Automatic Rim Rolling Machine from WM Wrapping Machinery SA

Continuing the roundup of machine accessories, built by WM Wrapping Machinery SA, to optimize the production of thermoformed articles, today we examine the groups' automatic rim rolling machines for conical cups and containers.
These rimming units are widely used in the production of disposable cups, which can be made from various materials: Polystyrene, Polypropylene, APET or PLA.
Disposable cups, in most cases, are required to have a rolled rim around the upper part, the mouth, of the cup. This operation rounds off the edge, folding the lip under the rim, to make contact with the lip more comfortable when drinking from the cup and giving the cup greater rigidity at the same time.
Disposable thermoformed plastic cups can be produced on thermoforming machines known as "form-punch" machines i.e. performing the process of forming and punching out the perimeter of the cup simultaneously in the same station. These machines have a tilting lower half-mould which rotates by 75 degrees, allowing the automatic extraction of the products from the mould, their stacking and transport, in a continuous feed, to the subsequent operations of the line. Or alternatively, using a thermoforming machine with a large forming area in combination with a separate high speed horizontal trim press for cutting the perimeter of the cups, which is therefore secondary to the forming stage.
The selection of one system rather than the other is related to the raw material that will be used. Polystyrene has good dimensional stability and a very low shrinkage rate during cooling and this allows the cups to utilize the separate second stage trim press option. For polypropylene it is necessary to form and cut in the same station, to avoid inaccuracies in the perimeter cut due to shrinkage of the material during cooling that can occur between the forming station and a separate trim press.
There are also plants defined as "in-line", with very high production capacities, which also incorporate the sheet extrusion process. These lines start with the raw material in granules and finish with the packaging of the finished product. So it's therefore a true production island.
WM Wrapping Machinery SA designs and manufactures both of these production systems described above.
In the case of the most common, 200cc disposable cups, a line for polypropylene produces about 125,000 pieces/hour while a line for polystyrene can' reach up to 200,000 cups/hour.
It goes without saying then that WM has created two different types of automatic rimming machine, each intended for one of the two types of lines described above and each adapted to the characteristics of the material to be processed. So to put it more simply, one rim roller for polystyrene cups and another for polypropylene and PET.
The two units differ mainly in the length of the rim-rolling screw (longer for polypropylene cups and shorter for polystyrene cups) and also the system of infrared heating which, for the polystyrene is housed in a tunnel before the entrance of the cups into the rim-rolling cylinders, and for polypropylene the heating extends along the length of the three rim-rolling screws, creating a closed chamber through which the stack of cups passes.
Once rimmed the cups exit from the screws and are automatically transported by a conveyor belt to the downstream units for counting, film sleeving and subsequent boxing operations.
When the cups come out from the punch and die mould or in-line trim press, the upper edge is formed into an inverted U shape. The size and thickness of this edge are critical and must therefore be carefully considered when the mould is made and these parameters must be constantly maintained during the thermoforming process to ensure a perfect flange and an adequate uniform aesthetic appearance.
The rim-rolling screws are obviously the heart of the system and the profile of the grooves that constitute the thread of the screw are produced according to the type of cup, the stacking step and the material with which the cup has been formed, taking into account the dimensional shrinkage of the material.
It should be considered that there is a very wide range of cups with different diameter openings, just think of the difference between the classic coffee cup and a glass of beer. For this reason, the rim-rolling screws can easily be changed according to the design of the cup and readily adjusted in relation to the cup's diameter. The rimming machine can be quickly retooled by the operator in a few simple steps, to make fast, easy and safe production changes.
WM Wrapping Machinery SA has more than twenty years experience in the design and application of these ancillary units, which complete its thermoforming machines, whether they are in the "in-line" with extruders or "off-line" fed from material on the reel.
The Federal's pistol slid into its holster and his sabre flashed out. He threw its curved point up in a splendid salute. Ferry saluted with his straight blade. Then both swords rang back into their scabbards, and Jewett whirled away toward his column. For a moment we lingered, then faced to the left, trotted, galloped. Over the fence and into the road went he--went I. Down it, as we crossed, the blue column was just moving again. Then the woods on the south swallowed us up. "All right, sir." that before. Meanwhile the parallelism between Thought and Extension was not exhausted by the identification just analysed. Extension was not only a series of movements; it still remained an expression for co-existence and adjacency.412 Spinoza, therefore, felt himself obliged to supply Thought with a correspondingly continuous quality. It is here that his chief originality lies, here that he has been most closely followed by the philosophy of our own time. Mind, he declares, is an attribute everywhere accompanying matter, co-extensive and co-infinite with space. Our own animation is the sum or the resultant of an animation clinging to every particle that enters into the composition of our bodies. When our thoughts are affected by an external impulse, to suppose that this impulse proceeds from anything material is a delusion; it is produced by the mind belonging to the body which acts on our body; although in what sense this process is to be understood remains a mystery. Spinoza has clearly explained the doctrine of animal automatism, and shown it to be perfectly conceivable;569 but he has entirely omitted to explain how the parallel influence of one thought (or feeling) on another is to be understood; for although this too is spoken of as a causal relation, it seems to be quite different from the logical concatenation described as the infinite intellect of God; and to suppose that idea follows from idea like movement from movement would amount to a complete materialisation of mind; while our philosopher would certainly have repudiated Mr. Shadworth Hodgson’s theory, that states of consciousness are only connected through their extended substratum, as the segments of a mosaic picture are held together by the underlying surface of masonry. Nor can we admit that Spinoza entertained the theory, now so popular, according to which extension and consciousness are merely different aspects of a single reality. For this would imply that the substance which they manifest had an existence of its own apart from its attributes; whereas Spinoza makes it consist of the attributes, that is to say, identifies it with their totality. We are forced, then, to conclude that the proposition declaring thought and extension to be the same thing570 has no413 other meaning than that they are connected by the double analogy which we have endeavoured to explain. “Oh, he’s welcome to it,” Sandy cried. “I’ve turned over a new leaf!” “But—are they?” He pulled a wire out a trifle from the sheath. The sergeant spent more time upon the oaths with which he embellished the counter-question as to how he should know anything about it, than would have been consumed in a civil explanation. "Doctor, he can't die. He mustn't die," said Shorty in agony. "The regiment can't spare him. He's the best soldier in it, and he's my pardner." AND ENTERS UPON HIS PARENTAL RELATIONS TO LITTLE PETE SKIDMORE. "Holy smoke, look there," gasped Monty Scruggs, as a company of rebel cavalry came tearing over the hill in front, to the assistance of their comrades. "That's about it," answered Shorty disdainfully. "That's the way with all cavalry, dad-burn 'em. They're like a passel o' fice pups. They're all yelp and bark, and howl and showin' o' teeth. They're jest goin' to tear you to pieces. But when you pick up a stone or a club, or git ready to give 'em a good kick they're gone, the devil knows where. They're only an aggravation. You never kin do nothin' with 'em, and they kin do nothin' with you. I never kin understand why God Almighty wasted his time in makin' cavalry of any kind, Yank or rebel. All our own cavalry's good for is to steal whisky and chickens from honest soldiers of the infantry. The infantry's the only thing. It's like the big dog that comes up without any special remarks, and sets his teeth in the other dog. The thing only ends when one dog or the other is badly whipped and somethin's bin accomplished." "Mmm." Reuben started out of the half-waking state into which he had fallen. It was late in the afternoon, the sunlight had gone, and a wintry twilight crept up the wall. Maude the dairy-woman was looking in at the door. It was about a month subsequent to this, that one morning, as Turner was making the anvil ring with the ponderous strokes of his hammer, two retainers from the castle entered the shed, and delivered an order from De Boteler for his immediate attendance. Wat laid the hammer on the anvil, and, passing the back of his right hand across his forehead, to clear away the large drops that stood there, looked with a kind of smile at the men as he said, HoME泷泽萝拉四部和集下载
