<p>The present invention provides an apparatus (10) and method for processing lined caps. The apparatus (10) includes a plurality of rotary turntables (30) having recesses (40) which receive the bottle caps, for sequentially cooling, inspecting, and removing the bottle caps. The first turntable receives the lined caps from the molding machine (14) supported on a machine table (12) at a first position (I), and advances the lined caps to a second position (II) through an enclosure (16) with cooling air. The second turntable includes inspection stations (58) and a vacuum inspection apparatus (18), a first disk (80) having an upper surface (81) and recesses (86). Properly formed caps are removed using a removal device (20) and advancing the caps to the third position (III).</p> |
