A cosmetic impregnated foam manufacturing apparatus of the present disclosure includes: a fixing holder for fixing a container; a two or more multi nozzles for filling the container with liquid-state make-ups having different colors and viscosities; a pressing member pressing the impregnated foam to the container filled with the liquid-state make-ups; and a fabric placed on the impregnated foam. Accordingly, various colors and patterns are achieved by impregnating two or more liquid-state make-ups having different colors by the two or more multi nozzles and the fixing holder that is rotated and horizontally moved.

A method for reverse-filling cosmetic material having an irreversible property and a cosmetic container filled therewith, including the steps of: sealing the top part of the cosmetic inner container, the top and bottom of which are open, with a filling mold, and turning the cosmetic inner container upside down to reverse-position the cosmetic inner container so that the sealed top part of the cosmetic inner container is directed downward and the open bottom part thereof is directed upward; and filling the cosmetic inner container through the bottom part thereof with the cosmetic material. In so doing, the top surface of the cosmetic material filled in the cosmetic container is smooth without any bumps, moisture seepage phenomenon is prevented, and cosmetic material having excellent applicability can be provided as the hardness thereof is relatively low by reverse-filling the cosmetic container with cosmetic material having an irreversible property, such as agar.

A mailer machine including a mailer supply station (e.g., a rotary mailer supply station, a linear mailer supply station, a non-linear mailer supply station, or the like) and a handling station operatively coupled to the mailer supply station. The mailer supply station provides, on a selective basis, mailers having different attributes. The mailer supply station of the mailer machine provides for movement of magazines with respect to a robot in the handling station that may have a distal end secured in a stationary and fixed location. As such, different magazines with dissimilar mailers may be moved to a picking location adjacent the robot, as dissimilar mailers are required. Further, the mailers within the magazines may be moved to a pre-determined pick-up location such that the robot is repeatably picking a mailer from the pre-determine pick-up location.

A mobile device (10) for measuring out at least one ingredient associated with a predetermined mass comprising: means (105) for guiding into position opposite at least one reservoir comprising an ingredient to be measured out, means (110) for reading an identifier of an ingredient on the reservoir comprising said ingredient, motorized means (115) for delivering the ingredient to be measured out from the reservoir, means (120) for acquiring a mass measurement of the ingredient, control means (125), configured to activate the motorized means when the reservoir of the ingredient to be measured out is identified by the means for reading an identifier and the device is positioned opposite the reservoir, until the mass of the ingredient acquired by the acquisition means is equal to the predetermined mass for the ingredient.

Systems, apparatuses, and methods are provided herein for filling orders with used container. A system for filling orders comprises an order database storing a plurality of orders, a used container database storing dimensions of a plurality of used containers, and a control circuit coupled to the order database and the used container database. The control circuit being configured to: determine a container requirement of an order in the order database based on dimensions of products in the order, determine whether an available used container in the used container database meets the container requirement of the order, in an event that an used container meets the container requirement of the order, assign the used container to the order, and in an event that no available used container meets the container requirement of the order, select a new container for the order.

Systems, apparatuses, and methods are provided herein used container collection. A system for used container intake, comprises a receptacle configured to receive used containers from customers, a sensor system configured to detect dimensions and conditions from containers placed in the receptacle, a used container database, a conveyor system, and a control circuit coupled to the sensor system and the used container database. The control circuit being configured to assign a container identifier to a container detected by the sensor system, measure a container dimension of the container with the sensor system, determine a container condition based on whether the container is suitable for reuse, associate the container dimension with the container identifier in the used container database, and cause the conveyor system to route the container based on the container condition.

Systems, apparatuses, and methods are provided herein for reusing containers. A system for container reuse comprises an order database storing a plurality of orders associated with an order fulfillment facility, a conveyor system, and a control circuit. The control circuit being configured to determine container capacity requirements of the plurality of orders in the order database based on dimensions of products in each order, predict container usage for fulfilling orders at the order fulfillment facility based at least on the container capacity requirements of the plurality of orders, determine whether a used container received at the conveyor system should be retained based on a container dimension of the used container and the container usage predicted for the order fulfillment facility, and cause the conveyor system to route the used container to a fulfillment area or a disposal area based on whether the used container should be retained.
