CRA Fully Automatic Crimping Machine for Pail Fillers and Drum Closing

Speed

Installation:

Your current plant staff can promptly install the closers. The only connections to establish are to your existing 3/8" plant airline; if the machine is equipped with motorized conveyors, the motor needs to be connected to a switched connection. Motors can be provided for all 50 and 60 Hz electrics. The conveyor height of the CRS and CRA model machines is adjustable to match your current conveyors.

Operation

CRA Automatic Models:

Before the pail enters the machine, lids are placed on top. The machine automatically aligns the pail, seals it, and discharges it.

CRS Semi-Automatic:

The operator places the lid, moves the pail beneath the closing head, and activates the two operating buttons. When the buttons are released, the closing head retreats to its up position. For CRS/220, the pressure head remains down, securing the drum lid tight while the operator attaches the ring clamp. The pressure head lifts when the operator hits the release button.

CRT Table Top Semi Automatic Models:

The operator positions the lid, moves the pail under the closing head, and activates the two operating buttons. This model doesn't include legs or a conveyor.

Change of Container:

Crimper heads on CRT, CRS, and CRA models can be swapped with minimal effort – release the lock nut and the closing head screws off the holding shaft. Height adjustments are accomplished via the rack and gear system. The can guides can be easily modified on CRA models to accommodate varying pail sizes.

Maintenance:

Crandall crimpers are engineered such that you don't require a technician for minor repairs. All bolts and fittings are standard sizes and don't require special tools.

Safety

CRA Automatic Models:

No operator presence is needed at the machine. Lids can be placed before the container is discharged from the filling machine. A safety guard is located at the closing station.

CRS and CRT Models:

These machines require a two-hand-anti-tie-down system, meaning the operator must use both hands to operate the machine.

* All models operate without electricity. Motors used for motorized conveyors are Class 1, Group D, Explosion Proof, and approved by UL and CSA.
