2x SMC Pneumatic Cappers

Applications & Use Cases

• Sealing bottles and containers in beverage production lines.
• Applying caps to pharmaceutical products, ensuring sterility and tamper-evidence.
• Capping various food products such as sauces, oils, and preserves.
• Securing closures on cosmetic and personal care items like lotions and shampoos.
• Packaging household chemicals and cleaning products.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of pneumatic capper, throughput typically ranges from 20 to 60 units per minute, depending on cap type and operator efficiency.

Power supply

Pneumatic cappers primarily require a compressed air supply, typically 6-8 bar, with electrical power (commonly 230V single-phase) for control systems.

Cap types

Units of this type are commonly adaptable for screw caps, ROPP caps, and pump dispensers, often requiring change parts for different cap sizes.

Container materials

Typically suitable for a range of container materials including PET, HDPE, glass, and metal, provided they have a stable base.

Footprint

Benchtop or semi-automatic pneumatic cappers typically have a compact footprint, often less than 1m x 1m, making them suitable for smaller production areas.

Automation level

These units are commonly semi-automatic, requiring manual placement of the cap or bottle, with the capping action being pneumatically assisted.
