Estimating the term…
A closing assembly for applying crown caps is provided. The closing assembly has a small footprint, is easily and quickly replaceable, and is apt to be installed on roto-translating capping heads mounted to capping machines that can handle both applications involving roto-translation of the capping heads and applications involving only translation of the capping heads. The capping machine has a gear system in which the driving sprocket can be rotatably adjusted so as to annul the rotational movement component of the capping heads around their axes and maintain solely the translational movement component, allowing correct operation of the closing assembly. The closing assembly (1) may have a remarkably small footprint by virtue of the use of two or more ejector springs that are concentric and parallel to each other.
A closing assembly (1) for capping heads for a capping machine, the closing assembly comprising a movable part (3) which is provided, at a lower end thereof, with a crimping end (5) and which in turn houses an ejector assembly (7), wherein said ejector assembly (7) is slidable with respect to said movable part (3) and elastic ejector means (11a, 11b) are arranged between said movable part (3) and said ejector assembly (7), wherein said ejector assembly (7) is connected to an internal rod (13) which protrudes from said movable part (3) and is provided with coupling means (13a) and wherein said elastic ejector means comprise two or more concentric ejector springs (11a, 11b), which are arranged in parallel.
A closing assembly (1) for capping heads for a capping machine, the closing assembly comprising:
