  • Publication number: 20230113494
    Abstract: A sealing machine and method for controlling a sealing machine Includes the following steps: placing capped containers provided with a seal on plates, rotating the plates, pressing the seal against the cap of the container and fastening said seal using a sealing head. The step of rotating the plates is performed by rotating each plate independently of the other plates. The method further includes: detecting at least one parameter associated with the rotation of a plate and/or with a compression load between each sealing head and the seal, and comparing the value of the detected parameter with a reference range.

  • Patent number: 11492159
    Abstract: A system for transferring a group of components of electronic cigarettes from a first to a second operating station includes a conveyor extends from a feeding zone to a disengagement zone and has a plurality of seats. A feeding device receives the components and feeds them into the seats at a first mutual distance. A disengaging and transferring device operates to disengage the components from their seats and transfer the components to a collecting zone. A compacting device operates in the collecting zone to move the components closer together and place them at a second mutual distance that is smaller than the first mutual distance. A tray faces and receives from the collecting zone the group of components which have been placed close together. A pushing device pushes the components from the collecting zone into the tray. A movement device transfers the tray to the second operating station.

  • Publication number: 20220212820
    Abstract: A capping station has a first conveying system designed to move a plurality of full bottles; a second conveying system, arranged above the first conveying system, designed to move a plurality of caps; a capping device designed to pick up at least one cap from the second conveying system to apply the cap to a bottle carried by the first conveying system; and a heating unit comprising at least one heating device, a support beam carrying the heating device, a main operating device designed to move the support beam between a rest position in which the heating device is far from the bottles and a work position in which the heating device is close to the bottles to heat at least the neck of the bottles, and a safety operating device independent of the main operating device, designed to move the support beam between the work and rest positions.

  • Patent number: 11370566
    Abstract: A system for transferring a first group of components of electronic cigarettes from first to second operating stations includes a flat collecting surface extending from a feeding zone to a releasing zone. A feeding device receives the components and feeds them onto the collecting surface. A first abutment element abuts the first component of the first group. A second abutment element abuts the last component of the first group. A compacting and stabilizing device moves the components closer together and stabilizes their positions. A first movement device moves the first and second abutment elements along the collecting surface to transfer the first group to the releasing zone. A tray faces the releasing zone to receive the first group. A pushing device pushes the components from the releasing zone into the tray. A transferring device transfers the tray with the first group towards the second operating station.

  • Patent number: 9235772
    Abstract: Notebook comprising a plurality of pages (1) of paper bound together with a cover (2), in which a plurality of substantially vertical and/or substantially horizontal lines are printed on the pages (1) and are formed by a plurality of dots (5) aligned with each other, which have a maximum dimension, in particular diameter, comprised between 0.21 and 0.35 mm, the distance between two adjacent dots (5) of a same line being comprised between 0.43 and 0.7 mm and the color of the dots (5) being darker than the color of the page (1), in which the sum of the four quadrichrome CMYK values of the color of the page (1) is comprised between 0 and 20, in particular comprised between 10 and 20, with the K value less than 10, and the sum of the four CMYK values of the color of the dots (5) is comprised between 15 and 50, in particular between 25 and 40, with the value K less of 40. The present invention also relates to a method for digitizing notes by means of said notebook.

  • Patent number: 9222492
    Abstract: A fluid cooling device (1) as a structural unit has a drive motor (2) driving a rotatable fan impeller (3) and has a storage tank (4) with a filling opening (6) and a fill-level indicator (7). Fluid can be conveyed from the tank into a hydraulic working circuit. In the hydraulic working circuit, the fluid is heated and is cooled via a heat exchanger (5) of the structural unit, and returned into the storage tank (4). The structural unit is designed as a turning assembly in which the filling opening (6) for fluid and the fill-level indicator (7) are disposed on the storage tank (4) such that they can be used and read in a first vertical installation direction (X, Y) of the structural unit, and in a second installation direction (Y, X) inclined with respect to the first installation direction (X, Y), preferably at a right angle.
