A delivery system and method for levitation is disclosed. The delivery system includes an inlet trough; a queue aligned with the inlet trough; a blocker conduit aligned with the queue; a first blocker and a second blocker, each having an extension through the blocker conduit for selectively permitting passage through the blocker conduit, the extension of the first blocker spaced laterally along the blocker conduit from the extension of the second blocker; an exhaust conduit having an exhaust conduit receiver opening and an exhaust conduit exit opening, the exhaust conduit receiver opening aligned with a blocker conduit exit opening of the blocker conduit; and a force generator positioned near the base end and below the exhaust conduit receiver opening. A rolling object can exit through the exhaust conduit exit opening and levitate above the exhaust conduit exit opening. The delivery system can include a speed reducer.

The invention relates to a conveying system comprising a conveyor rail configured for conveying heat sources for aerosol-generating articles. The system further comprises a heat source detector configured to detect heat sources conveyed by the conveyor rail. The system further comprises a moving actuator. The moving actuator is configured to move the conveyor rail in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction. The moving actuator is configured to move the conveyor rail if the heat source detector detects absence of heat sources for a predetermined time.

A method for producing a tube segment and a tube for an evacuated tube transport system and a method for producing the tube segment.

A method for producing a tube segment and a tube for an evacuated tube transport system and a method for producing the tube segment.

A glove collecting device includes a guiding member including an internal space, an inlet at one end, and an outlet at the other end; and an adaptor member disposed externally of the outlet and including a hollow connector distal the outlet, and a channel through the connector for communicating with the space of the guiding member.

Disclosed is a plant for processing packaging sealing elements having a peripheral edge, the plant comprising a processing area and a device for transporting the packaging sealing elements, the device comprising a slide having two opposite longitunal rims slidingly receiving two opposite portions of the peripheral edge of each sealing element, and a means for moving the sealing elements along the slide, characterised in that the device comprises at least one transverse blowing nozzle mounted in a hole of one of the rims of the slide in order to eject a flow of air towards the opposite rim, the transverse nozzle being associated with a control element for selectively authorising or interrupting the air supply of the transverse blowing nozzle and in that the slide has a first section upstream of the processing area, a second section in the processing are and a third section downstream of the processing area, the transverse blowing nozzle being mounted on the second section.
