Description and Operations :

• This unit contains Indexing turret of 8 pockets.
• This unit contain mechanical indexer.
• Cans are entered into turret at 45 degree.
• Indexing Turret Will Pick the Jar Into Below The Cutting and Sealing Head.
• Cutting & Sealing will be done at same time.
• Dancing Roller Assembly Which Helps the foil for Proper Tension and easy cutting.
• Turret places the container to the output conveyor.

Interlocks :

• When Input sensor sense the container machine starts in auto mode.
• When Output sensor sense the Container machine stops in auto mode to avoid overload / jamming.
• No container, no Sealing.
• No Container, No Foil Cut.
• Clutch slips at overload/jamming in machine.
• Emergency stop, machine off.

Basic Machine Parts :

1. Conveyor:

• This is required to move the bottles.
• Machine direction will be left to right
• 2500mm length & 82.5 mm slat width

2. Disc Spacer

• It helps to create the space between two bottles

3. Orientation

• It helps to orient the bottle properly before it gets hold by overhead unit

4. Overhead Unit

• It holds the bottle properly from top
• It helps in proper labelling on bottle from both the side

5. Labelling Head:

• This is the heart of the machine. Actual labelling head will be designed for maximum label height of 150mm

6. Sensor

• Product sensor: required to detect the product and send the signal to PLC
• Label sensor: detect the gap between two labels and accordingly help to dispense the label

Function :

• This unit contains Indexing turret of 8 pockets.
• This unit contain mechanical indexer.
• Cans are entered into turret at 45 degree.
• At predetermined station Cap will be placed over containers.
• Rotary electrical vibrator is provided which orients supply the caps to the pick and place unit through cap transfer track.
• Cap placing unit operates mechanically.
• Cans carry caps along with it while indexing.
• Caps will be pressed onto the bottles by pneumatic cylinder after cap placing.
• At next station mechanical capping tool comes down, tool press and rotates the cap against the bottle.
• Capping will be done at pre-set torque, once required torque is achieved tool will slip with the help of magnetic clutch.
• While capping, bottle will be held rigidly with pneumatic gripper for anti-rotation.
• After capping tool goes back to the original position.
• Turret places the container to the output conveyor.

Interlocks :

• When Input sensor sense the cans machine starts in auto mode.
• When Output sensor sense the cans machine stops in auto mode to avoid overload / jamming.
• No container, no filling.
• No Cap, Machine off.
• Capping machine off, filling machine off.
• Clutch slips at overload/jamming in machine.
• Emergency stop, machine off.

Automatic Powder Filler Function :

• Manually bottles are placed in the turn table provided.
• Bottles will pass through the conveyor and enter the Auger filler.
• This unit contains Indexing turret of 6/12 pockets.
• This unit contain mechanical indexer.
• Cans are entered into turret at 45 degree.
• Auger filler will dispense powder as soon as bottle is below the nozzle as per weight instructions set in HMI.

Interlocks :

• When Input sensor sense the bottles, machine starts in auto mode.
• When Output sensor sense the cans, machine stops in auto mode to avoid overload / jamming.
• No container, no filling.
• Clutch slips at overload/jamming in machine.
• Emergency stop, machine off.

Description & Operations :

• This machine consists 4 meter of Conveyor with S.S 304 slat chain for product entry & exit.
• The Containers will be manually placed in pug of the input conveyor of Sleeve Applicator Machine.
• Length of film can be adjusted through HMI.
• Sleeve will be placed over the Marker while moving
• A sensor is placed below sleeving unit for container sensing.
• When input sensor sense rotary cutter operates through servo.
• Cutter cut the film at present length.
• Film roll is mounted on reel mounting assembly which supply film at regular intervals with the help of dancing rollers
• Film is fed to the mandrel through number of rollers.
• Mandrel is designed according to the shape of containers.
• Pair of rollers is placed on mandrel at bottom which pull the sleeve while cutting and places over the marker.
• After placing sleeve markers moves through the shrink tunnel
• After finish containers will be ejected by manually

Shrink Tunnel :

• This unit contains Heaters inside the tunnel which shrinks the sleeve.
• Blowers are placed at the top of the tunnel to circulate the hot air around the sleeve.

Function :

• After Filling, product passes to Rotary Capping unit.
• Bottles enter to the entry turret through timing screw.
• Machine has capping tool, which moves down pick caps from exit turret and carries along with it.
• Tool comes down at capping station and place the cap over the bottles.
• After capping Tool jaw opens and goes up to the original position.
• Pressing torque can be set for individual tools.

Interlocks :

• Output conveyor sensor on/off, machine on/off.
• Bottle Sensor on/off, machine on/off.
• Clutch Slip, machine off.
• No bottle, No Cap.
• No Cap Machine on/off

Function :

• Manually bottles will be placed open side up in turntable.
• Liquid filling unit is operated completely by mechanical system.
• Sensor senses the Bottles and machine starts automatically.
• Mechanical stopper stops 4, 6, 8 Bottles at a time.
• Diving nozzles enters inside and fill the Bottles.
• After filling i.e. when nozzle goes back to its home position only stopper release the Bottles.
• Filling starts only if 6 Bottles are available at filling station.
• Volume of liquid filling can be set as per user requirement by adjusting the action of piston.
• The stopper is adjustable.
• Height of filling nozzle unit is adjustable.

Interlocks :
