The disclosure relates to a device for emptying tubes. The device has at least one first and one second tooth roller, a housing, and an electric motor. The housing has at least one opening in the region of the two tooth rollers, the first tooth roller is arranged within the housing above the second tooth roller. The first tooth roller is freely rotatable, and the second tooth roller is driven by the electric motor. The two tooth rollers are in this case arranged one above the other such that a tube that is passed through the opening and between the two tube rollers with the tube fold at the front is drawn in by the rollers and the tube content can be pressed out of the tube.

A device for dispensing fluid from a fluid container, the device capable of being set to different discrete and repeatable/equal dispensing amounts, depending on the amount of fluid required to be dispensed by the user for various applications and uses. The device may also be set to an “off” or “closed” position to prevent accidental dispensing of fluid when not in use. The device is preferably configured to be affixed to the outer surface of a fluid container, which fluid container is preferably a flexible bag or pouch.

Individual portions of ice cream are dispensed from a bulk container. A motor drives a lead screw, to expand a scissor linkage and drive a dispensing head against the bulk container. Pressure applied to the container causes it to collapse and discharge ice cream from an outlet. The lead screw is orthogonal with the movement of the dispensing head and the axis of collapse of the container. The container, motor and lead screw are carried on a drawer which is slidably mounted in a refrigerated housing. Pressure is monitored to regulate operation of the motor. An encoder controls the motor for a specific portion size.

The tube (1) includes a connector (9) with a dispensing duct (13) which connects a dispensing opening (11) to a reservoir (3). For the dosed dispensing of a liquid from the reservoir (3) through the dispensing opening (11), a throttle insert (31) is inserted into a distal section (9b) of the connector (9) and is connected in form-fitting fashion to the connector (9). The connection of the throttle insert (31) to the connector (9) is preferably realized by a radial pressing action. The throttle insert (31) is preferably of dome-like form and delimits at least one primary throttle duct (47) which forms in the dispensing duct a constriction which limits the volume flow of the liquid from the reservoir (3) to the dispensing opening (11).

A method and assembly for attaching to a container and configured to reduce the volume of a droplet of fluid ejected from the container wherein the assembly is securable to the container without alteration of the container and wherein the volume of the droplet is reduced on a microliter scale. The assembly comprises a base for securing a neck of the container; a tip for securing over a dispensing outlet of the container; and optionally a cap for securing over the tip and connecting to the base.

The present invention provides: a sealant film for packaging liquid contents, which is excellent in manufacture suitability, exhibits the effect of being highly adsorptive against an eluting organic substance that a packaging material inherently contains, and odors generated by decomposition of a package-constituting resin and the like, at the time of sterilization/disinfection treatment, and is excellent in resistance to an odor-taste change for the liquid contents; and a package for liquid contents, produced using the sealant film. A sealant film for packaging liquid contents includes at least an odor adsorption layer, wherein the sealant film is formed from a resin composition containing low-elution polyethylene, the odor adsorption layer is formed from a resin composition containing the low-elution polyethylene and an odor adsorbent, a concentration of eluting TOC contained in a film formed from the low-elution polyethylene is 1.5 ppm or higher and 250 ppm or lower, and the odor adsorbent is an inorganic porous material carrying a chemical adsorbent thereon; and a packaging material for liquid contents and a package for liquid contents are produced using the sealant film.
