September 30: An automated system that closes pails for industrial products was launched by Crown Speciality Packaging at the FachPack show in Germany yesterday.
For use with Crown’s Topexpand containers, it can be integrated in existing filling lines, and is claimed to reduce labour costs, improve production efficiency and speed up time to market. Features include a pneumatic closing head that expands the lid and the container body into the closed locking ring and ensures a tight, tamper-evident seal.
