TOOLING & TOOL OPTIONS
Pre Cut Lid.
Lids are stored on the side of the tool. A pick and place removes the lids from the base of the pile,
or the piles, via suction cups, then position the lid on the sealing profiles. Suction cups retain the lid
in position. To use this tool the machine has to be predisposed with the pre cut lid shuttle.
Inside Cut.
This option allows the tool to cut the film inside of the perimeter of the tray. Such solution can be
used to:
Avoid film protruding the edge of the tray
To run cups or trays with protrusions or handles from round sealing profile,
without need of keeping them aligned.
To seal special tray with sealing surface below the maximum height of the tray.
No predisposition is required.
Alum Foil Crimping.
This tool cuts a lid from a reel of aluminium and crimps it around the tray. The aluminium has to be
at least 40 micron thickness. No predisposition is required.
Pre Cut Lid Crimping.
Pre-shaped lids are stored in a side magazine. A pick and place system removes the lids from the
base of the pile, or the piles, via suction cups, then positions the lid on the sealing profiles. Suction
cups retain the lid in position. To use this tool the machine has to be predisposed with the pre cut lid
shuttle.
Double heater plate.
In case of aluminium tray, to decrease the required sealing time and to reduce the sealing
temperature, which damages the lid, a second heater plate is positioned in the bottom part of the
tool. Sealing profile is heated from the top and the bottom, sealing time is reduced by half the time
compared to a standard solution. A water cooled bottom plate avoids the transfer of the heat to the
main machine body. The machine has to be predisposed to run two independent heater plates.
