Cap Elevator Sorter

Listing description

Caps are transferred from a holding bin, or “hopper” onto a revolving belt, moving upward at a 90 degree incline. The caps rest on the belts’ flights that are equially spaced. These flights on the belt are designed to keep caps that are oriented in the desired position, while the caps that are not oriented correctly are knocked off of the flights via gravity back into the hopper. Once the correctly oriented caps reach the top of the sorter, they are blown by air into the cap chute, and eventually down to the capper. A Waterfall sorter is the best-fit for symmetrical, flat, round caps. Flights are spaced 1 3/4" apart. Part of a high speed bottling line. Last used in a pharmaceutical facility.
