The VS 400 is an automatic capping module that integrates with various CDA machines such as fillers (K-Net Auto, K-Line S) and complete lines (or an E-Fill).

Thanks to its different capping heads, this capping machine adapts itself to various cylindrical caps (caps with vertical grooves, pipette caps, pre-threaded screw caps, screw caps, and hinged lids). This versatility makes it ideal for various industries such as :

• Food and beverages,
• Cosmetics,
• Chemicals,
• Veterinary products,
• E-liquids.
  

In addition to adapting to a variety of caps, the VS 400 is very user-friendly. For example, the height adjustment is done through a crank.

This machine has detection cells to ensure the presence of bottles/caps and thus the safe conveyance of products. The capping speed of the VS 400 can reach up to 25 products/minute. However, this speed varies depending on numerous factors (the cap, applied torque, operator, upstream machine, etc.).

In addition to capping machines, CDA proposes a complete range of filling, labeling, and monobloc machines.

FAQ: VS 400 Capping Module

1. What types of caps can be tightened with CDA’s VS 400?

The VS 400 is a capping module suitable for caps with vertical ribs, dropper caps, pre-threaded screw caps, standard screw caps, and hinged lids.

2. What types of containers can be closed with the VS 400?

CDA’s VS 400 can be used with various container formats, including vials, bottles, and jars. Its versatility makes it suitable for a wide range of industries requiring precise and consistent screw capping.

3. Can the VS 400’s capping head be customized?

Yes. The VS 400’s capping head is designed according to the type of cap being used to ensure optimal capping performance. This customization provides effective cap handling and consistent closure quality.

4. What is the capping speed of the VS 400?

CDA’s VS 400 can reach speeds of up to 25 containers per minute. The actual speed varies depending on the container and cap formats, as well as production conditions.

5. Does the VS 400 detect the presence of caps and containers?

Yes. The VS 400 is equipped with detection sensors that check for the presence of both containers and caps before the capping cycle begins. These systems help secure the packaging process and prevent errors.

6. Can the VS 400 be integrated into a complete packaging line?

Yes. The VS 400 is a capping module designed to be integrated into another machine. It cannot be used as a standalone machine. It can be added as an option to a filling machine, such as the K-Line S, a capping machine such as the VSA, a labeling machine from the Ninon range, or a monoblock machine such as the E-Fill.

7. Is the VS 400 easy to adjust?

Yes. The VS 400 is designed to facilitate machine adjustments and cap or container format changes. Its height can be adjusted using a hand crank, allowing the machine to be quickly adapted to different container formats.

8. Which industries is the VS 400 designed for?

The VS 400 meets the needs of many industries, including food processing, cosmetics, chemicals, veterinary products, and natural products. Its versatility allows it to be adapted to a wide range of applications.

9. What is the difference between the VS 400 and a semi-automatic capping machine?

Unlike semi-automatic capping machines, where the operator manually positions the container under the capping head, the VS 400 automatically conveys the container to the capping head. However, the cap must be manually placed on the container by an operator before the capping cycle begins automatically once the presence of both the container and cap has been detected.

In addition, a semi-automatic capping machine can operate independently, whereas the VS 400 must be installed on another machine, typically a filling machine or a monoblock system.

10. Why choose CDA’s VS 400 automatic capping machine?

The VS 400 combines versatility, precision, and ease of integration. With its capping head adapted to different types of caps, detection systems, and ability to be integrated into complete packaging lines, it provides a reliable solution for automating container capping.
