Caps the best, caps the rest!

ALU is a rotary capping machine reaching medium-high speeds and is particularly suited to sealing aseptic products. Its design criteria, such as limited dimensions, ergonomics, reduced particle generation and the geometry facilitating unidirectional laminar flow all allow the machine to be installed in classified areas, in conventional sterile rooms or under isolation technology.

Depending on customer requirements, the machine is available in two different models and features a broad range of application capabilities: from traditional aluminium caps, with or without flip-off, to the most sophisticated caps such as add-vantage, bio-set and monovial closures.

ALU Highlights

1.
Very low particle generation system to avoid product contamination.
2.
Pneumatic circuit to keep constant applied vertical force.
3.
100% measurement and control of vertical compression force.
4.
Various types of controls available to check crimp quality and flip-off cap colour.
5.
Coding unit and camera vision system for data reading and check.
6.
Low size changeover and set-up time.
7.
Little maintenance required.
8.
Equipped with Siemens PLC and with a user-friendly control panel.
Crimping is performed by rotating the vial against an idle roller. The advantage of this system over traditional methods is to guarantee maximum sealing precision and minimise particle generation on the vial mouth.
