Rotary Capping Machine for Maximum Production Efficiency
For manufacturers with large-scale production volumes, efficiency and flexibility are critical to success of the business. For maximum efficiency and production speed in bottled products, nothing beats a rotary capping machine. The design of these machines allows multiple capping heads to be used at the same time, while containers move around a sort of carousel inside the capping turret itself. The ability to work with more than one capping head simultaneously provides rotary capping machines with unmatched scalability and flexibility, allowing for production line speeds ranging from 3,000 to 60,000 containers capped per hour.
In the video below, you can see a typical rotary capping machine in action. This machine is fitted with 12 magnetic capping heads, which gives it a maximum line speed of 24,000 bottles per hour.
Bottles which have been previously sealed with an interior liner move into the rotary capping machine, where they move around the carousel as each bottle makes contact with one of the twelve capping heads, securing the caps in rapid succession. This particular model is the TEDELTA-CAR-100-TR, which uses a pick and place cap delivery system and is compatible with a wide variety of cap shapes, sizes and materials. The other base model is the TEDELTA-CAR-100-ST, which uses the pick-off system and is compatible with aluminum caps, like pilfer proof, ROPP and stel-caps.
Additional flexibility in your rotary capping machine
The two models of rotary capping machine are fine when your products all use caps that are compatible with a single cap delivery system, or when you only need to apply one type of caps during any given production run. But there is a way to increase the flexibility of your capping system so that it can use both types of cap delivery simultaneously, or simply allow the use of multiple cap types on the line at one time. It involves the use of a duplex monoblock. You can see this type of setup in the video below:
The duplex monoblock can be used in a rotary capping machine to allow you to run two types of caps on the line at the same time, using different cap delivery systems if necessary. Essentially, it allows you to combine the pick-off and pick & place systems for maximum flexibility.
