    摘要: A device (1) for moving a group of containers (A) for pharmaceutical or biotechnological use, between chambers (11, 12) with a controlled atmosphere comprising a support structure (7), supports (2) configured to accommodate containers (A) with an exposed part (B), a guide (3) for guiding the supports (2), rotationally coupled to the support structure (7), first rotating means (4) of the guide (3) and movement means (5) of the supports along the guide (3). The guide (3) rotates to locate the exposed parts (B) of the containers (A) in one of the chambers (11, 12) and the movement means (5) vary the distances (D) between the supports (2), preferably by means of a main body (51) which is rotationally coupled to the guide (3) and which comprises an external surface (52) on which tracks are formed (53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60). Also described are an apparatus (100) and a method for producing pharmaceutical or biotechnological articles.

    摘要: The present invention provides a pipe for transferring powder material from a reservoir to a container e.g. prior to hot isostatic pressing. The pipe comprises a continuous outer wall and a concentric continuous inner wall enclosed within and spaced from the outer wall. The spacing between the inner and outer walls defines a flow channel extending from an inlet to an outlet. The radial cross sectional area of the outlet is greater than the cross sectional area of the inlet.

    摘要: Systems and methods for packaging food products, such as fruits, vegetables, and meats. Specifically, the described methods relate to systems and methods for packaging food products in a manner that increases the products' shelf life. Generally, the methods begin by providing a food product. In some cases, debris is removed from the food product. To kill bacteria and other microbes on the food product, the food product is optionally washed in ozonated water. To deactivate enzymes within the food product, the food product is heated, though not necessarily cooked or blanched. The food product is then typically sealed in a barrier package containing between about 1 percent and about 50 percent oxygen, by volume. In some cases, the sealed package is then heated to between about 165 and about 285 degrees Fahrenheit to kill microbes in the sealed package. Other implementations are also described.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for settling a product in a package made on a form, fill and seal machine. In one aspect the invention comprises the steps: providing a package material on a product conduit of a form, fill and seal machine; forming a first end seal on the package material to form a partially formed package; filling the partially formed package with product; and settling the product in the partially formed package while continuously conveying the package material along the product conduit. In a second aspect, the invention comprises a product settler comprising a first object positioned to cause an impact against a package material. The impact agitates the package material and settles a product from an unsettled height to a settled height while the package material is continuously conveyed.
