NERCAE-12 twelve head cap placement system with NEPMTE-1 retorquer
(click on capping area to enlarge)

Economical: The Rotary Cap Placement System can be mounted directly next to the cap tightener. The NERCAE comes with a deluxe 10" x 6' delrin table top conveyor.

Versatile: This Rotary Cap Placement System is ideal if your bottles are heading directly to an induction sealing device.

The Rotary Cap Placement System combines the NEM Model NERCAE with the Model NEPMTE Retorquer. (For information on the NEPMTE, please see separate flyer.)
The cap applicator and cap tightener combine the functions of cap sorting, cap feeding and alignment, and cap tightening in one system. The NERCAE cap applicator with the Model NEPMTE cap tightener is positioned over conveyor. Caps are fed to a bulk supply hopper or sorting bowl and transported on elevator cleats to the discharge chute. The orienting elevator allows correctly oriented caps to reach the discharge chute, while incorrectly oriented caps are rejected back to the hopper. The caps exit the elevator and travel through the discharge chute to the upper starwheel where the caps are transferred to the cap applicator. The containers,
meanwhile, enter the lower starwheel, are aligned directly below the caps and the caps are placed directly onto the containers and rotated until the threads are engaged. After the caps are securely on the containers they exit the NERCAE cap applicator. Next the containers would go through an induction sealer, if applicable. Then they are captured by dual running belts in the NEPMTE where final torque is applied. The speed of these belts is set in precise relation to conveyor speed and tightening roller speed. The running belts have full control of the container through to discharge.
