Abstract: At a first station 202, flexible material 204 is deformed into a predetermined configuration defined by a mould recess 210. This configuration corresponds to the internal configuration of one of two housing parts 136, 138, situated at a second station 206. The deformed region of the flexible material 204 is advanced to the second station and secured between the housing parts 136, 138, to form a flexible partition within the container so formed.
Abstract: The flow rate of a fluid, such as a herbicide, from delivery equipment is established by causing the fluid to flow into a calibration vessel (14), and measuring the volume which flows in a predetermined time. The vessel (14) is connected to a delivery head (8) of the equipment by an intermediate component (16). A tube (54) provides a passage for venting air from the vessel (14) as fluid flows into it. After a calibration measurement, the fluid can be returned to the equipment by inverting the equipment. The outgoing fluid is then replaced by air flowing back through the tube (54).
