Continuous-cycle cappers operate with
uninterrupted motion. These machines often compliment a series of
other automatic equipment such as
filling machines
and accumulators. Power to the machine is controlled by a toggle
switch and when turned on, the shaft begins to oscillate up and down
causing the shell and insert to move in a helical motion. After
setting the cap on the container, an operator waits until the up
stroke to place the container under the shaft. After a few
completions, the operator develops a natural feel for the machine’s
rhythm and quickly increases productivity. The variable speed models
allow operators to control the cycle timing which helps increase
productivity and eliminate missed strokes.
