The disclosure relates to a method for unpacking and separating infusion bags into singles for supplying the bags to a device for further processing. It includes the following steps: Opening an outer packaging, in which the infusion bags are present, by an opening device, wherein the infusion bags are fastened in groups to a holding device inside the outer packaging. Separating the group of infusion bags, which are fastened to the holding device, from the outer packaging by a separating device. Position the holding device with the infusion bags fastened thereon in a transport device by a positioning device. Processing the infusion bags by device for further processing.

The invention relates to a filling and closing device () for an applicator for active substances () and to a method for filling and closing such an applicator for active substances () by means of such a filling and closing device (). The applicator for active substances () comprises an applicator tube () that overlaps the sealing edge (), at least in part. The filling and closing device () comprises a receiving element () for the lower part () of the applicator for active substances (), having a circumferential pressure surface () and a receiving channel () for the applicator tube (), said receiving channel extending below the pressure surface (). The receiving element () is constructed of at least two parts, having a base element () and a cover element () that is movable with respect to the base element (). After completion of the filling and sealing process, the cover element () is moved relative to the base element (), such that the receiving channel () formed therebetween is exposed. The filled and sealed applicator for active substances () can then be easily removed from the receiving element () by way of the applicator tube ().

An engagement head for engaging a porous substrate includes at least two pin sets, each pin set including a plurality of pins arranged in a plurality of parallel pin rows at a predetermined pin angle, wherein pins of immediately neighboring pin rows are arranged such that pin angles for the pins in a pin row are inversely symmetrical to pin angles for the pins in a neighboring pin row. The pins of a pin row move collectively in the same direction when a pin set is extended, which direction is determined by the pin angle of the pin row, whereby neighboring pin rows move in opposite longitudinal directions from one another when the pin set is extended. The pin sets may be extended and retracted in unison by a single actuation source.
