2.1 MACHINE DESCRIPTION
This machine, which operates with a continuous work cycle, is designed to form liners made of thermoplastic material
inside caps.
The work cycle begins with the plastic material coming out of the extruder. A plastic pellet of a pre-determined size
is then cut and placed inside the cap. The liner is then formed by the movement of a mechanical system and the
resulting product is checked for quality.
The main parts of the machine are indicated in the illustration below.
The machine can be equipped with a vision system for inspecting the top (crown skirt + liner) and bottom (decoration)
of the caps.
Detailed instructions regarding the vision system are found in the relevant manual.
