The PW-200 Westcapper is a compact tabletop unit designed for laboratory or small manufacturing applications. Vials with caps are loaded onto the intake conveyor. The starwheel indexes the vial to the sealing area. The adjustable spring loaded bottle rest and a fixed pressure block compress the stopper. While under pressure, the skirt of the cap is reformed under the locking finish of the vial by the three spinning rollers. The starwheel now indexes the vial onto the discharge conveyor. Vial flow is from left to right. The capper runs at constant speed of 45 vials per minute. The OSHA compliant safety enclosure is wired to alarm and shut down the capper whenever it is opened during operation.
The PW-200 uses a stainless steel conveyor belt. Standard conveyor lengths are 18 inches on the infeed and 18 inches on the discharge. Stainless steel guide rails on the intake and discharge side of the capper are adjustable. Depending on vial diameter, a 12 point Delran starwheel and intake and discharge guides are required for each vial size.
