- Typical capacity
- For this class of automatic capper, throughput commonly ranges from 60 to 120 containers per minute, depending on cap type and container size.
- Power supply
- Units of this type typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with a power consumption of 2-5 kW.
- Cap types
- Automatic cappers are generally designed to handle screw caps, ROPP caps, and sometimes snap-on caps, with change parts required for different cap styles.
- Container compatibility
- This equipment typically accommodates a wide range of container materials including PET, HDPE, glass, and metal, with varying heights and diameters.
- Footprint
- A machine of this configuration (4-head with feeder) commonly requires a floor space of approximately 2.5m to 4m in length and 1m to 1.5m in width.
- Material construction
- Components in contact with products or operating in hygiene-sensitive environments are typically constructed from stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316 grade).
- Control system
- Modern automatic cappers commonly feature PLC control with a HMI touchscreen for operational adjustments and recipe management.
