Auto-Max ST Stainless Steel Capping Head™
The ST™ stainless steel capping head is constructed of 316 stainless steel. 316 Stainless steel is the material of choice for use in laboratory, pharmaceutical, sanitary and sterile packaging environments because it is easy to clean, resistant to corrosion, and it is chemically resistant to the cleaning agents commonly used in these environments.
The 316 stainless steel capping head is also an excellent choice for capping bottles in harsh environments and for bottlers that package brine, acids, caustic and corrosive substances.
In addition to their 316 stainless steel construction, ST™ capping heads include other features that make them ideal for use in clean room, sterile and other controlled environments. The internal components of an ST™ capping head are lubricated with NSF-H1 Food Grade Certified lubricants. The Kinex Exhaust Capture System™ is integrated into the design of every ST™ capping head. The Exhaust Capture System™ captures the exhaust air expelled by the capping motor and channels it directly into an air hose. The exhaust air then travels through the air hose to where it can be expelled in a location that will not adversely affect the clean environment.
An oil-free version of the ST™ capping head is also available. If you are capping in a clean room, sterile environment, or other type of controlled environment, you should consider equipping your Auto-Mate™ with an optional ST™ oil free capping head. Since our oil free motors require no oil, the exhaust air exiting the machine is as clean as the compressed air going into it.
