Not only is it appealing to the eye, the T-type Vinolok closure is also made from high-quality glass and is resistant against mechanical damage which makes it the safest and the most popular closure for glass bottles by far.
Composed of a single-head capping station, SRAML automatic FP press-on T-cap capper ensures that glass bottles are tightly sealed, one by one, while being gently and safely conveyed through the capper without the liquid spilling.
Method of operation – T-cap capping:
Caps are loaded in the vibrating hopper – feeder, where are correctly positioned, and distributed through the feeding chute in the closing head, of the capping station. 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 corking unit, its being lifted to the closing head, with the help of mechanical bottle lifter. When bottle is lifter end centered with the cap, a plunger will push the T-cork in the bottle neck. All the components’ motions are cam operated, allowing repeatability of corking process on all the bottles. Corked bottles transported from the turret with the help of a same star wheel.
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.
- Cam operated mechanical bottle lifter.
- Cam operated cork insertion plunger.
- Manual height adjustment of the top part of the capper with height indicator.
Additional applications:
- Cap descending chute, for additional cap.
- Nitrogen injection in the bottle neck, before cap distribution.
- Electrical height adjustment.
