Used AROL 12-Head Capping Machine 24,000 BPH – Overview The AROL capping machine is a rotary plastic screw capping machine designed for high-speed beverage production and industrial packaging. This AROL EuroVPI.ES 12 (built in 2013) features 12 capping heads and a rated capacity of up to 24,000 bottles per hour, making it suitable for a used bottling line requiring reliable, repeatable sealing with 38 mm and 42 mm plastic screw caps. Reference code: TP115. Technical specifications and performance data Main machine data Manufacturer: AROL Model: EuroVPI.ES 12 Year of manufacture: 2013 Reference number: TP115 Technology: Rotary capper for plastic screw caps No. Number of capping heads: 12 Cap types: Plastic screw caps Cap sizes: 38 mm, 42 mm Container sizes handled: 0.5 L and 1 L Rated speed: Up to 24,000 bph (depending on application) Equipment included: Cap feeder for continuous closure feeding Main features Constant torque application across 12 heads for a secure, leak-free seal. Stable rotary motion suitable for high-throughput beverage production. Optimized for quick changeover between 0.5L and 1L formats. Advanced automation and control systems Electrical Characteristics Main power supply: 400V ± 5%, 50Hz ± 1%, 3P + N + PE (separate neutral and earth) Control/auxiliary voltage: 24V DC Instrumentation voltages: 24V AC – 230V AC Electrical cabinet protection: IP54 Motor protection: IP54 Operating controls Adjustable capping torque per head for different closure specifications. Standard safety interlocks and protected access to the capping turret. Operator panel for parameter setting and format data management. Production line integration capability Designed for seamless integration into a used bottling line, the Arol capper interfaces cleanly with upstream fillers and downstream conveyors in beverage manufacturing and larger industrial packaging environments. Line Connectivity Rotary infeed/outfeed handling suitable for synchronization with filling/starwheel systems. Cap feeder included to maintain closure flow for 38mm and 42mm caps. Typical line start/stop and fault reporting available for system handshakes (to be configured according to site standard). Machine Condition and Maintenance History Unit Type: Used, Year 2013. General condition consistent with industrial use; Inspection and functional testing recommended prior to commissioning. Preventive maintenance, wear parts, and format parts must be reviewed during the technical audit. Operational Performance and Versatility High-throughput capping up to 24,000 bph supports demanding beverage production goals. Handles two common formats (0.5L and 1L) with 38/42mm cap sizes, typical for waters, soft drinks, and other liquid packaging in industrial environments. Torque adjustment helps protect threads and maintain seal integrity across different closure suppliers. Installation Requirements and Site Preparation Electrical and Environmental Power supply: 400V ± 5%, 50Hz ± 1%, 3P+N+PE Control voltages: 24V DC; instrumentation: 24V AC – 230V AC Ambient temperature: 5°C to 40°C Relative humidity: 30% to 80% (non-condensing) Maximum installation altitude: 1000m above sea level Hazardous/explosive atmosphere: Not permitted Site provisions Level floor with adequate load-bearing capacity and maintenance access. Ventilation suitable for IP54 equipment enclosures. Compressed air and cap feeder services as required by installed power supply configuration (to be confirmed during survey). Safety standards and compliance certification Machine protection with interlocking access doors for the capping turret area. 24V DC emergency stop devices and safety control circuits. IP54 protection for electrical systems and motors in typical beverage and packaging environments. Compliance documentation and risk assessments to be verified during technical inspections in line with end-user standards.
