Cap Elevator
Zalkin cap elevators supply a metered and controlled quantity of caps to rotary cap orienters at speeds up to 2,000 cpm (120,000 cph).
They are designed to perform two primary functions:
1. Supply a metered quantity of closures from the bins or hoppers where they have been loaded, and
2. Deliver these closures to the cap orientation system at the required elevation.
Zalkin cap elevators are available for a wide range of cap types and sizes including:
Screw-on closures for plastic screw caps
Roll-on closures for aluminum caps > Push-in closures, for T-corks, stoppers, and plugs
Snap-on closures for snap-caps and lids
Screw-on + roll-on for TOPP (Torque On Pilfer Proof) wine bottle closures
Insert + close for pumps and triggers
They are compatible with the full range of Zalkin capping system technologies including rotary monobloc, rotary freestanding and single-head cappers. They employ cleated belts to gently feed caps into capping systems and, if required, transport them to the elevation required by the cap orienter. The cap bin size and elevation angle can be optimized for each application and line layout.
