Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a heating head for thermally shrinking sealing capsules made of a thermally shrinkable material on the necks of bottles arranged along a bottling line of liqueur, wine, oil, and the like.
  • the bottles are filled and then closed by a plug which, e.g., may be made of cork or metal. Then, the bottles are fed to a capsule-feeding device which individually draws the capsules from a pile and fits them onto the bottle necks. Thereafter, the bottles are fed by an auger to a heating carousel supporting a plurality of heating heads provided with a resistor. Then, the heads are lowered under control of a cam-based guide system to surround the necks of the bottles through a fixed length of the carousel stroke, so that the material of the capsule is heated and consequently shrinks around the bottle.
  • a plug which, e.g., may be made of cork or metal.
  • the bottles are fed to a capsule-feeding device which individually draws the capsules from a pile and fits them onto the bottle necks. Thereafter, the bottles are fed by an auger to a heating carousel supporting a plurality of heating heads provided with a resistor. Then, the heads are lowered under control of
  • Figs. 2 , 3 show an improved heating head 20 according to the invention.
  • Head 20 is supported on a frame 22 and is conventionally movable in a vertical direction between an upper, resting position and a lower, operative position, under control of cam-based guides (not shown). Accordingly, the period of time through which the heating head is in its operative position is not fixed but may be shorter or longer depending on how fast the carousel rotates (faster of slower respectively).
  • Heating head 20 comprises a vertical axis cylindrical shell 24 attached to frame 22 and terminating at its opposite ends with a lower wall 26 and an upper wall 28 which are provided with respective axial openings 26a, 28a.
  • a spiral-shaped resistor 30 is coaxially supported within shell 24 and defines a substantially cylindrical heated chamber 30a, which is sized to surround the bottle neck with capsule when the head is lowered in its operative position.
  • the cylindrical wall of shell 20 consists of a layer of an insulating material 20a sandwitched between two steel sheets 20b, 20c. Spiral resistor 30 is connectable to power supply means via a connector 31.
  • Frame 22 supports a vertical bush 44, in which a hollow column 46 having a ballast 48 fixed to its upper end is axially slidable.
  • a cooling tube 50 is coaxially supported within hollow column 46 and has its upper end connectable to a cold air feeding pump P (only diagrammatically shown in Fig. 3 ). The lower end of cooling tube 50 is connected to an air nozzle 52 attached to the lower end of column 46.
  • Actuator 34 is operatively connected to a hydraulic pump A controlled by a control unit CU (only diagrammatically shown in Fig. 3 ).
  • Control unit CU is programmed to raise shield 32 when carousel 18 has reached a predetermined angular position (which is conventionally detected by a sensor, not shown) immediately after the bottle has been trasferred to carousel 18 and the head has been lowered to surround the neck of the bottle, and then to drop shield 32 after a predetermined period of time chosen such as to expire before, or at most at the same time that, the head starts rising again.
  • the capsule is heated for a fixed, controlled period of time which does not depend on the carousel speed, with considerable reduction, or even elimination, of the rejects resulting from over-radiation or under-radiation of the capsule.
  • the shield and the frame supporting the latter can be manufactured in such a way as to be very light, so that the shield may be driven very quickly and the transient between its upper position and its lower position can be minimized. Consequently, an even heating action is substantially applied for the same period of time upon all the areas of the capsule.
  • the heating action is preferably, but not necessarily, applied for a period of time such that, even when the carousel rotates at its maximum speed, shield 32 is dropped before head 20 starts rising.
  • the actuator which operates the shield may be of a different type, e.g., it could be a pneumatic or electric actuator.
  • the shield is controlled in such a way that it switches from its working position to its resting position after the head has reached its operative position, and then from its resting position to its working position before the head starts rising again, so that the capsule is not subjected to the heating action while the head moves, in order to prevent the above cited unevennes.
  • the timer could be adjusted in a different way, e.g., when the carousel speed is high enough to make this transient irrelevant.
