Our vacuum cap sorter works by using a vacuum to separate the caps into two different streams, depending on orientation. One track is inverted and the other remains upright, leading to all caps being either cavity-up or cavity-down, depending on the particular application. This system is especially beneficial as it does not rely on recirculation, leading to higher throughputs.

WHAT IS A CAP SORTER SYSTEM?

Cap sorting systems, also known as cap sorters or cap orienting systems, help make sure that caps are transferred to lining, stacking, filling, or capping machines in the proper position. The caps are added into a spinning bowl, which rotates in a circular motion to discharge the correctly sorted caps.

Some cap sorting uses include:

Product stacking

Conveyor lane diverting

Inverting of products for stacking

Box infeed and location

Product transfer
