Caps Slitting & Folding systems

The functional importance of the closure tamper evident band makes the slitting and folding machine an extremely important piece of machinery, as this process has an impact on closure performance and bottling line efficiency.

Caps slitting system

Closure bridges can be made either directly into the mould during the cap forming phase, or by slitting process in a post moulding stage. The possibility of changing the slitting configuration (number of bridges, thickness of bridges, etc..) has an impact, amongst others, on flexibility and on bridges breaking force, thus fulfilling end users requirements

NOMINAL MAX CLOSURE DIAMETER	mm	63	63
MAX CLOSURE HEIGHT	mm	25	25
OUTPUT	pcs/min	UP TO 1000	UP TO 2400
AVERAGE ABSORBED POWER (AT MAX THROUGHPUT)	kW/Kg	3.5	3.5

FLM12 - caps folding system

“Flap” or “corrugated” bands in plastic caps help during the capping phase and properly match with the bottle locking ring. Such bands need a folding process to be performed after the making of the cap.

Caps scoring & folding system

This solution provides both the scoring operation and the folding one in a combined, cost-effective step.
The possibility of changing the slitting configuration (number of bridges, thickness of bridges, etc..) has an impact, amongst others, on flexibility and on bridges breaking force, thus fulfilling end users requirements. On the other hand, “flap” or “corrugated” bands in plastic caps help during the capping phase and properly match with the bottle locking ring.
