Mayr Power Transmission has developed a new, wear-resistant and almost maintenance-free generation of capping heads for minimum downtimes and maximum plant availability.
A simple visual inspection once a year is sufficient, and no manufacturer service personnel are required for the inspection, in contrast to other commercially available capping heads.
On-site employees can carry out the inspection themselves, and the top part of the capping head can be easily and quickly dismantled without tools, maintaining plant availability and productivity.
ROBA-capping head hysteresis technology provides contactless and therefore wear-free torque transmissions. It is also impact-free and low-vibration - ideal for plastic screw caps with preformed threads.
They are better suited for the task than permanent magnet couplings with intermittent torque in slip operation, which in part 'hammer down' the screw caps and make them hard to open.
With the ROBA-capping head, the limit torque can be easily and continuously adjusted, and can be read off directly via a scale. The enclosed construction also protects them against dirt and aggressive media ingress.
