A fluid dispensing system is provided. The fluid dispensing system includes a container formed by a first chamber and a second chamber separated by an internal divider. A stopper element extends through each chamber via a first aperture disposed in the internal divider. A second aperture is disposed in a base of the second chamber, wherein the stopper element is used to selectively allow fluid to flow from the first chamber into the second chamber when the stopper element is in a measuring configuration. When the stopper element is in a dispensing configuration, the first aperture between is closed and the second aperture is opened to allow fluid from the second chamber to flow exterior from the container. In this manner, a measured amount of fluid from the container can be dispensed in a single movement without using a secondary measuring receptacle.

An apparatus and methods for producing at extremely high production speeds small pouches filled with tobacco or other granular, powdered or solid content is provided. An endless web substrate, with or without flavor film thereon, is formed into a tubular shape with a longitudinal seam. The tube is cut to individual lengths, and a procession of tubes is crimp-closed at one end, filled and crimp-closed at the other end to complete pouch production. During production, the seams formed at the crimped ends of the pouch are parallel to one another and the longitudinal seam of the pouch is midway between the sides of the pouch and orthogonal to the seams formed at the crimped ends of the pouch.

Filling unit (1) for a packaging machine (100) for filling bulk materials (50) into packages (60), and packaging machine with a filling unit (1), comprising a conveyor device (2), by means of which bulk materials (50) can be conveyed into a package (60), and a control device (3), which is suitable and configured to guide a filling stream (4) into a package (60). A fill level sensor device (5) including a sensor device (6) is provided, which is suitable and configured to detect a first fill level (7) and a second fill level (8) of bulk materials (50) in a package (60), wherein the first fill level (7) corresponds to a lower fill level than the second fill level (8). The control device (3) regulates the filling stream (4) by way of the fill levels determined by the sensor device (6). With the method according to the invention, the package is filled until the second fill level is detected. Then the filling stream is reduced until the first fill level is detected. Thereupon the filling stream is increased.
