    Abstract: The technology described herein generally relates to an automated packaging apparatus and system that packages loose particles into a conical container as well as the final folded packages. More specifically, loose plant matter, such as crumbled dried leaves, are supplied to successive paper cones. The apparatus packs the crumbled leaves into the cones, closes the wide top portion of the cone into a precise shape, and then runs a quality control check to ensure that the final filled cone meets preset specifications.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a support unit intended for constituting part of a denesting apparatus, and for supporting a stack of trays, cups or other receptacles to be denested in the denesting apparatus. The support unit comprises a surface capable of displacing from a retracted position in relation to the stack of trays to a projected position in relation to the stack of trays, and vice versa, by operating a motorised actuator. The first and second surfaces (32,33) also is capable of displacing automatically from a projected position to a retracted position in relation to the stack of trays or cups by elevating the stack of receptacles. The first and second surfaces (32,33) is also capable of displacing automatically from the retracted position to the projected position in relation to the stack of trays or cups by the first and second surfaces (32,33) being biased by a spring load. The invention also relates to a denesting apparatus and to a method for repositioning in a denesting apparatus a stack of receptacles such as trays or cups.

    Abstract: The invention concerns a blocking blade for intermittently preventing the separation of can lids with a first circular disc (2) which is disposed so as to rotate about an axis (100) and has a radius (r), and a second circular disc (3), likewise disposed so as to rotate about the axis (100). Over the greater part of its periphery, the disc (3) has a larger radius (R) than the first disc and, over a smaller part of its periphery, a recess (4) with a radial depth of approximately (R-r) over the entire thickness and dimensions in the peripheral direction such that a can lid (11) to be separated can abut tangentially in this recess without having to come into contact with the edges (5, 6) of the recess. One of the two edges (5 or 6) of the larger part is formed in the manner of a knife-edge (7) towards the recess. The blocking blade can be combined with a separating blade to form a can lid separating device, the blocking blade enabling the separation of the can lids to be prevented intermittently. The blocking blade can engage from a rest position (A) in an arcuate manner in the gap between a lower lid and the next lid lying therebelow.
