Description
Manufacturing Features
- Basement in thick AISI 304 stainless steel plate with height adjustable feet.
- Conveyor belt with stainless steel table-top chain mounted on an antifriction section with adjustable side guides.
- Side belts for containers dragging and steadiness.
- Caps releasing and pre-screwing unit.
- Steam sprigging unit for steam injection in the space between the cap and the container thread in order to soften the gasket and take the air away from the container head space, thus allowing the vacuum formation inside the container after closure.
- Closing unit with variable speed flat belts.
- The caps releasing unit and screwing unit are adjustable independently (as regards also to the dragging belts) by hand-wheels with a very simple and rapid operation.
- Dragging and screwing belts centralised driving by geared motor.
- Drivings by independent geared motor, controlled and synchronised by inverter.
- Head lifting system by an electro-mechanical unit for machine’s head height adjustment according to the containers height with max. and min. automatic safety devices.
MAGNETIC FEEDER FOR TWIST-OFF CAPS composed of:
- Basement and feeding hopper in AISI 304 stainless steel, vertical magnetic elevator with belt in “vipla” which conveys the caps to the chute. The caps are then conveyed to the releasing group where they are picked by the containers.
- The absence of wrongly oriented capsules is granted by the presence of 3 control and expulsion groups which, by means of a side jet of air, expel the wrongly oriented caps and make them fall into the hopper.
- First control unit with photocell for sorting and expulsion of superimposed caps.
- Second control unit with proximity-switch for expulsion of wrongly oriented caps.
- Third control unit with proximity-switch for further checking of the possible presence of wrongly oriented caps and their expulsion.
- Ejection of incorrect capsules by lateral air jet and fall-back into the hopper.
- A control system commands the machine based on the capsule flow with the following modes:
- “Too full” control device on the caps’ feeding chute = magnetic feeder stops.
- “Too empty” control device on caps’ feeding chute = machine stops.
- Caps feeding = machine automatic re-starts.
- A control system commands the machine based on the capsule flow.
- Chute for the connection with the capper.
- Driving by adjustable speed motor.
- Electric control board in stainless steel.
- Manufactureing in AISI 304 stainless steel, except for some parts which are in a different material suitable for their functioning.
- The machine is adjustable in all its parts to treat twist-off caps and glass containers of different dimensions.
- After the start-up and first adjustments the machine does not need any operator intervention.
