Manufactured entirely in stainless steel, the single-head crown capper CX applies crown caps on glass or aluminium bottles by deforming the cap on the bottle neck to clamp together tightly. Composed of a single capping station placed above the star-wheel which feeds the bottles through the capper, the unit provides extreme accuracy and guarantees the perfect closure of the cap.
- Durable and sturdy to enable infallible closure and withstand any operating conditions
- “No bottle — no cap” safety system stops if the bottle is not in place
Method of operation:
Caps are loaded in the vibrating hopper – feeder, where are correctly positioned, and distributed through the feeding chute in the closing head with the closing cone, of the capping station. Cap is being centered with the closing cone and waits for the bottle. Filled bottles are transported through the capping unit, with the help of a star-wheel, in a smooth step motion. When bottle is under the capping unit, the closing head with cap will descent to the bottle. The bottle neck will push the cap up in the closing cone, and will deform the cap so, that will clamp the bottle neck. Capping head will lift, and bottle is transported from the turret with the help of a same star wheel. All the components’ motions are cam operated, allowing repeatability of capping process on all the bottles.
Main features:
- Vibrating cap sorter-feeder mounted on top of the machine.
- Cap descending chute with minimum cap level sensor.
- Bottle transfer star-wheel with smooth step motion.
- Closing head with the closing cone made of hardened steel.
- Capping head motion unit, cam operated.
- Manual height adjustment of the top part of the capper, with height indicator.
Additional applications:
- Closing cone + ending part of the chute for crown cap different size.
- Bidule insertion unit before crown capping.
- Nitrogen injection in the bottle neck, before cap distribution.
- Electrical height adjustment.
