Schraubverschlüssen

Schraubverschlüssen are a common type of closure used for containers such as bottles, jars, and tubes. Their primary function is to create a secure seal, preventing the contents from leaking out and protecting them from external contamination. The mechanism relies on the principle of a screw thread, where a rotating motion causes a helical ridge on the cap to engage with a corresponding ridge on the container's opening, effectively tightening the seal.

The design of Schraubverschlüssen can vary significantly depending on the intended application. Materials commonly used include plastics like polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP), as well as metals such as aluminum. The internal surface of the cap often features a liner, which can be made of materials like foamed polyethylene or polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), to ensure a tighter seal and prevent interaction between the cap and the product.

Schraubverschlüssen are widely used across various industries, including food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and chemicals. Their ease of use, reusability, and cost-effectiveness make them a popular choice for manufacturers. Safety features, such as tamper-evident bands that break upon first opening, are often incorporated into the design to provide consumers with assurance of product integrity. The development of specialized Schraubverschlüssen continues, focusing on improved sealing performance, child resistance, and enhanced sustainability.
