HOW IT WORKS
Used Inline Screw Cappers apply caps to bottles utilizing two, three or four pairs of torqueing discs (or wheels) that counter rotate and torque the cap on the bottle or container. When used with a Spindle or Wheel Type Capper, the caps are fed single file down a chute to a chute end or escapement where caps are stripped one at a time by the neck finish of the traveling bottle. Caps are oriented to travel down the cap chute using several methods including vertical sorters, centrifugal sorters, vibratory bowl sorters, or elevator sorters depending on the cap and speed requirements. Used Inline Screw Cappers stabilize bottles and containers to be driven through the capping machine using a belt system that also keeps containers from rotating while the cap is being torqued.
COMMERCIAL APPLICATION
Used Inline Screw Cappers are popular for their versatility, lack of expensive change parts, and the ease of change over. These Used Inline Screw Cappers however, tend to have less consistent torques than their single chuck and rotary chuck counterparts. Inline screw or spindle cappers are probably the most common machines found in low to mid speed food, beverage, dairy, chemical and pharmaceutical industries

Why it is Used with Cappers
Bulk Cap Elevator
Bulk Cap Elevators are used to automatically maintain the amount of caps in a cap sorter allowing for optimal sorter operation while eliminating the need for operators to load caps and maintain reasonable quantities of caps.
Usually, the operation of the elevator is integrated to the capper using a variety of cap level sensors.
Cap Blower
Cap Blowers use filtered air to blow caps to a cap sorter utilizing tubing that guides the caps to the cap sorter.
Cap Blowers can be advantageous because they can feed caps at a high rate, and can be placed further away from the sorter itself.
