SETTING AND ADJUSTMENT OF THE CAPPING HEAD To achieve the correct performance of the capping head M2000 a periodic maintenance as well as its accurate setting is indispensable. A first and complete setting is given at the time of the final test of the capping head according to the the specific characteristics of the cap to be applied or according to specific Customer requirements.

threading rollers. Screw (clockwise) or unscrew (anti-clockwise) this bush by introducing a long pin in the cavities G. Once the adjustments are completed firmly lock the safety grub screw F. WARNING Make sure that before putting back safety grub screw F it is dipped in medium density “loctite” yellow paste. Lift the machine so that the load on the capping inner spring is now released.

After verifying that all the arms are adjusted to the same load, carry out a few applications of the cap on the bottle thus verifying that it conforms to the technical specification. If the quality of the application is acceptable, then it means that the loads on the arms are correct. If negative, repeat the above described adjustments.

MAINTENANCE -Lubrication of the thread rollers: weekly. -Lubrication of the tuck-under rollers: weekly. -Check that the grub screws are well tightened: Half yearly. For a trouble free working of the capping head we advice to observe the following recommendations: -Monthly: Inject grease (for food machinery) compatible with the FDA norms, using the grease gun A (Fig 5) for the lubrication of the inner ball bearings of the capping head.
