Crown Food Europe is specifically targeting small and medium-sized manufacturers with its new Smart Capper machine, to be launched at FachPack in Nuremberg 25-27 September.
The Crown Holdings business unit says the new machine provides “high-quality sealing for glass jars and bottles” and has adjustable running speeds to assist manufacturers who need to manage fluctuations in their production volumes.
Developed in Crown’s Centre of Excellence in Aprilia, Italy, the Smart Capper complies with EU directive 2006/42/CE on machine safety, and is said to have been designed for ease of use, providing quick and easy manual cap and glass size changeovers.
The machine can run at up to 150 caps per minute, and can be operated efficiently at a speed adapted, via an electronic link, to the rest of the production line.
“A wide range of companies in Europe, both big and small, rely on our capping solutions to ensure their products reach consumers in perfect quality,” says Ana Neale, Crown Food Europe marketing director.
“We have designed the Smart Capper with small and medium-sized manufacturers in mind, ensuring that it provides the performance and variable speeds that they require.”
