CAPPING

ROTARY

Available as a stand-alone system or integrated into a rotary filler, the capper is equipped with a series of pneumatic or magnetic chucks that apply rotational force to a cap closure on a rigid container. A wide variety of cap formats (screw, press-on or ROPP) are loaded into a bulk, floor level vibratory hopper that feeds a cap elevator to achieve an oriented, single file configuration for the closure. These are then transferred into a “cap chute” that is timed to dispense the cap as the container passes the chute discharge point prior to the capper chuck applying the rotational torque.

IN-LINE 

In-line cappers use a series of motor driven spindles with round, clutch brake discs to apply rotational torque to the closure after the cap has been transferred from the cap chute. Spindle cappers do not provide as precise a level of torque control as chuck style cappers and often require a retorquer if the closure contains an induction seal feature.

OVER CAPPING

On large diameter containers used for dry products, a press-on overcap is often used to provide a resealable feature when there is only an induction or foil seal on the container. These are generally used on cylindrical containers of hot chocolate, drink mixes, protein powders and some snack foods.
