Capper machines installed at healthcare plant
Friday, 09 December, 2011
Kompass Milan has successfully installed three of its PF 6-head capper machines for plastic pre-threaded and plastic pressure caps at the Sydney plant of Sanofi Aventis, a specialist in pharmaceuticals, consumer healthcare products and vaccines.
The Kompass PF pre-threaded capping machines are suitable for treating all types of screw caps. The pick-and-place distribution systems on the machines have positive grippers which make them suitable for even the most difficult closures. The machines installed at Sanofi Aventis have a line speed of 7200 bph and were integrated onto their existing production lines.
The pre-threaded capping machines are equipped with adjustable heads with magnetic clutches that allow the customers to vary the torque during tightening and are a popular choice of machine in the beverage and pharmaceutical industries.
Kompass has capping machines in both free-standing and turret versions which are suitable for a range of closures such as pressure, plastic screw, aluminium and crown caps. The range is divided into single-head and multihead versions and uses brushless motors which permit total control via touch screen and are suitable for use within sterile environments as they contain laminar flows, UV lamps and H²O² sanitising systems.
