Cap Elevator, Quick Change Cap Flight System

PackWest designs, manufactures, and supports inline capping systems for both screw-on and snap-on closures, accommodating a wide range of container sizes, shapes, and types as well as a wide range of cap types and styles. The two cap sorting technologies make it possible for our application engineers to select and configure the sorting system best suited to each customer's specific applications, requirements, line layout, and site constraints.

PackWest waterfall cap sorting systems, also referred to as cap elevator sorter feeders, consistently deliver proven, dependable, and budget-friendly performance. They are easy to operate and maintain, and they are designed to provide years of hassle-free operation. Our inline capping systems are configured to ensure accurate, gentle, consistent, and reliable cap application torque. The intuitive HMI makes machine operation and troubleshooting easy for operators, with operating parameters stored as recipes for every cap and container, simplifying start-ups and changeovers.

Cap and container changeovers are simple and frequently require no tools to complete. When needed, a single tool suffices. Easily adjustable, toolless cap escapements facilitate fast cap diameter changeovers and reduce the cost of change parts. Sorter/elevator belt cleats can be quickly removed and replaced for different cap sizes.

PackWest inline capping systems and retorquers accommodate a wide range of container sizes and shapes as well as various cap types and styles. Ideal for space-constrained line layouts and high-speed applications, our systems apply closures to cylindrical, square, rectangular, and oval containers at speeds up to 300 containers per minute.
