This video shows how the Kinex Cappers® SA™ Capping Machine with dual push button base to tighten screw-on caps onto bottles. To cap a bottle, the operator places a cap loosely onto the bottle and then places the bottle onto the base of the machine, so it is resting against the backstop. The bottle is now well centered and ready to be capped.
The operator will then press the dual push buttons. When the dual push buttons are pressed, the grippers on the base of the machine move in to grip the bottle to prevent it from spinning during the capping process while the capping motor descends onto the cap, tightens the cap in less than a second, and then automatically shuts off.
When the capping motor shuts off, it signals the operator to release the dual push buttons. When the operator releases the dual push buttons, the grippers and capping motor retract to their starting positions and the perfectly capped bottle can be removed from the base of the machine.
