Rotary screw capping machine EQUATORQUE PK

asepticautomaticfor plastic screw caps

Overview
Capping machine with brushless motors controlling vertical and rotary spindles. The cam for vertical spindle movement can be driven by turret angular position or by time; in time mode the closure cycle can be replicated independently from turret speed, ensuring consistent inertia control.

• Pre-threaded plastic caps
• Pre-threaded flat plastic caps
• Pre-threaded sport plastic caps

Performance

• Production speed: up to 1,200 bpm – 72,000 bph
