2.1.1.5

2nd transfer unit

This unit is used to transfer the caps from the forming drum to the quality control unit.
2.1.1.6

Quality control unit

This unit checks the liners to see whether they have been properly formed and that the shells have not been damaged.
The unit incorporates sensing spindles (1) located in cylindrical bores equally spaced apart around the periphery of
the body (2). Sensors (3) are secured to the bottom of the spindles while the spindles are attached to a cam (4) on
the top. The cam moves the spindles up and down.
While the unit rotates, the sensors are moved down and come into contact with the caps, checking them for any
defects. A mechanical and vacuum-operated system is employed for this purpose.
Any defective caps and/or lines are rejected when they are on the exit conveyor belt by an air blower.
