3.2.5 Punch & plugger - TATOCOLOR TA only
The punch & plugger is a device that perforates the can lid, then (after dispensing) inserts a
plastic plug in the hole made.
On the machine accessorized with the punch, a can centering device (custom-made) can be
mounted as an optional accessory on the shelf surface, essential for aligning the cans with the
nozzle center, so that the can lid is punched in the middle, dispensing precisely into the hole
created, and correctly inserting the plastic plug. The can centering device is also available as an
optional accessory to the standard machine.
Manual punch
(Figure 3-9)
The operator punches the can manually, by pulling on the suitable lever (2) that lowers down the
manual punch (3); this requires that the enabling button (1) be simultaneously pressed, for
obvious safety reasons (chapter 7.3.2). Punching is allowed only if a can has been correctly
loaded into the machine.
Manual plugger
(Figure 3-9)
The plastic plug is inserted by pulling on the suitable lever (2) that lowers down the manual
plugger (4); this requires that the enabling button (1) be simultaneously pressed, for obvious
safety reasons (chapter 7.3.4). The plug insertion is allowed only if a can has been correctly
loaded into the machine.
The green enabling button
(1) is active (and can therefore release the punch/plugger lever)
only if it is illuminated, that is when the following conditions occur: correct positioning of the can
and opening of the sliding Autocap.
