EDITOUR 19 PETplanet Insider Vol. 23 Fig.1: Micky Mouse closures: the rotating tool axis allows the fast assembly of unusual cap designs. The machines also have solutions for new cut tethered caps that do not work on traditional sliders. As the cap rotates on the shaft, the closure runs past the knife, enabling bands to be cut that sit under noncircular caps. (Fig. 1) The fact that cap components sit on shafts and are not clamped from the outside means that even parts with sensitive surfaces, which are often required in the cosmetics sector, can be fitted without leaving any scratches. As well as the beverage industry, the machines are also used in the medical, beauty & home and consumer goods sectors.
