Bertolaso tappatore

Used Bertolaso Kappa 605 Cappers of 1996, a robust 5-head machine specifically engineered for applying mushroom plastic caps. This Bertolaso Kappa 605 operates at a steady speed of 10,000 BPH, making it a solid choice for a production line that needs consistent output for plastic mushroom caps. The design for a clockwise direction of operation is critical for line integration. This second-hand capper features a pick & place distribution system, which is essential for accurate cap placement, particularly with mushroom-style caps, ensuring each cap is individually selected and positioned onto the container. The inclusion of Safety Protection confirms it meets essential operational safety standards, a key consideration for any used bertolaso cappers purchase. This specific model, the Kappa 605, is purpose-built for glass containers, which means its handling components are designed to manage the specific characteristics of glass without damage at 10,000 BPH. A buyer looking for second-hand cappers for sale will find this Bertolaso Kappa 605 10000 BPH unit located in Europe and offered in an As Is condition.

When inspecting this particular 1996 Bertolaso Kappa 605, focus first on the five capping heads. Check the condition of the individual capping chucks for wear, especially the gripping surfaces and the spring-loaded mechanisms responsible for applying torque to the mushroom plastic caps. Excessive play or scoring here indicates heavy use or poor maintenance. Pay close attention to the pick & place distribution system – examine the cap pickup fingers or vacuum cups (depending on the exact design) for damage or deformation; reliable cap transfer is paramount. On a 1996 vintage unit, scrutinize the main drive gearbox for any oil leaks or excessive noise during operation, as this could indicate worn gears or bearings. V-belts or timing belts, if present, should be checked for cracking, fraying, or stretch. Verify that the documented Safety Protection is fully functional; interlocks on guards should prevent operation when open, and emergency stops should immediately cut power. Ask to see the electrical cabinet, specifically looking for any signs of corrosion, unauthorized modifications, or outdated PLC/HMI components that might be difficult to support. Always inquire about the availability of machine manuals, wiring diagrams, and any spare parts inventory included with the sale – especially specific parts for the capping heads or the pick & place mechanism. The ‘As Is’ condition means thorough inspection is your responsibility, so confirm every moving part operates smoothly without excessive vibration or binding.

Integrating this Bertolaso Kappa 605 capper, running at 10,000 BPH with a clockwise rotation, demands careful upstream and downstream planning. Given its speed, you'll need a cap feeder and sorter capable of continuously supplying mushroom plastic caps at or above 10,000 units per hour to avoid starving the capper. An unscrambler and filler capable of delivering glass containers at an equivalent rate (or higher, with buffering) must precede it. For the clockwise rotation, ensure the infeed conveyor presents containers to the capper's right side, flowing counter-clockwise around the turret for capping. Outfeed conveyors should peel off to the right. Accumulation preceding the capper is crucial; a 2-3 minute buffer (around 300-500 bottles) will help absorb minor upstream stoppages without impacting the capper's consistent output or creating jams. Post-capper accumulation is equally important to handle downstream equipment variations like labeling or packing. When requesting format changeover parts, specify change parts for any different bottle diameters or heights you plan to run. For new bottle sizes, ask for starwheels, worms, and cap chute guides. Throughput balancing considerations include ensuring your conveying system can smoothly merge and diverge bottles without creating back pressure or gaps, especially at the capper's entry and exit points.
