A vertical sealer apparatus includes at least one conveyor for receiving objects to be wrapped in a vertical orientation with films from two film sources and for conveying the objects in a downstream direction from before and after they are wrapped along a conveying path, as well as an over for shrinking the films onto the objects. Methods of vertically sealing objects using such apparatus are also provided.

A shape profile measurement device includes: a light projector and a light receiver arranged facing each other; a belt conveyor for conveying an object for measurement; and a calculation unit. The light projector includes a plurality of light-emitting portions arranged in an array direction, and each emits substantially parallel measurement light. The light receiver includes a plurality of light-receiving portions arranged in the array direction facing the plurality of light-emitting portions, and each receives the measurement light emitted from a corresponding light-emitting portion. The light-receiving portions output a signal indicating a light intensity of the received measurement light. The calculation unit acquires the signal of the light receiver when the object is at a plurality of different movement-direction positions between the light-emitting portions and the light-receiving portions, and obtains a shape profile on the basis of the signal acquired and information relating to the plurality of movement-direction positions.

An apparatus is arranged for packaging sheet material, in particular banknotes, vouchers, checks, separation cards, etc., with a packaging device, packaging material dispensed from a roll for packaging the sheet material, and a control device controlling the apparatus. A monitoring device is provided for the packaging material, and the control device evaluates a signal of the monitoring device during the packaging of sheet material, in order to derive therefrom whether packaging material is present on the roll.

The present application relates to a film wrapping equipment. The film wrapping equipment includes: a film wrapping assembly including two film wrapping rollers arranged opposite to each other in a first direction, and a film wrapping channel for a product to pass through formed between the two film wrapping rollers; a film pulling assembly arranged on one side of the film wrapping assembly in the first direction; a product loading assembly used to clamp the product and drive the product to pass through the film wrapping channel; and a strip cutting assembly used to cut off material strips located on two sides of the two film wrapping rollers in the first direction.

An automated food slicing device is provided. The automated food slicing device may automate the cutting, packaging, and/or labelling of food items such as delicatessen food items. The automated food slicing device may also have a computerized input that allows a user to provide inputs regarding selected options which the slicing device will follow to provide a customized food product.

Adjustable tables for use in packaging forming systems and related methods are provided. An adjustable table for use in a packaging forming system can include outer side panels and moveable inner side panels moveably connected to the outer side panels with the outer side panels held stationary relative to the moveable inner side panels. The adjustable table can also include a table top secured to the moveable inner side panels. The table top and the inner side panels are configured to move upwardly or downwardly relative to the outer side panels.

Disclosed are methods and apparatuses for manufacturing a solid formulation for oral administration, comprising an edible substrate portion on which a composition comprising a first pharmaceutical active ingredient is deposited, and solid formulations made thereby. The methods comprise providing an edible substrate in the form of a film comprising a plurality of portions, spraying a liquid formulation comprising the active ingredient and a solvent onto an edible substrate portion and evaporating the solvent to form a solid composition deposited on the edible substrate portion; measuring the quantity of active ingredient supported by the edible substrate portion and comparing to a predetermined value, and dividing the edible substrate into the plurality of portions.

The invention relates generally to a sanitizing device that may comprise of an enclosure, a conveyor module, a plurality of sanitizing light sources, and possibly a sealing module. Objects that need to be sanitized may be transported or placed inside the enclosure and can be exposed to sanitizing lights from a plurality of sanitizing light sources. After the exposure to the sanitizing lights, the objects may convey out of the apparatus or go through a sealing module before exiting the enclosure. The conveyor module of the sanitizing device may be driven by torque created by an exterior conveyor belt or a motorized mechanism integrated within the apparatus.

Provided herein is a furniture wrapping system. The furniture wrapping system includes a film roll support configured to unroll a first film across a path of the furniture article in a first direction, such that the film roll support positions a film barrier across the path. The furniture wrapping system includes a conveyor mechanism configured to carry the furniture article along the path and into the barrier. The furniture wrapping system includes a sealer configured to extend across the path to form a seal such that the furniture article is partially enclosed in the first film.

Disclosed are a cushion conveying device and method, and a cushion rolling packaging apparatus and method. The cushion conveying device includes a frame (10), a conveying platform (20), a pressing mechanism (30) and a folding mechanism (40). At least one gap area is provided on the conveying platform (20). The pressing mechanism (30) is movable back and forth to contact and press at least one part of the cushion on the conveying platform (20). The folding mechanism (40) includes at least one folding member (41) movable back and forth to pass through the gap area, the folding member (41) is capable of extending out of the gap area to abut against the cushion on the conveying platform (20), so as to turn up and fold the cushion. The cushion, when conveyed to the conveying platform (20), is folded in an overturning mode by the pressing mechanism (30) and the folding mechanism (40) cooperatively, so that the folding action is simple and fast. The folded cushion is directly conveyed to the next process through the conveying platform, without additional adjustment to the cushion, such as overturning the cushion, so that the operation is stable and reliable.
