    摘要: An apparatus for emptying bags includes a cutting mechanism, wherein cut bags are separated from the contents therein on a bag support, a bag disposal mechanism including a vacuum unit to deliver the bags to a disposal unit. The cutting mechanism includes first and second cutting devices arranged to cut the bags along at least two cut directions, in relation to a longitudinal direction along which the bags are conveyed from the cutting mechanism, to cut a foldable flap in the material from which the bags are formed so that the flap can fold into openings of the bag support to empty the content through the openings. A related method for emptying bags is also disclosed.

    摘要: A high-speed automated separation apparatus comprising a pair of flexible discs, a driver to rotate the flexible discs, a feeder to position a rigid body at a first location between the flexible discs, a spreader and a converger operable upon the flexible discs such that opposing portions of the flexible disc converge upon the positioned rigid body, whereupon the rotating flexible discs rotate the rigid body beyond the first location and content from the rigid body is expelled. The rigid body and the expelled content are then available for reuse.

    摘要: The invention relates to a device (100) for testing a connection of a guarantee strip (3.1) of a security seal of a closure lid (1.1) having a lid main body (2.1), which device comprises a driver element (180) for gripping the guarantee strip (3.1) and a stop element (780) for the lid main body (2.1). The driver element (180) and the stop element (170) are movable relative to each other such that a tear-off force can be exerted on the guarantee strip (3.1). The device (100) also comprises a force-measuring device (171), for measuring the tear-off force during the relative movement of the guarantee strip (3.1) and the lid main body (2.1), and a separating device (191, 192) for severing the guarantee strip (3.1) after it has been tom off from the lid main body (2.1). This allows the guarantee strip (3.1) to be severed and thereby results in a considerable simplification of the removal of the guarantee strip (3.1) from the testing device, in particular if the testing device is designed such that the tom-off guarantee strips (3.1) are slid onto the stop element (170). The device (100) can be operated in a fully automatic manner and can be integrated in a system for producing closure lids having guarantee strips.

    摘要: An apparatus and method are presented for removing container covers within a controlled environment enclosure without using gloves. The apparatus comprises an articulated arm apparatus and a gripping apparatus and can further comprise a controller. The articulated arm apparatus can be configurable for holding and moving a container in three dimensions; and the gripping apparatus can be configured for gripping a container cover sealing the container. The method comprises moving the container using the articulated arm apparatus while holding a gripping area of the container cover substantially stationary using the gripping apparatus. The apparatus can further comprise a sensor configured for supplying information to the controller for determining the location of the container cover gripping area and an orientation of the container cover. The method can further comprise inspecting the container cover using the sensor. The container can be moved along a path and within a space determined by the controller.

    摘要: An integrated cap rotation equipment includes a cap rotation module supporter and a cap rotation module. The cap rotation module includes a cap rotation device, an integrated connecting device and an optical detector. The cap rotation device is used to open a sealing cap of at least one chemical storage container, and the integrated connecting device is used to connect an opening of the chemical storage container to extract a chemical liquid from the chemical storage container and return the chemical liquid to the chemical storage container. The optical detector is disposed between the cap rotation device and the integrated connecting device, and is used to detect the position of the sealing cap of the chemical storage container, so that the cap rotation device and the integrated connecting device are able to align with the sealing cap and the opening, respectively.
