Intelligent Flexibility for Jerry Can Capping

42

The Challenge

A leading producer in the chemical sector required a reliable solution to cap 5-liter jerry cans with pre-threaded caps. Their priority was not only precision and reliability, but also the ability to collect production data at the end of each shift, ensuring full traceability and performance monitoring.

The Solution

TORQ provided a TM PF PK PP single-head capper, designed specifically to meet these requirements. Unlike traditional solutions, this machine is fully electronic:

  • The capping head and cam are electronically controlled.

  • The pick & place system is driven by a servo motor.

  • The star ensures smooth and continuous operation controlled by servo motor.

This configuration makes the machine a truly intelligent system, where every movement is precise, repeatable, and fully monitored.

Sustainability & Energy Saving

The use of servo-driven technology not only enhances precision and flexibility, but also delivers significant energy savings.
Unlike traditional mechanical or pneumatic systems, servomotors:

  • Operate only when needed, avoiding unnecessary energy consumption.

  • Adapt power in real time, supplying exactly what is required for each step.

  • Reduce mechanical losses, thanks to the absence of cams, clutches, and excess friction.

For multinational companies focused on efficiency and ESG goals, this translates into:

  • Lower operating costs through reduced electricity consumption.

  • Higher efficiency in terms of output per kWh.

  • Reduced environmental impact, supporting sustainable production strategies.
