Abstract:

A crimping mechanism for an electric capping machine has a rapidly adjustable threaded ferrule and a crimping head base with a calibrated bracket, enabling the operator to simplify adjustments for changes in container size. The crimping roller is mounted to exert a substantially constant pressure against the container cap, and thereby increase its crimping efficiency.
