Problems solved by technology

[0007] This type of machine is subject to certain disadvantages, notably limited by a well-defined limitation imposed on the operating speed of the machine due to the spacing process between the first and second capping steps of the caps resting freely on the containers will become incorrectly positioned in
[0008] In addition, such machines tend to be complex, bulky and expensive

Embodiment Construction

[0015] see figure 1 and figure 2 , reference 1 generally designates the machine 1 by which a container 2 of generally cylindrical appearance, having a neck, reference 3 , is closed with a cap or lid 4 of the snap-fit ​​type.

[0016] Inside the single lid 4 there is provided a restriction in the form of a ring or ridge 5 which, when coupled with the neck 3 of the container 2, will keep the lid 4 in the closed position.

[0017] The machine 1 comprises a horizontally arranged linear belt conveyor 6 which continues to advance in the direction of the arrow F in the drawing and is provided with recesses 7 equidistantly spaced at a given pitch P, each recess being designed as Accommodates a container 2.

[0018] The machine 1 also comprises a second linear belt conveyor 8 positioned above and parallel to the first conveyor 6 , carrying a continuous series of caps 4 , which come into contact with each other and advance in the direction of arrow F .

Abstract

Containers (2) are capped with snap-fit lids (4) by a machine comprising a first feed conveyor (6) on which the containers (2) advance spaced apart at a given pitch P, and a second feed conveyor (8) supplying the lids (4), located above the first conveyor (6). Operating between the first and second conveyors (6, 8) are a timing device (9) rotatable about a vertical axis, serving to space the lids (4) apart at the same pitch P as the containers (2), and a capping wheel (16) rotatable about a horizontal axis (17), interposed between the timing device (9) and the first conveyor (6) and revolving substantially tangential to the first conveyor (6) at a capping position (40); the capping wheel (16) comprises a drum (18), and a plurality of capping units (20) mounted to the drum (18) by way of respective toggle devices (25).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a machine for capping containers. [0002] In particular, the invention relates to a machine for closing containers with caps or lids of snap-fit ​​design. Background technique [0003] The prior art consists of capping machines of the type in question comprising a conveyor provided with a recess to accommodate each individual container and running a circular path. [0004] The capping operation takes place in two steps as the container advances along the above path. [0005] In a first step, the lids are positioned sequentially on each container by means of a pick-up device. [0006] In a second step, the caps are forcibly fixed to the corresponding containers by a capping unit mounted to a wheel above the conveyor, rotatable about a horizontal axis, the angular movement of which is synchronized with the linear movement of the conveyor . [0007] This type of machine is subject to certain disadvantages, notably limited by ...
