20090071099 | Packaging machine - A packaging machine and a method for the production of packages by the packing of material for packing in packages, by means of at least one processing station, such as a sealing station, a cutting station or similar and a weighing station (8) for determination of the weight of the filled and sealed packages (7), permitting less space requirement than conventional packaging machines and improved manipulation, are disclosed. According to the invention, the above is achieved, whereby the weighing station (8) and /or the at least one processing station comprise a controller, by means of which the working speed of the weighing station (8) may be synchronized with the working speed of the previous processing station. | 03-19-2009 |
20100089003 | SEAL INTEGRITY FOR MAILPIECE ENVELOPES - A method, system and article for producing an envelope having improved seal integrity. A method includes the steps of: disposing at least one material at the interface of the adhesive seal between the flap and the body portion of the envelope, which material radiates thermal energy when combined with an activating agent. The envelope is then sealed by closing the flap onto the body portion of the envelope and combining the material with the activating agent at the sealing interface so as to change the thermal energy radiated therefrom. The seal is then inspected to determine whether the thermal energy radiated from the activated material has changed thereby confirming that a seal has been produced between the flap and body portion of the envelope. The system and article are directed to the various modules of a mailpiece fabrication system employed to produce the mailpiece including an inspection module for confirming that a seal has been formed. | 04-15-2010 |
20120159897 | APPARATUS FOR HANDLING A FILM-TYPE COVER STRIP ON A PACKING MATERIAL WEB FOR A PACKAGING CONTAINER - The invention relates to a device ( | 06-28-2012 |
20140026520 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR FILLING AND RESEALING - Apparatus for filling containers having stoppers that are penetrable for filling the containers with a substance, and thermally resealable for thermally sealing the resulting hole. A container support supports at least one such container in a substantially fixed position during filling and resealing. A manifold drivingly mounted over the container support comprises (1) a cartridge including a filling needle for penetrating the resealable stopper and introducing a substance therethrough into the container, a mount for mounting the cartridge on the manifold, and a removable cover releasably coupled to the mount for covering the filling needle during transportation, installation and/or removal of the cartridge from the manifold. The manifold includes a thermal source for heating a penetrated region of the stopper and, sealing the hole. | 01-30-2014 |
20150291298 | Remote Packing System - A cost-effective system and method of sealing that may be a pack adapted to be distributed from an aircraft in the event of a natural, military, political, or other disaster is described herein. The system comprises a conveyor belt and a sealing mechanism positioned above the conveyor belt. The sealing mechanism is comprised of a motor, a drive shaft rotated by the motor, an eccentric hub coupled to the drive shaft, a drive link coupled to the eccentric hub and adapted to translate rotational motion into liner motion, a pivot arm coupled to the drive link, and a sealing bar coupled to the pivot arm and adapted to seal the packages as the packages pass under the sealing mechanism. | 10-15-2015 |

20100223884 | AUTOMATED CLIPPERS - Pivotable clipper assemblies for attaching at least one closure clip to a product held in netting include a pivotable clipper mechanism having a clipper body configured to deliver clips to a clip window and attach the clips to netting and a first cutting cartridge mounted to the pivotable clipper mechanism. The first cutting cartridge includes: (a) a knife; (b) an actuation cylinder with a rod in communication with the knife that advances and retracts the knife; and (c) an anti-rotation block attached to a rear of the knife intermediate the knife and rod to inhibit the knife and rod from rotating, wherein, in operation, the first cutting cartridge pivots with the clipper mechanism. | 09-09-2010 |
20140020330 | PACKAGING MACHINE - A packaging machine including a supply of film for wrapping a package and a hot plate for heat fusing the film of a wrapped package. Power to the heating element is only delivered to the element during a heating cycle, thus conserving electrical power. A photo eye senses the package and a control circuit energizes the heating element the element reaches a desired heating temperature in 2 to 4 seconds. The frame of the machine includes a lower base member to which an upper base plate, preferably formed from a continuous sheet, is rigidly attached. The upper plate includes a support surface for the hot plate, a vertical wall to which the photo eye is attached that is interconnected with the support surface by a curved transition surface. The upper base plate also includes a lateral, rearwardly extending plate portion which defines at least a portion of a hardware enclosure. | 01-23-2014 |
20140352253 | Ultrasonic Sealing Apparatus For Use In Bag Filling And Packaging Machine - A horn and an anvil are moved toward and away from each other by axially reciprocating a driving rod and thereby reciprocatingly rotating a forked lever in a predetermined angle range. The horn and the anvil are moved toward and pressed against each other with a predetermined force with a bag mouth b held therebetween. A sensor detects the position of a second mounting block secured to the rear end of a sliding shaft of the anvil, thereby detecting the distance between respective pressing surfaces and of the horn and the anvil, i.e. the thickness m of a portion of the bag mouth held between the pressing surfaces and. When the thickness m is not less than a predetermined threshold value M, a vibrator is activated to perform sealing. When the thickness m is less than the threshold value M, no sealing is performed. | 12-04-2014 |
20150314900 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CAPPING - Method and systems for capping are described. In one embodiment, an order processing device, a cap device, a plurality of feeders and a capping implement are provided. The order processing device processes orders with containers. The cap device is adapted to cap the container and is communicatively connected to the order processing device. The cap device is adapted to receive dispensation preferences from the order processing device. The cap device includes a plurality of feeders and a capping implement. Each feeder has a unique type of crown portion of a cap for capping. The capping implement is adapted to grasp the crown portion from the feeder.
