Screw top containers with width no more than 17 cm (7") and length no more than 25 cm (10"). For standard machines, height must be no more than 30 cm (12"). Optionally, the machine may equipped with an extended column for 35.5 cm (15").
Standard machines may be used for metal or plastic caps from 18 mm to 110 mm diameter. Chucks are interchangeable so that one machine can close different size caps.
Continuous motion, fixed speed models cycle at approximately 45 cycles per minute.
Continuous Motion, variable speed models can be adjusted to from approximately 5 to 45 cycles per minute.
This allows the machine to be adjusted to a comfortable speed of operation.
Single Cycle, on demand, models operate when an operator places a container.
Continuous motion, fixed speed models: The spinning chuck continuously moves up and down 44 mm. The
operator places a cap on the bottle and moves the bottle beside the chuck position. When the chuck begins its next up
movement, the operator puts the container into the “V” guide. The spinning chuck will tighten the cap on the next down
stroke and the operator will remove the container on the next up movement of the chuck. Often, the operator will need to
allow one cycle or more between removal of one container and placement of the next.
Continuous motion, variable speed models: The spinning chuck continuously moves up and down 44 mm at
a rate so that the cycle speed would be comfortable for the operator to place and remove one container every cycle. The
operator places a cap on the bottle and moves the bottle beside the chuck position. When the chuck begins its next up
movement, the operator puts the container into the “V” guide. The spinning chuck will tighten the cap on the next down
stroke and the operator will remove the container on the next up movement of the chuck.
Single Cycle, on demand models: The operator places a cap on the bottle and pushes the container into the “V”
guide where the container contacts a switch which causes the chuck to cycle one time. The spinning chuck will tighten
the cap on the next down stroke and the operator will remove the container on the up movement of the chuck.
The machine is shipped assembled. It is placed on a table beside the filling area, so that it is convenient for the operator. The controls are available with 110-120 v or 220-230 v, 50 or 60 hz, 1 phase electrics.
The height is adjusted by a rack and gear system.
Chucks are available for cap sizes with diameters from 10 to 120 mm and are easily changed. Torque is adjusted on the clutch control.
The machine should be regularly cleaned and oil added to the oil pan.
The dispenser and applicator systems are available with 110-120 v or 220-230 v, 50 or 60 hz, 1 phase electrics. Less than 5 amps is required for operation.
Extended column This allows the tightening of caps on containers with height
to 385 mm/15".
Chuck Guard The guard surronds the chuck to prevent accidental hand/chuck contact.
Approximately 28 cm x 60 cm.
