Cap bottles gently and precisely with this capper
This company has introduced a servo-driven chuck capper offering precision torque and gentle handling without costly bottle-change parts. The Acrobat Chuck Capper (photo) is available in single- and dual-head formats capable of processing up to 90 units per minute. The new capper’s proprietary technology and parallel belts eliminate the expense of making and storing change parts for most bottles; for the smallest bottles, only minor, inexpensive parts are needed for fast, easy changeover. Regardless, the Acrobat’s servo motor operation provides accurate, repeatable torque control and, for difficult threads, also can perform counterclockwise thread seating. — TurboFil Packaging Machines LLC, Mt.
