Why Choose Clutch Style Capping Heads

Clutch capping heads provide consistent and reliable capping without the fear of breakage, as with inline capping systems. It also allows a consistent and appropriate torque to be applied, ensuring a secure seal. With an inline capping system, there is no control of torque, which can cause inconsistencies in capping quality and potential breakage. ZimaPack builds Capping Machines with Pick & Place Devices, Dedicated/Flexible Capping Chutes and Torque Adjustable Capping Heads.

ZimaPack offers Clutch-Style Capping Heads. Why do we choose Clutch-Style Capping Heads? The answer is simple – because they provide a more accurate and reliable seal than other capping heads.

Our line of sorters for your capping needs

Sorters for cappers come in various designs, but they all essentially serve the same purpose: to make sure that the cap is being fed down the capping chute and to the pick & place device securely and in the correct orientation. This way the capping heads can do their job to apply the caps effectively onto the bottle/container. These are the kinds of sorters ZimaPack offers:

  • Mechanical Sorter
  • Centrifugal Sorter
  • Waterfall Sorter
  • Vibratory Sorter

Automatic Capping Machine

Clutch Style Capping Heads vs. Inline Belts/Wheel

  • Clutch Style Capping Heads offer higher operating speeds than Inline Belts/Wheels. This provides users with a more efficient operation, increasing production rates while reducing costs associated with labor and materials.
  • Clutch-style Capping Heads and Inline Belts/Wheels vary in the size of caps they can accommodate. Clutch-style capping heads typically provide a larger range of cap sizes than inline belts/wheels, allowing for diverse packaging options.
  • Clutch-style Capping Heads work well with various shaped caps. Inline Belts/Wheels typically struggle with any shaped caps besides simple flat screw on caps.
  • Clutch Style Capping Heads are known for their precision and reliability as they can accurately adjust the torque output to maintain a tight seal without over-tightening or damaging the package. This also helps reduce product waste due to loss or damage from improper sealing. In contrast, Inline Belts/Wheels are not able to control torque levels at different speeds properly and can potentially lead to loose seals if not monitored closely.

If you are looking for a reliable and accurate way to seal your containers, then Clutch-Style Capping Heads are the ideal solution.

What to Expect From Our Efficient Machines

Easy, Quick, Tool-less Change Parts

Changing components on our machines has never been this quick and straightforward, even without the need for tools. It is excellent for our customers that require more than one bottle or cap size. A snap-in change component allows for rapid, tool-free part insertion and removal. To make things quicker and more convenient for you, we offer options for dedicated cap chutes eliminating some change parts and allowing for faster changeovers.

Jam Detection System

In the event of a jam, we ensure that our jam-detecting system prevents the machine from continuing to rotate and causing any further damage. An alarm alerts the user to a jam via the machine’s screen with an illustration showing its origin or location.

Reject System

We can reject for incorrect weights, missing or crooked caps, missing foils, and quality control. The HMI screen (Human Machine Interface) can alarm and display the reject (these can also be shown in reports). A reject conveyor can be added so that the bottle can be safely guided onto a separate conveyor where an operator can collect and verify why it was rejected. The HMI will show why and a solution will be suggested to prevent further rejects.

Door Safety

When a machine door opens, the function immediately stops the machine from rotating. As soon as the machine comes to a halt, the screen will update to show which door is open. If the Filler is in the middle of filling a bottle it will continue to fill to the correct weight. Once the door is closed and the reset button is pushed the machine will continue to rotate.

User Access Levels

As a company, we place a high level of importance on the safety and security of our clients when they use our machines. Using your machine’s user access level feature, you can assign an Administrator, Operator, Manager, Technician, etc. Each assigned user will receive a user ID and password. Certain users can have access to all pages vs others can choose recipes/go into production but can’t make changes. This prevents operator errors, gives clear reports and helps with training!

The HMI screen and sync with a smartphone/tablet. Operators with access can use this feature to do anything the HMI screen does. Customizable reports are available on the HMI screen and can be downloaded or shared through an SD card and FTP server.

Custom Manual & How-to Videos

To ensure that our clients receive the best service and assistance, we create manuals and how to videos for each project or machine as a guide when operating.

Backed with Great Customer Service

We always listen to our clients and guarantee a same-day response. Rest assured that our team will resolve any issue as soon as possible. Remote troubleshooting is built into our software and allows us to access the machines quickly through a virtual private network (VPN) and sync with a smartphone /tablet for easy training/troubleshooting.
