The Genesis Machinery Products Model LW Westcapper combines proven K-Head sealing with electric power to provide a mechanized capper for intermediate packaging requirements.

The LW is ideal for laboratory, pilot-plant, and manufacturing pharmacy operations. Intended for runs of a few hundred units the LW is a versatile capper that features rapid setup and changeover, and can be operated with little operator fatigue. Maintenance requirements are minimal and do not require a trained mechanic.

Description

The LW is an electronically powered sealing head equipped with safe, hand actuated switches to initiate the sealing sequence. An aluminum seal is placed on the filled bottle, which is then located in a positioning V-Block. When the sealing sequence is actuated, the K-head descends into the sealing position over the bottle.

Three adjustments are available to obtain the desired sealing effectiveness:

• Table height (relative to K-Head location).
• Top pressure (the pressure applied to the top of the bottle and cap during sealing operation).
• Sealing pressure (the pressure exerted on the side of the seal).

 
All three adjustable elements are provided with position indicators so final adjustment settings can be recorded for future setup reference.
