SMC - 2x SMC Pneumatic Cappers

• Sealing bottles and containers in small-scale production or laboratory environments.
• Applying screw caps, ROPP (roll-on pilfer-proof) caps, or similar closures to various products.
• Suitable for industries such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and chemicals.
• Used for products like sauces, spirits, essential oils, and cleaning solutions.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, manual or semi-automatic operation typically allows for 10-30 containers per minute, depending on operator efficiency and cap type.

Power supply

Pneumatic machines commonly require a compressed air supply, typically 6-8 bar, with minimal electrical power for controls, often single-phase 230V.

Footprint

Table-top units are compact, typically occupying a bench space of approximately 400mm x 400mm to 600mm x 600mm.

Cap diameter range

Units of this type commonly accommodate a range of cap diameters, often from 15mm to 50mm, with change parts required for specific sizes.

Container height

Typically adjustable to handle container heights from 50mm to 300mm.

Construction materials

Commonly constructed from stainless steel and anodised aluminium for hygiene and durability.
