Vertical capping machine

pneumaticmanualmanually-operated

Overview
Benchtop pneumatic flip-top capper for controlled torque tightening of twist-off and plastic screw caps. Stainless steel base. Manual height adjustment of the capping head via handwheel with counter providing a reference for container height. Standard maximum container height 350 mm (customizable). Vertical pressure and torque adjustable; mechanical neck-grip for low-density plastic bottles. Custom PVC centering/positioning devices available for small bottles.

Operation
The operator adjusts settings to container and cap size, places the cap in the spindle or on the container mouth and presses both side buttons to close the cap. Torque is regulated by air supply pressure and remains constant and repeatable once set. A spring-loaded compensator softens the contact phase between cap and container.

Pneumatic supply and installation recommendations
The capper is fully pneumatic and requires a compressor. Recommended: 2 HP, tank ≥ 80 L, air flow ≥ 300 Nl/min; oil-less unit, preferably silenced. Pneumatic components are designed to run dry; no lubrication required. Pneumatic vane motor with stainless steel casing available in different torque versions. Air consumption: max. 190 Nl/min at 7 bar.

Format change
A dedicated spindle is required per cap format. Options: stainless steel or aluminum body; balls and spring for cap insertion; friction rubber or internal knurling to match cap shape. Magnetic chucks available for metal twist-off caps: 038, 43, 48, 53, 58, 63, 66, 70, 77, 82 (standard and deep).
