HOW IT WORKS
Used Inline Overcappers applly overcaps to bottles in continuous motion while on a single conveyor. The Over 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, then a down pressure system snaps the overcap in place. Overcaps 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 Overcap and speed requirements.
Bottles or containers are stabilized and driven through the capping machine using a belt system. Containers feeding into a Single Head Inline Overcapper reach an indexing/anti-rotational system which places the container under the single overcapping chuck. There are several variations of indexing systems employed by Used Inline Overcappers.
COMMERCIAL APPLICATION
Used Inline Overcappers are a cost-effective solution for applying Overcaps onto containers in continuous motion. They eliminate the need for expensive rotary bottle handling change parts as well. However, the vertical downstroke of a rotary chuck overcapper provides advantages in performing this operation. Speeds are also limited utilizing an inline configuration. Used Inline Overcappers are used in the 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.
