Heat conductive metal covering application method for refrigerated container - using continuous ribbon of aluminium mounted on roller which is adhesively applied to rear of container and then cut to required length.

摘要

The outer metal covering of aluminium ribbon is applied to the back surface of refrigerated container to absorb the heat generated by the cooling coil. The container is advanced over a conveyor belt (18, 19) with the back surface uppermost. A roll (23) of aluminium ribbon with predetermined width and thickness(10) is unwound by driven rollers. A dispenser (24) applies a suitable adhesive (28) and a return roller (5) reverses the direction of the ribbon so that it can be directly applied to the surface of the container. A cutter (17) cuts off the required length of ribbon (10) and a pressing roller (15) is moved back and forward to cause the ribbon to adhere to the container.
