The Kinex Cap-Rite™ Manual Capper is intended for manufacturers with relatively low production runs that require a high level of certified torque accuracy. It is ideal for shippers of hazardous materials that need to comply with DOT regulations, as well as medical, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies that need to comply with strict torque specifications.
The Cap-Rite™ is also a good choice for manufacturers that want to continue to manually tighten their caps but want to avoid product leakage and other quality problems that can result from inconsistent hand tightening.
The application torque of a Cap-Rite™ Manual Capper is factory set and locked to your specification. Available torque settings are from 5 - 50 inch.lbs. The torque setting can be selected in 1 inch.lbs. increments.
The Cap-Rite™ Manual Capper provides outstanding torque accuracy of +/- 4% which ensures that you will be applying the correct amount of torque to your cap every time. A certificate of calibration is included with your purchase.
The Cap-Rite™ Manual Capper includes 2 components:
- Ergonomic Grip with Integrated Clutch - Designed to fit comfortably in the palm of your hand.
- Custom Machined Chuck - This chuck is machined to custom fit the features of your cap. The chuck will fit your cap in a similar way to how a socket fits a nut.
A custom machined chuck is required to properly tighten a cap with a Cap-Rite™ Manual Capper. While standard chucks with urethane chuck inserts (liners) are standard equipment with our powered capping machines, they cannot provide enough gripping power to generate the torque necessary to properly seat a cap being applied manually.
How it Works
- Place the Cap-Rite™ Manual Capper with attached custom machined chuck onto the cap to be tightened.
- Turn the Tightening Grip by hand.
- Upon reaching the specified torque the clutch will release and reset, which signals the operator to proceed to the next cap.
