The apparatus includes a loading station for loading a rim into a carrier plate, a heat seal station for laying and forming a film over the rim, a preheating station for preheating the rim and film, a forming station for drawing the film into a chamber by creating a vacuum to form the collector, and an unloading station for removing the collector from the carrier plate.
