Abstract: An apparatus for organizing containers in a centrifugal organizer apparatus is disclosed. The centrifugal organizer apparatus includes a centrifugal feeder, a tote dumper, and an exit ramp. The centrifugal feeder includes a conical diverter and an external wall adjacent to a circumference of the conical diverter. The centrifugal feeder is configured to rotate and create centrifugal force such that containers within the centrifugal feeder are directed to the external wall. The tote dumper includes at least one tote configured to release at least one container into the centrifugal feeder. The exit ramp is tangential to the external wall and is configured to allow the container under the centrifugal force to exit the centrifugal feeder.

Abstract: A component conveyance disk of a taping apparatus has a plurality of component transport units at an equiangular interval. Each component transport unit is formed of three component transport grooves in a peripheral portion of the component conveyance disk. Width direction centerlines of the respective component transport grooves are parallel to each other, with a portion thereof in a direction along the width direction centerlines opening toward a component storage chamber. Dimensions along the width direction centerlines of the opened portion of the respective component transport grooves are shorter than a length of the component. In addition, the respective component transport grooves have component guides that guide the components into the respective component transport grooves.

Abstract: In some embodiments, containers can be, for example, labeled with a uniquely identifiable customer label. The labeled containers can be loaded into a carrier that caries containers. The carrier can be transported to and from various stations by a transport system. The container carrier can travel through, for example, a solid pharmaceutical dispensing system where all or some of the containers in the carrier can be filled with a specific quantity of pharmaceutical product. The carrier can be transported to a capping and branding station where the containers can be capped and branded. The caps can be pre-branded, blank, or a combination of pre-branded and blank. Where at least some of the containers are branded with blank caps, a carrier and/or container can be transported to a branding station that can brand caps with cap labeling information (e.g., logos, graphics, artwork, text, etc.) that can be specific to each cap.
