  • Publication number: 20210284372
    Abstract: An exemplary method of making packages includes advancing a web of connected bags to a position where an opening of the bag is below an engagement device and opening the engagement device. Additionally, the exemplary method includes blowing the opening of the bag to a partially opened configuration, and reverse indexing the web of connected bags so that a portion of the engagement device is disposed inside of the bag and a portion of the engagement device is disposed outside the bag. Subsequently, the exemplary method includes closing the engagement device so that the engagement device engages the bag and moving the engagement device to a position that causes the opening of the bag to have a rectangular shape.

  • Publication number: 20170261200
    Abstract: A system and method for the production and capturing of clean vapors from the vaporizing of a plant substance is described. The system includes a heating system configured to generate heat within a cooking unit. A temperature control system is configured to monitor the level of heat generated by the heating system. Both systems are regulated by a control unit. The control unit is configured to provide an interface for a user to regulate the performance of the temperature control system and the heating system. The cooking unit defines a fully enclosed volume to contain the heat generated. A valve body is in communication with the cooking unit and configured to regulate the release of gases within the cooking unit as it passes into a bag member. The bag member is used to capture released vapor generated by vaporizing the plant substance.
