Conveying of Caps and Closures

As a specialist manufacturer of pneumatic conveying systems for the transfer of bottle caps, crowns, closures and mouldings, Vibrair's solutions are both highly regarded and offer excellent value for money.

Our cap conveying systems are utilised by leading brand names including Coca Cola Schweppes, Britvic, Showerings, Portola Packaging, Irish Distillers and other key bottling plants and packaging organisations.

Vibrair pneumatic conveying systems typically convey up to 100 metres, delivering 1000 caps or crowns per minute and systems may be single or multi-line networks. To minimise product damage, caps are carefully metered into a conveying line then pneumatically transferred positively or negatively.

The applications are diverse and span storage to bottling line. These include transferring bottle caps and crowns from bulk 'Octabin' to caping machine, from injection moulders directly into boxes or from cap sealers to cap slitters.

To free up valuable and costly floor space and maximise safety, our systems tend to be routed above ground level.

Maintenance is low, thanks to a single moving part – the air source – and the system is easily cleaned due to a modular design that can be easily broken down into hoppers and conveying lines.
