SLITTING
CLOSURE SLITTING
NESTECH
Closure slitting produces tamper evident breakaway rings on plastic closures. The cutting process makes a series of cuts and bridges in the cap wall.
These slits can be done in the mold. However, mold costs and maintenance are drastically reduced when slitting is done as a secondary operation . There is also a danger that the weakened cap will be damaged upon ejection from the mold.
Nestech machines slit the caps and provide a fold-in feature for any hooks or retaining rings. The caps are completely processed and ready for lining.
Nestech uses straight knife and traditional curved knife slitting processes to produce a breakaway tamper-evident ring on closures. Our knives do NOT need to be heated. Bands are cut to completely break-away upon opening or retained on the bottle.
