    摘要: A collection assembly (10, 10a) for flowable materials includes a central, flexible bag (12, 12a) with a collection skirt (14, 14a) secured to the bag (12, 12a) and extending outwardly from the open top (20, 20a) of the bag (12, 12a). In use, the assembly (10, 10a) is placed at a collection site with the bag (12, 12a) in a collapsed condition and the skirt (14, 14a) is deployed about the bag (12, 12a). Material (36) is then placed on the assembly (10, 10a) over the open top (20, 20a) and, as necessary, the skirt (14, 14a). The skirt is then elevated using marginal gathering apparatus (16, 16a), thereby causing the material (36) to flow into the bag (12, 12a). The skirt (14, 14a) may then be gathered and closed, forming a duffel closure for the assembly (10, 10a).

    摘要: Modular apparatus for filling and closing randomly fed-containers including: a transport system for transporting the containers on at least a first transport plane along a respective article transport direction; a transport system transporting closing elements on a transport plane in a respective transport direction; a filling station; a closing station; an extraction system for transporting the filled and closed containers; first pick and place devices for picking up and positioning the containers; second pick and place devices for picking up and positioning said closing elements; a detection system which detects the position and the arrangement of the containers and the closing elements; a processing and control unit.
    The extraction system includes a plane, which is oriented parallel to the longitudinal direction for extraction of the containers and a transverse widthwise direction of the apparatus and on which the filled and closed articles are transported arranged with a predefined orientation and/or position.
