Automatic sealing machine MECAS

MECAS is an acronym for “Machine for Eurohead Cap Assembling and Sealing”. Multiple hot-runner injection units and multi-cavity mould allow sealing of caps, limiting line losses and optimizing production. The containers produced by the BFS machine are hermetically sealed and sterile but they might still need additional closure to facilitate dispensing (caps, rubber disk, connector etc). One of such closure is Euro Cap. The Euro Cap can be automatically assembled, inserted and sealed on the top of the bottles by the MECAS machine. Apart from Euro Cap, many different types of additional closures are available and it is important to choose the right kind of closure as the cost of additional cap and rubber disk could be considerable, and one such time tested alternative is our patented Ecohead Closure. The MECAS unit enables: • Assembling the Eurohead Cap from its basic components (basic components are Plastic Caps, and Rubber disk). • Orientation of the assembly caps in such a way that the injection point of the rubber disk falls away from the parting line (optional). This is an important step because it is difficult to insert the spike in the area where the sealing is located. • Placing a drop of water for injection on a both the sides of rubber disk (optional). • Placing the assembled cap onto the plastic bottle. • Sealing the cap to the bottle by injection moulding. The injected ring of plastic gives a perfect seal and visual indication of sealing. The perfect seal would ensure that liquid from the bottle would not come out even if the spike is removed.
