The Accutek ASC Automatic Spindle Cappers machines are designed to automatically place and tighten a wide variety of screw and lug-type closures onto containers in a sanitary environment. Each tightening spindle is spring-loaded and driven by a torque-sensitive individual motor for increased disk-to-cap contact and reduced disk wear.

This unique design eliminates the need for transmissions, belts, pulleys, and universal shafts. This reduces the size of the machine, lowers maintenance time, and expands the capper’s capability and adjustability. The ASC series can accommodate standard closure sizes ranging from 1 to 12 cm with no additional components.

ASCs ship standard with a centrifugal bowl closure orientation system for line speeds up to 120 CPM. The system can be upgraded with an optional closure elevator/orientator, increasing line speed and efficiency.

Single gripper belts are standard and have a tapered container adjustment to accommodate sloped containers up to 8.5” (21.59 cm) wide. Various optional gripper belt configurations are available for higher production rates, torque requirements, or difficult-to-handle containers.
