  • Patent number: 8899283
    Abstract: A device for dividing up a volume of liquid contained in an original container by filling bottles that are smaller than the original container, including a source of pressurized gas, a first line running from the source of pressurized gas and opening into the original container so as to place it under pressure, and a line for withdrawing the contents of the original container, connecting the latter to one of the smaller bottles. A second line runs from the pressure source and ends in the smaller bottle to be filled. Means are provided for closing and opening the first and second lines and a member is provided for activating the means for closing/opening so as to open the second line then the pressurization line in sequence, and close these same lines in sequence in the reverse order.

  • Publication number: 20120240518
    Abstract: A machine for filling and crimping tubular vials is provided, which includes a horizontally mobile conveyor for moving the filled and crimped vials and discharging the same towards an outlet station. The carousel includes vertical through-holes defining cavities for the vials. The machine includes a ramp provided under the carousel on which the lower ends of the vials bear. The ramp includes a horizontal portion followed by an inclined portion for the partial descent of the vials before discharging the latter towards the outlet station. The he machine further includes a curved rail having a vertical end connected to the lower end of the inclined portion and another end leading horizontally into the outlet station. The machine can be used for packaging wine in tubular vials.
