Facet misalignment and scuffing
Non-round bodies self-rotate during conveyor turns causing surface scratching. FPM uses custom Delrin separation guides.

Container Format / Closure Spec
Container Format
Premium shaped glass jars (TO-58 / TO-66) using low-shear rotary spool valves for fruit preserves.
Closure Spec
Hexagonal Glass Jar
Adaptation Area
Custom starswheel timing guides & flat alignment belts
Critical Dimension
Opposing flat width & shoulder facet angle
Engineering Assessment
Engineering Adaptation & Assessment Board
Suitable Sauces
Premium particulate tomato sauce with particulates, gourmet chili sauce with visible seeds.
Impact on Filler
Requires rotary spool valves or volumetric lobe dosing pumps. Low-shear filling is critical to prevent tomato crushing or seed shear damage.
Impact on Capper
Requires precise torque limiters. Non-round jars need dedicated non-slip holding belts during vacuum twist-off capping.
Impact on Labeler
Requires orientation sensors and customized timing starwheels. Label applicator must align exactly with the flat facet of the hexagon.
Required Samples
120 pcs of empty hexagonal jars, 200 pcs of caps, and 10L of tomato sauce/sauce with maximum particulate sizes.
Packaging Line Risks
Packaging Line Risks
Lid thread stripping
Jar geometry makes centering hard for cap heads. FPM implements side-stabilizing clamp bands.
Label air pockets
Slight deviations on facets cause label wrinkles. FPM uses three-roller pneumatic wrap-around systems.
Engineering Response
Adaptation Route
01
Facet Modeling Scan
Collecting sub-millimeter facet coordinates to model custom tooling.
02
CNC Starwheel Cutting
Milling precise timing pockets conforming to hexagonal bottle width.
03
Oriented Labeler Calibrating
Synchronizing bottle rotation speed with label feed speed.
04
Soft Stacking Verification
Ensuring no glass-to-glass hard impacts on downstream packaging gates.
