Capping Machine

Capping Machine
This high-performance straight through capper is designed to handle a wide range of cap shapes and sizes. It is easy to run,easy to adjust and use a minimum of components to provide versatile,high quality capping.

The versatile cap is designed for rapid change over by using a minimum of cap size change parts. One sorter,chute, and adjustable chute end can handle most caps in either the 13-38mm or 38-70mm size range. A simple quick-change adjustable chute end that snaps into position without tools is needed for each major cap size variation.

Operation principle
Cushioned gripper belts are adjustable to move containers of nearly any size and shape smoothly through the capping operation without the need for timing stars or feed screws. Caps are positioned from a chute in the cap escapement assembly, picked up by the container neck finish and positioned for tightening.

An independently driven overhead assembly with matching sets of polyurethane disc assures tight capping. The first set of disc gives caps a quick initial twist. The next set of discs draws the cap onto the container neck. The cap sorter, tightening discs, and machine/conveyor are controlled through three electrically controlled by variable speed drives.
