An apparatus that forms bundles of glass articles includes a glass article infeed station including an infeed conveyor that continuously transports individual glass articles to a layer separating conveyor. The layer separating conveyor includes a conveyor belt that forms a layer of side-by-side glass articles. A robotic lift assembly is configured to place the layer of side-by-side glass articles together on a layer separation insert. The layer separation insert has side-by-side slots that each receive a single glass article of the layer of side-by-side glass articles.

A method includes obtaining a container sized to fit multiple high voltage light emitting diode (LED) lightbulbs, adding multiple loose high voltage LED lightbulbs to the container to fill the container, and sealing the container, such that the container contains a higher density of high voltage LED light bulbs than a same sized container can hold protective packaged equivalent watt incandescent bulbs.

A separating apparatus includes a feed device for feeding pipette tips, a dispensing device for dispensing pipette tips, a separating device arranged between the feed device and the dispensing device and having a transport shaft rotatably mounted about a longitudinal axis, and a retaining element spaced apart from the transport shaft for retaining the pipette tips. The transport shaft has a thread for moving the pipette tips in an intermediate space between the transport shaft and the retaining element. The transport shaft has a transfer region for transferring the pipette tips from the feed device. The thread has a first thread pitch in the transfer region, and the transport shaft has an acceleration region after the transfer region. The thread has a second thread pitch in the acceleration region which is greater than the first thread pitch.

The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing glass containers for pharmaceutical use. This method allows obtaining containers with a low degree of alkalinity. In some preferred embodiments the process allows the manufacture of sterile containers and substantially free of particles ready to be used by the pharmaceutical industry.

Method for packing injection moulded parts, in particular parts used in medicine, like pipette tips, which are removed from cavities of an injection moulding machine and inserted into a storage or into packing containers, wherein the injection moulded parts are arranged in a workpiece holder, the injection moulded parts are removed from the workpiece holder in the form of first rows and these first rows are expanded, whereupon the injection moulded parts are removed from the expanded first rows in the form of second rows which extend perpendicular in relation to the first rows, and the second rows are expanded, whereupon the injection moulded parts from the second rows are inserted into packing containers or into a storage.

An apparatus for filling pharmaceutical containers includes a filling device with a linear transport device that preferably includes circulating holding elements for the containers. The holding elements are movable along a transport direction from a coupling side to a decoupling side of the transport device. A processing station includes a filling station arranged at the transport device for filling the containers with a pharmaceutical substance. A coupling element transfers the containers to the transport device, and a decoupling element receives the containers from the transport device. A first feed unit provides containers of a first type to be filled, and a second feed unit feeds containers of a second type to be filled. An interface element is arrangeable on the feed side with respect to the transport device. Containers of the first type or the second type can be selectively fed directly or indirectly to the transport device.
