MESSERSI

Used Mesal cap sorter - year 2011Technical Specifications & Performance DataThis cap sorter is engineered to reliably sort and orient closures for high-efficiency beverage and industrial packaging lines. Manufactured by MESAL in 2011, it is configured for 28mm screw caps, making it a strong fit for many standard neck finishes in modern bottling operations. As part of a used bottling line or as a standalone auxiliary, it supports consistent cap feed quality to downstream capping machines.Machine type: Cap sorterManufacturer: MESALYear of manufacture: 2011Cap type: Screw capsClosure size compatibility: 28mmApplication: Sorting, orienting, and feeding caps to a capping machineContainer handling context: Designed for bottle closures commonly used with PET and Glass containersAdvanced Automation & Control SystemsThe cap sorter supports automated cap orientation with sensor-guided rejection of misaligned closures and smooth discharge to the cap chute or cap elevator feeding the capping turret. Typical integration includes interlocked operation with upstream and downstream equipment, level management in the cap hopper, and safety-guarded access points to protect operators during routine adjustments and replenishment.Automated orientation for consistent cap presentationSensor-based monitoring for cap flow and orientation qualityInterlocks for safe operation during loading and maintenanceQuick-access guards for routine cleaning and inspectionsProduction Line Integration CapabilitiesDesigned to integrate seamlessly into beverage production and industrial packaging environments, this cap sorter interfaces with a wide range of rotary and linear capping machines. It can operate inline or as a dedicated auxiliary module with an elevator or bowl feeder, ensuring uninterrupted cap supply across various production speeds. Format handling focuses on 28mm screw closures, with potential adaptability to common sub-variants through appropriate change partspatible with rotary and linear cappersInline or standalone auxiliary installationSupports continuous cap feed via chute/elevatorSuitable for PET and Glass bottle closure workflowsMachine Condition & Maintenance HistoryWith a manufacturing year of 2011, this pre-owned component reflects industrial-grade construction tailored for continuous-duty operation. MESAL engineering emphasizes durable materials and accessible maintenance points, enabling streamlined cleaning and inspection. As a second hand asset, it is suited for integration into a used bottling line, offering reliable performance when installed and commissioned according to best practices.Operational Performance & VersatilityThe 28mm screw-cap configuration covers a broad range of beverage production needs in water, juice, beer, wine, and other lines that use compatible closures. Consistent sorting and orientation help stabilize downstream capping torque performance and reduce stoppages due to cap misfeeds. Its compact footprint and proven closure handling ensure dependable uptime and quality presentation at the capping station.Stable cap flow for consistent capping torque controlReduced misfeed-induced stops and improved OEEApplicable across diverse beverage packaging scenarios using 28mm screw capsInstallation Requirements & Site PreparationThe cap sorter is typically installed adjacent to the capping machine with direct connection via cap chute or transfer rail. Standard industrial utilities and mounting provisions are used. Ensure adequate space for safe operator access, cap loading, and routine cleaning. Proper alignment and vibration isolation support smooth cap transport and minimize wear.Position near capping turret with clear access for cap loadingProvision for cap elevator or chute integrationStable, level base to support continuous operationCompliance with plant utility and safety practicesSafety Standards & Compliance CertificationThe unit is designed to operate with protective guards and interlocks in line with common industrial safety practices. Operator safety is supported by emergency stop interfaces and guarded access points. Hygienic design principles, smooth surfaces, and accessible contact areas facilitate cleaning in beverage production environments.Safety guards with interlocked accessEmergency stop compatibility within the lineHygiene-oriented design for beverage applicationsSuitable for integration into compliant industrial packaging systems
