Abstract
An output supply assembly includes a horizontal base. The base receives a container of a flowable material. A platen is positionable in the container. A pump feeds the flowable material from the container. A dispensing and handling assembly is provided. The dispensing and handling assembly includes two film-forming dies of similar configuration. Flowable material may be fed through the assembly to form film. A pair of film-movers are beneath the film-forming dies. A pair of cohesion dies are provided beneath the film-movers. An injector is located above the film-movers. In this manner the periodic dispensing of particulate material is allowed. Containers are formed upon the solidification of the flowable material moving between the cohesion dies. A pair of hoses is provided between the output supply assembly and the dispensing and handling assembly. A control assembly couples the output supply assembly and the dispensing and handling assembly.
