Overview

Form- Fill- and Closing Machines

1. Bottom web feeder
2. Forming station / deep-drawing process
3. In-feed section
4. Top web in-feed / labeling
5. Sealing unit
6. Cutting station (crosswise / lengthwise)

1.Lower film draft
Advantages:

No lubricants at the products

Maintenance-free solution

Wear-resistant solution in spite of cleaning process

Dirt accumulation

2. Preheating and molding station
Advantages:

Fastest demounting of bearing

Cost advantage

Cleaning with hydrogen peroxide possible

Dirt accumulation possible

3. Cup filling unit
Advantages:

Cleaning with hydrogen peroxide

Recirculating ball bearing is no alternative (cleaning)

Cost saving

Combination with soft

Stainless steels possible

Maintenance-free

Wear-resistant solution in spite of cleaning process

4. Inline labelling machine
Advantages:

No washing-out of the lubrication

No corrosion of the ball (soft stainless steel ball instead of hardened ball)

Lower adhesion factor, than bush bearing

Resistant against chemicals

5. Sealing unit
Advantages:

Cost advantage

Easy to install through split bearing housing

No rinsing of the recirculating ball bearings

Good corrosion-resistance

6. Cutting station (crosswise/lengthwise)
Advantages:

Vibrations during punching have no influence on the shaft

For this reason: No shake down of the shaft

Cost saving

Combination with soft stainless steel shafts

Maintenance-free solution

No impact from dirt accumulation through punching waste
