SEMI AUTOMATIC CAPPER -
Cappers
range in price from $2,000 to $139,000.
Depending on your product, speed and container.
Semi-Automatic Cappers
are designed to tighten the cap on a container or bottle but require
an operator to place the cap on the bottle. Semi-automatic cappers are
designed needing different levels of operator involvement.
The most simple semi-automatic cappers, often called hand held cappers
or manual assist cappers, require the operator to place the cap on the
container, hold the container, bring the hand held capper in touch
with the cap, and activate the hand held capper. (Hand held cappers
are approximately the size of a powered screw driver.) At the other
extreme of semi-automatic cappers are spindle cappers, often called
retorquers. Semi-automatic spindle cappers require the operator to
only place the cap on the container while the spindle capper
automatically handles the remainder of the capping operation. Single
head chuck cappers can also be used as semi-automatic cappers.
Spindle Cappers
use one of multiple pairs of counter rotating spindles. The gripper
wheels at the end of the spindles make contact with the cap and
tighten the cap on the container. The gap between the spindles gets
progressively smaller with each subsequent pair of spindles to
increase the force applied on the cap.
Spindle Cappers
have gripper belts which grip both sides of the container to move the
past the spindles and to prevent the container from spinning or
turning as the caps are being tightened. Spindle cappers are designed
to cap containers that are on a conveyor. (For more information on
spindle cappers see Cappers / Spindle Cappers.)
Semi-Automatic Chuck Cappers
are designed with a single chuck. Semi-automatic chuck cappers require
an operator to place the cap on the container and to place the
container below the chuck. The chuck on the semi-automatic capper is
then lowered by the operator to make contact with the cap and tighten
the cap on the container. Once the proper amount of torque is applied
to the cap, the chuck on the semi-automatic capper releases the cap.
Chucks are designed to “sense” the amount of torque that is applied to
the cap. The sensing of torque is often done pneumatically or
mechanically, and the chucks can be adjusted to apply different
amounts of torque. Chucks are specifically designed for the size cap
that they are applying. For different size caps, different size chucks
need to be installed on the semi-automatic capper.
