Abstract: A rotary sealing apparatus for a blister packaging machine is disclosed. The rotary sealing apparatus includes a guide plate adapted to support a movement of a base foil having a plurality of blister pockets. The rotary sealing apparatus includes a counter sealing roller adapted to rotate to advance the base foil in a direction away from the guide plate and a sealing roller adapted to feed a seal foil between the counter sealing roller and the sealing roller. The counter sealing roller includes a plurality of cavities adapted to accommodate the plurality of blister pockets. The rotary sealing apparatus includes a cavity alignment unit disposed on the guide plate and adapted to align the plurality of blister pockets with the plurality of cavities. The cavity alignment unit is adapted to clamp the base foil on the guide plate to stretch the base foil to align the plurality of blister pockets with the plurality of cavities.

Abstract: A reinforcement pillar assembly and a method for manufacturing such assembly for a machine are disclosed. The reinforcement pillar assembly includes a cover panel formed of a polymer material. The cover panel includes an outer surface and an inner surface adapted to face in a direction towards a wall of the machine housing. Further, the reinforcement pillar assembly includes at least one support pillar formed of a metallic material. The at least one support pillar is adapted to be coupled to the cover panel. The at least one support pillar includes a first planar extension and a second planar extension. The first planar extension is adapted to be coupled to the inner surface of the cover panel. The second planar extension is adapted to abut the wall of the machine housing. A gap is defined between the inner surface of the cover panel and the wall of the machine housing.

Abstract: Systems and methods for continuous production of filled capsules. The system includes a continuous blender for receiving and continuously blending ingredients discharged from one or more feeders to form a blended mixture. The system includes a capsule filling machine to receive empty capsules and fill the mixture in them to provide filled capsules. The system includes multiple sensors configured at predefined positions within the system to monitor the attributes associated with the ingredients, mixture, empty capsules, and filled capsules. The system includes a control unit to control the feeders, blender, capsule filling machine and other components of the system to bring the attributes within a predefined range to ensure that the filled capsules are of predefined quality.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a blender having blades whose orientation angle is changeable, even while the blender is in operation. The blender 100 includes a housing 110 with inlets (140a, 140b) to allow inflow of ingredients and an outlet (140c) to allow outflow of blended ingredients. The blender 100 incorporates an external shaft 122 with the blades 123 rotatably coupled to it, and an internal shaft 121 inside the external shaft 122. The blender 100 incorporates a first driving unit 130 to rotate the external shaft 122 and blades 123 about a direction along a length of the housing 110 to allow blending of the ingredients. The internal shaft 121 having engaging means coupled to back of the blades 123 such that a linear displacement of the internal shaft 121 using a second driving unit 121, enables change in orientation of the blades 123.
