Forming Unit - Sacmi PMV 224 Maintenance And Operation Manual

2.1.1.4

Forming unit

This assembly is used to form the liners inside the caps by compressing the pellets.
The upper part of the drum houses the fixed forming plungers (2). The lower part contains the spindles that hold the
caps (1). The latter move vertically. The caps are placed on the lower spindles (1) by the transfer turntable. While the
forming drum rotates, the lower spindles are raised by a cam (3) bringing the hot pellet against the forming plungers
(2) thereby forming the liners.
The profile of the liner depends on the shape of the forming tools installed.
