Deflash Machinery

Our deflash machines are designed for vertical and horizontal positioning of the container. Standard units for low and medium volume can straddle existing conveyors or stand-alone. High volume deflashing applications require a servo indexing system complete with a bottle reject. Customers can choose center distances to handle families of containers, bottle scrap locations and control systems. Stand-alone deflashing units feature a modular base and operating system for future machinery additions.

Chipless Dome Cut, Facing and Reaming

Designed for vertical and horizontal positioning of the container. All units are stand-alone and designed with modular bases for fit with R&B Deflash Machinery. Single to multiple heads are determined for production line speeds. All machines are indexing (escapement and servo) and feature finish clamp assemblies to precisely hold containers for finish operations. All feed units are servo driven with mounting plates for chipless or precision cutter assemblies. Chipless dome cutting utilizes R&B hollow spindle cutter heads to knife cut excess plastic in a ring (no chips or particles) without spinning the container. Precision spindle box assemblies with R&B cutter tooling designs are available for facing and container I.D. finishing.
