PL 300

2-Piece Paperboard Lid Forming Machine

Each step in the forming process is controlled by an individual Bosch servo motor—simplifying the mechanical complexity of station design and providing more feedback on machine operation.
Built on the same servo platform as the 2500S cup forming machine, the production floor footprint required is far smaller than that needed for a spiral wound lid.

Options available for either blank-fed or roll-fed infeed platforms for ease of implementation with printed graphics
Servo-driven infeed controls the sidewall unwind
Sidewall die can be up to 22″ (558mm) in length
The platen cutter is equipped with a steel rule die, with the cutting and creasing process performed in a single station—helping to facilitate a zero paper waste system*

*available with roll-fed infeed only

Produce lids for paperboard cups or containers of various shapes and sizes up to 48 oz.
Roll stock is registered and fed through the registration system
Process can be configured for either roll-fed or blank-fed
Supports both offset and flexo printed material for enhanced graphic quality

Push incurl station used to push the sidewall over, sealing it to the lid disk, and helping to maintain graphic quality
Crimper station is a reverse expander and will create the nesting feature to allow for easy stacking and storage
Various finishing options available including rolled, crimped, and smooth edge to achieve the final aesthetic of the lid
Standard bottom finish station is used for round lids and an expanded finish station is used for non-round lids

Allows for increased control to produce shorter style lids as it transfers the lid from the mandrel turret to the finish turret
Using a combination of a vacuum and simple stripper station, the lid is mechanically transferred from the mandrel into the pocket in preparation to finish the edge of each lid

Push incurl and expander stations are used to fold the rim inward and seal the lid
Snap-and-lock feature available for the inside of the lip to ensure a secure fit to cup or container

Conveyor system will expel lids from the machine, hitting a bar and flipping right side up prior to being placed on the conveyor

Complete control of the production process, temperature, and air pressure settings through a fully integrated PLC control panel

Built on servo platform to minimize footprint and avoid time-consuming process
Produces lids at speeds up to 170 per minute
Delivers unmatched flexibility and agility to create lids in multiple shapes and sizes for use with cups and containers up to 48 oz.
Optimized for use with printed graphics with roll-fed and blank-fed infeed options available
Offers various finishing options including rolled, crimped, or smooth edge
Snap-and-lock feature ensures a secure fit to the cup or container
Remote VPN connection for service and troubleshooting
