ABSTRACT:
The container closure and sealing apparatus includes opposed and oppositely rotating screw feeders for moving the containers from the feed conveyor to tacking apparatus which exerts sufficient force on a tape of pre-punched covers to dislodge a cover from the tape and temporarily secure the cover to the container. An infeed indexing apparatus works in timed coordination with the tacking apparatus and with the heat sealer to remove the containers from the screws and deposit the containers onto the heat sealer where localized heat is applied to the container and cover to perform the permanent sealing and securing of the cover to the container. The heat sealer transports the containers to an indexing ejector which works in timed relationship therewith to move the containers from the heat sealing assembly to a discharge conveyor.
