Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses for lidding an open container are provided herein. A system for lidding an open container includes a sealing assembly coupled to a housing and configured to dispense film lidding material for interaction with an open end of a container disposed proximate thereto. At least a portion of the sealing assembly is vertically translatable relative to the housing. The system includes at least one substantially vertical rail extending from the housing. The at least one substantially vertical rail is configured to guide the substantial vertical translation of the at least the portion of the sealing assembly.

Abstract: An apparatus for lidding an open container includes a housing, a feed mechanism, and a sealing assembly. The housing is configured to support a roll of a film lidding material. The feed mechanism is configured to communicate a portion of the film lidding material from the housing toward a dispense location. The sealing assembly is attached to the housing and configured to present the film lidding material for interaction with an open end of a container disposed underneath and proximate thereto. The sealing assembly is movable relative to the housing between a first position vertically above the open end of the container and a second position suitable for establishing contact between the film lidding material and the open end and enabling sealing of the film lidding material around the open end. The sealing assembly is configured for substantially vertical translation between the first position and the second position.

Abstract: System for heat shrink sealing open-topped containers wherein the system includes a housing or enclosure wherein a majority of a bulk roll of film material is accessible when the cover is open. The system preferably includes two opposing rollers that are configured to engage the film and cause it to move to a dispensing position. In a preferred aspect, the system includes a movable sealing unit that accommodates use of the lidding system with open ended containers having various sizes and shapes. In a more preferred aspect, the system includes an indicia generating device operable to label sealed containers and a knife that generates a perforation in the film during sealing operations.
