A next-generation monoblock filler/capper design features servo-driven cap placement and torque systems. Able to operate at speeds up to 120 bottles per minute, the unique design allows caps to be handled with precision to reduce the risk of dropped or skewed caps. A two-stage torque system first uses a unique “donut” clamp to place the cap with complete accuracy and applies the first level of torque to secure the cap. The container indexes to the second stage where the final torque is applied to the exact specification. The use of servos enables the system to apply a precise amount of torque to the cap. This allows packagers and laboratories to achieve the required seal without making it difficult for the consumer to remove the cap, an important safety feature.
