The Beltorque line of standalone linear capping systems includes three models:
- BT-IC – Inline Automated Capper
- BT-ST – Inline Screwer Capper
- BT-RT – Inline Retorquer
The Beltorque BT-IC is a fully automatic capping system
The BT-IC uses direct pick-off technology to automatically place the cap on the container, and belts to screw-on and seal the cap to the container. Highlights include:
- Three sets of belts using Beltorque’s synchronized belt-drive application process provide superior capping results.
- Container gripper belts provide positive control over containers as they move through the cap application process.
- Screw-on belts begin the cap application process
- Tightening belts apply the remaining torque required to correctly seal the closure to the container.
The patented and the complete torque application process for every applied cap is monitored in real time to support quality assurance and control.
The BT-ST is a semi-automatic capping system:
The BT-ST automatically torques caps that have been placed on containers upstream from the capper. It completes the application process by screwing-on and tightening caps using the patented beltorque synchronized belt application system.
Highlights include:
- Three sets of belts provide superior capping results.
- Container gripper belts provide positive control over containers as they move through the cap application process.
- Screw-on belts begin the cap application process
- Tightening belts apply the remaining torque required to correctly seal the closure to the container.
The Beltorque BT-ST system is an ideal, cost effective solution for production lines running multiple SKUs with multiple cap types. In such lines, manual processes are commonly used to place caps on containers, and the BT-ST does the rest.
The BT-RT is a re-torquer system:
The Beltorque BT-RT is an inline re-torquer typically used downstream from a cap induction sealer or for caps that require addition torque to complete the capping process. It completes the retorque process using a two-belt system.
Twin container gripper belts stabilize the containers as they proceed through the re-torquing process. The tightening belts apply the final torque to the caps.
Beltorque application engineers work closely with customers to design and configure the capping systems ideally suited to each application and production environment.
