Definitions

  • the problem addressed by the present invention is thus to make available a sealing system of containers which solves the problems inherent to the equipment of the prior art.
  • seals or caps are entirely moved by retaining and carrying members, thus preventing steps in which they are subject to freely falling upstream of the releasing point of the cap onto the mouth of the container, - continuous sterilization of the sealing material web (typically plastic-coated aluminum) before cutting for forming seals or caps.
  • sealing material web typically plastic-coated aluminum
  • Figure 4 is a front section view (according to direction A in figure 2) of a detail of the cutting roll according to the invention
  • Figure 5 is a front view (according to direction A in figure 2) of a detail of the forming roll according to the invention
  • Each mold element 38 comprises a mold profile 39 which reproduces in negative the shape of the seal or cap 0.
  • the mold profile 39 comprises a central hole 40 in which a duct 41 is fitted.
  • the duct 41 leads into the central portion 42 of the positioning roll 29, which, with the exclusion of the sector 37, is connected to vacuum means. In this manner, the sheet of sealing material S, which is cut at the tangency point with the cutting roller 30, may be retained by the vacuum in the correct position for the subsequent forming step.
  • the web of sealing material S is unwound by one of the two reels 13 arranged outside the controlled atmosphere chamber 2 and enters into it through the door 22.
  • the correct tensioning of the web is ensured by detecting the length L of the loop A by one of the detection sensors 18 and by respectively actuating the braking or servo drive system of the spindle 16 of the reel 13.
  • the forming device 52 is oriented so as to follow, along its path for a rotation angle up to ⁇ 15° with respect to the tangency point between the positioning roll 29 and the forming roll 31, the mold element 38, coupling to it on opposite and parallel planes. In this manner, the interaction is obtained between punch 65 and mold profile 39 and thus the seal or cap 0 is formed.
  • the correct forming pressure is ensured by the calibration of the spring 58 on which the rod 54 assures .
  • the equipment 12 of the invention achieves the predetermined objects.
