For part 4 of the consumer packaging series, Capping Machines will be covered. To read up on the previous posts, visit them below.
Consumer Product Packaging Part 1: Cartoning
Consumer Product Packaging Part 3: Shrink Sleeving
The top seal of a consumer product, such as the cap on a bottled iced tea, the top of a carbonated soda bottle, or the spray head on a cleaning product, the end sealing process is arguably the most critical component of the consumer packaging because it ensures product freshness, shelf life, and safety considerations. To achieve this, the top seal of the product that will be eventually be broken by the consumer must be affixed perfectly every time.
Most consumers probably do not fully understand the role that the final product seal plays in the freshness and quality of products they consume daily, but this may be changing now that so many products are handled and packaged through delivery and mail services. Automated, fully customizable industrial machine lines, commonly referred to as Capping Machines, apply the top container seals to consumer goods at extremely high rates of production speed. A fully automated machine process ensures that products are uniformly sealed in order to preserve product freshness and also ensure that the product is fully leak-proof from the top opening. At the same time, the cap/seal must easily be removable by the consumer for product use. All of these goals can be accomplished thanks to automated industrial capping machines.
這些封蓋機是大型工業機器，可密封各種消費產品，如食品，飲料，乳液，洗發水，藥品和清潔化學品。此外，有一些廣泛類別的帽或外殼，這些蓋子或外殼在很大程度上是差異化，以便消除消費者消費的方式。這些產品的每個不同類別都可以通過自動封蓋機密封。例如，兒童抵抗帽用於藥品或醫療產品，以提供篡改的安全程度。螺紋通過螺紋固定到適當位置，例如在果汁瓶上找到的螺紋。軟木塞是一個不同的過程，其中通常壓縮，然後插入瓶子中。通過自動封蓋機，還可以在瓶子頂部施加壓蓋。
MISUMI configurable components can allow industrial capping machine lines to affix final seals/caps on huge volumes of consumer product containers. These capping machines consist of hundreds of components that are meticulously configured to perform the specific functionality required for each unique packaging process. Dozens of unique categories of components are present on industrial capping machines. Commonly specified large components consist ofbelt/chain conveyor assemblies,aluminum extrusions, andtiming belts/chains. Typical medium-sized components consist ofbearing units,angle plates,rollers,shaft couplings,shaft collars,鉛螺絲, andmounting plates. Finally, dozens of small components such as滾珠軸承,oil-free bushings,gears,washers,處理,clamp levers,彈簧,knobs, andscrewsare also present in almost every subassembly comprising the capping machine setup.
No matter the packaging challenge, the MISUMI can provide component solutions that can be leveraged to build custom capping machines configured to quickly and efficiently seal a huge range of consumer products. Visit our dedicated page to the packaging industryhere.
