The invention relates to a device (1) for filling containers for bags (B) of smokeless tobacco, specifically tobacco of the snus type, comprising an infeed station (2) configured for feeding at least one succession of inner frames (T), a filling station (3) configured to feed a succession of individual bags (B) of smokeless tobacco to a respective inner frame (T), a release station (5) configured for releasing at least one succession of inner frames (T) which are full of bags (B), a conveyor (6) defining a feed line which passes through the infeed station (2), the filling station (3) and the release station (5) and which has at least one housing (6a) configured to hold and move a respective inner frame (T) from the infeed station (2) to the release station (5) by way of the filling station (3), suction means (7) disposed in the filling station (3) and configured to apply pneumatic suction in the housing (6a) of the conveyor (6) disposed in the filling station (3) and rotation means (8) disposed in the filling station (3) and confronting the housing (6a) of the conveyor (6) disposed in the filling station (3). The rotation means (8) are configured to set the inner frame (T) disposed in the housing (6a) in rotation about the respective central axis so that successive radial compartments of the inner frame (T) each confront a respective bag (B) to be inserted in sequence.

Disclosed herein are systems and methods for inducing a substantially non-hazardous atmosphere encompassing a beverage container during filling, such as filling a small volume container with an alcohol product. A multi-tiered approach can be used to reduce the combustibility of the atmosphere encompassing the beverage container. For example, a ventilation module can be provided and configured to dilute vapors of the beverage liquid. Further, a chilling module can be provided and configured to reduce or maintain a reduced temperature of the beverage liquid. Further, a capture module can be provided and configured to dilute stray beverage liquid. The ventilation module, the chilling module, and the capture module can cooperate to define a non-hazardous zone encompassing the beverage container. This can allow non-hazardous rated electrical components to operate proximate and within the atmosphere associating the alcohol product during filling.

The invention relates to a device for packaging of medicine-units, comprising a controllable conveyor for conveying a packaging film extending in a longitudinal direction along a path through the device in a direction of conveyance, a first controllable medicine-unit dispensing device positioned at a first location along the path, at least one second controllable medicine-unit dispensing device, positioned at a second location along the path downstream in the conveying direction relative to the first controllable medicine-unit delivery device, a controller, arranged for controlling the conveyor for moving stepwise in the direction of conveyance and simultaneously controlling the first and at least second dispensing device for dispensing a medicine-unit between displacement steps of the conveyor.

The invention relates to a device for filling a medicine-unit container for use in a medicine unit dispensing device, comprising a support for the container, adapted to fix the position of the container relative to the device and limit a movement of the container relative to the device and at least one movable push element, such as a rod or pin, operable relative to the support, for pushing an unlocking element of a container supported by the device.

A loading system (e.g., in a warehouse or other item-fulfillment environment) can include a rotary hub that supports one or more chambers. In a first orientation of the rotary hub, one of the chambers may be in a first position aligned for item receipt (e.g., through an open top of the chamber by feeding from a conveyor belt or other feeding system). The rotary hub can rotate to a second orientation in which the chamber is in a second position aligned for item discharge (e.g., through an open end of the chamber and into a receiving zone of a packaging machine or other system).

The technology described herein generally relates to particular form of folded package and the method of forming that folded package. The package packages loose particles into a conical container and secures the filling with a folded distal end. More specifically, loose plant matter, such as crumbled dried leaves, are supplied as filling and the package may further be provided with a fluid core.
