The crown closure machine (crowner or capper are alternative names) is placed close to the filler. It is charged with crown corks and these closures are delivered one by one from a slide. The bottle is raised to the crown cork and pressure is applied to the top of the crown in order to seal the liner to the bottle, then the crimped edges of the closure are pressed tightly over the top of the bottle. In many cases the crowns are jetted with a blast of air to remove foreign matter from inside the closure, especially chips of lacquer and cork dust in the case of closures with cork seals. The crown is made of steel, coated with resin or enamel, and the seal embedded in it is either cork or plastic. In some cases the cork is partly covered by a plastic or aluminium disc.
