Seal cut through dies with columns with blades (This is the most conventional and well-known system of cutting and inserting seals in the cap). Our equipments can be delivered with dies of 1 to 5 punchers.

Seal precut through rotary cutting system
(This method, commonly used in polyethylene seals inserted in beverages caps, guarantees a cap free from polyethylene particles. Such particles are inevitably generated in the cutting process, when the punchers used in the traditional cutting rip up the material during the process. An important point to be considered is that the quantity of debris generated is higher in low density or low quality liners.

This Rotary cutting system eliminates almost 100% of the dust since it uses a compression type of cut instead of the traditional chopping system. The seals are pre-cut on the liner band in the Rotary cut module outside the lining module, where they will finally be inserted. Consequently, it is impossible that a particle, resulting from the cutting process, gets in contact with the cap. After the pre-cut, the band is delivered through ionization and dust removing tunnels to the final table where the cap is assembled.

The tooling changes in both options are simple, fast and precise. The machine operator will perform the changeover in no time.

The cut tooling in the traditional version consists of dies with columns with high precision ball bushings and rotary blades in the case of pre-cut seals. All of them are interchangeable.

Our Lining Machines (Seal or liner insertion) can cut or insert different types of seals depending on the tooling used, such as tritab, pull-tab, round, double (two overlapped and independent seals), sensitive seals (inserted by pressure) and others, all of them used in different applications in the packaging industry. We have Lining Assembly machines in which both the cap assembly and lining are performed. We have an assembly and lining model for childproof caps.

Our equipments are used in the manufacturing of Bottled Water caps, Short and Long Skirt caps, Twist off caps, Elliptical caps, Ketchup dispensing caps (assembly and lining).

If the customer requires, Auting can install artificial vision systems for the inspection and control of defects that its Quality Department considers necessary.
To achieve this, we have the knowhow for the application of the latest technology in artificial vision systems and a close contact with the main suppliers that keep us updated with the latest news.

Functioning

Closures are loaded in hoppers (Vibratory or Elevator) which reload the closure feeder-orientor in a controlled motion (Vibratory or Rotary) which in turn will place the closures rhythmically on a conveyor that will finally feed the lining module.

The lining module will be in charge of cutting and inserting the seal in the cap. (Traditional or Rotary cutting system) Besides, other operations can be performed in the main module, such as: operations combined with assembly, adhesive application, labeling or mere inspection.

General Characteristics

Auting Lining machines have all the control elements to guarantee 100% non-defective pieces in their production. We are also specialists in handling high quality closures on which lack of scratches is a key requirement. Our equipments not only meet the strictest quality standards but are also designed for easy use and low maintenance.
