2 Station Cap Retorquer Spindle Tightener

2-Station Cap Retorquers utilize spindle wheels to properly and repeatedly tighten caps onto containers, reducing operator fatigue, and providing consistent application torque to the caps. The spindle capping system’s modular design adjusts for a wide variety of cap and bottle configurations without the need for change parts.  These units are often used to re-tighten caps after an induction sealer has applied a foil seal.

Our versatile capping system features toolless adjustment, operating controls housed in a  NEMA4 rated painted mild steel electrical enclosure, mounted to a durable stainless steel and anodized aluminum framework.

Caps may be manually placed by an operator directly onto the container.  Motorized gripper belts control and guide the container securely through the cap tightener while opposing sets of polyurethane discs spin the caps into place.  A mechanically adjustable friction clutch ensures consistent, accurate application torque.
