FAQ

1. How to Confirm If the Machine Material is SS304 or SS316?

304 stainless steel is a multipurpose stainless steel that has a higher rust resistance than stainless steels in the 200 series. It is also better to have a high temperature resistance. The corrosion resistance of 304 stainless steel is outstanding, as is the resistance to intergranular corrosion. While 316 stainless steel the corrosion resistance and high temperature strength of 316 stainless steel have greatly improved. It has a high temperature resistance of 1200-1300 degrees and can be used in harsh environments.

2. Is The Machine Customized?

Yes, it can be customized according to the customer’s requirements. It is designed for use in an automated packing line and can add other processing equipment.

There are options:

Packing line 1

The automatic capping machine can be integrated with filling and labeling machinery to create a packing line. Some examples are: bottle unscrambler + auger filler + automatic capping machine + foil sealing machine.

Packing line 2

The automatic capping machine can be connected with filling and labeling equipment to produce a packing line. Just a few examples include a bottle unscrambler + auger filler + automatic capping machine + foil sealing machine + labeling machine.

3. What Bottle/Jar Shape can the Machine Handle?

The automatic capping machine can be applied to bottles with screw caps of different sizes, shapes, and materials.

Bottle size

It is suitable for bottles of 20-120mm in diameter and 60-180mm in height. Outside of this range, it can be adjusted to fit any bottle size.

Bottle shape

The automatic capping machine can cap bottles of all shapes and sizes, including round, square, and sophisticated designs.

Bottle and cap material

The automatic capping machine can handle different types of glasses, plastics, or metals. 

Screw cap type

Any kind of screw cap, such as a pump, spray, or drop cap, can be screwed on using the automatic capping machine.

6.What is the Use of the Machine?

The automatic capping machine is used to screw caps on bottles automatically. This is designed for use in an automated packing line. This machine is a continuous capping machine, not an intermittent capping machine. This machine is more efficient than intermittent capping because it securely presses the lids and causes less damage to the lids. It’s now widely used in the food, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries.

7.What is the Function of Each Part of Automatic Capping Machine?

Intelligent

-The blower blows caps into the cap track after the conveyor has brought caps to the top.

-The cap feeder’s automatic running and stopping is controlled by a cap lack detecting device. Two sensors are located on opposite sides of the cap track, one to determine if the track is full of caps and the other to determine if the track is empty.

-Inverted lids are easily detected by the error lids sensor. Error caps remover and bottle sensor work together to achieve a satisfactory capping effect.

-By changing the moving speed of bottles at its position, the bottle separator will separate them from one another. In most cases, one separator is required for round bottles, and two separators are required for square bottles.

Efficient

-The bottle conveyor and cap feeder have a maximum speed of 100 bpm, allowing the machine to run at a high speed to accommodate varied packaging lines.

-Three pairs of wheel twist caps off rapidly; the first pair can be reversed to swiftly place caps in the correct position.

Convenient

-Adjust the height of the entire capping system with just one button.

-Adjust the width of the bottle capping track with the wheels.

-Cap feeder, bottle conveyor, capping wheels, and bottle separator can all be switched to open, close, or change speed.

-Flip the switch to change the speed of each set of capping wheels.

Easy to operate

-The use of a PLC and a touch screen control system with a simple operating program makes work easier and more efficient.

-The emergency stop button allows the machine to be stopped immediately in an emergency, keeping the operator safe.

8. Is an Engineer Available to Serve Overseas?
