A cutting apparatus is disclosed to form a weakening line of a of an anti-tampering device of a cap made of plastics for closing a container, in which the cutting apparatus includes a feeding device for feeding the caps along a feeding path, a blade arranged in the feeding path to form the weakening line, at least one abutting wall on which the cap can roll, and a micrometric screw configured for adjusting the corresponding position of the blade with respect to the abutting wall, so that blade wear can be compensated by advancing the blade to the feeding path of the caps independently of the abutting wall.

Apparatus for cutting caps

A line for the continuous cycle production of plastic objects comprises: an extruder configured to deliver a flow of plastic fluid; a compression moulding machine including a rotating moulding carousel and a plurality of moulds to form an ordered succession of objects from corresponding doses; a transfer apparatus configured to feed the doses individually to the compression moulding machine; a conveyor; a first sensor configured to detect a first diagnostic signal; a control unit programmed to capture the first diagnostic signal.

A method for applying a sealing member to a capsule intended for the preparation of a beverage in a device for making beverages, where the capsule includes a body having a bottom wall, a side wall and a flange-like rim which extends from the side wall, comprises a step of applying a charge of sealing composition in a viscous state on the flange-like rim and a step of compression moulding the charge of sealing composition against the flange-like rim.

Method and a tool for assembling a female mould and a female mould arrangement

A method for assembling a female mould on a moulding machine, comprises the steps of:

In a cutting apparatus a rotating carousel conveys caps made of synthetic plastic material to a fixed blade having the shape of a circumferential arc. The caps are rotated about themselves by spindles. The blade cuts an annular weakening line to form the tamperproof ring of the cap. The carousel has an emitter and a laser receiver that cooperate to detect the presence or absence of the cutting edge of the fixed blade. The apparatus ensures good cutting quality.

Cutting apparatus and method

A mold is provided for forming caps for closing containers by compression molding doses of plastic material, where a bottom wall of the cap, or at least one portion of the bottom wall is very thin. The mold includes two half-molds axially movable towards each other which assume an end closed position without a dose. A tubular element is slidable around the second half-mold and partially defines the cavity. The tubular element contacts an axial abutment of the first half-mold at one side and an axial end stop of the second half-mold at the other side to prevent hard contact between the half-molds.

Compression mold

A method of embossing a crown cap comprises the steps of: detecting a pre-printed drawing on the bottom of the crown cap, varying the angular positioning of the crown cap so as to position the drawing according to a preset positioning, and impressing a raised/recessed pictogram on the bottom of the crown cap. The pre-printed drawing and the embossed pictogram will have a desired reciprocal position.

Embossing method and apparatus

An apparatus includes a transferring arrangement for transferring objects obtained by compression-molding doses of synthetic plastics from a forming arrangement of a forming unit and a supporting arrangement for rotatably supporting the transferring arrangement. In order to avoid blows and/or damage between the transferring arrangement and the forming arrangement, the apparatus includes a moving arrangement connected to the supporting arrangement and configured for moving the transferring arrangement at least between a first operating position nearer the forming unit, in which the transferring arrangement interacts with the forming arrangement to transfer the objects, and a second operating position, in which the transferring arrangement is spaced away from the forming unit so as not to interact with the forming arrangement. The movement of the transferring arrangement from the first operating position to the second operating position has at least a component in the same direction as a tangential component of the rotational motion of the forming unit in the first operating position.

Apparatus for transferring objects

An apparatus for forming an object from plastics material includes a forming arrangement having a recess for forming an edge zone of the object, the recess extending around an internal region of the forming arrangement and a conduit cooperating with a piston device to supply the plastics material to the recess, the conduit leading into the internal region into a position contiguous with the recess.

Apparatuses and methods for making seal rings for caps, and thus obtained seal rings

An apparatus comprises a molding unit having a punch and a mold cavity movable along a path between an open position in which said punch and said mold cavity are distanced apart from each other to receive a dose of plastics therebetween, and a closed position in which said punch and said mold cavity interact to form an item by pressing said dose, said punch being kept not above said cavity along said path.

Compression moulding apparatus, methods and item

An apparatus comprises a transfer device rotatable at a speed to transfer a dose of plastics from a supply device to a forming device of said dose, a control device that is suitable for varying said speed in a substantially continuous manner between a minimum value and a maximum value being associated with said transfer device.

Apparatuses and methods for producing objects

An apparatus comprises a moulding unit having a punch and a mould cavity movable along a path between an open position in which said punch and said mould cavity are distanced apart from each other to receive a dose of plastics therebetween, and a closed position in which said punch and said mould cavity interact to form an item by pressing said dose, said punch being kept not above said cavity along said path.
