    Abstract: A device for singulating open-ended objects includes: a housing (ISO) configured to retain a plurality of open-ended objects (c), the housing having an open lower end (162); an outer ring (102) positioned below the housing; a drum (120) positioned within the outer ring to form a drum assembly (180), the drum including a hub (122) having a substantially circular wall (124) and a plurality of wings (127) that extend radially outwardly from the wall to contact the outer ring, the hub, wings and outer ring forming a plurality of gaps; a mounting structure (170) with an exit aperture (172) fixed relative to the housing; and a rotary drive unit (190) mounted to the drum that rotates the drum about an axis of rotation. The presence of the wings can enable the device to singulate caps (c) more consistently.

    Abstract: A system for evaporating excess water from a source includes a housing (101) having: an air inlet (106), the air inlet (106) directing air in a first direction; an air outlet (118); a plurality of channels (110) arranged generally perpendicular to the first direction, the channels (110) having undulations (112); and a water reservoir (122) that feeds water into the channels (110). In some embodiments, baffles are created with walls (132) that depend from the ceiling (102) of the housing (101) and that are interdigitated with dividers (114) that separate the channels (114). This configuration can remove water generated by the source (such as an external compressor unit) in a quick and efficient manner.

    Abstract: A dispensing apparatus for dispensing articles includes a housing and a drive system. The housing defines a hopper chamber to hold the articles, a dispensing outlet, and a dispensing path between the hopper chamber and the dispensing outlet. The drive system includes a belt and a belt actuator operable to drive the belt. The dispensing apparatus is configured such that articles disposed in the hopper chamber are directed onto the belt and the belt, when driven by the belt actuator, conveys the articles received from the hopper chamber in a dispensing direction along the dispensing path toward the dispensing outlet to be dispensed.

    Abstract: An offloading unit for an automated pharmaceutical machine that dispenses filled, capped pharmaceutical vials includes: at least one chute including a receiving section and a pick-up section. The receiving section and the pic k-up section are divided by an inlet. The receiving section has a concave sl oping ramp and side walls. The pick-up section has a trough with a floor tha t slopes relative to a horizontal surface and a front wall at one end of the trough. The inlet is defined by a rear wall and the upper edge of the troug h. The chute also includes dividers mounted to and rising above the trough a nd attached to the rear wall. The inlet and dividers are configured and posi tioned such that an object as defined in UL 61010A-1, 1740 cannot pass throu gh the inlet from the trough.
