Cap Feeder Elevator

Cap Feeder Elevator

Cap Feeder Elevator is type of machine which is available with storage silo generally used in conjunction with mother machine like capping machine. Waterfall type cap feeder elevator can store relatively larger amount of bottle closures like Screw caps, ROPP Caps etc in storage silo over traditional vibrator hopper / orientator hopper used in capping machine.

The fundamental purpose of the Waterfall cap feeder elevator is to orient a bottle closure like Screw cap, ROPP Caps & discharge it to a transfer system which is generally a Shute of the capping machine. Closures are trickled through a hopper onto a horizontal section of belt. The cap in wrong direction will fall down due to the centre of gravity difference and correct oriented closures continue to travel up the elevator to where they are pushed with the help of pneumatics system & stripped sideways off of belt into a discharge area. From here caps are transferred by a chute to where they are applied to a container.
