Used AROL Pick & Place capping machine 10000 BPHTechnical
Specifications & Performance DataThis Arol capping machine is designed
for the closure stage of a used bottling line, applying T caps and
plastic screw caps to bottles. Its pick-and-place capping system
supports accurate cap handling and controlled application in beverage
production and industrial packaging operations.Manufacturer: ArolYear:
2008Maximum output: up to 10,000 bottles per hourCapping system:
Pick-and-placeCap types: T cap and plastic screw capRotation
direction: ClockwiseDocumented head configuration: 8 heads, with
references to 6 T-cap heads and 6 screw-capping headsAdvanced
Automation & Control SystemsThe pick-and-place system is intended to
position caps before closure, supporting repeatable capping operations
at line speed. Clockwise rotation is specified for the machine
configuration. During refurbishment, the capping head setup, cap
delivery components, sensors, drives, and control functions can be
assessed to ensure correct synchronization between bottle handling and
cap application.The machine can be incorporated into an automated
bottling equipment layout with suitable infeed and discharge transfer
systems. Its cap-handling arrangement is relevant for facilities
processing different closure styles, subject to the installed tooling
and bottle-neck compatibility.Production Line Integration
CapabilitiesThis capping machine is suited to installation downstream
of a filling machine and upstream of labeling, inspection, or
secondary packaging equipment. It can form part of a second hand
bottling line for PET and Glass bottles, where reliable closure
application is essential before bottles continue to the next packaging
stage.For industrial packaging and beverage production, conveyors must
present bottles consistently to the capping carousel and remove closed
bottles without interrupting line flow. Bottle guides, starwheels, cap
feed arrangements, and change parts should be matched to the required
bottle profile, neck finish, cap dimensions, and closure type.Machine
Condition & Maintenance HistoryThe machine is under maintenance and
requires refurbishment. This status makes it appropriate for buyers
planning a technical review and overhaul before commissioning. A
refurbishment programme can focus on the mechanical condition of the
capping heads, pick-and-place mechanism, cap transfer components,
rotary transmission, and bottle-handling interfaces.Inspection of wear
parts, lubrication points, guarding, electrical components, and
format-related tooling is important before the machine is returned to
service. The stated 2008 manufacturing year provides useful context
for planning servicing, replacement parts, and integration into an
existing production line.Operational Performance & VersatilityThe Arol
capping machine combines T-cap and plastic screw-cap capability with a
pick-and-place operating principle. This makes it relevant where a
bottling operation requires dedicated closure handling for bottles
fitted with these cap styles. The specified maximum capacity of up to
10,000 bottles per hour supports integration into medium-speed
bottling and industrial packaging applications.Effective closure
quality depends on correct matching of cap type, cap size, neck
finish, bottle stability, and head adjustment. Following overhaul and
setup, the machine can support consistent closure application as part
of a beverage production process.Installation Requirements & Site
PreparationInstallation requires a stable, level position within the
bottle conveyor route, with sufficient access for cap feeding,
adjustment, cleaning, servicing, and safe operator access. The
upstream filler and downstream equipment should be synchronized to
maintain a steady bottle flow through the capper.Before commissioning,
the electrical supply, pneumatic services where required by the
installed configuration, conveyor heights, bottle guides, and cap-feed
interfaces should be verified. Site preparation should also allow
access for maintenance of the capping heads and rotating
assemblies.Safety Standards & Compliance CertificationSafe operation
requires appropriate guarding around rotating capping components,
bottle-transfer points, and cap-handling mechanisms. Emergency-stop
devices, interlocks, and operator protections should be checked as
part of the refurbishment and commissioning process.For use in a
bottling equipment environment, the machine should be maintained in
clean operating condition and integrated with line safety controls.
Verification of machine protections and operating procedures is
essential before production use.
