Cap Feeding Gate System
For automated capping lines that do not include a cap feeder, operators are required to manually place caps onto containers that are in motion along a conveyor. The task of manually placing caps onto containers traveling along a conveyor is quite difficult.
The cap feeding gate system simplifies the manual cap placement process on an automated capping line. This user-friendly gate system stops the flow of bottles just before they enter the capping area, making it much easier and faster for the operator to place caps onto the containers.
Pucks
Small or narrow bottles, such as tubes and vials, do not travel well on conveyors due to their limited stability. Pucks provide the stability required for these applications to be conveyed securely through the filling, cap placement, and capping stations on a conveyor.
Kinex Cappers pucks are custom bored to match the diameter of the tube or small bottle they are to be used with. They include a clamping feature that will prevent the bottle from rotating during the cap placement and cap tightening operations.
Constructed of 60 durometer shore D urethane, Kinex Cappers pucks are rectangular in shape with chamfered edges that enable them to travel smoothly through the turns and curves of your conveyor system.
Oil Free Pneumatic Motors for Clean Environments
Fit your Versa-Max® Inline Capping Machine with an optional Oil Free Pneumatic Motor. Just as the name suggests, our Oil-Free Pneumatic Motors do not require lubrication. Standard pneumatic motors cannot be used in many clean environments because they expel a tiny amount of lubrication in the exhaust. Although the amount of oil they expel is so minimal that it is completely imperceptible, it is still not suitable for a clean room environment. Since our oil free motors require no lubrication, the exhaust air exiting the machine is as clean as the compressed air going into it.
The oil free pneumatic motor is an optional upgrade to the standard motor offered with the Versa-Max® Spindle Capper. The cost of the upgrade is $225. You can purchase this upgrade when you place your order.
