of containers comprises a screw-on cap having a low temperature silicone stopper; a distribution manifold connected to the plurality of containers, wherein the distribution manifold comprises a plurality of distribution conduits and a plurality of discharge conduits and wherein the distribution conduits and the discharge conduits are in fluid communication with each other; a bulk reservoir for holding the biopharmaceutical materials; and a filter assembly positioned between the bulk reservoir and the distribution manifold.
