Electropneumatic capping machine

pneumaticmagneticelectronically controlled

Overview
Electropneumatic bench-top capper designed for screwing plastic screw caps including dispensers, flip-tops and spray caps. Compact format for manual feeding and integration at control stations.

Design
Drive with magnetic hysteresis clutch providing adjustable torque and a pneumatically controlled three-sector screwing head. Rotation speed set via inverter to match cap characteristics.

Gripping and tooling
Depending on cap format, tooling options include interchangeable three-sector rubber grippers sized by diameter, machined stainless-steel mandrels for externally knurled caps, or friction rubber for top gripping. Tooling is designed for quick change to reduce setup time.

Operation
The operator places the cap manually on the bottle neck and actuates the two-hand control to start the screwing cycle. Maintain pressure until cycle completion; releasing controls returns the head to start position. Two-hand control ensures safe operation.
