The technology described herein generally relates to an automated packaging apparatus and system that packages loose particles into a conical container as well as the final packed containers. More specifically, loose plant matter, such as crumbled dried leaves, are supplied to successive paper cones. The apparatus provides a system for reliably and accurately depositing or injecting a fluid into a cone packed with loose particulate.

A one-piece, plastic-free blister package is disclosed. The package is formed from a one-piece card comprising a front support card having a window and a rear portion. The rear portion comprises a plurality of sidewalls and a plurality of tabs which can be folded to form a cavity to hold a small product. The package is then assembled by bonding part of the rear portion to the front support card through the application of heat and pressure. The package encloses the product, which is visible to consumers through the window cut on the front support card.

The present disclosure relates to a supporting structure for concurrently supporting a plurality of containers for substances for pharmaceutical, medical or cosmetic applications, having a plurality of receptacles for accommodating the containers therein at least partially. Each of the receptacles has an open upper end for inserting the containers into the receptacles and a lower end having a retaining portion for delimiting an axial movement of the containers in the receptacles. Guiding portions are provided for guiding the containers into the receptacles during insertion. The guiding portions can have upper guiding and positioning portions close to the upper ends of the receptacles and lower guiding and positioning portions close to the lower ends of the receptacles, which are formed separately from each other and delimit a radial movement of the containers in the receptacles.

The present invention relates to a method and a product dispenser comprising a tank for storing a flowable product and a conveyor for conveying storage containers along a longitudinal direction from an entry position to an exit position. The product dispenser further comprises a dosing mechanism extending in the longitudinal direction above the conveyor. The dosing mechanism comprises an inner cylindrical part and an outer cylindrical part enclosing and sealing against the inner cylindrical part. The inner cylindrical part defines a circumferential groove and a helically shaped groove extending between the entry position and the exit position. The outer cylindrical part defines an elongated opening extending in the longitudinal direction and an inlet opening for establishing a fluid path from the tank via the circumferential groove and the helically shaped groove to the elongated opening. The inner cylindrical part is rotatable for dispensing the flowable product into the storage containers.

The technology described herein generally relates to an automated packaging apparatus and system that packages loose particles into a conical container as well as the final folded packages. More specifically, loose plant matter, such as crumbled dried leaves, are supplied to successive paper cones. The apparatus packs the crumbled leaves into the cones, closes the wide top portion of the cone into a precise shape, and then runs a quality control check to ensure that the final filled cone meets preset specifications.
