DESCRIPTION OF THE MONOBLOCK FOR CANS:

The monoblock Diamond has been designed and manufactured for the treatment of cylindrical aluminum cans. This monoblock enables filling and seaming all types of products, both the carbonated and flat. All details of the filling valve have been carefully designed to reach an excellent filling performance, and a simple assembly and disassembly for easy maintenance.

The height adjustment of the filler is electrical; the filling head and the cam holding ring are in sync. Through the infeed scroll and the starwheel at the filler inlet the cans are placed on the cups in correspondence to the filling valves that work with a pneumatic system recycling the compressed air, which has been previously filtered and lubricated, to obtain supple descent of the filling valve centering to avoid any shock that could damage the mouth of the can. A cam guaranteeing a perfect tightness between the filling valve and the can is used for the descent.

After the filling and the degassing of the can, a cam lifts the filling valve centering allowing the full can to enter the outlet starwheel of the filler and reach the conveyor belt transferring it to the seamer. The cans are conveyed through the filler with an inlet scroll and an outlet chain avoiding any sudden movements to prevent any product splashing.

Main construction features of the basic machine:

Base provided with thick stabilized stainless steel coated plate and stainless steel supporting columns. St/steel conveyor for can infeed to the seaming head with tooth at constant pitch 4-chuck height adjustable seaming head with rotating can connected to the lower rotor by means of a splined shaft. All seaming chuck control gears are hardened and oil lubricated. The height adjustment of both upper seaming turret and lid-dispenser is carried out by Jog. Seaming cams made of hardened and rectified steel driving separately first and second operation rolls (non interlocking).

Motorized can lifting plates by gears making can spin at the same speed of the chuck. By means of an adjustable spring it is possible to select the right pressure for seaming. Completely adjustable stainless steel single-***** separator according to the lid size and suitable for separating lids. Inclined feeder for lids 1,200 mm long. Machine stops in case of missing lid. “No can / no lid” system driven by a pneumatic device with electronic control. Motorization from the machine bottom where a motor is driven by a frequency variator allowing the operator to select the production speed beyond acceleration and deceleration ramps. Stainless steel electric board with PLC having protection IP 54 and including digit adjustable Inverter (max. length for connection between seamer and electric board: 5 mts)

The machine lubrication is carried out by grease and is timed, automatic and centralized. All the machine parts (including seaming rolls) are reached and greased even while the machine is working. A self-checking device stops the seamer in case of missing or partial lubrication.

Manual portable push-button panel “JOG” for machine working with short intermittent movements and it is mainly used during can size change-over and roll adjustment. A safety limit switch is foreseen in order to prevent cans from accumulating inside the seamer in case of machine stop or

down-stream jam. St/steel safety guards according to CE regulations complete with micro-switches for machine stop in case of door opening. The machine is supplied, equipped, and tested for one can/ lid size only and it is complete with one instruction manual for installation and start-up.
