STEP 1
A cup is dispensed from a nested stack into each lane
STEP 2
A pneumatic piston in each lane draws product from a hopper and deposits it into a cup. There are sensors in place to avoid product dispense if a cup is not present
STEP 3
​A vacuum plunger grabs a foil lid and places it on top of the filled container in each lane.
STEP4
An induction heater presses onto each cup and seals the foil.
STEP 5
​Each cup is lifted to the carousel’s surface and swept off by an arm onto the customer’s handling equipment.
The standard tooling package features a carousel  (the dial) that offers twin lanes for cups. The carousel is mechanically synchronous with the positions of each element
