One assembly machine, able to process closures having very different dimensions. Flexibility, reliability and high speed are the key words featuring the latest solution from Gefit. This "lining machine" recently developed by the Italian company presents many innovations, that will certainly draw the attention of all manufacturers of closures with liner, from the food and beverage to the cosmetics industries.
The new machine is able to cut a liner and to assemble it with a  closure at speed up to 200 shots per minute. Anyway, the real novelties for this kind of equipment are not only the speed and the precision, but also its flexibility. It is built on a full electric platform operated by a torque motor and can process closures with very different diameters: from 18 mm up to 130 mm. The adjustment for size changing requires no longer than 20 minutes.
The lining machine is completely programmable, with regards to cycle time and number of shots. The vertical movement (cutting phase) is operated electrically by a brushless motor, as well as the liner tearing phase, which is operated by another brushless motor. This solution appears very interesting for all companies producing caps with inner liner that so far are often forced to use different machines to assemble their products, that brings to obvious consequences from economical point of view and also with respect to the space occupied in their facilities.
