Abstract: Techniques and systems for seaming containers are described herein. The canning system can include a seamer assembly and a seamer controller. The seamer assembly includes a load cell assembly which weighs the containers and communicates with the seamer controller to determine if the container is to have a lid seamed onto the container based on the satisfaction of a predetermined weight criteria. The seamer controller is designed to receive weight measurements of the container, determine a weight criteria and whether the container has satisfied the weight criteria, command the seamer assembly whether to seam a lid to the container based on the satisfaction of the weight criteria, and send a command to the reject station to remove the container if the weight criteria is not satisfied.

Abstract: Methods for manufacturing a plastic container and for filling it with a fill product are described. The methods include introducing a perform into a blow mold, pressuring the preform with a blowing medium, evacuating the interior space of the container to an underpressure, and introducing a fill product in the interior space at an overpressure.

Abstract: Affords a compound semiconductor substrate packaging method for preventing oxidation of the surface of compound semiconductor substrates.

Abstract: A workstation of a packaging machine comprises a lifting device (100) which is configured such that it is able to convert a rotary motion of a motor (8) into a translatory motion of the workstation by means of a lever device (6). It is the object of the present invention to provide in improved lifting device. The stroke of the lifting device (100) is performable for this purpose by a pivotable lever (61) and a roller (32) which cooperates with an upper roller limit (33).

Abstract: The apparatus comprises a powder dispenser portion with an outlet port which opens into a loading chamber. A slide gate valve assembly selectively closes the port and a disc valve assembly is provided above the slide gate valve assembly. Containers are loaded into the loading chamber and are located beneath the port and are then purged with inert gas. The slide gate valve assembly and disc valve assembly are then opened to allow container to be filled with ultra fine powder.

Abstract: An automatic packing machine for conditioning bags under conditioned atmosphere, in which the sealing operation of the bags occurs inside a pneumatically insulated space that is composed by a conditioning chamber which contains the already conditioned bag, and by a sealing chamber which contains the sealing equipment, after that the chambers have been put in communication through the opening of the lid of the conditioning chamber.

Abstract: An aseptic packing machine comprising an enclosure defining a space swept through by a stream of sterile air and means for producing said stream of air. A station for producing containers, a filling station, a closing station and a transfer device cooperating with said stations are disposed inside the enclosure. The moving mechanical parts of said stations and said transfer device which are capable of being contaminating are located outside the part of said space which is maintained non-contaminating by said stream of sterile air.

Abstract: Thermoplastic containers are filled with materials such as particulate solids or liquids under vacuum and hermetically sealed in rapid succession by an apparatus having a means for evacuating the container, means for filling and hermetically sealing the evacuated containers while retaining the vacuum.
