Position 0: Side seaming Technology for PBL-foil : Hot air welding Linear welding speed: 20 m/min

Position 0: Side seaming Technology for ABL-foil : High-frequency welding (Induction) Or Kombiseam: Hot air + high-frequency welding Linear welding speed: 20 m/min

Position 0: Sleeve cutting Rotary knife cutting device Flying rotary cutter for up to 100 tubes/min

Position 1: Shoulder (head) loading Shoulder loading on mandrels with positioning (+/- 2.5 °) Shoulders are held by vacuum

Position 3+4: Sleeve loading & Position 3: The oriented sleeves (body) are pushed over the shoulder on the mandrels Position 4: The sleeves are accurately positioned relative to the shoulder

Position 5: Shoulder welding hot air 1. Heating of the welding area by hot air 2. Welding of the sleeve to the shoulder and immediate cooling Welding technology for PBL, everything in one process step

Position 6: Shoulder welding high-frequency 1. Press on of the sleeve to the shoulder 2. Welding of the area by high frequency 3. Cooling Welding technology for ABL, a combination hot air / high-frequency

Position 8: Membrane sealing Membrane punching and sealing of the aluminum based foil in one step with high- frequency

Position 9: Screw-on cap or press-on cap Cap screw-on station exchangeable with a Cap press-on station for oriented caps (accuracy +/- 2.5°)

Position 10: Tightening station The cap tightening station applies the proper torque

Position 11: Tube unloading Tube unloading through conveyor belt Direct connection to a packaging machine is possible

Change-over Easy change-over of the complete machine in 60-90 minutes Easy exchange of the mandrels Easy exchange of the welding device Easy exchange of the capping section Quick change of the shoulder & cap feeding devices
