The automatic capping machine VS 2000 is a machine designed and manufactured by CDA. It allows the automatic feeding of caps onto the containers and subsequently the capping. The machine is equipped with a fully stainless steel encased chassis. The VS 2000 is available in three sizes of stainless steel conveyors (82.5 mm, 114 mm, and 190 mm).

This capping machine can handle a wide variety of caps (with a diameter ranging from Ø20 to 75 mm). Depending on the customer’s requirements, the VS 2000 is equipped with a suitable gripper or spur gear head. It can handle smooth caps, hinged caps, childproof caps, ribbed caps, caps with built-in lids, and many more.

Its operation is straightforward : a vibratory bowl transports the caps to a multi-format belt conveyor. A sensor detects the presence of the caps, and a mechanism conveys them to the capping head. As for the capping and torque adjustment, they are performed by a brushless motor.

The VS 2000 operates autonomously and is controlled by an intuitive touchscreen. However, it can also be integrated with other CDA machines (to form a complete packaging line) such as :

• a filler (for example, the K-Net Auto or the K-Line S),
• a labeler (Solo range, Ninon range).
  

Thanks to its versatility, this automatic capping machine can be adapted to various industries, including :

• agri-food,
• cosmetics,
• chemistry,
• animal products.
