Abstract: A system and method of continuously forming, sealing, and filling flexible packages with sterile beverages is disclosed wherein the forming, sealing, and filling is performed without stopping or indexing the packages in order to achieve high throughput rates and efficiency. A web feeding device inputs sheet material into the system, which is continuously formed into a series of juxtaposed shaped packages in a forming unit. The packages are formed by a folding technique resulting in top and bottom gussets, and sealed side seams with an open top for filling thereof with liquid. The entire web of formed packages is transported through a filling device, which continuously fills the packages while in web form. The top fill openings of the packages are then sealed in a continuous process, and fabrication within an aseptic or ultra-clean environment is thereby completed. Post-treatment of the packages outside of the aseptic environment, but in a clean environment, then may proceed. Such post-treatment may include the securing of drinking straws to the packages, severing of the package into individual packages, and secondary packaging of the individual packages into cases or multi-pacs.

Abstract: The invention concerns with ammunition and may be used for manufacturing cartridges of rifle arms and other kinds of ammunition, as well as for improving characteristics of sniper riffle barrels. The basic task of the invention is improvement of the cartridge design by the following way: an additional covering on a bullet made on the basis of a film-forming organic carrier with filling substance on the basis of the products of hydrate dehydration containing oxides provides improvement of close grouping of shooting; the adverse conditions of weapon storage render less influence on this characteristic, that indicates the stabilization of barrel channel parameters and increase of weapon survivability. The application of REVITALIZANT-XADO as an additional covering allows fastening the process of leveling, smoothing of barrel channels and achieving improvement of close grouping of shooting from 30% up to 44.5% and more. Meeting the requirements of the weapon exploitation technical specification and of the maintenance instruction permits the regenerative effect to progress and to reach 60% according to the criterion of close grouping of shooting both during the storage and the further operation.
