AC-1 Semi-Automatic Capping Machine
The Asset Semi-automatic or ‘bench model’ AC-1 Cap Tightener has been the industry standard in semi-automatic cap tightening for over 15 years. Equally at home in small start-up packaging operations or in production units of major corporations, the AC-1 Semi -auto’s versatility and precise operation have made it a favourite in a wide range of demanding application. And if your production requirements increase, the Semi-auto can be converted to a fully automatic conveyor-mounted model.
From 10mm eye-dropper or cosmetic caps to 100mm closures for wide -mouth food jars, the AC-1’s simple controls enable fast set-ups and typical throughputs of 15-30 units per minute.
A single handwheel and lockring allow quick height adjustment for different containers. The universal container guide, adjustable for container size and shape, has an integral activating switch plate - another Asset exclusive feature. Simply place a container against the guide and the tightening chuck automatically descends, tightens, and retracts.
Increase or decrease the tightening dwell time to suit the particular application by a turn of the pneumatic timer know. Simply adjust to give adequate time the cap to wind down the thread and stop. Adjust the tightening torque by a turn of the air pressure regulator know.
Our range of 5 standard interchangeable tightening chuck sizes and 3 standard liner materials will handle most capping applications. Chucks are also available for specialised closures as such as Tamper-tel, eye-dropper, etc. For trigger-pump sprays, cream dispenser and mist pumps, and other closures which cannot be tightened from above, the Asset pump-tite Unit is available as a ‘bolt-on’ optional item.
The AC-1 Semi-auto is pneumatically operated, so it’s safe with flammable products. The unit is supplied ready to run, requiring only a supply of compressed air.
