The stand-alone Bottle Capper BC 200 is ideal for capping different-sized round or square bottles with various screw or push-on caps. Designed for quick changeovers between different bottle and cap formats, it offers exceptional flexibility with its tool-free format changeover. The servo-driven spindle heads ensure high accuracy and repeatability when closing caps. Maintenance and cleaning are simplified by the unobstructed access provided by the machine’s balcony design. With the central intuitive SmartControl operation system, you get user-friendly operation, easy audit-trail reporting, statistics, and seamless connectivity to other machines. All these features contribute to the outstanding economic efficiency of the BC 200.
Flexible and accurate Bottle Capper
Whether you’re handling small or medium batches of different bottle sizes on your filling line, the BC 200, with its quick format changeovers, will maximize your flexibility. Processing caps with different dimensions? The precise spindle heads of the BC 200 can be easily exchanged. Need to check for the presence of a seal or desiccant in the cap? It’s all possible. The need for expensive screw format parts is eliminated, thanks to the accurate rake drive that positions the bottles for cap placement and torquing. Faulty bottles with skewed caps, caps set too high, or those with incorrect torque are automatically rejected to a bin at the front side of the machine. All these features combine to enhance the flexibility and accuracy of your bottle production line.
High efficient and silent operation
The servo-driven bottle transport, combined with linear placing and capping spindles, achieves high and consistent speeds of up to 200 bottles per minute. At the same time the BC 200’s enclosure ensures silent operation and high safety levels. Bottle caps are efficiently sorted in the high-capacity sorting bowl. Additionally, the cap-lift, with its large 150-liter hopper with level control, ensures long refill intervals, maximizing uptime and productivity in your production line. As a result, the BC 200 provides a reliable and efficient solution for high-speed bottle capping, ideal for enhancing productivity.
SmartControl operating system
Unlock the full potential of your automatic Bottle Capper with the central intuitive SmartControl operating system. Navigate seamlessly through operations, generate comprehensive audit-trail reports, and access real-time statistics with unparalleled ease and precision. Accurately track downtime, production time, and waiting time, while effortlessly entering batch orders to maintain operational efficiency. Rest assured with the integrated UPS, providing robust backup and recovery capabilities, ensuring uninterrupted operations and safeguarding against potential disruptions.
A flexible production line
The BC 200 is one of six stand-alone machines developed for a complete production line to count solid dose pills. Seamlessly integrate processes and harness the power of data with Pexcite, Uhlmann’s proprietary software platform. This powerful platform enables seamless communication and coordination between machines, ensuring enhanced connectivity, transparency, and safety throughout your production line. Monitor and manage the entire production process with precision and ease, from unscrambling bottles and adding desiccant to counting tablets, capping, and retorquing, to achieve unparalleled efficiency and performance.
