Product catalog summary
Overview: The LR-1 Lip Roller is a single station machine designed for prototype lip rolling applications. It is used to evaluate and test lip-rolled containers before investing in multi-cavity tooling and production lip rolling screws.
Specifications and Process: The process involves positioning a round container on a mandrel, initiating the start sequence, spinning the container, and heating the lip with a heater arm. After heating, the roller arm rolls the lip. The machine's electrical, pneumatic, and mechanical functions are controlled by timers and stops for repeatability.

LR-1 Series-1

Single Station LR-1 Lip Roller A single station lip roller designed for prototype lip rolling applications. The LR-1 lip rolling process is initiated by positioning a round container on a mandrel and then activating the start sequence. The container begins spinning and a heater arm is moved inward to a pre-set position to heat the lip of the container. At the completion of the heat cycle the heater arm is retracted and the roller arm with mandrel is set in motion to roll the lip of the product. Electrical, pneumatic and mechanical functions are controlled by timers and stops to achieve a repeatable process. Each mandrel is designed specific to the containers internal mouth dimensions to provide optimum fit and rotation during the lip rolling stage. The LR-1 is a cost effective lab environment machine that allows evaluation and testing of lip rolled containers prior to the investment of multicavity tooling and production lip rolling screws.
