An apparatus for sequentially applying panels or row of plastic caps to groups of cans or jars, which comprises: a feeding path for panels of caps, which is arranged above a belt conveyor arranged to feed a sequence of cans, already filled with product and sealed and belonging to a can packaging line; means for blocking each panel of caps at the end of the feeding path; and pressure means for applying each panel or row of caps to a group of cans being fed on the belt conveyor.
An inventive method, system and apparatus are provided for syringe handling, and more particularly, for syringe labeling, filling and capping operations. To facilitate syringe handling, an inventive apparatus includes a plurality of syringe bodies interconnected in a predetermined orientation by a belt. Such belt may be of pliable construction and may define a predetermined spacing in between adjacent ones of the syringe bodies, such predetermined spacing corresponding with a distance between holders provided in a handling apparatus. The syringe handling apparatus may provide for the placement of contents-related information on belt segments between adjacent syringe bodies and for separating the belt segments, wherein a flap is left interconnected to each syringe body. The syringe handling apparatus may alternatively or also provide for automated filling of the syringe bodies wherein cap removal, filling and cap replacement operations are completed free from manual handling.
