  • Patent number: 12329192
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for automatic infusion of concentrate and distillate material into cigarettes or other containers. In one embodiment, a thermally-controlled infusion system is provided. The system can maintain a selected temperature of the concentrate material throughout the infusion process, using a two-stage approach. In a first stage, the concentrate material is pressure-fed to a dosing chamber. In the second stage, the concentrate material is pumped into an insertion canula and into a cigarette or container. A revolver houses the cigarettes or containers and vertically transitions them to an insertion position, where the insertion canula can infuse the cigarettes or containers.

  • Publication number: 20250072478
    Abstract: A system configured to apply adhesive to prerolled cigarettes can include an adhesive tank, spraying chamber, adhesive nozzles, and spraying chamber heating component. The adhesive tank can hold a fluid adhesive material therein. The spraying chamber can include a bottom, one or more outer walls, and an upper opening to define an internal volume. The spraying chamber can receive prerolled cigarettes inserted into the internal volume during a spraying operation. The adhesive nozzles can be located within the internal volume to receive the fluid adhesive material from the adhesive tank and spray the fluid adhesive material onto the prerolled cigarettes inserted into the internal volume during the spraying operation. The spraying chamber heating component can heat the spraying chamber during the spraying operation. The system can be part of an overall system configured to process prerolled cigarettes that can also include prerolled cigarette holders and a fluidized bed coating station.

  • Publication number: 20250073925
    Abstract: A collet device configured to hold a separate object includes an enclosure, collet, and internal magnetic component. The enclosure can be configured to house internal components and can define an elongated shape having an enclosure opening at a distal end thereof. The collet can be situated within the enclosure and configured to accept a separate object inserted through the enclosure opening and into the collet. The collet can include a collet opening and a plurality of clamping components configured to actuate between an open position to release the separate object and a closed position to hold the separate object. The internal magnetic component can be within the enclosure and configured to facilitate actuation of the collet between the open and closed positions based on magnetic interactions between the internal magnetic component and a separate external activating magnetic component located outside the collet device and proximate the internal magnetic component.

  • Publication number: 20250072477
    Abstract: A system configured to process prerolled cigarettes can include one or more prerolled cigarette holders, an adhesive spraying station, and a fluidized bed coating station. The adhesive spraying station can apply adhesive to prerolled cigarette(s) held by the prerolled cigarette holder(s) and inserted therein. The fluidized bed coating station can apply a coating to prerolled cigarette(s) held by the prerolled cigarette holder(s) after the prerolled cigarette(s) have had adhesive applied thereto. The system can form cannabis based infused prerolled cigarettes. The prerolled cigarette holders can be magnetic collet devices. Additional system components can include a prerolled cigarette holder loading station, a robotic arm, and an end effector.

  • Patent number: 11851230
    Abstract: A system to automate the filling of electronic vape cartridges with viscous liquid. The system includes an enclosure sealed with removable panels for maintenance access, compartments to interface cartridges and liquids with the internal mechanisms, and an external human machine interface. The internal mechanisms utilize thermally insulative annular nozzles and a thermal control system to diminish the internal friction of the liquid to facilitate consistent transfer of liquid between a reservoir, heated by a heated bed, syringe assembly, comprising a heating element along a raceway, and empty cartridges inserted into the system. This system is capable of filling approximately 100 cartridges per minute, and may interface with cartridges of various configurations and formulations of varying composition and characteristics.

  • Patent number: 11065648
    Abstract: A system to automate the separation of agricultural products. The system includes an enclosure, sealed with permeable mesh to permit airflow and walled with non-porous material to prevent agricultural material from escaping the enclosure while allowing for flow to pass freely. This system is capable of separating material without mechanical interaction, such as with grippers or end effectors, and relies on air flow through the enclosure to create separation between the desired and undesired material using ballistic coefficient as a fundamental differentiator between constituent material of the agricultural products. This is accomplished with a variable speed fan which blows air through the enclosure, lifting and separating material based on the ballistic coefficient of that material and the flow settings. Dividers are used to separate and capture the products for retrieval at the conclusion of operation.
