ABSTRACT:
A continuous motion sealer of a type typically employed for applying metallic foil seals to the mouths of containers for fluid comestibles is disclosed. The device includes means for cutting a flat seal of predetermined profile from a roll-supplied heat activated material, and transport the seal to the containers or other parts following which it is heat sealed. Improved camming means is provided which enables the sealing heater to engage a seal in the absence of other than vertical motion. A punch and die assembly includes a programmable electronic material advance mechanism. Each sealing head assembly includes an electronic band heater and thermocouple, as well as a vacuum pickup for individual seals. The thermocouple communicates with a separate sealing head temperature controller, programmable with regard to temperature setting, and an alarm connected to a system shutdown in the event of failure. Means is provided to accommodate containers of differing heights, the same means providing for the lowering of the containers away from the heated sealing heads when operation is interrupted. Two multiple position rotary electrical unions are provided. One supplies power to the heaters, and the other connects temperature sensors to the heat controller. Operation is interrupted by an air operated cylinder which prevents heat damage to containers being sealed.
