A rotary tank assembly is provided for a liner. The liner is structured to apply a compound to a plurality of container closures. The rotary tank assembly includes a compound tank, a fill tube structured to fill the tank with a volume of the compound to a desired level, a sensor assembly adapted to measure the level of the compound within the compound tank, and a rotary union assembly structured to pivotably couple the fill tube and the sensor assembly to the compound tank. The sensor assembly only requires one single probe.

Systems and methods are provided for a valve shut-off system of a medical device. In one embodiment, the valve shut-off system of the medical device includes a first pin movable between a first position where a valve is opened and a second position where the valve is closed, the first pin including a slot, and a second pin having a mating geometry with the slot of the first pin, the second pin adjustable between a locked position that holds the first pin in the first position and an unlocked position that enables movement of the first pin between the first position and the second position.

The invention relates to a method (100) for preserving a foodstuff in a hydrogen atmosphere in a packaging (200) comprising an interior space (220) enclosed by a hydrogen-permeable and airtightly sealable casing (210), the interior space (220) comprising a foodstuff space (221) for receiving the foodstuff and a hydrogen space (222) for receiving hydrogen gas, the foodstuff space (221) and the hydrogen space (222) being at least gas-conductively connected to one another, and the casing (210) or a sleeve (230) surrounding the hydrogen space (222) being dimensionally stable at a negative pressure in the hydrogen space (222) relative to an environment of the packaging (200) of at least 100 mbar. The method comprises at least the following steps: filling (110) the foodstuff at least into the foodstuff space (221), introducing (120) hydrogen gas at least into the hydrogen space (222), airtightly sealing (130) the casing (210) after the filling (110) and introduction (120), and generating (140) a negative pressure at least in the hydrogen space (222) relative to an environment of the packaging (200). The invention further relates to a packaging for use in a method according to the invention and to such use.

A filling element includes a filling-level sensor having an oscillating body disposed to interact with fluid that is in a container being filled. A change in the oscillation of the body, triggered either electromechanically or by fluid flow, provides information indicative of filling level.

A valve assembly for a machine for filling containers with a liquid has an adduction conduit extending along a valve axis and connectable to a tank of the filling machine to allow inflow of the liquid through a discharge mouth. A shutter arranged inside the adduction conduit and moving along the valve axis between a closing position and one or more opening positions has an annular gasket that with the shutter in the closing position sealingly engages an abutment seat. The annular gasket has a first annular portion for sealingly engaging a first portion of the abutment seat, and a second annular portion for sealingly engaging a second portion of the abutment seat. At least one flow window interrupts an annular continuity of the second annular portion and allows a partialized flow of liquid through the adduction conduit when the first annular portion is spaced apart from the abutment seat.
