Automatic Pick And Place Screw Capping Machines For Nigerian Industries

Introduction to Automatic Pick & Place Screw Capping Machine

In Nigeria’s thriving industrial hubs such as Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Kano, and Ibadan, manufacturers need efficient, precise, and reliable capping machinery for high-speed production lines. Technogen Enterprise proudly introduces the Automatic Rotary Pick and Place Screw Capping Machine, engineered for ultimate performance, accuracy, and versatility.

Available in 4-head, 6-head, 8-head, and 12-head configurations, this machine is capable of handling plastic, PET, HDPE, LDPE, and glass bottles, including Child Resistant Caps (CRC). With production speeds ranging from 50 to 200 bottles per minute, it is ideal for both liquid and powder filling lines, catering to the demands of pharmaceutical, food, beverage, and cosmetic industries across Nigeria.

How the Pick and Place Screw Capping Machine Works

Unlike traditional shut pick-up screw cappers, our Pick and Place mechanism ensures 100% accurate screw capping using two specialized cams:

• Pick-Up Cam: Precisely picks the screw cap from the cap pick-up star wheel.

• Release Cam: Accurately releases the cap onto the bottle.

This unique design guarantees flawless cap placement for round, square, and irregularly shaped bottles. The modular construction of the machine allows easy customization based on production requirements, making it ideal for Nigerian manufacturing units with varying bottle geometries and cap types.

Cap feeding is adaptable with various options such as vibratory cap feeders, mechanical orientators, linear vibrators, and cap feeder elevators, depending on the cap and bottle specifications.

Salient Features of Automatic Pick and Place Screw Capping Machine

Technogen Enterprise ensures that every machine incorporates advanced technology, safety, and efficiency for Nigerian industries:

• cGMP Compliant & Modular Construction: Built according to Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) standards with a modular design for flexibility and easy customization.

• Premium Stainless Steel 304 Construction: All contact parts are made from high-quality stainless steel 304, ensuring hygiene and durability.

• Stainless Steel Matt Finish: Aesthetic and professional finish suitable for industrial production environments.

• Single Motor Synchronization: One motor synchronizes the conveyor, star wheel assembly, and capping turret for seamless operation.

• Mechanical Safety Clutches: Integrated at the feed worm, in-feed, and out-feed star wheels to halt operation in case of irregularities.

• Photoelectric Sensor for Screw Cap Detection: Prevents machine operation if a screw cap is missing, ensuring uninterrupted workflow.

• No Bottle – No Cap System: Caps are applied only when bottles are present, reducing wastage and maximizing efficiency.

• Dual Cam System for Picking & Releasing Caps: Ensures precise and accurate screw capping for every bottle.

• Jaw Type Magnetic Action Screw Capping Head: Provides perfect grip for capping, with mechanical torque adjustment for consistent performance.

• Versatile Cap Feeding Options: Includes vibratory feeder, mechanical orientator, or cap feeder elevator, tailored for different caps.

• Rapid Product Changeover: Quick adjustments allow fast transition between bottle types and sizes, minimizing downtime.

• 6-Digit Production Counter: Monitors production output, helping optimize operational efficiency.
