The intermittent rotary closing machine is a specialized machine used in the packaging industry to apply lids, caps or closures to containers such as bottles, jars or canisters. These machines are known for their precision and efficiency and are often used in the food, chemical, pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries.

The operation of an intermittent rotary closing machine is based on an intermittent motion sequence in which the containers are stopped at regular intervals to perform the capping process. This cycle operation enables precise positioning of the containers under the capping tools and ensures a consistently high quality of the capping process.

With the rotary capper, the cap is applied to the container using a screw mechanism. The machine is equipped with a rotating head that grips the screw caps and screws them onto the thread of the container with a predefined torque. Sensors monitor the process and ensure that each cap is applied correctly. The torque settings can be adjusted according to the requirements of the product and the cap.

The rotary capper can also handle a press closure system. Here, the lids or closures are placed on the containers and then pressed firmly onto the container using controlled pressure. This process is particularly suitable for closures without threads.

Modern rotary closing machines often have a modular design and can be adapted to different container sizes and shapes as well as different types of closures. They have user-friendly operator interfaces that allow staff to quickly switch between different products and set production parameters.

Other features of these machines include:

• High production speeds: Intermittent rotary closing machines can process a high number of containers per minute, making them ideal for mass production.
• Reliability: Thanks to the use of high-quality materials and components, these machines offer a high level of operational reliability and durability.
• Flexibility: With various attachments and adjustment options, they can be easily adapted to different production requirements.
• Integration: They can be seamlessly integrated into existing production lines and combined with other machines such as filling systems, labeling machines or packaging machines.

Overall, intermittent rotary closing machines are indispensable components of modern packaging lines that contribute to increasing efficiency and help to package products safely and attractively for the end consumer.

A transport starwheel, also known as a starwheel sorter, is a mechanical component that is often used in automated production and packaging lines. Its main function is to precisely position containers such as bottles or jars and transfer them between different stations of a production line.

The functional scope of a transport starwheel includes picking up the containers from a conveyor belt or other feed unit, holding them during transport and transferring them to the next machine or process step in an orderly manner. This is achieved by the specially shaped recesses on the circumference of the star wheel, which are precisely matched to the shape and size of the containers to be transported.

In terms of performance, transport stars are characterized by their high reliability and precision. They are capable of sorting and orienting products at high speed, which is essential for smooth operation in high-speed production lines. Transport stars can be configured for different applications and are often part of modular systems so that they can be quickly adapted to different product types or sizes.

Transport stars play a key role in increasing the efficiency of packaging and filling processes by ensuring a continuous flow of material and minimizing jams and product damage.

A synchronized production method is a production process that runs at fixed time intervals (cycles) to ensure consistent and efficient production. The cycle time is based on the desired output and determines the pace of production. Processes are standardized and synchronized to minimize waiting times and the workload is evenly distributed to avoid bottlenecks.

The advantages of a synchronized working method are increased efficiency through reduced idle times, improved quality control through regular checks, adaptability to fluctuations in demand and better planning of production volumes and delivery times.

Continuous capping offers numerous advantages, in particular by preventing unwanted product spillage. This advanced method ensures that the capping process takes place without interruptions, avoiding sudden stops and minimizing the risk of product spillage. The continuous and smooth movement achieves precise and efficient capping, ensuring a reliable seal and increasing product quality. In addition, this process enables optimal use of packaging resources and helps to reduce production downtime. Overall, continuous screwing is a proven method to improve both the efficiency and reliability of the packaging process.

Closure types are essential for the safety and freshness of packaging contents. They provide protection against environmental influences, enable safe handling and controlled dosing.

The performance of closures includes ease of use, resealability, a variety of designs for different applications and the ability to adapt to different types of packaging. The right choice of closure is crucial for product quality and customer satisfaction.

Sorting, feeding and screwing trigger and spray guns is a challenging task that involves a certain degree of complexity. In contrast to conventional screw caps, these processes are more demanding due to the specific design of the riser tube and the shape of the trigger or spray gun head.
