System Operation
As the tray/case enters the machine, it moves onto a powered chain elevator which lifts it up through the forming and sealing stations. In sequence with the moving tray/case a lid blank is pulled from the hopper by vacuum cups and moved into position over the tray or case The tray/case and lid blank come together at right angles so that the hot melt glue can be applied to two sides of the lid and two sides of the tray/case. The lid is then formed by the compression shoes and the glue is set. The forming station of the VL 480 makes use of the filled tray/case as the forming mandrel. The compression shoes then release the sealed case and it is moved to the discharge area.
