Abstract: A machine for manufacturing pouches containing a cohesionless material, including feed means for feeding the cohesionless material to a pick-up station, a transfer drum by which the material is picked up at the pick-up station and transferred to a release station, delivery means operating at the release station and by which portions of the material are delivered from the transfer drum through a duct toward a wrapping station at which the portions are sealed in pouches, and a mixer located at the pick-up station for performing a mixing action on the material at the pick-up station before the material is picked up by the transfer drum.

Abstract: A laser soldering device for laser soldering an electric circuit of a heating portion of an electronic cigarette, the soldering device including a head having an emitting area where a laser beam is emitted and a feeding device to feed a heating portion of an electronic cigarette along a feed path, where the heating portion faces the head at the emitting area. A movement device is operatively connected to the head to move the head between first and second points of the electric circuit such that the laser beam is perpendicular to the respective surface to be soldered at the first and second points to form first and second connections, respectively. The head generates two distinct pulses of the laser beam at the first and second points.

Abstract: A method for making electronic cigarette cartridges. The method includes a step of making the cartridges along a dedicated production line. The step of making the cartridges includes a step of making a casing by assembling one or more components along a first stretch of the production line and a step of making an electric module by assembling one or more electronic elements along a second stretch of the production line. The steps of making the casing and the electric module are steps which are synchronized and independent relative to one another. Once the steps of making the casing and the electric module are complete, the method includes a step of assembling the casing with a respective electric module to obtain the finished cartridge along a shared third stretch of the production line.
