Ring-type bottling plant capper system extends holddown and positioned cap for cap presence checks by reflecting light scanner to maintain smooth line flow.

摘要

After cap transfer, the holddown (20) and holddown surface (21) run briefly out of the closing station to check for cap (15) presence. The surface covered by the cap is moved into the proving jet of the checking unit (25), here designed as a reflecting light scanner etc and in the event of several missing caps (15), the station and associated devices are cut out, preferably after a pre-set number of missing caps.
