Consumer and household automated assembly equipment
Consumer and household automated assembly equipment
Consumer and household automated assembly equipment efficiently manufactures products that require repetitive part assembly for increased output, quality, and uniformity. Central Machines, Inc. custom-builds automated machinery for multi-piece assembly, cap lining, and cap closure applications for household and consumer products.
AUTOMATED ASSEMBLY MACHINES FOR CONSUMER AND HOUSEHOLD PRODUCTS
Automated assembly machines are designed to handle a broad spectrum of cap closing or lining applications for household cleaning products, cosmetics, personal care lotions, and more. We can custom-build this equipment for the high-speed assembly of trigger and lotion pumps, aerosol valves, cleaning bottle caps, and numerous other types of cap fittings. At Central Machines, we can accommodate a range of design parameters for ease of use and attractive packaging within our automated equipment, including safety guarding options and adherence to OSHA standards.
CAP CLOSING MACHINES
Continuous Motion Cap Closer Machine is a self-contained continuous motion machine, with a Closure feeder bowl, and inline air track. The machine will be configured with continuously rotating dials, mounted horizontally. The Closure will be held in position on the dial by cam driven forks. The lower dial tooling will be equipped with cam driven spindles. An outer cam will allow each spindle to move up and pivot the lids over the closures while the closure is held in position with the cam driven forks. The upper tooling dial will be equipped with cam driven spindles. The forks retract while an outer cam rail will allow the spindle to move down on the Lid, snapping the Lid closed onto the Closure. The cam section will be mounted on a pneumatic slide equipped with a regulator to allow adjustment of the closing force. If the air cylinder is depressed during the closing operation, the Closure will be designated as a reject and removed from the dial. A fixed cam will divert completed assemblies to an eject chute equipped with a pneumatically operated box diverter. An air blow off from under the closure will remove rejects from the dial and blow them into a reject chute.
CAP LINING MACHINES
Cap lining equipment places seals or liners beneath cap closures before product distribution and packaging. These linings achieve an airtight seal to safeguard the container’s contents against contaminants or leakage, preserve freshness and product integrity, and promote consumer confidence in the contents. These liners may display the date of sealing or the best-by date for the product, as well.
