摘要: An apparatus and methods for producing at extremely high production speeds small pouches filled with tobacco or other granular, powdered or solid content is provided. An endless web substrate, with or without flavor film thereon, is formed into a tubular shape with a longitudinal seam. The tube is cut to individual lengths, and a procession of tubes is crimp-closed at one end, filled and crimp-closed at the other end to complete pouch production. During production, the seams formed at the crimped ends of the pouch are parallel to one another and the longitudinal seam of the pouch is midway between the sides of the pouch and orthogonal to the seams formed at the crimped ends of the pouch.

摘要: A flipping station including a moving surface upon which an upside-down food item is placed and a ramp spaced from the moving surface so that a gap is defined between the moving surface and the ramp. The moving surface is moving at a sufficient speed so that the upside-down food item has sufficient momentum to travel past the gap and land on the ramp. A contact surface that is positioned past the gap at a contact position and is positioned above the ramp so that the upside-down food item is deflected backwards by the contact surface into the gap and the upside-down food item rotates 180° so as to land right-side up on a landing surface located below the ramp.

摘要: Automatic packager for pharmaceuticals and method of operating the same. The method includes receiving a prescription to be filled by a pharmacy management system and identifying one or more bulk containers that contain medications to fill the prescription. The method also includes counting, using a pre-counter, medications from the one or more bulk containers to fill the prescription and depositing the counted medications in one or more cartridges. The method also includes placing the one or more cartridges including the counted medications at an automatic packager and dispensing the medications in the one or more cartridges. The method also includes packaging medications dispensed from the one or more cartridges into packages and verifying whether the medications are correctly packaged.

摘要: Methods, systems and computer readable media are provided for automatic kitting of items. The system for automatic kitting of items includes a robotic device, a first imaging device, a computing device and a controller. The robotic device includes an arm with a robotic gripper at one end. The first imaging device is focused on a device conveying kitted items. The computing device is coupled to the first imaging device and is configured to process image data from the first imaging device. The computing device includes item arrangement verification software configured to determine whether each item desired to be in the kitted items is present or absent in the kitted items in response to the processed image data from the first imaging device and generates data based on whether an item desired to be in the kitted items is absent from the kitted items. The controller is coupled to the computing device to receive the data from the computer representing whether an item desired to be in the kitted items is absent from the kitted items. The controller is also coupled to the robotic device for providing instructions to the robotic device to control movement of the arm and the robotic gripper, wherein at least some of the instructions provided to the robotic device are generated in response to the item desired to be in the kitted items being absent from the kitted items.

摘要: A device for packaging elongated items that includes an upper platform for receiving the elongated items from a separate conveyor; a diverter mounted above the platform and two opposed elevator shafts having open bottoms. The elevator shafts are arranged laterally outward from outer edges of the platform and extend downward from the platform and are configured for receiving the elongated items after contact with the diverter and configured for holding the elongated items while a stack of elongated items is formed. The elevator shafts are provided with one or more support structures configured to hold the stack of elongated items as the stack is formed and to release the stack of elongated items from the device after the stack is formed, with the release of the stack of elongated items from the elevator shafts occurring via the open bottoms of the elevator shafts.
