Abstract

PURPOSE:To ensure seal checking accuracy by sequentially providing a brush for cleaning the upper sealed face of a cup, a pressing unit to press the top of the cap downwardly after sealing and a sensor to measure the height of raised portion of the cap on the downstream side of packing process. CONSTITUTION:A cup 1 after packing process passes under a pair of brushes 6 in contact therewith. And the cup 1 and a cap 7 placed thereon by a cup supplier 25 are sealed together by a heat sealer 8. After the cup 1 has passed through cap pressing units 9 and 10 in sequence, the height of raised portion of the cap 7 is measured by a magnetic sensor 17. A product 22 having the height of raised portion of the cap 7 below a predetermined value is removed as a defective item from the processing line by an air blower 20 activated by a signal supplied from a sensor 17 through an AMP 18 and a relay unit 19. On the other hand, a completely sealed product 23 is sent to an arrangement conveyor 21. With this inspection method, a reduction in the product costs due to labor saving and a complete sealing check can be attained.

Conventional technology and its problems Conventionally, in cup filling and sealing packaging machines, checking whether the cap is completely sealed is carried out by a worker as a seal checker after heat sealing the cap on the cup after filling the contents. The state of the seal was visually inspected, and the raised cap was pressed from above to check whether the cap maintained its raised state. Through this inspection, we determine whether the seal condition is good or bad.
There are cases where the cap has peeled off from the center of the cup and is sealed, cases where the cap or knob has been damaged due to some kind of problem and the cup has just flown down the line, and there are also cases where noodle scraps and powder are left stuck in the seal area. Cups with sealed caps were rejected from the line as defective.

However, 1 This method requires as many as two people as seal checkers in two rows per line, and since the line is moved at a fairly high speed, a high degree of skill is required for inspection, and it is difficult to conduct a complete inspection. The problem was that it was difficult to predict.
