Abstract:
An integrated conveyor line system for placing safety and non-safety caps onto bottles traveling on the same conveyor line. A network of sensors and RFID readers determine the location of bottles and ensure that the right cap is placed on each bottle. The processing system controlling the hardware components instructs the appropriate components to divert bottles to a reject holding queue when the system detects a bottle having the wrong type of cap.
Abstract:
A method for closing receptacles (2), comprising steps of: in a controlled-contamination environment (6) having a volume that extends into a restricted zone about the neck (2b) of the receptacles, resting and pressing a closure (10) onto a mouth (2a) of each receptacle (2); screwing the capsule (10) onto the neck (2b) of the corresponding receptacle (2) externally of the controlled contamination environment (6).

Abstract:
A biaxially stretched molded bottle is forcibly cooled by having its outer surface contacted with a cooling fluid such as cold water or gas to avoid its deformation by the heat of a liquid poured into the bottole and elution by such heat of any constituent of the material from which it is molded, when the bottle is a molded product of a saturated polyester resin, particularly polyethylene terephthalate, which has poor heat resistance like bottles of other synthetic resins, and is filled with the liquid which is heated to a high temperature for sterilization purpose only when it is filled into such a bottle and which is allowed to return to room temperature or cooled. When the liquid is poured into the bottle through its open neck, the cooling fluid supplied for cooling the bottle is prevented from flowing into the bottle through its open neck and mixing impurities into the liquid in the bottle. Moreover, an structural improvement has been introduced to avoid any interaction of thrust between the neck of the bottle and the seal covers brought into contact therewith in order to prevent thermal deformation of the neck of the bottle which is difficult to cool with the cooling fluid.
