- the gas can contain water vapor.
- the moistening device has a spray device for applying the treatment agent to the bottle cap.
- the spray device can have at least one spray element for spraying the bottle cap with the treatment agent.
- the spray element is preferably designed to apply the treatment agent to the bottle cap from the side, from above and/or from below.
- the material property is a moisture content of the bottle cap.
- the material property can also be a temperature of the bottle cap.
- the material treatment device can specifically change the moisture content and another material property, in particular a temperature of the bottle cap.
- the material treatment device has a drying device for drying the bottle cap.
- the drying device can have a fan.
- the drying device comprises a heating device for introducing heat energy into the bottle cap.
- the heating device can have a heating element.
- the heating element can be electrically operated.
- the folding process is carried out before the pressing process. This allows an aesthetic fold line to be produced on the bottle cap during folding.
- the material treatment process is carried out before, during or after the placement process, the folding process and/or the pressing process.
- the material treatment process can treat the bottle cap even before the placement process.
- the material treatment process is carried out before the folding process and that there is a predetermined time interval between the completion of the material treatment process and the start of the folding process. This allows the treatment agent to take effect on the bottle cap for a certain amount of time.
