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

Accurate: The Rotary Cap Placement System is a continuous motion, rotary device which precisely places screw caps onto threaded containers and engages the threads before releasing the cap and container from the applicator. Caps are perfectly aligned every time. No cocked or skewed caps!

Economical: The Rotary Cap Placement System can be mounted directly next to the cap tightener. The NERCA 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 NERCA with the Model NEPMT Retorquer/Cap Tightener. (For information on the NEPMT, please see separate flyer.)
The cap applicator and retorquer/cap tightener combine the functions of cap sorting, cap feeding and alignment, and cap tightening in one system. The NERCA cap applicator with the Model NEPMT retorquer/cap tightener is positioned over a supplied 10' 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 placed on the containers they exit the NERCA cap applicator and are captured by dual running belts in the NEPMT 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.
