    Abstract: A pharmaceutical order filling system uses a physical parameter that occurs during attaching cap to a pharmaceutical container to determine if the cap is properly engaged. The physical parameter may be torque on the cap when placed on the container. An order processing device receives a pharmaceutical order and sends the order to a dispensing device that fills the container with a pharmaceutical in the pharmaceutical order. A cap device is configured to apply the cap the container containing the pharmaceutical from the dispensing device, wherein the cap device is configured to sense the physical parameter, e.g., torque, to the cap when applying the cap to the container.

    Abstract: A conveyor for a packaging apparatus comprising a conveyor having a conveyor belt (2) with a rotatable portion (12) comprising a plurality of sub-elements (17). Each one of the sub-elements (17) comprises first annular features and second annular features. The first annular features of a sub-element mate with the second annular features of an adjacent sub-element forming a coupling seat where a pin is inserted to rotatably connect the two adjacent sub-elements. The rotatable portion (12) carries driving pieces which are put into motion by a control mechanism such that upon displacement of the conveyor belt (2) a corresponding rotation by 90° or multiples thereof is imparted to the rotatable portion (12). A packaging apparatus using the above conveyor belt is also described.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a package for containing a product comprising a support (1) which has: a base (2) configured for receiving one or more products, a perimetral edge (6) which surrounds the base (2), a removable portion (21) extending as a prolongation of the perimetral edge (6) away from the base (2). The package further comprises: a closing film (10) engaged with a portion of the perimetral edge (6) and with the removable portion (21) for defining a housing compartment (22) for the product, a gripping portion (22) emerging from the perimetral edge (6); the removable portion (21) and at least a part of the closing film (10) are configured for being separated from the support (1) during an opening step of the package. The package is configured for defining a closing condition in which: the closing film in cooperation with the support (1) prevents access to the housing compartment (5), and the removable portion (21) is aligned with at least a portion (6a) of the perimetral edge (6) from which it extends as a prolongation. The removable portion (21) has a cavity (21a) the concavity whereof, at least in the closed condition of the package, faces the perimetral edge (6); the gripping portion (22) is disposed, at least in the closed condition of the package, within said cavity (21a). The present invention also relates to a process and an apparatus for making said package.
