MECAS

CAPPING MACHINE

MECAS is the fully-automatic cap assembling and sealing system that completes the SYFPAC® LVP line wherever Euro-type caps are required. It is composed of two units named MECAS T2 (assembling machine) and MECAS 9Z (sealing machine).

THE MACHINE

FEATURES

The system is composed by two units that integrate the LVP line.

The first station, called MECAS T2, assembles the plastic cap onto the sealed bottles arriving from the SYFPAC® machineA drop of water for injection is placed between the cap and the container head: this operation facilitates an effective sterilization of the space between the cap and the bottle head during terminal sterilization. 

A conveyor belt then transfers the bottles to the second station, MECAS 9Z, where the caps are hermetically sealed by injection moulding. This second unit is equipped by individual hot-runner injection units, for a complete control over each station. 

PRODUCTION ROOM

T2 dimensions are 3,8 x 3,4 x 2,7 meters. 9Z dimensions are 5,4 x 3,4 x 2,7 meters. Depending on the layout, a complete LVP line can start from a total length of 11 meters. 

PRODUCTION RATE

Just as SYFPAC® LVP machine produces 2500 units per hour, MECAS system is able to deliver sealed capped bottles at a rate of 2500 bottles per hour 

HIGH FLEXIBILITY

There are different types of Euro-cap that can be assembled on MECAS system, allowing to use the more common products in the marketcaps with one or two tabs, insocaps with aluminium foil, 2-port caps for IV solutions, twist-off caps. Caps either in PP or PE can equally be used, while usual diameter is 31 cm. We will be happy to study solutions for caps with different design or dimension.

SEALING FEATURES

The ring of plastic that seals the cap to the bottles is done by injection moulding, which gives a perfect seal and visual indication of sealing. This perfect seal prevents leaks between cap and bottle collar and ensures that liquid does not spill from any part of the bottle.  

DETAILS

Mecas T2 is the first station after the LVP machine, to assemble the cap onto the sealed bottles.

Mecas 9Z is the second station in line, which seals the cap to the bottle with a plastic ring. Injection moulding of the ring makes sure there are no leaks.

Containers produced by BFS machines are hermetically sealed and sterile, but in some countries they still need additional closure to facilitate dispensing: the most common closure is Euro Cap.

Apart from Euro caps, many different types of additional closures are available and it is important to choose the right one, based on its price and function

We can also provide orientation of the cap prior to placement, so that the spike never penetrates on the parting line of the bottle head when inserted.

The system is fully automatic, and features a fully-fledged SCADA system. A 14 inches display features an easy-to-use interface to keep track of important data like productivity, various settings, and alarms.

The machine supports remote assistance so our technicians can remotely connect whenever necessary to help you troubleshoot problems as quick as possible.
