Home / Products / Tabletop Westcappers and Hand Crimpers / FWA Westcapper

The Genesis Machinery Products Model FW-A Westcapper applies serum seals to bottles with a G.C.M.I 2710 finish and several special seals of similar type. The FW-A accommodates bottles up to 4.25" diameter and 8" high. The improved sealing head is interchangeable for caps from 11mm to 43mm in diameter.

The FW-A has a cast aluminum base with a rubber pad on which the bottle, with cap is placed. An adjustable V-guide centers the bottle under the sealing head. The capper is operated by a handle to seal bottles in the following sequence.:

  • The sealing head lowers until the pressure block seats on top of the seal.
  • Sealing jaws close around the cap skirt.
  • Top pressure is applied to the cap.
  • Sealing jaws move up to crimp the seal.

Adjustments can be made for:

  • Container diameter (V-guide).
  • Container height (sealing head setting).
  • Operating angle of the handle, according to operator preference.
  • Handle stop to prevent over-crimping or crushing of the seal.
