| 20100175352 | AUTOMATED PHARMACEUTICAL PRODUCT PACKAGING, INSPECTION, VERIFICATION, AND COUNTING APPARATUS - The present invention is an automated packaging apparatus utilizing a rotating assembly of elongated slats containing cavities to receive discrete pharmaceutical, vitamin, or food products. Quantities of discrete products such as tablets, capsules, or gels are deposited into the hopper of the apparatus. The apparatus then dispenses the discrete products into containers moving on a conveyor system such that each container receives a predetermined quality and quantity of pharmaceutical, vitamin, or food products. While operating at high speed, the apparatus inspects, counts, identifies and analyzes each product deposited into the containers and maintains electronic records describing the status of each product. In the event any errors occur the apparatus produces various alerts to inform the operator. The presence of foreign products or objects may cause the apparatus to instantly stop the entire system including peripheral equipment. A series of Good Manufacturing Practice protocols can then be enforced as per FDA requirements. | 07-15-2010 |

| 20120144784 | Cargo Sealing-Package Apparatus - A cargo sealing-package apparatus comprises a larger plastic film coated with a layer of adhesive and an appropriate-thick paper base board, both larger than a cargo, and cushion elements with elasticity are adapted to protrusions extending from the cargo. The cargo is first placed flat onto the base board and, together, moved to a conveying platform of a preparation area (a cargo-feeding zone) to be transported into a working area (a vacuum-molding zone) and lifted upwards via an ascending/descending machine into a vacuum-heating area, bringing up air to inflate the plastic film undergoing pre-heating operation. Then, the air is drawn out to thermo-seal the plastic film around the shape of the cargo and adhere it in vacuum-binding onto the surface of the base board. Finally, the cargo accurately bound in a vacuum space is moved to a cargo-outlet area, achieving the benefits of anti-shock, humid-proof, dustproof, and anti-oxidized functions thereby. | 06-14-2012 |
