Description

The current crown chute has a more complex constructional geometry, the cleaning of the chute requires greater care.

The performance of the current chute with vibrator foresees 1/10,000 cap jam.

In case of crown stoppage the channel cannot be opened; so it is necessary to empty it, removing the caps blocking.

The new crown chute has been designed to optimise the cleaning operations, making it easy to inspect thanks to the simple geometry
