The Equatorque servo-driven rotary capper accurately controls torque from zero to 35 lb/in (four Nm) and enables on-the-fly torque adjustments to be made without slowing the machine via the local operator interface or remotely via an optional Ethernet connection. The unit self-calibrates each head during every screwing cycle to compensate for torque changes caused by mechanical shifts. The system constantly monitors the performance of each head – when a fault is identified, the system signals operators via an alarm and, if equipped with an optional reject system, automatically removes containers with faulty caps from the production line. The capper can be designed with one to 24 capping heads to achieve line speeds from 10 to 600 containers per minute. Equatorque can be customized to handle non-standard containers and special caps, including flip-top hinge caps that require orientation.
