A method and apparatus for cutting moils from necks of molded plastic containers and installing spouts in the necks are disclosed. The apparatus includes a pick and place mechanism that rotates along an arcuate path transporting the containers between a cutting station, a facing station and an assembly station positioned along the path. An oven located above the assembly station heats spouts which are coated with a hot-melt adhesive. The heated spouts are supplied to the assembly station under gravity feed. The method includes cutting the moils from the container necks at the cutting station, finishing the neck by burnishing and reaming at the facing station, heating the spouts in the oven, orienting the spouts and inserting them into the finished necks of the containers at the assembly station.
L'invention porte sur un procédé et un appareil pour couper des calottes à partir de cols de conteneurs en matière plastique moulée et installer des becs dans les cols. L'appareil comprend un mécanisme de saisie et de disposition qui tourne le long d'un trajet en forme d'arc, transportant les conteneurs entre un poste de coupe, un poste de tournage et un poste d'assemblage positionnés le long du trajet. Un four disposé au-dessus du poste d'assemblage chauffe des becs qui sont revêtus d'un adhésif thermofusible. Les becs chauffés sont adressés au poste d'assemblage par une alimentation par gravité. Le procédé comprend la coupe des calottes à partir des cols de conteneur dans le poste de coupe, la finition du col par polissage et alésage au poste de tournage, le chauffage des becs dans le four, l'orientation des becs et l'insertion de ceux-ci dans les cols finis des conteneurs au poste d'assemblage.
