Lidding machine for penetrating or capping lids. Interlocking of specific products.
Cans arrive on an infeed conveyor that also serves as an outfeed conveyor. They are placed in a carousel using an infeed star wheel, while on the outfeed a second star wheel returns them to the conveyor. Unlike the C7b, the C7d lidding machine has a second turntable at the top and receives lids from an air conveyor. These are gradually lowered by cam-operated pushers so as to be properly fitted to the cans.
By design, this machine can also be used to interlock or assemble certain products into each other.
Strengths:
very robust cam-operated pusher system,
number of recesses chosen on each lidding machine to allow speeds from modest to very high,
fast format change through limited tool change and quick locks,
adjustment to product height by manual or electrical movements,
proven experience
