Bottle Capping Machine

PPSI offers three types of capping equipment namely: ROPP Capping Machine, Cap Tightening Machine and Cap Plugging Machine.

The ROPP Capping Machine
is used for bottles with Roll On Pilfer-Proof (ROPP) caps. These caps are made of aluminum and are unthreaded.		 The Cap Tightening Machine
is suitable for screwing pre-threaded caps.		 The Cap Plugging Machine
is used to press down bottle caps or other accessories such as nozzles and anti-drip spouts onto the bottle.

ROPP Capping Machine

The ROPP cap is usually the closure of choice used in the pharmaceutical industry as it seals liquid products very well and provides tamper-evident security. The sealing process is performed by a rotating capping head that lowers down on the bottle mouth, pressing the threading and crimping discs on the side of the blank aluminum cap to conform to the existing thread of the bottle.              

Features:

  • Automatic cap feeding system using a cap hopper (vibrating bowl with adjustable vibration frequency) to accommodate regularly-shaped caps
  • Intermittent capping operation
  • Cam-controlled timing and operation sequencing for consistent and reliable performance
  • Main drive protected by a safety clutch mechanism
  • Capping speed can be adjusted through electronic control
  • No bottle, no capping operation
  • Machine body cover and conveyor made of stainless steel 304
  • Sanitary conveyor design for easy cleaning and maintenance

Output rate:

  • up to 70 bottles per minute (bpm) for single head and 120 bpm for double head

Container:

  • ideal for 10ml – 500ml regularly-shaped glass bottles

Cap Tightening Machine

The fully automatic Cap Tightening Machine sets pre-threaded caps onto the bottle opening and then screws it to a pre-set level of torque. This is achieved with an adjustable torque tightening head. Accuracy on the level of torque applied is ensured through the use of Magnetic Clutch System.

Features:

  • Equipped with adjustable torque magnetic tightening head
  • Automatic cap feeding system using a cap hopper (vibrating bowl with adjustable vibration frequency) to accommodate regularly-shaped caps
  • Intermittent capping operation
  • Cam-controlled timing and operation sequencing for consistent and reliable performance
  • Main drive protected by a safety clutch mechanism
  • Capping speed can be adjusted through electronic control
  • No bottle, no capping operation
  • Machine body cover and conveyor made of stainless steel 304
  • Sanitary conveyor design for easy cleaning and maintenance

Output rate:

  • up to 70 bottles per minute (bpm) for single head and 120 bpm for double head

Container:

  • ideal for 10ml – 500ml regularly-shaped glass and sturdy plastic bottles

Cap Plugging Machine

The Cap Plugging Machine is used to press down or “plug” the bottle cap, or any other bottle accessory such as nozzles and anti-drip spouts onto the bottle opening. It is primarily composed of a pneumatic cylinder and plugging head which sequentially plugs the accessory onto the bottle.

Features:

  • Automatic cap feeding system using a cap hopper (vibrating bowl with adjustable vibration frequency) to accommodate regularly-shaped caps
  • Intermittent capping operation
  • Cam-controlled timing and operation sequencing for consistent and reliable performance
  • Main drive protected by a safety clutch mechanism
  • Capping speed can be adjusted by means of electronic control
  • No bottle, no capping operation
  • Machine body cover and conveyor made of stainless steel 304
  • Sanitary conveyor design for easy cleaning and maintenance

Output rate:

  • up to 60 bottles per minute
