Abstract (en)
The specification discloses a method and apparatus for accurately positioning a lid of a series of lids above a container flange in preparation for tha heat sealing operation. The apparatus is designed to maintain the production rate of prior art filling and packaging machines while still 2 precisely locating a lid such that little or no overhang of the lid relative to the flange of a container occurs. This is achieved by providing a start and stop type conveyor with individual conveyor plates (120) provided with alignment lugs (122, 124) for urging the flange of a container and a lid into alignment. This system is particularly valuable in the packaging of individual creamer containers.
