Unscrews and Removes Bottle Caps Efficiently
The Rotomat series by Krones is designed for efficient removal of screw caps in diverse beverage processing environments. This rotary decapper utilizes a multi-gripper head that ensures precise unscrewing without damaging bottle threads. Suitable for soft drinks, spirits, water, milk-based beverages, and juices, its applications extend across bottling, packaging, and recycling industries. It supports line outputs of up to 60,000 bottles per hour, suitable for high-speed, continuous operations. The system’s automation integrates seamlessly into existing production lines, featuring automatic height adjustment and low-noise operation. Constructed from stainless steel AISI 304, it guarantees durability and corrosion resistance. The modular design accommodates various layout configurations, enabling installation flexibility in tight production spaces. With roller-controlled grippers and a compact footprint, it ensures high reliability and minimal maintenance downtime.
