A part packing system for packing a part in an elongated bag includes a bag holding machine including a first bag gripper mechanism, a second bag gripper mechanism, and an air nozzle. The first bag gripper mechanism is configured to hold a first end of the elongated bag. The first bag gripper mechanism opens the first end of the elongated bag. The second bag gripper mechanism is configured to hold a second end of the elongated bag. The second bag gripper mechanism closes the second end of the elongated bag. The air nozzle is located proximate to the first bag gripper mechanism. The air nozzle is configured to inflate the elongated bag with an airflow directed into the first end of the elongated bag. The first bag gripper mechanism holds the inflated elongated bag with the first end open to receive the part in the open first end while the air nozzle directs the airflow into the elongated bag.

The present disclosure relates to a garbage bin, a bin lid, and an automatic cutting mechanism, wherein the cutting drive device drives the first cutting assembly to move along the first guiding assembly and drives the second cutting assembly to move along the second guiding assembly; the first cutting assembly and the second cutting assembly are approached and moved away from each other when moving back and forth. When approaching to each other, a twisted seal at the upper end of the garbage bag is clamped and cut, and after moving away from each other, a space is left for the new garbage bag at the upper end to expand downwards. The automatic cutting mechanism clamps the twisted seal, a size required to be heated is short, the required heat is little, the heating block and power consumption are low, thus the environmental protection is improved.

A method of manufacturing a container includes: a container preparing step of placing a filling space of the pouch inside a receiving space of an outer container; and a pouch expanding step of supplying air to the filling space of the pouch and expanding the pouch toward the receiving space.

An ice bagger is provided. The ice bagger includes an ice hopper into which ice is disposed from an ice manufacturer. The ice hopper further includes an ice agitator. The ice hopper defines an ice trough positioned beneath the ice hopper. An ice auger is housed inside the ice trough. The ice auger transports ice to an ice delivery chute. A hatch is positioned beneath the ice delivery chute, upon which the bag rests while filling. The ice delivery chute and the hatch define a bag filling area such that, when bags are present in the bag filling area, the bags are positioned to be filled. A scale is positioned on the hatch. The scale weighs the ice being deposited into the bag. When the bag is full, the bag is sealed by a sealer. When the bag is sealed, the hatch opens and the bag of ice is deposited in an bag depository. This Abstract is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.
