PW Series

The Genesis Machinery Products PW series cappers use three spinning rollers to seal vials tight. Two of the rollers provide the initial crimp of the seal while the third acts as a “finisher” to tuck the metal neatly under the vial flange.

Bottom spring pressure controls the stopper pre-compression and is fully adjustable for wide ranges of stopper sizes and durometers.

With the addition of Capper Optimization and the Validation Support Data Package, Genesis makes a commitment to provide technical expertise and customer support before, during and after the sale.

NPW-575 Westcapper

The NPW-575 Westcapper is a fully automated capper using 3 spinning rollers as the sealing mechanism. The hoppering system uses a gravity fed vibratory bowl. As the starwheel indexes, the stoppered vials pass under the cap feed, pick a cap and vials progress to the sealing area. The adjustable spring loaded vial rest and a fixed pressure block compress the stopper while the skirt of the cap is reformed under the locking finish of the vial. The three spinning rollers roll the skirt into place. The starwheel now indexes the vial onto the discharge conveyor. Vial flow is from left to right. Rolling casters are standard, with stationary legs available as an option. Depending on vial size, the capper has a maximum variable speed of 120 vials per minute. The OSHA compliant safety enclosure is wired to alarm and shut down the capper whenever it is opened during operation.

Conveyor Options

All dimensions are from centerline of machine. Any combination of infeed and discharge above is available.

Lengths between 49 inches and 73 inches in each direction are available in 12-inch increments as an option. Conveyors of 49 inches or longer in either direction may require additional support.

NPW-500 Westcapper

The NPW-500 Westcapper is a fully automated capper using 3 spinning rollers as the sealing mechanism. The outer panels of the NPW-500 are made up of stainless steel. The hoppering system uses a turning disk to select caps and transfer them to the chute and the cap feed. As the starwheel indexes, the stoppered vials pass under the cap feed, pick a cap and vials progress to the sealing area. The adjustable spring loaded vial rest and a fixed pressure block compress the stopper while the skirt of the cap is reformed under the locking finish of the vial. The three spinning rollers roll the skirt into place. The starwheel now indexes the vial onto the discharge conveyor. Vial flow is from left to right. Rolling casters are standard, with stationary legs available as an option. Depending on vial size, the capper has a maximum variable speed of 120 vials per minute. The OSHA compliant safety enclosure is wired to alarm and shut down the capper whenever it is opened during operation.
