Zalkin cap orienting systems, which are also referred to as cap sorting systems or cap sorters, are offered for rotary monobloc, rotary freestanding and single-head cappers. Cap orienters assure that caps are delivered to the capping machine in the correct position for efficient cap application. This typically means that the cap is delivered to the capper so the bottom of the closure is aligned with the neck finish of the container. Zalkin offers waterfall and rotary systems that accommodate a wide range of closure types, sizes and geometries. Waterfall cap orienters use inclined cleated belts and the “center of gravity” principle to properly align caps and then supply them via a single file cap chute to the capping machine. Rotary orienters use various combinations of centrifugal force, compressed air and creative geometry to align caps and then supply them via a single file cap chute to the cap applicator/dispenser. There are many available configurations of rotary orienters to accommodate the wide range of closure types, closure geometries and sizes. Zalkin cap handling systems offer unmatched performance because each component is best-in-class, and all system components are designed to work together to meet or exceed a customer’s expectations.
