A seal and method of forming a seal for a resealable container includes a removable cap that is selectively received over a pour opening formed in a can body. A seal is adhered to the end wall of the cap and includes a continuous, first axial region extending outwardly from the inner surface of the cap. The seal first region is dimensioned for engagement with the opening in the container and sealing the container along an inner diameter thereof. Reduced on-torque/off-torque are required since the seal is formed on the inner diameter, and a down force is substantially reduced to assemble the cap to the container.

A control plate for effecting superior shut-off in a proportional control valve comprises a moveable disk-shaped element that has a flat surface, generally perpendicular to the valve axis of symmetry when closed, and translates toward or away from an orifice surrounded by a narrow lip or orifice ridge. Enhanced leak tightness in the valve shut-off condition is achieved by selectively incorporating into the control plate materials that are softer than the material comprising the orifice ridge.

Methods and devices for sizing and positioning fluid material, machine comprising the device and method for manufacturing a container closure are disclosed. A device for portioning and positioning a flowable sealing material, the device (100) having a flange-like portion (110) and a cylindrical portion (130), wherein (a) the flange-like portion (110) is connected to the cylindrical portion (130); (b) the cylindrical portion (130) has an end side (133) located at an end of the cylindrical portion (130) that faces away from the flange-like portion (110); and (c) the end side (133) has a face (134) that is inclined relative to an axis of the device (100) such that an angle (a) between the face (134) and the axis is less than 90, and the face is inclined upwards and outwards.

The present invention relates to a device for portioning and positioning a flowable sealing material. The purpose of the device is to make it easier to introduce the flowable material into a container closure. A device is proposed, which has a flange-like portion (110) and a cylindrical portion (130). The flange-like portion (110) is connected to the cylindrical portion (130). The cylindrical portion (130) has an end side (133), which is located at an end of the cylindrical portion (130) which faces away from the flange-like portion (110). The end side (133) has a face (134) that is inclined relative to an axis of the device (100) such that an angle (a:) between the face (134) and the axis is less than 90.

A method for applying a sealing member to a capsule intended for the preparation of a beverage in a device for making beverages, where the capsule includes a body having a bottom wall a side wall and a flange-like rim which extends from the side wall, comprises a step of applying a charge of sealing composition in a viscous state on the flange-like rim and a step of compression moulding the charge of sealing composition against the flange-like rim.

A method and an apparatus for applying a dose of sealing material to a closing cap of a container to form a gasket are disclosed, in which an annular dose is separated from a flow of plasticized material and is deposited on a base of the cap; the plasticized material is fed through a channel until it arrives at a material outlet extending along a circumferential direction; the annular dose comprises at least one differentiated portion, whereby a radial section in the differentiated portion of the annular dose is different from a radial section in another portion of the annular dose, where radial is understood to refer to an axis about which the annular dose extends in a circumferential direction; the presence of a differentiated portion decreases the risk of forming an air pocket between the sealing material and the caps.
