A new concept of strip feeding has been developed under the name of PICK AND PLAY available with new RICOME strip feed press and available as upgrade of second hand strip feed presses, successfully installed on several strip feed press models

BLISS 1831, FMI A 702, KARGES HAMMER, MB 314, ZAGO.

This new concept of strip feeding brings a wide range of advantages to end makers as quality increase:

- no scratches on the strip

- no stops due to double strip

- efficiency increase

- output increase

 as well as maintenance cost decrease :

-          much less mechanical parts as levers,  fingers, cams

-          less lubrication points

-          longer working time

·       easy set up of the strip feeder to change  the number of strokes per strips,

·       there are no gears to be replaced  according to the different number of strokes per strip

·       fast set up of strip guides

·       easy adjustment of the strip alignment  before die tool area

·       fast strip size change over 

Machine designed to automatically wrap all kind of ends and bottoms in tinplate TFS or aluminum using a micro-holed plastic film.

The ends coming from the production lines are counted by an electronic counter separated in piles according the required quantity and pile length and then picked-up by a gripper.

The gripper moves on a system of x-y axes and brings the piles in the wrapping station.

In the wrapping station the piles are wrapped and longitudinally heat sealed.

Piles are transported to machine exit by a roller conveyor, during transportation the plastic film is heat shrunk by hot air blowers.

Production unit for the application and the drying of water-based compounds, this user-friendly system guarantees high production with excellent quality in a limited workspace.

Independent speed control  of rotating compound mandrel by drive unit, down stacker by warm in order to optimize and speed up the ends down stacking operation, independent velocity control  for main motor of the machine by drive unit, gears box in oil pool, automatic lubrication for all sliding or moving parts, machine controlled by means of PLC.Pneumatic lifting of ends feeder for inspection or cleaning, feeding magazine with stack-level control and with blocking device, safety device no lid - no compound, automatic instant stop in case of jams, with closing of nozzle.

Automatic machine for compound drying on round, oval or rectangular ends and aerosol can domes, quick and efficient drying by means of hot air blown on the lids by an electro blower, ends are conveyed inside the oven with special pockets made of heat-resistant plastic in order to avoid damages or scratches on lids, automatic temperature control and set up, electronic safety device for flame control and automatic safety block, rapid and automatic size change over on both sides, machine equipped with magnetic exit belt to bring lids out from the oven. Available with electrical heater on request.
