Capping solution
Fowler Products, powered by Pro Mach, has introduced its highest speed inspection/rejection system for capping applications; the system can cap and inspect more than 900 bottles per minute.
Bottles failing inspection are shunted off to a reject lane before they leave the capping machine. This assures that the bottle identified to be rejected is absolutely the bottle that is rejected. Furthermore, the rejected bottles are diverted gently so that the bottle remains upright and does not spill its contents, contaminating the packaging line.
The failsafe Fowler system rejects bottles for improper torque, missing cap, high cap and/or cocked cap. The system also rejects bottles if the under-cap liners are missing. Every bottle must pass these quality checks before it is allowed to leave the machine.
