Nortan capsulatrice

Used Nortan PRISMA 4+4 TR Capsuling Machine of 2002, this unit is a robust solution for diverse bottling lines. Specifically, this used Nortan capsuling machine, model PRISMA 4+4 TR, is configured with a 3000 bph speed, handling containers in a clockwise direction. Its specialized setup includes 4 shrink heads dedicated to PVC capsules and an additional 4 rolling heads for poly-laminate capsules, offering versatility for different capsule materials. Originally manufactured in 2002, this second-hand capsuling machine for sale comes equipped with essential safety protections, ensuring operational security. The inclusion of both shrink and rolling heads in a single machine streamlines the capsuling process, catering to varied product requirements without needing separate units. This particular Nortan PRISMA 4+4 TR 3000 BPH is available for immediate acquisition, located within Europe, and is offered in 'As Is' condition. For operations requiring a dependable, dual-purpose capsuler with proven performance, this unit presents a cost-effective option for integrating into existing packaging lines. The machine's design and head configuration reflect its capability to manage different cap types efficiently, making it a valuable asset for producers needing adaptable capsuling solutions.

When inspecting this 2002 Nortan PRISMA 4+4 TR, focus on the wear points inherent to capsuling machines of this vintage and type. For the 4 shrink heads, check the condition of the heating elements for uniformity and control system responsiveness; uneven heating leads to poor capsule adhesion. Examine the integrity of the heat tunnel insulation. On the 4 rolling heads for poly-laminate, inspect the roller bearings and the consistency of the crimping pressure; excessive play or scoring indicates worn components affecting capsule finish. Confirm the synchronization between the bottle handling system (starwheels and center bells) and both sets of heads. Look for signs of corrosion or product residue in inaccessible areas, which often points to inconsistent cleaning routines. Verify the listed safety protections; ensure guards are physically present, interlocks function, and emergency stops are responsive. Check the main electrical panel for original components, noting any modifications that might not be fully documented. Ask for any available spare parts, especially for the high-wear items like head components, seals, and spring assemblies within the rolling heads. A key red flag would be inconsistent capsule application across multiple heads, suggesting fundamental wear or misalignment that goes beyond simple adjustments. Confirm the original manual and schematics are available, which are invaluable for a 2002 machine, helping to verify any undocumented modifications and ensure future maintenance and sourcing of parts is feasible.

Integrating this Nortan PRISMA 4+4 TR capsuling machine, with its 3000 bph speed and clockwise rotation, requires careful consideration of upstream and downstream equipment to maintain flow. Preceding the capsuler, a rinser and a 24-40 spouts filler are typical, followed by a closure machine, ensuring bottles arrive caps-ready. Given the 3000 bph throughput, an in-line conveyor system, ideally 4.5 inches wide, should feed the capsuler. Given the clockwise direction, operators would stand to the right of the infeed, observing bottle flow. For effective accumulation, a 36-inch diameter rotary accumulation table before the capsuler can absorb minor upstream interruptions, preventing line stops. Post-capsuler, another accumulation table or a buffer conveyor section is advisable to manage the output before labeling, especially if a sophisticated pressure-sensitive labeller follows. When requesting format change parts, buyers must specify current bottle diameter and height, as well as the PVC and poly-laminate capsule dimensions. This includes the infeed worm screw, starwheels, and discharge guides tailored for a specific bottle configuration. Throughput balancing means ensuring the next piece of equipment, likely a labeller, can match or slightly exceed 3000 bph to avoid bottlenecks immediately downstream from this critical capsuling step. Given the 3000 BPH, a modest 3-meter straight conveyor section is sufficient for conveying between stations.
