VS 700 Automatic Crimping System for PFP Closures

The VS 700 is a crimping module designed for Pilferproof (PFP) aluminium closures ranging from 18 mm to 38 mm in diameter. Precise and easy to operate, it ensures reliable sealing while maintaining a throughput of up to 20 products per minute.

Thanks to its robust design, the VS 700 delivers high-quality capping performance, meeting the requirements of the distillery, food, and cosmetics industries.

Its crimping head is equipped with four stainless steel rollers, ensuring precise forming of PFP aluminium closures. Manual adjustment of the crimping height provides excellent adaptability to most container formats.

To ensure optimum container positioning before the crimping operation, the module incorporates:

• A product indexing system using dual pneumatic cylinders;
• A bottle centring system beneath the crimping head using a pneumatic cylinder;
• One metre of stainless steel conveyor, ensuring excellent product stability.

This combination guarantees consistent, high-quality crimping. Its ergonomic design facilitates product changeovers and routine adjustments while minimising production downtime.

The VS 700 is fully enclosed to ensure safe operation for users while still allowing access for adjustments and maintenance.

Technical Specifications

• Crimping head with four stainless steel rollers;
• Manual crimping height adjustment;
• Product indexing system with dual pneumatic cylinders;
• Pneumatic bottle centring system beneath the crimping head;
• Conveyor with stainless steel profile;
• Full safety guarding with hinged safety doors.

Available Options

• Additional Crimping Heads

The VS 700 can be equipped with additional crimping heads to accommodate different Pilferproof closure diameters. A dedicated crimping head is required for each closure format. However, the minimum and maximum closure diameters must remain within the range of 18 mm to 38 mm.

Finally, the VS 700 is an automatic module that must be controlled by a VSA unit, or it can be installed downstream of a filling machine such as the K-Net Auto or the K-Line S.

FAQ – VS 700

What types of closures can be crimped with the VS 700?

The VS 700 is designed for crimping Pilferproof (PFP) aluminium closures. It can process closures with diameters ranging from 18 mm to 38 mm by fitting the appropriate crimping head for the closure size being used.

What is the production speed of the VS 700?

The VS 700 can achieve speeds of up to 20 products per minute, equivalent to approximately 1,200 products per hour. Actual throughput depends on factors such as container format, closure type, and the machine’s integration within the packaging line.

Can the VS 700 be used as a standalone machine?

No. The VS 700 is an automatic standalone crimping module that must be controlled by a VSA unit, or it can be installed downstream of a filling machine such as the K-Net Auto or the K-Line S.

Is it possible to crimp multiple closure sizes on the same machine?

Yes. The VS 700 can be fitted with multiple crimping heads to handle different Pilferproof closure diameters. However, a dedicated crimping head is required for each closure size.

Which industries can use the VS 700?

The VS 700 is suitable for a wide range of industries using Pilferproof closures, including distilleries, spirits producers, edible oil manufacturers, food processing companies, and cosmetics manufacturers looking to automate their crimping operations.
