SC Capper

Pneumatic Scale Angelus’ SC Capper is ideal for practically any container. Customized turret pockets control non-round containers, while a gripper belt or clamp table can be added to hold round containers. Because the machine holds each container securely until capped, spilling, slipping, scuffing and crushing are eliminated.

Caps are transferred to the capping chuck via a cap disk, and since timing is integrated with the turret, cap pickup is extremely reliable.  Allowing ample time for each cap to seat itself eliminates misaligned caps, even at high speeds.

Eliminating container slippage, along with the use of servo motors, guarantees accurate torque control without wear parts or constant maintenance. The SC capper’s design provides in-process control using the servo’s precise torque control, feedback, and diagnostic capabilities. Capping application torque accuracy is ± 1 inch-lb, or better, across a range of 5 to 30 or 15 to 100 in-lbs.

Real time in-process monitoring allows for 100% verification of the application torque and provides statistical data for production management, and custom torque profile curves are now available.

Machine adjustments are simple, thanks to a user-friendly touchscreen interface that allows control of all capper functions and displays diagnostics.  And with color-coded change parts, operators can complete tool-free changeovers for varying containers and caps in less than 15 minutes.  Motorized turret height adjustment and mechanical position indicators further facilitate this rapid changeover.
