capper – укупорочная машина для колпачков

liner – вкладыш, прокладка, подкладка

Replacing apple juice and cider packaging from glass to plastic can be more complex than it might appear on the surface. Just ask Tree Top Company.

When the company decided to make the change, it soon learned that not just any plastic cap and liner will do. Required was the “right” closure that would let it avoid product spoilage, and attain the capping speeds that maximize productivity.

Since it opened for business in the 1940s, Tree Top has traditionally packaged its gallon apple juice and cider products in glass bottles. In recent years, customers began requesting a lighter weight package. Being sensitive to customers’ desires, Tree Top researched alternative package options to its heavy glass gallon bottles.

The closure and liner problem caused extensive downtime (простой) on the capping line to make adjustments, as well as cap misapplications, which meant a potential product spoilage problem. The only modification made was to redesign the bottle’s neck finish.

The new closure combination system allows to increase productivity through its capper by reducing the downtime previously needed to make adjustments. At the same time, it reduces misapplications and virtually eliminates any spoilage problems.
