The new Kinex Cappers® QuickFeed Cap Feeder offers exceptional versatility and productivity. It is able to feed caps ranging from 18mm to 75mm in diameter at a rate of up to 60 caps per minute.
The QuickFeed™ performs all of the cap sorting, cap orienting, cap feeding and cap-placing functions. The cap sorting barrel of the QuickFeed™ sorts, orients, and delivers caps to the cap chute. The integrated pick-and-place system picks the caps from the bottom of the chute and places them onto the waiting containers.
The QuickFeed™ was engineered to optimize the accuracy and reliability of the cap feeding process. It incorporates intelligent programming that automatically pauses operations when a cap or bottle is not present. The pick and place system can be programmed to rotate the cap by any degree, from 0° to 480°, securely starting the cap on the threads of the container in preparation for capping. This feature helps to eliminate cocked caps and loosely placed caps that may fall off the bottle before they can be tightened.
Adding the QuickFeed™ to a bottling line completely automates the cap sorting, feeding, and placing operations. By removing the need for manual intervention in these tasks, productivity increases, and substantial cost savings are realized.
