New coil fed cutting & inserting wadding machine for closures

MACA Engineering, of San Quinino Italy, has released a new design coil-fed, cutting – inserting wadding machine for plastic and metal caps/closures.

 The TID/4 machine cuts liners from coils and inserts them into aluminum or plastic caps.

It has an output speed from 8,000 to 36,000 pieces per hour, depending on the number of punches and closure type.

Features include:-

• A horizontal de-coiler that allows the feeding of a complete pallet of coil rolls directly from the pallet to the machine thereby minimizing operator intervention

• A coil advancement system with a linear motor

• Die tool with 2 columns allowing the possibility of 1 to 4 cutting / inserting punches according to the required output and the closure size

• Shears for cutting the scrap coil at each stroke for reducing scrap bulk.

• Simplified coil junction (beginning/end) and detection of the junction applied by the coil supplier
