Nortan capsulatrice

Used Nortan Unico 35 Capsuling Machines of 1999, specifically engineered for applying polylaminate capsules. This particular second-hand capsuling machine for sale boasts a single head operation, delivering a steady production speed of 750 bottles per hour. The Unico 35 handles bottles moving in a clockwise direction, making it suitable for integration into existing lines with this orientation. Safety is addressed on this unit, as it is equipped with integrated safety protection. You're looking at a reliable Nortan Unico 35 750 BPH unit, proven in its function for polylaminate capsule application. This used Nortan capsuling machine is available in Europe and is offered in 'As Is' condition.

When inspecting this 1999 Nortan Unico 35 capsuling machine, a few critical areas warrant close attention. First, focus on the single head mechanism: inspect the condition of the capsule dispensing system. Look for wear on the gripping fingers or vacuum cups (if applicable) that pick up the polylaminate capsules. Check the general mechanics of the head's vertical movement and rotation; listen for any unusual noises that might indicate worn gears or bearings. Given its age, pay close attention to the general state of the electrical cabinet and wiring – look for brittle insulation, signs of overheating, or makeshift repairs. Verify that the stated safety protection is fully functional and up to current standards. Look for intact safety interlocks on access doors and emergency stop buttons. Often, older machines may have had safety features bypassed, which is a significant red flag. Inquire if the original owner can provide any operational manuals or electrical diagrams, which are invaluable for maintenance and troubleshooting. Ask about the availability of common wear parts, even if not included with the machine. Specifically, inquire about seals, O-rings, and any specialized parts for handling polylaminate capsules, as these can be unique to Nortan. For a 1999 machine, look for evidence of routine maintenance, checking lubrication points for cleanliness and signs of regular application. Any significant corrosion or deep scoring on polished surfaces could suggest poor maintenance or challenging operating conditions. Pay attention to the condition of the motor and gearbox; excessive vibration or noise during a test run would be a concern. Finally, visually confirm the clockwise direction of bottle flow, as any discrepancy could impact line integration without further modifications.

Integrating this Nortan Unico 35 capsuling machine into your line at 750 BPH requires careful consideration of upstream and downstream equipment to maintain flow. Given its clockwise direction, your line will need to present bottles to the infeed in a clockwise orientation. Before this single-head capsuling unit, you'd typically have a filler and a corker or capper, ensuring a stable, capped bottle arrives at the Unico 35 for polylaminate capsule application. To prevent bottlenecks, ensure your upstream equipment can consistently feed at or slightly above 750 BPH. An infeed accumulation table, perhaps a small rotary table or a short section of multi-lane conveyor, could smooth out any minor fluctuations from the corker/capper. Downstream, after the polylaminate capsule is applied, a short buffer conveyor is advisable before any subsequent labeling or packaging, allowing for minor machine stoppages without backing up the capsuler. For the conveyor layout, a straight-through or gentle curve approach feeding into the clockwise infeed of the Unico 35 would be most efficient. Regarding format changeover parts, while a single head machine often has fewer complex change parts than multi-head units, you should inquire about any specific bottle neck guides, star wheels, or infeed scrolls designed for your container type. Requesting any existing change parts for different bottle diameters or heights will save significant time and cost. Throughput balancing at 750 BPH is generally straightforward; the main concern is ensuring continuous, stable feeding and discharge. Consider photoelectric sensors at the infeed and outfeed to manage conveyor speed and prevent jams, especially if integrating with faster or slower machinery. The single-head design inherently provides a consistent, albeit lower, output compared to multi-head machines, making it predictable for line balancing.
